Surely JVR will miss a few as a result of the brutal impact injury to his bicep 🤔

From Simon Goodwin this morning.  Don't expect to see Salem this week.

Meanwhile, Goodwin said rebounding half-back Christian Salem (knee) faced more time on the sidelines, but fellow defender Michael Hibberd (managed) was expected to return against the Hawks.

[Dee Zephyr 18,246]

Bugger, injury report this week has Petty out likely for 4-6 weeks.

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. 

Except Hibbo was magnificent on Saturday evening

Will not be dropped n that performance in my view Salem needs to prove through the VFL for 2 or  games remembering he was ill and under-performing prior to his injury

Doesn't Verrall have a history of hip/pelvis problems?

No history of hip/pelvis issues. He came down hard in a pre-season practice match and sustained the injury.

Just on the whole pelvic bone injury, surgery and recovery. Poor bugger. Would that mean no banging until 100% better?

Chatted to Will during Sleep at the ‘G and while I didn’t ask him specifically about his *banging capabilities, I did ask him if his injury and subsequent surgeries etc. see him still hampered in any way. He said he is doing everything to the same extent as he was pre-injury.

* I asked him important questions like what sort of shampoo and conditioner he uses. If anyone’s wondering, his answer was “whatever’s there at the time.” Pfft teenage boys… no idea. 🙄

not sure it is a good idea to ask a teenage boy about his banging capacity.

Ideally Salo comes back in and allows Gus to play in the middle.

I think you should change your name to Scoop.

Hibbo will need to be managed throughout the year, and Riv, Bowey and McVee are all in great form, selectors will have a lot of trouble squeezing in all that talent into the backline. I also think we're doing a much better job at bringing our players back from injury so I only expect Salem to really need one VFL game to have him ready for the firsts.

Here's an interesting thought deeves. What if Gus stays back and Salo gets some midfield time when he returns?

He played through some significant groin issues last year which had a huge impact on him sliding out to the rookie draft.

The club nursed him through the pre season as there was still some lingering issues there to manage.

Poor kid, watched him against St Kilda in the second game and he was very impressed. Took a couple of good strong contested marks.

Thanks Mr or Mrs gentle refreshing  light breee. I definitely want Rivers in the middle more often but Salo there could be interesting. One of the things I do like about CS in defence is how often he finds a teamate so accurately by foot .

Strongly agree Dazzle his injuries last year made it possible for us to pick him up as a Rookie if we can get him back to full fitness he could surprise.!!

I’m amazed his head stayed on his neck, that’s usually the first thing that goes. Clumsy people (me) shouldn’t be allowed to have bobble heads. I’ve had to repair every single one I own, a couple of them twice. The above is the worst I’ve had to deal with; no problem gluing him back together, but I can’t find his missing leg anywhere. All good though, I’ve got another Kozzie and this one is still in one piece.
