North Melb.
Ben Jacobs out indefinitely with concussion. Not great for him or the club or his family and friends but great news for the best players from the teams that play North over the next few weeks and for the owners of said players in SC.

Well there go any chances of sneaking into finals :cautious:

Rather North be super conservative with him given his importance to the side - get him right for next year.
Hopefully it's nothing too serious and he can get back to full health (y)

Lance Franklin's ongoing foot and knee issues, which Longmire told reporters would not be solved until the off-season.
He estimated Franklin had completed only 20 minutes' training this year because of the injuries that saw him sit out between rounds six and eight.

That doesn’t sound fantastic for owners. If I had him in my team i’d be putting the E on him every chance I got.

He’s in fair nick for a bloke that’s only done 20 minutes of training this year!

This is massive news. Ahern is going to be needed to cover him.

Freo’s next 3 opponents are Hawthorn, WC, Carlton.

Very light on attendance at Freo briefing. Lack of WA media organisation and everything syndicated out or lack of interest in Freo?

Maybe if Fyfe was returning it would be better attended. He keeps getting listed as 3 weeks but talked about as if he is recovering well. will it be week 2 of SC finals or week 3 I wonder?
