Carlton’s Elijah Hollands will undergo scans on a suspected hip/adductor injury from today.
Zac Williams was assessed for a right calf concern late in the fourth quarter.
Zac Williams has avoided any concern with his leg, coach Michael Voss not concerned post-game.
Sam Walsh tracked well over the weekend, just about a lock for Round 5
Tribunal News.
Melbourne will challenge Kysaiah Pickett’s one-match ban at the Tribunal.
The Match Review Officer graded the incident as careless conduct with high contact and medium impact, triggering the ban.
Carlton has accepted Lachie Fogarty’s one game suspension for striking Nat Fyfe.
Hawthorn: Massimo D’Ambrosio spent 20 minutes and 58 seconds on the bench in the final quarter. He started the quarter on the bench for 5 mins so had a 5 and 15 min stint.
With 10 minutes to go Hawthorn only had 2 rotations left. Which they kept for injuries so D’Ambrosio was stranded on the bench.
Fremantle: Jeremy Sharp ($184k MID)
“Playing his role really well. Building his game week on week. He’s had a super pre-season. He’s made a big impact over pre-season. He’s getting reward for effort because he’s worked his backside off.”
Justin Longmuir
Gidday CT, not sure where to ask this question so choose you.
Is it possible for a list of the coming DPPs changes?
Hi Willy.
I will be updating the DPP list this week. Probably tomorrow.
There are currently 39 names on track to gain DPP status and another 4 are between 30-35%
It has been confirmed three games will be enough for the first round of DPP updates.
So if Clohesy, Comben etc play the next two weeks they will be eligible.
Missed some of the footy on the weekend CT- was Clohedy Mid & Coombes back mainly?
Clohesy was on the wing
Comben was a defender
Spot on Natopotato.
Thank you for answering MickDundee’s question.
Thank you
are cadman and darcy in line to get Ruck status?
Western Bulldogs: Sam Darcy has been named the Rising Star for round four
Essendon: Archie Perkins (hamstring) Expected to miss 4 weeks.
Adelaide: Riley Thilthorpe won’t return until round 16.
WCE:
Ryan Maric sore, but ok – remarkably still a chance to play this weekend.
Jai Culley and Dom Sheed got through first WAFL game, sore but all clear, will play WAFL again.
Liam Ryan to play WAFL mins this weekend.
Adam Simpson
Richmond: Shai Bolton
“We’re trying to grow his midfield time”
Adem Yze
Does anyone know why Charlie Lazaro didn’t play last week?
He was dropped for Greenwood/Shiels.
Probably wanted some more experienced players in the team. No VFL on the weekend to help get his spot back
Could anyone please tell me JHF current forward % for DPP? If he gains forward status could almost be a must have this week!
Highly unlikely
JHF had a 91% /9% MID/FWD split on the weekend.
If Wines returns this weekend will it impact JHF midfield %. More forward but lower scores?
After the way he played last weekend it would be hard to move him out of the mids.
What happens to Wines will be interesting.
Port Adelaide: Ollie Wines will be available for Saturday’s match, while Trav Boak will be assessed throughout the week.
Hey CT. Anyone heard about the scans Pendles had on his ribs?? Hoping with the bye he doesn’t miss any matches but he ain’t getting any younger. Thanks
“The 388-gamer will be monitored across Collingwood’s bye week and will be assessed to determine his availability for the Magpies’ Round Six clash against Port Adelaide. A further update will be provided next week.” – Collingwood website
Scans have confirmed Scott Pendlebury sustained a rib fracture.
See Natopotato’s post for more information.
Cheers lads

Brisbane:
Lachie Neale today saying he is still dealing with his ankle injury and needs to tick a few boxes.
He didn’t appear on Brisbane’s injury list.
WCE:
Andrew Gaff could be a chance to return against Richmond.
According to The West Sport.
That will really boost Eagles” chances.
Im changing my tip..
You will have to change your tip again as Gaff is an emergency.
Carlton: Sam Walsh got through today’s skills session pain free, it’s another box ticked ahead of a return this weekend from a back injury. Thursday’s training the last hurdle for Walsh.
The average number of trades used by the #SuperCoach top 1000 teams is 6.4.
9 trades: 2%
8 trades: 27.5%
7 trades: 12.7%
6 trades: 36.3%
5 trades: 10.3%
4 trades: 8.5%
3 trades: 2.0%
2 trades: 0.5%
1 trade: 0.2%
3 boosts: 13.3%
2 boosts: 33.6%
1 boost: 36.6%
0 boosts: 16.5%
That’s a lot who’ve used 3 boosts- so they should have been 9 trades? Are these numbers before this weeks trades?
3 boosts would have needed to be used for 9 trades, otherwise a boost shouldn’t count. Stats don’t seen to match correctly
St Kilda: The coach (Ross Lyon) suggested back-up ruckman Tom Campbell will need to provide Rowan Marshall with some coverage at stages, but it might not be just yet – AFL (In the mix article)

Well that’ll be a fun name for commentators!
Fremantle: Justin Longmuir says Sean Darcy will be on restricted minutes when he returns as he builds his fitness.
AFL press release on Jeremy Finlayson
The AFL wishes to advise that Port Adelaide player Jeremy Finlayson has been found guilty of breaching AFL Rule 2.3(a) (Conduct Unbecoming) in relation to an incident during the third quarter of Friday’s nights match against Essendon.
Finlayson used an unprompted and highly offensive homophobic slur against an Essendon opponent, which demeans and denigrates persons regardless of their sexuality.
Finlayson has received a three-match suspension and is required to attend appropriate Pride in Sport training as approved by the AFL in which Finlayson will pay for personally.
He will not be eligible to play for Port Adelaide during Round 5, 6 and 7, including playing in the SANFL.
In determining the sanction, the AFL took into account Finlayson’s immediate apology and contrition, both privately on the night, publicly the next day and again on Monday.
To be clear, without the full and frank admissions, apologies and contrition that Finlayson showed, the sanction would have included a longer suspension.
“Everyone, including Jeremy understands the word he used is both hurtful and totally unacceptable in any setting, ever,” AFL General Counsel Stephen Meade said.
“The AFL is very clear that homophobia has no place in our game, nor in society. We want all people in LGBTQI+ communities to feel safe playing or attending our games and we know the incident that happened on the weekend does not assist this goal. As a code we will continue to work together to improve our game as a safe and inclusive environment for all.
“The AFL will continue to consider the specific circumstances in each incident in determining appropriate responses. Jeremy’s sanction would have been higher if he didn’t immediately understand and take ownership of his mistake both privately and publicly.”
All AFL and AFLW Players and officials receive yearly education regarding vilification and the effects of such behaviour, and we will continue to build on anti-vilification training across our code at all levels.
Give AFL time every round will be called something, I am with you whats the matter with Rd1, Rd2 etc. You missed Rd0
Is it worth doing Jackson -> Flanders?
With Darcy coming back this week, and Jackson’s BE creeping over 150 it could be time to jump off?
The thumbs down have spoken!
Gold Coast:
Damien Hardwick says there’ll unlikely be any changes this week provided there are no concerns from Thursday’s training session. He says Sam Flanders will play a similar role this week.
Carlton: Sam Walsh got through this morning’s session at Ikon Park and will play against the Crows on Saturday.
Port Adelaide:
Ratugolea & JHF are absent with illness from training but club expects they’ll play.
Travis Boak (back issue) looking unlikely for round 5.
Hawthorn: Sam Mitchell interview –
On CJ- He won’t play at all this week. Still assessing about next week.
* Will Day- Able to get in training in recent week’s. Looks like an athlete again. 2 weeks away and on schedule.
* injuries- creates opportunity for others. Seamus Mitchell back, allows Hardwick to play forward.
* Hardwick- he will train forward today. Will make a final assessment in next 48 hours.
* the ruck- The hardest position on the field to play. Nowhere to hide. Big test for Meek this week against Witts
* James Worpel- He’s his own best coach. Willing to do the work. He’s been consistent quarter after the quarter this season.
* Mitch Lewis (knee) He’s had this for a while. Been managing and carrying it. Time off will help recovery & hamstring.
* Max Ramsden- Will get another opportunity this week
Melbourne: Clayton Oliver
Hand issue – “We’re managing that. It’s slowly improving. These are just little things that players deal with throughout the season. We’ll continue to monitor that & make sure we get him right.”
coach Simon Goodwin
Fremantle: Luke Jackson
“We forget Luke was developing into a really good key fwd before Sean got injured last year. He’d 18-20 goals by the halfway mark. He can play a number of different roles & so can Sean for that matter.”

Richmond:
Jack Ross is set to miss up to eight weeks, after scans revealed a stress fracture in his foot.
Hoping it opens the door for McAuliffe to get a better go
The kid can play so can Garcia
Good luck
Hawthorn: Lloyd Meek
“Wittsy’s a fantastic ruck. Meeky is going to have to play really well. He’s put together a couple of good games. We need to him to perform at a level that he did last week & he needs to continue every week.”

North: Tyler Sellers $102k FWD will make his AFL debut this weekend against Geelong
Richmond: Tim Taranto
Scans have confirmed that Tim Taranto suffered a fractured radius at training today and is set for surgery.
He is “expected to miss an extended period”.
North Melbourne: Tyler Sellers (FWD $102k) will make his debut on Sunday.
Added to the rookie list in February after playing in the VFL and VAFA last year.
Sellers, 20, finished second in the Kangaroos’ VFL best and fairest last year after kicking 30 goals for the season.
“Tyler stood out to us with his overhead marking and goalkicking ability in the VFL last year and has continued to impress while training with us over the pre-season,” North Melbourne head of football Brady Rawlings said.
“He has brought a great attitude towards training, and we look forward to watching him further develop his skills and attributes with this opportunity at AFL level.”
Brisbane:
Charlie Cameron offered a one-match suspension for his tackle on Jake Lever.
The rough conduct charge was graded as careless conduct, medium impact, high contact.
Melbourne:
Clayton Oliver has undergone finger surgery
“Clayton has been managing a finger issue over the past few weeks, and has today undergone a small procedure,” Richardson said.
“The required surgery will alleviate some pain Clayton has been experiencing, which will allow him to play and perform at his best for the rest of the season.
“With the extended break we have before our next match, and with everything going to plan, we expect Clayton not to miss any footy and to be available for our Round 7 clash against Richmond.”
Christian Salem will miss at least the next four weeks after suffering a hamstring injury early
Libba on @abcsport: Everything is good, I sorta came up and lost balance of my ankle. I tweaked my ankle just at the start of the last quarter. So you know, I relayed when I got up I fell back down. I’m all fine, no symptoms and full recollection.
Hold my Beveridge
The video evidence doesn’t support Libba’s claims nor does Parish reaction.
Maybe Libba was confused?
Western Bulldogs: Tom Liberatore has started Concussion protocols.
GWS: Sam Taylor has been cleared of any major concerns and is being monitored at Canberra Hospital
WCE: Liam Duggan – Some doubt about playing.
