Maybe McGovern to replace Nelson.

Hutch to replace Sheed.

Scooter in as sub.

Nelson and Barrass could travel as emergencies.

Surely they are flying soon though? You'd think we'd take 24.

Good pick up.

If it is a fracture it will be a 2 weeks and 3 weeks at the most.
I hope you are right. Apparently Simpson said 1-2 weeks.

But I have lost all confidence in the club to give any accurate assessment of when a player might return from injury, so it may as well be 1-20 weeks.

I even hate, in a different way, that it took the club 5 days to come out and say he had broken his hand. They did it at the latest possible time (Sheed's absence at the airport would have been noticed), despite knowing days earlier.

I know all clubs partake in a bit of posturing/cloak and daggers when it comes to the fitness of players, but I think our club takes it to the extreme. I'm not sure they get much if any benefit out of leaving injury announcements/player returns until the last possible minute. They are entitled to do it, and maybe I am jumping at shadows a bit, but it annoys the f&^k out of me.

Dunno why we have to bring in Selwood really, give him the extra week to make sure he is 100% ready to go, we've been doing fine without him. Hutchings to stay sub and Colledge in for Sheed - give him a chance to prove himself, he'll be like a new debutant (never get tired of debuts) and if, like many people believe, he is not an AFL standard player this will prove it. Or he could get 37 possesions and 4 goals, in which case we'll have yet another new player worthy of a spot in the 22.

Selwood for sub given no WAFL.

Nelson and Hutchings (Red Vest) to start.

Gov will come in for someone we never knew was injured.
