There's been talk the champion could return this week.

I dont like it, even though we'll be thin in the forward line with Neita and Miller both out, we shouldn't rush one of our best players back so soon after popping his shoulder out.

What do you all think?

he should play! he knows better than anyone how his injury is!

Rest him in the forward line and let him kick a lazy bag of 8 goals

He was in the media today and says he is 60/40 of playing

in an interview with Yze he said that there is a good chance he could come back

my guess he will play out of the goal square with dutchy

with Robbo then at CHF and Davey floating around and others chipping i think we will be able to kick a winning score

the key will be Whelan stopping Williams

If he does play he would be in the forward line out of the square with Yze.

If he is 60/40 he should wait a week.
If he is 90/10 he should wait a week.

Bottom line is we don't want a repeat injury, better to miss 1 match now than 8 more later.

i think what he meant was a 60/40 chance of being 100% by this weekend

Cameron Bruce... have you met Campbell Brown and Luke Hodge? ;)

Given how you've gone without him, you'd be crazy to risk further injury. Unless he's 100% I don't reckon you'll play him, despite Neitz and Miller being out. If he gets injured again, you're season could be shot.

I jumped on his Brownlow odds this week since he is out to $23 but will have polled somewhere between 7-9 votes in the first three weeks. ;)

The Test will come on Friday, but not holding my breath. I liked how ND made some fun at brad miller after saying he was going to be the Tester on his shoulder.

I think he is the Dees Best Playmaker, and has been missed in the last couple of weeks. If he is right to go and the Doc says so as well, bring him on!!

i love the way hawks fans think hodge, brown and vandenburg are tough.

it's hilarious. I'm just annoyed we don't have miller and neitz available, but beamer will show them a thing or two I'm sure. hopefully Colin Sylvia injures Hodge for a lengthy period too.

hawks suck.

Would you like this comment back? Would you have the courage to tell Luke Hodge that you hoped he was seriously injured to his face? Typical keyboard pecking coward.
