That collision was huge. Three players smashed into each other. I was amazed watching live that they all got up.

That's [censored] for petty.

Petty collided with teammate Tom Sparrow in the final minutes of Monday night’s Anzac Day Eve game.

Thanks SONS, I completely missed that.

A real shame that, but maybe his banged up ribs could use a week off.

That is obviously incorrect or outdated. 
934 games missing is far too many with Salo ( not sure but about 150 games in 9/10 seasons having most. There is only about 5 on the list also so would be about 300 inc. Spargy's approx 50/ 60/70 games ?). 

Not the worse and sounds like Petty should be right. 
 

Fingers crossed Salem has no more setbacks and also fingers crossed Dunstan’s injury is minor. 

Gutted for Dunstan if that is any more than short-term. 😌

 

Injury List: Round 8

Charlie Spargo - Concussion | Available 
Harry Petty - Concussion | Test
Josh Schache - Wrist | Test
Luke Dunstan - Knee | TBC 
Christian Salem - Knee | 1 - 2 Weeks
Kye Turner - Groin | 5 - 7 Weeks
Will Verrall - Pelvis  | 7 - 8 Weeks

Especially after 46 possessions the week before and no promotion.

4-6 for Dunstan with a medial 

with Salem to return our top 25 are all injury free

hope this continues and we continue our conservative strategy with rest/recovery

Would imagine that Salo would ease in - maybe a half at Casey then 2 or 3 full games then promoted on form. 

Best news when of course Casey has a bye 🙄

No rush on him playing, Cherry ripe for KB

Presumably the Casey players will have a pretty serious match sim on the weekend, and Salo can start to build some match conditioning.  He’s had an extended break (thyroid & knee) and it will take time for him to become match fit.  I’m really looking forward to his return, but I doubt it will be before the bye.

I really don't see how.

Unless very limited time in magoos 

Cannot and wont come "straight back in" after an extended layoff!

Salo needs more hype, he will compliment our defenders perfectly. I suspect it will take him 2-3 weeks to have him fit and ready for the firsts. 

He is the perfect person to step into Hibbos role, whose body is not holding up well this year.

IMO this is the ideal mix...

Petty May McVee/Bowey

Rivers Lever Salem 

This group is a great mix of youth, class and toughness. With Salo adding even more clean ball use to the mix.

we have the bye too.

playin the Hawks!

Would be a handy sub option this weekend, great to see him back.

Two games at Casey you’d reckon 

He was dreadful last year when rushed back into the side.

Needs a month at Casey (considering their bye this week) and can come back after the bye, not sure we want his first game back against the Pies (or cats for that matter) where it will be extremely fast paced.

We are not in a position where we are forced to play him underdone.

 

Interesting language - telegraphing selection?

I wonder if they want to get a game under his belt before the important Port game? If so, he could come straight in this week.

I wonder if McVee will get a rest...
