No surprises that DeGoey will miss start of season.

Hope he’s back by Rd[emoji639] (Dogs), which is immediately followed by Blues, Swans and Lions. We need all hands on deck!

(Our fixture really does suck. All of our first six opponents are likely to play Finals this year and it really doesn’t improve much from there. We’ve been done over by AFL HQ.)

I have Dogs, Blues and Swans all missing finals.
 
Anyone else find it a touch odd that allegedly De Goey is "ready to play" but they didn't decide to play him for a quarter or two last night?

“Jordy's actually right to play, but he probably just hasn't done the match play minutes, so the jump's probably a bit too much at the moment.
“He's in a really hard training block. We're trying to not take the short-term approach with him, we're trying to set him up for the year.

Given the intensity of a practice match is well below that of a real match, I feel like a quarter or two of a practice match would have been something worth doing?

Assuming we take them at their word about his health (after last year I don't particularly)

No.
 
Available this week:


Brayden Maynard



After experiencing soreness following the Club’s match simulation in Gold Coast, Brayden Maynard was managed for the practice match against Richmond.


The defender has resumed full training this week and is available for Opening Round.


Other updates:


Joel Cochran



Joel Cochran suffered a knock to his ribs in training and has had a slight delay in his return to play as he recovers from illness over the weekend.


The new recruit will need to undergo a full week of training before returning to footy, meaning the defender will not be available for this weekend’s VFL match.


Mason Cox


Mason Cox is progressing well in his recovery following a finger fracture.


The ruck has maintained his gym and running loads over the past two weeks and is close to a return to full training.


The 33-year-old will need to tick off some boxes to be available for Round One.


Jordan De Goey


Jordan De Goey will not be available for this week’s Opening Round clash against the GWS GIANTS.


De Goey experienced a setback in pre-season (knee bruising) that required a de-load period.


The midfielder has completed a three-week period of full team and contact training. The 28-year-old is expected to be available in Rounds One or Two.


Tom Mitchell


Tom Mitchell is progressing well as he recovers from a bone stress injury in his foot.


The 31-year-old returned to full training two weeks ago, with a focus on building his loads and conditioning.


The Club will continue to assess the midfielders progress before determining a return timeframe.


Iliro Smit


Illiro Smit is progressing well after he suffered a direct knock to the throat during training about a month ago, causing a fracture to his larynx.


The 19-year-old has been introduced to non-contact drills and will remain in a modified training program for the next two to three weeks.


Oscar Steene


Oscar Steene fractured his finger during training last week.


The ruck will be limited during the early rounds of the season as he spends three weeks in a splint and non-contact training.


Harvey Harrison


Harvey Harrison continues to work on his individual rehab program in the gym and on the field as he returns from the ACL surgery he had last year.

Tbf, there's really only 1 ruckman on that list we'd be selecting.

We'd pick Frampton before Steene or Smit.
Smit’s injury is unfortunate. I still think he will get AFL games this year.

Just saw Oscar. He says he has a small fracture in his hand. Just a couple weeks out.

It's an unwritten law that Collingwood's VFL team must have no players over 183 cm every year for large portions of the season! Three of our four ruckmen out injured before a ball is bounced in anger.
