The injury list published today on afl.com.au - The full AFL injury list: pre-season update - AFL.com.au - makes for depressing reading.
None of Franklin, Menzel, and Smith are especially likely to start round 1 and Naismith surely won't (just when tap ruckmen are coming back into vogue). Worse, Ling is still injured "indefinitely".
I'd hope his time spent playing and trading to play on key forwards, doesn't effect his ability to play on mids/smells - it seemed to effect Leo Barry's ability in that regard.
I missed this could you include the source please?
I think he might be better down back, more likely to stay involved than on "starvation corner" up forward.
Redback cocktail party function is tonight.
My sponsor child for the year is Nick Blakey. Poor kid... what an induction to the club!!!
Hopefully I'll be able to put up some shots tomorrow (although I may need assistance).
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
It was nice to see Buddy in a training photo actually training 😊.
I actually don't think that injury list is a disaster.
Buddy - not ideal but we play OK when he's not there as we spread our goal kickers more
Menzel - just get him right
Smith - I don't think he's a key player for us anymore and think he's replaceable anyway
Naismith - get a few games into Cameron
Ling - hasn't even debuted anyway (why did we extend his contract already? This has Daniel O'Keefe vibe!)
