North Melbourne: Jy Simpkin says he’s a chance to play this week. He’s already had a run to test his hamstring since Friday. More checks today, then a final test Thursday. North face Melbourne on Saturday
North Melbourne: Luke Davies-Uniacke. Had an MRI scan during the week on an undisclosed injury complaint. The midfielder will hope to train tomorrow and prove his fitness for the game against Melbourne on Saturday night.
Chad Warner MID –
Midfield

Forward

He attended only 48 per cent against Adelaide when he was tagged by Max Michalanney. A big watch in coming rounds with tags possible against GWS (Toby Bedford) and St Kilda (Marcus Windhager).
Harry Sheezel DEF

Midfield

Unlikely for change as he splits his time between mids and fwd.

Looks likely to become DPP.

Good chance if keeps his place in Collingwood’s line up with their players returning especially Jordan De Goey.

Izak Rankine FWD

He attended 52% of centre bounces last week with Matt Crouch out. Likely candidate if this trend continues.
Zac Williams DEF

Williams has booted 10 goals in the past four weeks since he started his new roll forward.

Would need to continue playing defence as he did last week to gain DPP. Watch.
Connor Rozee MID

Would be great as DPP but unlikely.
The only one of interest here is Williams (if you still have him), assuming he continues to play as a forward.
The others will either not get the switch, or the switch is not especially helpful unless you’re playing draft.
CT…The Kangas achieving Political levels of Spin and B/S over Colby… …round 13 he was ready bar the Bye…Week after..all right now..this week..We expext him to play…has his foot actually gone missing and they cannot find It??
GWS: Harvey Thomas is the round 14 AFL Rising Star nominee.
NICE
Port Adelaide: Charlie Dixon has been offered a three-match ban for his bump on West Adelaide’s Jordan White in the SANFL on Saturday.
Port Adelaide will challenge Charlie Dixon’s three-match suspension for rough conduct at the SANFL Tribunal tomorrow night.
Not much else to do in Adelaide on a Tuesday night,might as well!
Port Adelaide will appeal Zak Butters’ one-game suspension.
Zak Butters’ AFL Tribunal hearing will take place at 4PM
……..SCT prayer book readings will also commence at 4pm…
WCE: Tim Kelly looks set to miss this week’s clash with Essendon.
Hip flexor and ‘grumbly’ knee still causing an issue.
WCE: Elijah Hewett.
Will join main training next week, and following a 3-4 week block will be available to play – barring any setback.
WCE: Oscar Allen will play on Sunday, barring any setback at training this week.
Won’t play WAFL – will come straight in after significant training block and game style training in recent weeks.
Would be his first game of the season.
Second, he played round one
North Melbourne: Jy Simpkin says he’s a chance to play this week. He’s already had a run to test his hamstring since Friday. More checks today, then a final test Thursday. North face Melbourne on Saturday
Thanks for all the work CT. This thread is one of my favs and helps a lot with my team. Appreciate it.
Thanks FBS, and to all the thumbs up.
Butters free to play vs Brisbane
Butters is a slippery little sucker,
Even the MRO can’t grab him
Now he can get tagged by Berry this week and Windhager the week after…
Hope so GD! Not only will that help my lions in their cause, but my SC team too!! (I’ve made the decision not to have him)
What was he thinking,
He should of asked for two weeks to avoid the tags!!!
GWS: Sam Taylor will be sidelined indefinitely after surgery to repair a ruptured testicle.
Sam Taylor will miss 2-3+ weeks after surgery. More specifics will be known around the timeline in coming days.
Leek Aleer’s JS may have improved with Taylor’s injury
Fremantle: Michael Walters will miss three to four weeks with a hamstring injury
Melbourne: Kynan Brown (MID/FWD $102k) will make his AFL debut against North Melbourne on Saturday night
North Melbourne: Luke Davies-Uniacke. Had an MRI scan during the week on an undisclosed injury complaint. The midfielder will hope to train tomorrow and prove his fitness for the game against Melbourne on Saturday night.
Melbourne: Koltyn Tholstrup (FWD $153k)
There is expectations that he maybe named to play this week after not playing since round 5.
Update DPP status for round 18.
(After round 17, before round 18)

Does anyone know if Jason Horne-Francis did enough to get forward status?
Rounds 7-9
Sheezel 108, 73, 86
McKercher 102, 135, 91
Is Sheezel worth $586k if McKercher starts where he left off in the backline?
Port Adelaide: Charlie Dixon’s three-game ban for rough conduct stands, after appeal at the SANFL tribunal tonight fails.
Geelong: Tanner Bruhn (scaphoid fracture) is set to miss 4-6 weeks
Fremantle: Heath Chapman.
Justin Longmuir says Chapman is a good chance to play this round.
Will this news impact Worner?
Fremantle: Training news.
Hayden Young is in full training, despite tweaking his ankle late against the Dogs, as is Heath Chapman.
Brayshaw (!), Erasmus, Brodie, Emmett, Simpson, Cox among those currently in the WAFL group
GWS: Adam Kingsley absent from Thursday’s main training session with COVID but is expected to be fine to coach this
weekend.
Thanks for the updates, CT. Much appreciated.

CT…The Kangas achieving Political levels of Spin and B/S over Colby… …round 13 he was ready bar the Bye…Week after..all right now..this week..We expext him to play…has his foot actually gone missing and they cannot find It??
Colby McKercher named on the bench to play for the North Melbourne VFL side.
If one of his feet have gone missing I hope it is not his left foot – it will be a weapon.
……he will probably only play a half,……. Just to confirm he found it!!!!
Port Adelaide: Logan Evans named on field.
$102,400 DEF
Sydney: Have named Caiden Cleary a $117,300 MID.
