Ben Ainsworth (corked quad), Nick Holman (foot) and Lachie Weller (knee)
Lachie Weller expected to only miss a week with a minor knee injury.
Thought Phillips would be a fair chance to return with Norths injuries, but the guy is a ghost
Time to move him on!
Yep. I am very surprised.
Must be hanging out with Constable who also seems to have ghostly qualities.
It will be very interesting to see if the likes of Howe, Hall and Turner get named in the 22 tomorrow night.
Notice Chesser is named as an emergency. If you are planning to loop, be careful.
McKenzie also a named emergency. Might hurt his stagnant cash flow even more. If you were holding him, really think it might be the right time to let him go.
Read on AFL website that Fyfe is a possible sub. If he goes under 300k he’s almost a rookie price option in a few weeks. Hmmmm.
Sharp and Drury new rookies. Sharp might only be keeping a spot warm for Zorko, but who knows. We are all hoping that Drury gets an extended go 102k DPP. Yes please!
Fyfe confirmed as the sub on Twitter by Ryan Daniels.
Sharp has zero job security but Drury will be worth a look, hopefully he gets a good run at it.
Thomas Berry also named forward flank for Gold Coast – forward $123.
Good to see Davie back at Bombers too- need a few players to start getting named!
Bring on Drury! Yep
Yeah, I think Berry might have small or no job security either, like Sharp. But if they perform you never know. Davey was my trade out target this week, might have to rethink tomorrow if he’s named in the 22.
Named on field Phil so definitely will play.
Thanks. Will need to put my thinking cap on now.
Jack zieball named forward?
Do we think he’s actually going to play there with Comben and CCJ out?
Their forward line does seem very small without him
Any chance we can have the non SC related posts removed from the various feeds, there’s a bit of spamming happening at the moment.
Yeah, just removed them now and passed along the IP to Motts. Been the same scumbag all week, legit every morning I’ve popped onto the site.
I removed about 6 posts yesterday as well.
Richmond: Ivan Soldo (foot) out replaced by Noah Cumberland \
Nyuon is the new emergency
Geelong coach Chris Scott has confirmed there is “zero chance” the Cats don’t pay either Jordan Dawson or Rory Laird some extra attention on Saturday
