IF he comes back. 
He just can’t catch a break. Lack of durability is really a problem for him. 

Petty is very injury prone.

We can’t be certain fritta comes back this year either . Foot injuries are tricky.

Don't tell anyone but....

WE ARE IN SECOND PLACE!!

Not yet. Lions still to play. But with a big last quarter we can stay there even if they win.

Geez we've got at least 8 players who have lifted their form from last year.

I'd include Nibbler there. Add JVR, JV, McVee, Chandler, Hunter, Rivers, ...

Possibly 3 or 4 who've dropped away, albeit injuries playing a part.

I woukd actually prefer Schacke, more mobility and a good back up ruck option

It might have to be this. Brown is no longer the answer, particularly under finals pressures.

It's a travesty if Daicos wins the Brownlow before Clarry 😡😡😡

They both deserve it… unfortunately Clarry will have to wait until next year.

Syndesmosis?

Athletes are allowed to return to sport when they can perform their sport-specific tasks at game speed with good movement quality and no significant complaints of pain or instability. Evidence suggests that syndesmosis sprains typically require 6 to 8 weeks for recovery, but this is variable.

Smith’s time to shine the next month!! 

He had earned it. 

And Ben Brown does?  I love BB but the game has passed him.  Once T-Mac is running a lnd fit maybe.  But Grundy can't play that role unfortunately

The fact that Petty isn't icing his foot spells Syndesmosis to me

Hope not that's min 6 weeks

The answer is Petty and JVR. Now petty is out. smith as forward, and Tomlinson back

Let's go Dees, finish it off!

in 30 minutes we are 2nd   :-)

Sheesh the players look glum talking to Petty

Schache on the attacky 

Hope the cost isn't too high.

How's that not a mark to melk

Did anyone else read Petty's lip then when he was speak with J.Smith?

Said its P hucked.

Hope I'm wrong.

different roles for me.  Id have both in next week

Bowey or McVee to come out

My only hope is that Petty doesn’t look incredibly upset so maybe it’s not as bad as we suspect and it’s precautionary?

That’s another mark missed

Ok dees finish them off get the %, no more injuries and we look to Carlton next week 

How was that not a mark or free
