Surely he won't get up. The hit was brutal.
Even if he does somehow play, Darcy/Lobb isn't exactly the most imposing ruck duo, particularly with Nic's minutes increasing

Isn't he already in the side?!?!?
In theory.
His minutes were low in the last game again. Played about 66% TOG from memory. He is surely capable of 75% TOG.
Yep this.
No way he gets up with his history of hamstrings.
Give him the extra week and be fit and firing for the Pies.
From memory he was also banged up after the GC game so an extra week = prime Shuey.

We are in average form and have just beaten what I regard as the bottom 2 teams in the comp, even with injuries Freo are on the improve, we need to lift to another level to win this one and the next 2 which will be against flag contenders. I'm confident we can do it though.
Agreed. Put the time into him now, he’s easily our most promising small forward and we need to replace Rioli.
Re. This weeks game: Having a hard time working out whether the uneasy feeling in my gut about this week is just standard Derby nerves or they are actually going to s**t the bed and lose another one they should win.
After watching the Dockers last week they played 1 quarter of crap and 3 quarters of champagne. Getting the win means injuries or not they will be up for it this week. We haven't been convincing all year this is a dangerous game and we need to lift again to another level to win the next 3 weeks.
I certainly don't expect to see this happen, especially with the sentiment of Kennedy's 250th looming, but I believe there is merit to the following changes:
In: Shuey, Jetta
Out: Ainsworth, Kennedy
If Shuey is fit, he plays. Not much Ainsworth can do about that, as he held his own against the Crows. If Shuey is unable to recover in time, let Ainsworth keep his place.
However, I am tiring of seeing Kennedy being led to the ball by his opponent - it's almost to the point where the opposition is gaining an additional spare in defence in the way they are able to get in front with such ease to intercept or impact upon another contest that Kennedy is unable to get himself to. He is a legend of the club but he is currently a liability to the operation of the forward line.
Could there be a place for Jetta to make a return in the forward half of the ground? With the congestion of the press, his quality of disposal and ability to find space through traffic could be damaging. His availability also provides a handy rotational option if the club wants to roll a spare into defence at the end of quarters.

Eh Hackdorn saying a few WC players may have breached protocols over in Queensland.
He wont say who but i can only guess it might be about something some players did last week outside of queensland. Im referring to a video the club released with some players last week.

As quick to the joke as Brayshaw is off the markBrayshaw joke.

Surely they got that ticked off first. Surely.
This reminds me of that training video in May that apparently showed them breaching the rules by having too many training at once. Turns out it didn't. I assume this might be the same.
What is the video in question?
That is the one i was referring too.
Lol - as if the AFL is going to go anywhere near that, would open a massive can of worms.
Hopefully it's just a storm in a tea cup similar to the Oscar Allen interview.
Would really suck if we lost Kelly, Cameron, Ryan for a period of time just as we got back to WA
Think they will be fine to be honest.
Wouldn't be surprised if hagdorn saw that video and made it up to stir the pot.
He back peddled somewhat saying not much will happen and it wont be talked about publicly.
I would love to see them try and say that video was anything but good, even with covid.

on Fyfe fitness ... a corked shin yesterday .... he says today his hammy isn’t great today ... they say moved forward last quarter was a plan not a forced move. Back to the old days of guesswork.
