Keidean here with a big bandage on his knee fwiw.

Didn't seem to be favouring it, it might be precautionary

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Pay the mark ump ffs

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Ump just paid us a mark from a very touched ball, I guess that's the payback

 

[Nathan Barley]

McCarthy very much like his brother with that leap

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

HERE WE COME

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Reville very busy in the second half

 

[Nathan Barley]

Southport playing a bit like our seniors this season. Getting a gap but not putting away the opponent.

Can we do a Melbourne or an Adelaide or a GWS?

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Gilder and Ryan both risen from their deathbeds to help us out here

Reserves have done this a fair bit this year

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Need another one quick

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Might be the sealer

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Meh, oh well

 

[Nathan Barley]

Run out of steam in the last

Tunstill amazing but that’s about it

and Lloyd quite good as well

Heart-warming to see Preston get up today in Sydney.

Thought Torren was ok. Seems to have developed his shape and is abit more athletic.

What’s the story on Gilder? Over ager still in the academy?

 

[pod17]

No Doedee again? Did he not overcome the concussion from a couple of weeks back?

Kept out for another week as a precaution. His lack of consistent week-to-week footy is going to make it very difficult to get into the side even if a spot becomes available. Same for Kiddy. That's a lot of talent to keep in the sheds

 

[Mr Ripper]

Keidean and Henry along with Shadeau, Doedee and Gus McFadyen, all back on deck this week.

Kinda feels like its next year for both of them. Payne could be out for a while into the season and Froggy will be 33, and Zork will be 37.

Clearly both have a spot in the team in the future (Kiddy more so than Doedee) but hard to see how they could get in barring further injuries this year.

And Ty

 

[Nathan Barley]

They've got a good stretch of uninterrupted games to put their case forward for senior selection before the end of the season

Speaking of Gus, here's a nice little grab he took playing for Grange over bye weekend. Thanks for sharing, Kev!

Cobbled together a snippet from the youtube stream of yesterdays game at Hickey Park. A fun grab taken in front of goal:

I think it's McFadyen.

From the latest injury report -

“While ruckman Oscar McInerney could also be considered for an AFL return having played several VFL matches in the last month and being rested last week.”

I thought Oscar had only played 1 game in the VFL?
Or did I miss something there?

Played against Geelong and GWS before he was rested against Southport last week. 'Several' is pushing it
