    • Thanks CT, was thinking about retaining JHF as one of those recovery weeks was the Port bye. But if he’s missing 3 games plus the bye, I’m leaning towards trading him.

  2. DPP Changes

    CONNOR ROZEE: Lock him in.
    He had his highest CBA percentage since round 4 against Geelong but still featured at only 28 per cent despite Jason Horne-Francis’ hamstring injury.

    ZACH MERRETT​: Not likely.
    Merrett was present at 81 per cent of centre bounces, his second-highest percentage of the season. As a result, he’s going to miss out on MID-FWD status

    WILL ASHCROFT: Stocks have fallen.
    He featured in 55 per cent of centre bounces against Melbourne, which was his highest percentage since round 3 and second-highest of the year. He’s been edging toward DPP by 1 per cent a week so would need to play almost exclusively forward in round 11 to become a MID-FWD.

    MARCUS BONTEMPELLI​: The dream is unlikely
    His forward time is at 23 per cent – well short of the magic 35 per cent threshold.

    TOUK MILLER​: Not going to happen.
    Touk has spent 75 per cent of games in midfield.

    NASIAH WANGANEEN-MILERA: No
    Even playing 100 per cent mid against the Suns this week wouldn’t get him DPP, at least this time around.

    KYSAIAH PICKETT: Just about sealed DPP.
    His split sitting at 46 per cent midfield and 56 per cent forward time in his seven matches.

    DANIEL TURNER:​ Yes. FWD/DEF
    Has played 56 per cent of game time in defence in his six games

    AARON FRANCIS: Concussion casualty
    Will miss out on DPP after sustaining a concussion against Carlton. He’ll miss round 11 and fall short of the six-game threshold required to be eligible for DPP mid-season.

    JORDAN DE GOEY​: Selection dilemma
    Looked a lock for FWD-MID but needs to play this week to meet the games threshold – and get his mid time up from 32 to 35 per cent.

    Corey Wagner: Tick
    He bumped his mid time from 34 per cent to 44 per cent last round, all but locking in MID-DEF status.

    Cooper Simpson: Next time
    Fwd who has played 100 per cent game time in defence – but won’t qualify in this round after playing just three games.

    Sam Banks: Yes
    Will be a DEF-MID after playing 45 per cent of game time in the midfield.

    Oscar Allen: Positional switch problematic
    He returned to the forward line on Sunday, likely ruining his DPP chances – he has played 31 per cent in defence this year.

    Tim Kelly FWD time is 27 per cent so unlikely.

    • Need to remember these injuries are running into bye weeks- where it’s best 18.
      So could easily hold through the byes- especially picking one to sit on bench

  7. WCE

    Jeremy McGovern’s return to footy is in the hands of the
    AFL, it’s a process that is becoming more common with three specialists involved.

    If he doesn’t pass, could miss the rest of the season.

  9. Carlton: Positive scans for Jack Silvagni and his groin injury, coming up all clear. The defender didn’t train today and is only a remote chance to feature against GWS, but isn’t expected to be sidelined long-term.

    Tom De Koning set to return.

  10. Collingwood:

    Lachie Schultz will miss a second game due to concussion. He’s still working through the protocols.

    Darcy Moore (shoulder) and Dan Houston (calf) will need to pass main training on Thursday to be considered against the Roos.

    Expect Nick Daicos to be fine to play.

  12. Jayden Short: Calf, 1-2 weeks

    “Shorty missed a game a couple of weeks ago, where he pulled out in the warm-up due to knee soreness,” Serpell said.
    “Unfortunately, in the last couple of weeks, that knee soreness has tracked to the back of his leg, and he has sustained a small soleus strain in his calf.

    “We will manage that over the next couple of weeks, and just like we do with any of our other players, we will take a precautionary approach with it and give him a bit of time.
    “He will miss the next one to two (weeks), so we can make sure that he is right to go when he is available
