The Fillopovic reason is truly bizarre.. rest him for 2 works of not playing on the assumption that hes on a low base? Yet hes had a full pre season??

Brilliant.  We have to beat the Saints this week.. we can then get on a huge roll with gun players coming back and hopefully at or close to full strength.

[spirit of norm smith 16,617]

11 players mentioned as injured (weeks)  provided Petracca is back and Hogan is okay. 

Of the 11, really only Viney and Salem out of our best 22.  Hoping they are only 2 weeks away and we can setup for a big run of wins.

Viney said it himself on FoxFooty, which is the quote Morris based it off.

viney targetting gc17 match-up as his comeback games, does NOT want to suit up for casey: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/jack-viney-desperate-to-return-from-foot-injury-via-afl-not-the-vfl/news-story/7d00b30c5c5f6ce23b758eb35fdf591e

[Young Blood 2,639]

Don't know where he says he unequivocally does NOT want to play VFL, but I am sure that is the case and fair enough.

Will probably still play VFL i reckon

Obviously very good news to hear he isn't far off.  But i caution anyone who thinks he will return as the Viney we all know launching us even further ahead on ladder etc, at least in his first 3 to 5 matches.

Most players usually have an average return to the game (vs their usual standards) when coming off a very interrupted pre-season (or none at all) and tend to have some up and down results during the remainder of their season.  After such a long lay off i can't see this being any different for Jack (albeit his main game is a rung above most, so lessor results should still be pretty damn good).

Will be a great day when he finally runs out!  Then there's the effect on team moral.  Now that might have a substantial impact even if Jack is having some ups and downs so you might get the outcome you are hoping for Petracc!

In and of itself that doesn't mean much.

Fair enough.

We currently have 5 top 22 players on the injury list while the Saints have 2.

Too bad theres no training thread this week, would love to know how JV is looking.  Cant wait to see him back out there cracking opposition skulls and tearing games apart.
