From the MFC site, he's still a week away.

On the other hand, both Garland (!!) and Bartram could be considered if they pass fitness tests.

Whatever happens, the assumption would be that all 3 (Tappy, Garland, Bartram) will be available for the following week against Freo, with Jamar and Bail possibles for the week after that against Richmond.

Not too shabby ... as long as we don't lose any more.

Garland?! It's 2-3 everywhere I can see...

Not too shabby

I think we're easily pleased

by my count we have 6 of our best 22 out this week, plus 2 more that may not play and if they do they won't be 'cherry'.. replacing them are a bunch of 3-or-less-gamers

that's pretty awful really, their outs are big but ours as just as big if not bigger

It does mention Garland here Several players seem to be getting close to being back in the mix. With Sylvia in the mix, Garland progressing well and Bartram, Tapscott close. Those are names that are good to see back on the team list.

I would personally like to see Tapscott return and play up forward. He was drafted as a forward and was likened to a Chapman type player.

Now with Nicholson and Strauss looking likely types down back (with great disposal) I would love to see what Tapscott can do up forward. Thoughts?

I think it's too early to be making a call on Nicholson and Strauss.

However, I would also like to see what Tapscott could do further up the ground.

Garland?! It's 2-3 everywhere I can see...

As per link above:

"Defender Colin Garland is not without a chance of returning this round, after injuring his ankle in round eight.

Garland was set to miss a greater time period, but has progressed better than expected in his recovery."

"Dick who may come in, Davis who may go forward." (Pipefitter)

That's one occasion I'd give Leon the benefit of the doubt and pay the free for manhandling.
