Hogan will play. 

If he came up after 5 days and also played out the game. 

Trac is only 7 days post his last game, so hopefully he comes up.

Lucky we have a bye at VFL level .. might have had difficulty fielding a team and thus needed some Demonlanders to pull on the boots.

Unlikely with his injury. As stated could have lost his finger.  The injury was very serious.

Gold Coast co-captain Tom Lynch is out for a month, and Christian Petracca has undergone more surgery – full updates on #AFL360 tonight @FOXFOOTY

 

 

MORE SURGERY???

i recall reading of a finger dog bite that when not treated, bruised the entire vein in arm as it got into blood stream. Could've been deadly if not treated immediately. Not an injury to be messed with.

I think they’ll err on the side of caution and give him the extra week.  A lot will depend on the damage that the infection did.  

Infections are amazing with the speed in which they set in and the speed with which they can respond to treatment.  The infection would be gone by now, so it comes down to healing and recovery from it’s effects.

Feel sorry for Salem, every time he gets some form he cops an injury

Not sure my 1991 Manangatang 3rds form will carry over - 2.2 last game from Fwd pocket knocked out 3 times by big scary under 16s, BOG ?. Please advise 

 

(I can run all day though imitating a headless chook so should fit in with ANB?)

He still has 5 days, if can get a full training session under his belt he should be ok.

When first hearing this I accused young Petracca of being negligent in the sense of his failure to notify club doctors etc.

For that I apologise as it would seem to be untrue.

Good luck young man... infections kill .... lucky it was caught.

Football is only a game or at best your profession. Health and family are so much more important.

The real reason he missed the Essendon game.   Hes a very busy man.
