Early prognosis

Ahern and Davies-Uniacke are the fresh ones on the list and will have to pass fitness tests after setbacks in the VFL and AFL, respectively. The Roos are taking it cautiously with Tyson‘s calf issue, particularly given he has already had a recurrence this season, and he remains at least a fortnight off. – Marc McGowan

Early prognosis

Rockliff will make the trip to China for the Power’s game against St Kilda in Shanghai on Sunday after scans on a hamstring injury came back positive. However, he didn’t train with the main group on Tuesday. Burton moved freely at training on Tuesday after just missing out on returning last week. Ruckman Scott Lycett has been cleared to return from an adductor injury, while Dixon is expected back after the bye. – Lee Gaskin

Early prognosis

Given the six-day turnaround between games, Richmond has given Lambert another week off to recover from Achilles soreness. Skipper Cotchin is set to make his long-awaited return after initially injuring his hamstring in round three. Pickett joined the Tigers in the NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft and went straight to the injury list after breaking his finger playing for WAFL side South Fremantle. More details have emerged about draftee English’s injury; he suffered a broken scapula (shoulder blade) at training. – Sarah Black |

In a change of luck for the Saints, there’s good news on the injury front. Geary is expected to get through training and face Port Adelaide on Sunday, Paton should be available for selection and Hannebery is almost certain to feature in the VFL. – Dinny Navaratnam

There will be a minimum of three changes – Hickey, Jetta and Venables – from the Melbourne triumph, and Schofield should be back after missing due to rib soreness. Barrass is back running in the gym, however his return to play date remains around the two-month mark, despite missing five games already. Edwards will be in a moon boot for a month after becoming the latest Eagle to succumb to foot stress fractures. – Travis King

Crozier and Wallis were the casualties against North Melbourne in round 10, suffering a toe and ankle injury respectively. The Bulldogs are in good shape for the most part and have no long-term concerns. – Paul Bastin |
*Placed on the club’s long-term injury list
Dangerfield will play, Rocky will play, Crouch will miss and Williams will return next week.
Argh, Crouch. Hoping he gets up, starting to really hurt having a midfield premo on the bench.
doubt he’ll play , its not finals ,
if rocky does play , with his injury history , he will probably be managed ,
maybe play fwd with limited TOG ,
@ the start of the season , port would have penciled him in for a couple of weeks off around the byes period , regardless of an injury ,
enjoy the moo shoo big fella
Darcy Moore possible return?
Sure I saw someone mentioned hamstring earlier this week
Don’t think so, Bryson. Talking Footy reported last night that he now is having hamstring issues. Because he’s been such an asset this year I think they’ll take it really conservatively with him.
Thanks for response GD
Couldn’t find the first post
All good. I’m looking to trade Moore to Ryan or Houli this week, wbu?
Was leaning towards Ryan, but might go all in and grab J Kelly while I can still get him.
Brought Lloyd in last week.
Can get him with Moore and Drew
That will have me at full premo mids (inc Dunkley atm) and only having to field 1 rookie in Fwds.
Have good cover for R12 & R13. Need to focus the def line for R14
Oh, nice!
I do not trust that Rockcliff will play but I suppose they wouldn’t fly him there otherwise. Hmmm.
Crouch is an absolute killer atm. They said he was a chance to play the week after he got injured, now it’s dragged out to a two, possibly a three weeker. Not going near the bloke again. Burned me last season and I clearly didn’t learn from my mistakes this season.
I have Mrouch, Moore, Zilliams, Rockliff and Cogs………and you guys think you’ve got problems LOL….rocking…..LOL…..rocking……crying, sobbing, swearing, cursing……..rocking…….
And Dangerfield………rocking……..
Change of coach hasn’t fixed the Roos messy list.
Hard for the Roos to shop for premo players , when they’re HQ is a rusty shed , with a paint job
Not to mention the bugger all supporters , that don’t even bother turning up to games , even when they’re winning
I like the Roos , but honestly , do they really have a long term future as an AFL club if they stay @ Arden st ?
Maybe as a VFL club or in Tassie they could grow
Dear PJ
You obviously haven’t been anywhere near Arden Street the last few years.
Gone are the ‘rusty sheds with a paint job’ and replaced with the same sort of facilities that you will currently find at any of the other Victorian Clubs.
We may have less supporters than most clubs but you don’t hear about ours fighting, spitting, brawling and so on with other supporters
I would encourage you to visit the North Melbourne website and view the redevelopement of not only the ground but the Arden Street precinct in full so that once done our facilities will be the equal of the interstate clubs as well.
Finally, if you are concerned regarding North’s long term viability considering we are now in the best financial position in the last decade (said by Ben Buckley just this week), so since we have got thru the tough times we won’t be going anywhere.
well said shaggy
i drive past the club every night & stand by my opinion though
Well keep your opinion to yourself PJ. I don’t login here to read someones gloom and doom opinion about the club I support. Not needed!
PJ, please go back to school and work on your grammar. I nearly had a stroke trying to read you (writ’n).

Scrimshaw is out for 6ish weeks, trade him out if you’ve got him.
