GEELONG

Rhys Stanley has been missing since the Round 5 clash with West Coast but returned through the VFL on Friday night, picking up 12 touches, 30 hit outs and four clearances. “Rhys played three quarters of football and did a bit of top up running at the very end and we expect Rhys to be available this week,”

“Obviously it’s been a long period of time with Rhys’s recovery from a facial fracture but great to have him back.”

Tanner Bruhn suffered a shoulder injury and was able to play out the game. Has trained strongly today and we expect him to be available this week.”

Oisin Mullin missed with an adductor last week  He has trained strongly today and we expect him to be available this week.”

Sam Menegola and Shannon Neale will both see VFL action this Friday night against Casey. “Sam’s obviously come back from a long lay off with knee arthroscopes and Shannon Neale with ankle surgery, but they’ll both return this week and play some VFL football,”

Patrick Dangerfield’s return to play timetable is yet to be determined as he makes his way back from rib and lung injuries suffered against Port Adelaide last Thursday night.

Esava Ratugolea and Jonanthan Ceglar have both been training this week, but  it’s too early to tell as to when they can be expected back, other than to say Ratugolea is ‘very close’.

Changkuoth Jiath “The plan was to fully train this week, then assess. I still think this weekend has a question mark on it, in terms of playing,”

“He still has some slight awareness in the area, in his calf, it does involve a little bit of his Achilles attachment, and that’s what slowed us up, so there’s a little bit of tendon involvement.”

Liam Jones (forearm) – 8-10 weeks
Hayden Crozier (hamstring) – 8-10 weeks
Roarke Smith (foot) – Indefinite

Liam Jones “Liam received a kick to his forearm – this trauma has caused two separate breaks in the radius bone,” Bulldogs’ Head of Sports Medicine, Chris Bell, said.

“He had surgery yesterday to insert a large plate along his forearm to stabilise both fractures.

“We will confirm his return to play timeline over the coming weeks, but expect him to miss the next 8-10 games.”

Tim O’Brien and Hayden Crozier will also be sidelined for the next two months, after both sustained hamstring injuries in their respective matches.

“Both Tim in the AFL game and Hayden in the VFL game sustained hamstring injuries,” Bell said.

“Scans confirmed that they have both suffered moderate to high grade injuries, that will see them miss the next few months of football.”

Sam Darcy (jaw), Riley Garcia (groin) and Dom Bedendo (groin) are on track to exit the rehab group.

“Sam, Dom and Riley all have some boxes to tick over the next 10 days,” Bell said.

“We are optimistic that they remain on track to return to availability for the game following our midseason break.”
