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.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,708]

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.

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

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.

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.

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)

[jnrmac 20,185]

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

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

Pressure points is good. Getting the footy and effective kicking is better

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.

[sisso 2,580]

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

Uhoh.....

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.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,839]

Mitch Brown’s time to shine.

[Lucifers Hero 40,359]

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)
