If Preuss is injured but Gawn is fit, I guess Gawn can just about cover the loss of Preuss...

Definitely annoyed. Possibly even annoyance awareness.

Low grade annoyance?

Tightness sin his annoyance?

My diagnosis is a mild case of exasperation.

Grumpy Gary Baker avatar tells me he will be fine to play.

And that is is his constant state

Anyone know if Austin Bradtke played in the scratch match vs Pies?

I believe he has been playing but I can’t see them playing him

Is that a metaphysical riddle? 

The Dees ruckman, who played his first game of the season last weekend, is expected to recover in time for the clash with the Western Bulldogs, but will be monitored throughout the next few days.

Max Gawn is also set to face a fitness test in the lead up to Round 13, hoping to return from a knee injury.

An earlier twitter post by Ayrton Woolley:

Scans later today for Braydon Preuss. A “tweak” of hip/groin according to club. Not ruled out just yet, but he didn’t look happy.

Dees positive on Gawn progress after big running session. @9NewsMelb

 

Doesn't sound like it is wrist slashing time!

If nothing else it will keep bulldogs guessing.

sounds like something a pre game injection should fix if necessary

Not sure having no ruck is such a bad thing for this Saturday. Forecast up here is for 45k winds Saturday. It will be worse than a wet day with ball on ground most of time.

Yep.  The winds started here around lunch time, and are forecast to get stronger each day from now until Saturday, when they are forecast to be the strongest all year!  Just got my tickets.  Might have to take an anchor to hold me to my seat!

i hate wind games......hope the forecast is wrong

I reckon, if Gawn, Preuss, and Tim English are out of the game, Dees and The Bullies should nominate Daniel and Spargo as the ruckmen

Seems odd to me, the fuss made about Collingwood's 4 games in 14 days.

It was also our fourth game in 16 days and fifth game in 20 days.

And the fact that Geelong flogged St Kilda on a Monday and backed it up with another flogging over Port on the Friday.

Geelong has ruined that excuse for everyone now.

Mitch Brown, come on down!

Can't play ruck or key position forward if they were to use Tommy. Brown is a very tall HFF.

Have to remember that Hannan wasn’t dropped, he was out due to illness 

He was good against North and I think he’ll return for Sparrow or possibly Kozzy

Jon Ralph indicated he would've been dropped regardless of being ill.

We finally start to get on a roll and lose all our rucks.  We are the Shakespearean tragedy that never ends.

Let’s hope it’s much ado about nothing
