Martin is in AR’s (in)famous training block.

Three hamstrings in three years.

The weekly reminder that Binns has never played an AFL game.

Essendon have improved this year. The building blocks of their game around stoppages and defensive intent are much stronger than last year. Collingwood are 10pc off. Think both will be in the 7-11 ladder mix.

Always looks incredibly unhappy.

Marchbank, Motlop, Martin? We are deliberately taking a conservative approach to injury management and I’m in favour of that. But our comms delivery is a process of managing expectations related to that approach and it is not entirely transparent. Again, not critical as the club really can’t...

Not defending the post you are responding to … however the club is managing comms closely. It’s not misleading in my view but they only release information they feel is necessary and the timing of said information release is always on the club’s terms. this approach, in my view, does fuel...

We would be better to go after Phillips from North IMO. Cheaper and younger.

Can’t remember the last time Cameron took a pack mark. If we dont play a mobile defender on him, we are nuts. Kemp gets first crack imo.

VFL practice match against Richmond I believe. Despite the continuing spread of AFL (and club) media, it doesn’t quite stretch to that level as yet.

If only one of our small forwards was in this discussion. Durdin was very promising on Saturday. Boyd/Cottrell/TDK/Harry and a shout out to Carroll who has taken another step ... needs more time.

In our favour: Stewart is their number 2 most important player (behind Cameron) They are undefeated. We are the kings of inflicting first losses for opposition this year The Gabba was waterlogged on Saturday night. There were 158 tackles laid. Sore/tired. Weitering has a good record on Hawkins...

Came off with a leg issue - was hampered at times in the second half.

Everything? Quite a definitive statement.

Another big week for A-Russ explaining how he tried to stave off contact injuries to Weitering, Newman and Williams.

1. contested footy wins important games 2. 2 rucks eh? 3. Cripps is gawd. Walsh is Jeezus.

Kreuzer was meant to break the mould. Can you believe his best goal return in a single season was just 13!

Is that the new GWS jumper?

Just my view - not expecting the club views them the same as I do.

Cerra is a big watch on the injury front - three hamstrings in three years since he joined Carlton. Expect they will be quite conservative.

That would be a win/win for us. Helps us in the short term and increases his trade value in the off-season. There will be clubs out there who back themselves in to get him right, fitness-wise. Good luck to them. If we were to get a third-rounder for Cuningham through him showing some form and...

I don’t think those guys are necessarily competing for the same role. And I think we’ve seen enough of all those you mention. From a long term list management perspective — FP: Motlop > Durdin > Owies > Fantasia HF: Martin > E Hollands > Fogarty > Cottrell > Cuningham

Agree - be interested to see how the narrative develops in the coming weeks.

Voss pummelled at today's presser regarding the injury list. His response best described as defiant ... not going to change the approach.

Spend all day being direct and specific with players/coaches etc and go into blah mode with the media. Green shoots, anyone?

Gee you have to be fast around here!

In terms of list management, the earlier decisions are made (unofficially), the better placed the club will be to identify appropriate alternatives. In my view, we have all the information we need on these players - years of information. What's the old saying about doing the same thing over...
