Toby Greene is a 50/50 chance, Restricted to cross-training and running laps this morning. The Giants won’t make a decision on Greene’s availability until after Thursday’s main training session.
Jake Stringer is still another week away.
Stephen Coniglio unsure of a return having missed almost three months with a nerve issue in his glute.
Port Adelaide: Jason Horne-Francis to return this week.
“Jason Horne-Francis will be available for this Sunday’s game against Melbourne. The 21-year-old has now completed his rehab since sustaining a hamstring injury in Round 11, and will re-join full training this week.”
Richmond: Jayden Short is a test to return from a calf injury.
High Performance Manager Ben Serpell said: “He has started to make some gains, but he will remain a test for when we face the Western Bulldogs in Round 15.”
Western Bulldogs will keep playing Tom Liberatore in defence
“You can’t expect a player like Tom who plays the way he does, to do it for as long as he does all the time… We’re looking to lighten his load a little bit, we’re looking for another layer for Tom.” – Luke Beveridge
I did the same, Chillo.
I debated Liberatore or Richards? Never expected Libba to be moved to defence as I ended up taking Libba as I thought he would be the safer in the mids with Treloar’s return. It turned out Richards was the best trade in.
I don’t know about trading him for Butters? It has merit but I know as soon as I do that Bevo will move the magnets again.
Damn! A rock and a hard place.
Thinking trading Whifield or zorko who are not scoring well anymore . down to a merkercher or mills to free up some money for other needed premos like butterz and bont.
Richmond: Campbell Gray: Knee, TBC
“As reported over the weekend, Campbell sustained a posterolateral knee injury,” Serpell said.
“We will allow Campbell to rest this week and try to put together some timelines later in the week once we return to training.”
Essendon: Sam Durham suspended for two weeks for his bump on Adam Cerra.
Essendon has accepted Durham’s two-game ban.
He’ll miss games against Geelong and Fremantle before the Bombers’ bye.
St Kilda:
Jack Macrae a likely inclusion this week after a punctured lung.
Liam Stocker is also a test.
Matteas Phillipou won’t play.
GWS:
Finn Callaghan set to return.

Western Bulldogs: Luke Beveridge has signed a two-year deal to remain coach.
Dan Curtin is the AFL Rising Star nominee for round 13
Western Bulldogs: Cooper Hynes $108,900 MID
Cooper Hynes training with the AFL side this morning, looks to be the likely replacement for James Harmes.
Hynes had 31 disposals and a goal in the VFL last weeks
Essendon: Zach Reid has re-signed until 2028

So gross. Only brought him in last week.
Is it too radical to trade him to Butters this week???
I did the same, Chillo.

Good luck Chillo with what you decide to do.
And just like that… Team sheet.
FOLL: T.English, M.Bontempelli , T.Liberatore
Can never trust Bevo.
Who knows what position Libba will play now. Except Bevo
Bevo never ceases to amaze me with his magnets…. and another two years!
