Will miss Grimes significantly, but it now gives the likes of Kyle Cheney to have a red hot crack. Take the game on, son!!!

Good to hear that Junior will only miss the Dons game and should fly up to Perth the following week - we'll need him there!

It's a real shame in losing Grimes as soon as we play the Dons... he'd have a day out against that morbid mob.

but it now gives the likes of Kyle Cheney to have a red hot crack.

No pun intended?

Nothing about Sylvia?

Nothing about Sylvia?

Colin played in the VFL last week kicking 3 goals

Great to see that Aussie's injury is nothing significant.

Tommy Mac still in the black hole.

Based on that, one forced change seems obvious. Sylvia for Grimes.

It would appear Bail, Morton and Jurrah are also close to recalls

I wouldn't be against giving Scull a spell or a run in the magoos. Thought needs to be given to Spencer too, is he worth carrying against a fleet footed Essendon minus David Hille?

Bringing in all 4 at once is probably overkill but adding the names Jurrah, Sylvia, Morton and Bail make for a far more attacking side.
