[hellas_johnny]

Corr is out for 3-4 weeks so it'll be either Dawsonx2 or Whitlock. Trembath if he had done vfl form could have been the perfect option aswell

I wonder why Trembath didn't play VFL last week? Are we still hiding him?

Play him next week with the dodgy shoulder

Would still do better than pink or Dawson

At least hes likely back the week after if not

You are nothing if not consistently ridiculous

He's a chance to return if he pulls up ok from training.

In better news, intercepting defender Charlie Comben is nearing a return to play, having made significant strides over the past week.

"Charlie completed a strong footy function session on-ground on Tuesday as a bridge to return to group training Thursday," White said.

"We'll assess Charlie's ability to play this week after training on Thursday."

Tough bugger is Charlie.

One undeniably powerful advantage that Toby has over the rest of our defenders - he’s able to get on the park!

Shocked to see this. Saw him at the game on the weekend walking between aisles with arm still fully in a shoulder sling. Great news but gees that’s a crazy turn around!

Side note on Charlie, at the training at East Freo left with my boy (2.5 year old toddler) as the boys were coming off to sign autographs. We watched as they came off as my little fella was obsessed and a few players got through, but had to make a move as it was close to an hour trip for us. As we were leaving through to the ramp out, the boys that got through were exiting the back door changeroom opposite where the fans were. 3 of the boys that came out were bee-lining for the car park. Charlie came out with them, all slinged-up and just broke conversation with the other boys and beelined 20m to my boy(who was fully decked out) and made the biggest fuss of my lad. Gave him knuckles and hi fives, signed my fellas ball and chatted to me for a good few minutes while no one else was around.

Gem of a fella, and my boy hasn’t put the footy down for the last week and a half. Champion.

Thread title needs an update a chance for this week

Get him in for Dawson

I hope so but I reckon they will give him another week to recover.

Jab him up and play him

Jab him up and play him

Hearing him talk on his podcast it sounds like he’s trying to get up but he admits it’s a long shot.

Sounded quietly confident to me

 

[amaz199]

How times have changed.

Writing him off as a CHB two months ago now I'm biting my nails hoping he plays.

Tough as nails

Hoping like hell he makes it through.

Doesn't appear the toughest of kids, but is.
