2 weeks was definitely mentioned. Might have been "2 weeks til he's back on the track" for light duties and running?

I’m not losing it or checking in for a month of sobriety just yet.Mid-Jan too, been involved with his running in pics but hand still covered. It was not supposed to interrupt his training much, so hopefully resuming all ball work shortly.
Gibbons is hopeful to play this match, so the “rules” have hopefully lifted on his availability to run out there (then JLT).
1 - 2 weeks? It lives on

Goddard a chance then or will they use Kerr in the back line?
If you’re going to bring someone in to the club as a defender, give them an opportunity to show what they can bring to the table. Goddard should be given the chance.
Kerr is a forward and should be played there. I’m hoping it’s development only for him and Levi in the pre-season in the backline.
I'd pick Goddard ahead of Kerr. I'd also let Weiters have a go being the big dog at FB. Maybe they can alternate during the game, perhaps a better combo is Weiters CHB & Goddard FB.
As for mids (& mids playing forward) I'd probably look at starting
FOL: Lobbe, Kennedy, Dow
C: Walsh, SPS, O'Brien
Then across hff/small fwd/bench have Setterfield, Cuningham, Polson, Gibbons, Garlett, Stocker, Cottrell.
Maybe just give Murph, Ed, Simmo & Thomas a little cameo or not even not play them at all.
Anyone seen the numbers that can played for this game? 8 on the bench with half-time switch of 8...?
Though Bolt’s has in the past liked to run players in over the pre-season, does this change with AR’s guidance?

They are training well but I'd be surprised if Setterfield & Stocker play just yet.

My bet is that they will both play the second JLT.
This will be interesting. Balancing the "they must endure" against having a look at a number of contenders for a number of positions.
We have a couple of Intra Clubs scheduled and are doing a lot of match sims. We are now in game phase and it's mostly what we will do until Rd One. Everyone will get their chance
^^won’t see Crippa or Fisher out on the park due to AFLX.
Looks like Schumacher is slightly off on his training (exercises off with Pickett in QLD) & SV alluded to a different program, though would like to see some opportunity his way if deserving (as he was getting close late last year but never really mentioned by BB as such).
Hoping that Setterfield may be right for a run but no hurry if the timing’s not there just yet.
Hoping to hear of solid or improving performances from; JSOS, Dow, LOB, SPS, Kennedy, McKay, TDK, Stocker, Walsh, Plowman, Garlett, Weiters, Newman, DC, Polson, CC, Phillips, Kerr, Gibbons, Setters, Goddard and hopefully Cottrell (even Lebois, BSOS or Finbar if they’re ready).
B: Plowman Goddard Newman
HB: Garlett Weitering Cottrell
R: Phillips Kennedy Gibbons
C: Walsh Setterfield LOB
HF: SPS Charlie DC
F: JSOS McKay Polson
I: TDK, Dow, Stocker, Kerr & whoever else wants a run

Excellent. Looking forward to this. Might get there around 8am to get a good seat
Interesting Williamson not listed in rehab group and Macreadie listed but not reason?

Setters!
They might give guys like Setterfied Stocker a quarter or max half a game. Practice match I think there will be players all over the place lots of rotations.
Probably play 26 players if not more

schumacher - forgotten man yet?
How real do these practice matches end up being in a physicality sense? Not concerned about injuries, just wondering whether they tend to be a bit of kick and giggle rather than fully-fledged matches.
