Round 18: Injury List James Harmes (hamstring) — test Michael Hibberd (ankle) — test Luke Jackson (hamstring) — test Nathan Jones (quad) — 1 week Angus Brayshaw (foot) — season James Jordon (finger) — season Aaron Nietschke (knee) — season Harry Petty (groin) — season Kade Kolodjashnij (head) — indefinite

Judging by the way the club has traded and drafted in recent years, I doubt that we will be holding what is currently our first pick (being Hawthorn’s R2 selection) by the time the draft rolls around.

Injury List: Round 15 Michael Hibberd (ankle) – test Luke Jackson (hamstring) – 3 weeks Tom Sparrow (collarbone) – 3 weeks James Jordon (finger) – 3 - 5 weeks Marty Hore (quad) – indefinite Harry Petty (groin) – indefinite Kade Kolodjashnij (head) – indefinite Aaron Nietschke (knee) – season

It's a dire need and we have to inject some of it into the team next week because the Saints have us well covered for outside mids.

6. Steven May 5. Jake Lever 4. Jack Viney 3. Christian Salem 2. Christian Petracca 1. Braydon Preuss

Carlton will destroy GC17 coming off a 4 day break and having to play in 30 degree heat and humidity.

Injury/Suspension List: Round 13 Max Gawn (knee) – test Braydon Preuss (hip) – test Alex Neal-Bullen (suspension) – 2 matches Luke Jackson (hamstring) – 4 - 6 weeks Marty Hore (toe and quad) – indefinite Harry Petty (groin) – indefinite Kade Kolodjashnij (head) – indefinite Aaron Nietschke (knee) – season

The list grows ... Injury/Suspension List: Round 12 Corey Wagner (wrist) – available Max Gawn (knee) – test Alex Neal-Bullen (suspension) – 3 matches Luke Jackson (hamstring) – 4-6 weeks Marty Hore (toe and quad) – indefinite Harry Petty (groin) – indefinite Kade Kolodjashnij (head) – indefinite Aaron Nietschke (knee) – season

Makes sense as we have yet to play either Freo or the Swans. If it turns out that we’re still in the hunt for the finals then playing teams that are close to the bottom and not much to play for can be an advantage.

It looked as if Grundy was being managed as he was off the ground a lot more than usual.

Dunny!!!

Fair dinkum - we are going to have such a different side this time.

The impact on the draft of academies and father-sons can be measured by this - Cody Brand 195cm/85kg 23/5/02 Calder Cannons/Vic Metro Tall defender Essendon NGA Tanner Bruhn 182cm/73kg 27/5/02 Geelong Falcons/Vic Country Midfielder Braeden Campbell 180cm/73kg 4/2/02 Sydney Academy/Allies Midfielder Sydney Swans Academy Heath Chapman 193cm/81kg 31/1/02 West Perth/Western Australia Key defender Nik Cox 199cm/82kg 15/1/02 Northern Knights/Vic Metro Key forward/defender Alex Davies 191cm/85kg 18/3/02 Gold Coast Academy/Allies Midfielder Gold Coast Academy Zac Dum

Odds on, we play North in Tassie.
