Love to have Hall back ASAP
But - With a hammy injury I reckon it’s best to give it an extra week from when you think that it’s ready .
Especially with Hall and recent hamstring injuries….

Double especially if you're over 30.

Key defensive cover will return for the Kangaroos this weekend, with Ben McKay having served his suspension and with Aidan Corr having overcome an illness that has kept him sidelined. They will likely replace last week's debutant Miller Bergman, who hurt his shoulder in the opening stages of his first game, and medical sub Atu Bosenavulagi. The side will need to decide who will come in for the suspended Nick Larkey, with Charlie Comben firming as the most like-for-like replacement having overcome minor knee soreness last week. David Noble could opt for a smaller approach, though Eddie Ford is injured. Charlie Lazzaro might be the option, should the side head in that direction. The experienced Jed Anderson is a chance return to bolster a young midfield group. He could perhaps replace Flynn Perez on a wing, with either Curtis Taylor or Bailey Scott heading into a sub role for the trip to face the Dockers. Expect both Tom Powell and Will Phillips to get an extended run of football in the VFL before coming back into contention.

(replaced Miller Bergman)

Verdict: McKay, Corr, Comben and Anderson to replace Bergman, Bosenavulagi, Larkey and Perez. Either Taylor or Scott to file the role as sub. – Riley Beveridge

The Dockers will be forced into changes for Friday's game with North Melbourne with Blake Acres, Travis Colyer and Rory Lobb all entering health and safety protocols. The club has put in place a raft of restrictions to ensure there's no more outs, but watch this space. Sean Darcy should return after concussion and replace Lobb in a ruck/forward role alongside Lloyd Meek. Defenders Hayden Young and Heath Chapman are both available after their stints in health and safety protocols, which would see James Aish

shuffle from the backline to Acres' wing. Griffin Logue could be the unlucky defender to make way given his size. Perennial medi-sub Bailey Banfield looms as Colyer's replacement but Sam Sturt is putting on pressure after three goals in the WAFL. Top 10 draft pick Jye Amiss has kicked eight goals in the past two WAFL games and may be considered for Matt Taberner's role, which Josh Treacy occupied last week, but Fremantle are wary of blooding him too early.

Verdict: Darcy, Chapman, Young and Banfield for Lobb, Acres, Logue and Colyer. – Ben Somerford

[The Filth Wizard]

I don't mind the Dockers and have no issue with them pushing into the 8 this year. This will get sold as North vs the brave undermanned Dockers but I reckon quietly they're stoked to get as much covid out of the way against us at home.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Their ins are stronger than their outs

They aren’t undermanned, their side which was worse last week beat the cats away

 

[shintemaster]

Hall is pushing to play next week against Port.

Giantroo with a more consistent straight bat than a dour 80's test match.

The problem with getting COVID out of the way is that it doesn't. At best it might buy them a few months of reduced risk however with constantly changing variants there is no guarantee of lasting immunity - the reality is that every time a player gets COVID they increase the risk of an adverse response.

At best they'd be happier it happened against a bottom team.

 

[leighlee13]

Hall is pushing to play next week against Port.

Surely Ben's first game back will be a home game in Melbourne not Tassie (no offence to Tassie intended).

Yeah, I don't think Ben is playing anytime soon. Small steps with Ben.

Taylor, Scott out? Laz in Yeah nah.

 

[Skarrz]

Doesn’t want to hurt any of his 2023 team mates, what a good bloke

 

[rooboy335]

Stolen, but worth posting...

How about these gems:

• "That's gold class!"
• "In position 1A"

My god the standard of some of the current most popular commentators absolutely sh!ts me!

 

[The Nostradamus]

Jye Amiss confirmed debuting

Thought maybe they would just bring Darcy in for Lobb and keep meek but probably Darcy in for meek then

Or maybe treacy dropped as he only had 5 touches

Meek and frederick out with covid too. That's two more fwd spaces to fill. Amiss confirmed for one, sturt likely the other.

 

[giantroo]

 

[Twinkletoes]

Frederick’s a loss for sure, as are Logue, Acres, Lobb and Colyer. It’s a pity we won’t be near our own best lineup but these outs will certainly increase our self belief.

 

[Makeshift Park]

How many more need to contract the spicy cough before we’re level pegging?

Maybe Pearce, Ryan and Brayshaw?

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

Another week of the opposition calling it a "danger game" to soften the blow if they lose.
