It's a bit short on reality at this point in time.

What's up with Bartram? Considering him for my DT - will he be sighted before round 1?

And how goes Mclean?

Not sure about Bartram but hopefully he gets in 1 practice match before the season starts...

McLean will be right to play this week

I wouldn't be picking up Bartram for DT, even if he does get a game, he was never a high pos getter. If Petterd is cheap I'd snap him up in a second, 1st year player ave 15 pos a game. Apart from him, the more expensive Dees, probably Jones and Bruce would be my picks. Remember that the Dees as a team don't win alot of ball, so I wouldn't be keen to load up on us. Wlidcard could be Lynden Dunn. He'll be ready for a big one we all suspect.

Yes - but given he got 25 in his 1 game in 2008, he is going to be dirt cheap. fanfooty has him at about 20k higher than a first year player - and given if fit, he's likely to play most games, will be good insurance to have on the bench.

Good on you for looking out for Bartram, but he's just too injury prone.

Hows Cam bruce coming along?

Hows Cam bruce coming along?

He won't play this week(Friday VS Richmond)......he should be ready for the next match but he won't play unless he is 100%

 

[Colin D'Cops]

How's Ricky Petterd coming along guys ??

 

[melbourne150]

How's Ricky Petterd coming along guys ??

He's named in the team to play richmond so i guess he's fully fit and injury free

Finally an update on our players, most look set to return this week. Rivers is 50/50 for round 1, while wheels is struggling.

So barring injuries from now till round 1 we should have a full list bar 2 players wheelan/rivers to choose from.

Id like us not to take any chances with bringing wrecker back early and instead put him on the long term injury list and elevate valenti.

If Bailey stands by playing only our guys that are 100% fit then it will probably take at least 6 weeks to see him out on the field anyways

This might be a dumb question but how long does a player have to remain on the long term injury list for? Is there a minimum requirement?

 

[eliasd82]

I think its something like 7 or 8 weeks...isn't it?

Thats a strange one, not sure if many knew about it, but its good to see most of our guys are going well, and some might not be 100% by round one but it beats having them missing large chunks of the season before it has even started.

 

[CaptainDavey]

I hate that word groin. It's the pinnacle of all things bad in this game

 

[melbourne150]

Didn't Connolly say(on SEN) that Grimes is close to joining in on full training? and that we were just being extra carefull with him?

I know that at training he does alot of running so that's a good sign

but i don't thibnk he does alot of kicking....

 

[Deenamite]

So we could possibly have a full strength side in against Hawthorn barring injury in the remaining practice game? Wow.

 

[Deenamite]

No we can't. Master did a serious hamstring injury. (Herald Sun source.)

And Robbo will probably cop a 1 week suspension. Maybe a reprimand, maybe 2 weeks. Who knows?
