How do you know?

On insta he has a photo with a newborn, his nephew. Maybe a mix up

 

[avishka5]

It is mentioned in the injury report. He is over in NT for the birth of his child.

Good to see he has got in and under, even before he laces up for us.

 

[KamakazeSalami]

Cole (quad) 1-2 weeks
Allen (hamstring) 3-4 weeks
Rioli (hamstring) 5-6 weeks
Waterman (foot) 8-10 weeks
Lycett (shoulder) 8-10 weeks
Tunbridge (knee) Mid-late 2017 season
Naitanui (knee) Late 2017 season

Cole? WTF?

Young dad is Willie. Good for him.

 

[KamakazeSalami]

No idea when Cole did his quad. Bear in mind he was named in the round 1 EP side but didn't play against Peel

Naitanui and Lycett have both been placed on the LTI as of today per this article

Not an encouraging sign for Lycett

Correct me if I'm wrong but 8 weeks is the LTI requirement right? They've said it's going to be 8-10 weeks so by putting him on early, it means they'll have the flexibility of a main list spot for an additional rookie upgrade if required AND if Slyce recovers well and is able to come back in the expected timeframe he won't have to sit on the LTI list for longer than he needs to. I think it makes the best out of a bad situation.

 

[KamakazeSalami]

Yeah I'm throbbing.

When aren't you?

 

[avishka5]

When aren't you?

now.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

If Rioli had progressed as originally reported he'd now be 3-5 weeks

I just don't believe our medicos and the injury report timeframes. I mean I realise its not an exact science but our guys have been absolute shite at giving this any sort of importance and getting it right. They seem to treat it with contempt. Either that or they're pretty f***** useless.

Willie is now a father.

Get a 100 games into him stat!

Good use of Willie that.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Tweeted the club immediately after the injury list was released asking if there was any word on Bayok. Reckon I'll get a response?

You should be surprised if she actually does tweet you back.

Could Watson be a smokey for round 1?

 

[Chris_6678]

Could Watson be a smokey for round 1?

Who does he displace though?

 

[Keys]

Could Watson be a smokey for round 1?

I don't think so, not for round one

Definitely a chance later in the season if his form holds and he tidies up his disposal a bit

 

[Beutbrute]

Wellingham moving further up the ground (replacing Hutchings/Masten/Sheed/Jetta etc) could create a spot

Or the current Nelson/Butler position. Plenty of pressure on that spot if Cole can get back up and running too.

Also McInnes is providing token pressure to JKs spot at full forward.

What I meant was Nelson and Butler fighting it out is creating plenty of competition for that spot already, if Watto and Cole get up and running, whoever the incumbent is will have up to three players breathing down their neck. Can only be a good thing.

Yeah it would be devastating.

IF WE COULD ACTUALLY SEE WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO!

Much better.

We're apparently not meant to have a ruckman this season.

Imagine if our 2017 premiership ruck duo were Giles and Vardy.
