The injury was sustained when he tried to repeat the effort one-handed.

This speculation is going nuts. It was suggested some time ago that Jackson & Gus were delaying contract discussions until the new CBA was finalised - does anyone have any idea when we could realistically expect that to happen (bearing in mind the current AFL mens' CBA runs over 2017-2022)...?

In Goodwin's R14 press conference just now, he mentioned that Majak Daw has a pectoral injury and won't be available for 4 weeks. Not sure why this hasn't been on previous injury reports or if his earlier absences are not related to this injury. On Weidemann and what he has to do to be back in the frame, Goodwin noted his form has been improving in the last few weeks, that he's been working on things in the last 6 months that just haven't quite been seen on gameday yet, but that he's expecting we'll see good things soon. Interesting to hear quite a tone shift since recent pressers when Weid has been brought up. Goody's R14 press conference link

Preuss injured again? He can't take a trick.

If they value him that highly they'd have to be prepared to hand over a mountain of players and picks in a trade.

A touch over 50k, allegedly.

Could end up catching a lot more than covid...

Quite the eyebrow-raiser that decision - perhaps a shrewd strategy to reduce his future asking price.

Many would kill to see that cctv footage. Has the afl or the club paid for it to keep it under wraps?

They don't make facepalms big enough for this call.

Mandatory 12 days minimum with concussion - he cannot be selected for our next game.

I don't think the plan is to definitely drop the games here - exacerbating factors have not helped (injuries to key personnel at both ends of the ground, and both covid and flu going through the group in the leadup). It appears the question is, do you want to run out of gas on the cusp of finals, or have a mid season dip so that you can be fit and flying come Sept?

Well [censored]... in May/June too. 🤔

Particularly because the first half scores for/against are almost the same between the first 10 and recent 3 rounds. Almost as though we're running out of legs, which erodes our skills and pressure. 🤔 My one concern here though is our low pressure rating this year compared to last was low prior to these recent 3 rounds. My feeling in our first 10 rounds was that we were not wrecking ourselves going hell for leather, rather we were doing what needed to be done to get the wins - that may correlate with lower pressure. If this is the case though we'd really want to see it stepping up from here towards Sept.

Problem is our next game is on Thurs 23 June which is 10 days away.

Jeez we are looking exposed. Turner out (concussion; bad luck he looked good esp. early) - May in Rivers in for Bowey perhaps (give Bowey a little freshen up in the 2s)? MBrown out ... but for who? Loathe to throw JVR to the wolves unless he's truly ready, and Weid/MBrown probably offering similarly little currently - F it, bring JVR in. He looks hungry at Casey.

Brayshaw Oliver Petty Jordon Hibbo Viney

That wasn't turning off, that was running out of gas, being worked out tactically, and having no answers.

Don't look within cooee of finding the required 2 goals.

Let's not let Cox have his once-every-two-year blinder.

Of course no in the back to oliver after brown's goal

Good god 16 possessions to Oliver by qtr time. He is something special.

Cracking game early.

Well... first he said that he couldn't perform at his best because there weren't big crowds, then seemed to belatedly clue in to his gaffe of denigrating his own supporter base, at which point he did indeed say it was cold and we were old as a means of extracting his foot from his mouth. Not his finest hour in the media!

Horne-Francis absolutely goneski for a late forearm across the face of a GWS player after a kick. Has to be weeks surely.
