Unfortunately for he may have to be squeezed out after the bye if/when Francis is ready.

Francis is miles off being ready to play in defence at AFL level. If he does get promoted in the foreseeable future he will play forward.

Really building as a player I wouldn't be surprised to see him go up another level or two this season .

Was a bit restricted in a few one-on-ones watching the replay. Was that his calf issue?

I hope not as I think he'd be a great matchup for Caddy.

He's nobody's caddy

I think Dea would be great head to head with Caddy. Hooker on Moore and Hurley on Riewoldt if he plays, if not playing the intercept role

Ambrose will miss this week with a calf injury

 

[eth-dog]

Looking at Crow's comments it seems he'll miss 3 weeks before returning against Box Hill, due to the Thursday Night match for that round and the Box Hill match being on the Sunday.

When did he do this? At training or during the game?

Sounds like he played through the discomfort on Saturday.

Wow, so now we lose him for a month. What a real shame for the bloke.

The chances for Redman and Francis only increase I guess.

Might explain why he his distance covered was well down and why he was often lagging behind Cameron.

Hurley is a lock i would have thought.

 

[Knox Harrington]

A real shame to see.
Love Ambrose and his fitness and discipline are a great example for the other players.
Hope he gets back on the park soon

 

[eth-dog]

It kinda sucks that in the past 2 years he's been a genuinely good defender and he can't stay on the park but prior to that he had absolutely no injury troubles.

Reliable all day down back today.

Surprised how well he went yesterday. Rarely beaten and just got the job done today.

Not sure why you'd be surprised if you've seen him play at all in the last 2 and a bit years. Been consistent when fit.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Dea keeping him out.

 

[blitzer]

Dea keeping him out.

Dea keeping his spot warm you mean.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Ambrose is a star, you guys need to get onboard.

 

[DERO]

Dea keeping him out.

Dea has been solid, Ambrose has been injured!

 

[eth-dog]

Right now Ambrose is best 22 and I'd love to play him against North, but the defence has been rock solid recently. Can honestly see him not playing until Gold Coast or even Freo.

 

[Maddogm]

It might be a case of if Ambrose is ready to go, then he takes Dea's spot. If he needs more conditioning, then we'd be happy to leave Dea in.
