Absolutely makes sense.  He is spent. Can barely raise a trot.  I reckon he's carrying an injury too.

So Mason Cox in the Ruck then????

Yeah he’s been poor recently and just laboring around the ground with minimal impact most weeks. Good time to manage him knowing no Gawn to compete against.

I hope he plays Pendlebury because he will tear his quad again, worst injury to overcome just ask Jonesy.

Took him 6-8 weeks to recover.

    Collingwood forum thinks they may lose Brayden Sier to a knee injury.  No idea if hes any good but he has played the last 3 games for them.

    Ffs. Can’t Pendlebury have a few more days off 

    It could be arranged after the first bounce during the game - creating one man missing on the Filth bench. Have a quiet word to AVB or even May or perhaps, Viney. ?

    Sounds like Pendles will play this weekend.

    Just our luck of course.

    Don't be so sure. Have a Pies mate who is usually on the pulse and he said the Pendles injury is pretty bad.

    I reckon AVB might say G'day to him a few times in the first Q (if he plays)

    They have a huge number of injuries and sore players.

    Its a great chance to beat them. If we don't them frankly we're cooked anyway

    Being a traditional Saturday fixture, will teams be announced today? Or has that all gone out the window this season? I find it hard to keep up.

    AFL Fantasy podcast said all teams will be announced the night before the match at 6:20pm for the rest of the season.

    He's going to be underdone even if he does get up

    Buckley said earlier in the week that he was a chance to play, but hoped he would be right for the following week.

    To me that sounds like he is not playing.

    Roughead should be out after the head knock.  

    Lynden Dunn could play 2 games in 4 days, after 2 years out injured.


    If Dunny plays whoever is on him needs to run him all over the field, unless looks are deceiving in his current condition it looks like he'd blow up in 10 mins

    Very disappointing, he's been very good for us. His ground level stuff is amazing for a big man. Hope he's just nicked it.

    [censored] news if true. Really buggers up our structure and forces TMac to be number 1 ruckman. Unless they're willing to bring Pruess in ofcourse...

    Disaster. There goes the forwardline structure and the ability to pinch hit in the ruck.

    The flow on effects are massive. Now if Tom rucks, we'll be down to 1 KPF, which we know doesn't work.

    Is Preuss ready/fit enough? He has to come in now and unfortunately Tom will have to take KPF spot. Already a far weaker team.

    Hoping Tom Browne is wrong. Also hoping it's a short term hammy.


    We have worked LJ pretty hard with 3 games in 2.5 weeks games with two lots of 4 day breaks so not really  a surprise. 

    I suspect he won't be the last.

    The policy of not resting players is catching up with us.

    Could we potentially bring OMac back in, play Tomlinson as main ruck, TMac to ruck in forward half and relieve?

    Preuss has apparently only played 1 scratch match so not sure on match fitness.

    on top of that preuss has always struggled to play out 4 qtrs even when fit (though shorter game would suit him)

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
