If we were playing anyone else i would suggest bringing in Steiny (probs leading the B&F at CHB in VFL) and swinging Hurls forward.
However against the Swans, who'll will have Tippett in by then it seems, this would mean Steiny vs. Franklin.
The prospect of that does not excite.

if the club is saying 3 weeks.. we will be lucky to see him again this year!

But IF it all goes right that he might only miss the Swans game and then have a good run at it before the finals. Still will be able to do fitness work and shouldn't lose too much strength (LOL) and conditioning...

Tough injury.. but we are doing ok on that front this year.. compared to some...

How amazing would it be if Steinberg debuted and absolutely smashed Buddy.
It's frustrating. If it was anyone besides Sydney you'd take the punt on Hurley going forward and Steinberg or Pears playing down back and holding their own. But even though Buddy will probably get the best of Hurley, god knows what he could do to Pears or an inexperienced Steinberg.

Maybe we will get lucky and he will get a one match ban during his match against the hawks lol.

lol! What about that that Tagliabue in the 2's?? 30 hit outs on weekend...anyone catch a glimpse of him?
He's VFL listed
Do they bring in Pears, Hardingham or Stienberg to replace him?
I'd go Steiny, play him back so Hooker can just follow Tippett into the ruck to give Paddy a chop out
