Very encouraging, that 3 players will be tested this week, and 3 are only a week away. Will be great to see Armfield get back out there. Really think we might have found ourselves a pretty good player here.

We really needed another injury update on the one earlier this week.

In the Bullants match wrap by David Teague on the CFC site he says that Benjamin will play next game (ie after the Bullants have the bye this weekend). As will Houla, Armo and Hadley.

What about bower? Any word on how he will come back? Straight in I hope. We miss him.

Yes. Played in the VFL reserves last week.

Great to see some good players coming back, would love to put up a good show against Hawthorn at the end of the year.

Nah there was no mention of Bower. I think i saw somewhere that he's a week or so behind the others.

I heard Ratts on SEN early this morning and he was specifically asked about Walker's shoulder and he said it was just bruising and he should get up for this weekends game

He also commented on Carlos and said he wasn't "dropped" as such against the Saints but he had a calf injury. They thought it was best to let him run around with the Ants, however he struggled to run out the game and came off injured.

Also mentioned that Hartlett will be played again this week despite not really getting into the game on Sunday. Ratts said that they need to try him to see if he can fill the spot at CHF.

Last but not least he was asked about Waite and where he is best suited to play. Ratts said he wishes he had two Waitey's to play one at CHF and the other at CHB but Waite's running game best suits CHB at this stage and that is where he will play.
