Will be one of the best stories of the year if he can just play to 70%-80% of his usual standard and stay on the park.
Yeah it will be great, Apart from being a gun player, He's a fantastic bloke who I've never heard a bad word spoken about him. Minutes will be limited to about 60% on return, but boy can the big fella have an impact in that time.

You love seeing these blokes from any club who have had multiple knee injuries make their comebacks. Just real good stories when they eventually make it back.

Really looking forward to seeing him in the ruck again and I bet Luke Shuey & our other mids are as well. Nic Nat hasn't had a go in this 6-6-6 era so looking forward to seeing some explosive breakaway's once again from the middle.

Does he look leaner to you as compared to his previous comeback?

Yep, and that's the point I wanted to make.

Some of the best posters on this forum will only drop in once in a blue moon - @All is Wells is one that comes to mind as someone who may not post super frequently, but has arguably the best fantasy record (in my mind) on the forum.
disappointed I didnt get a mention here.... :unsure:

No, probably about the same as last time, though the damage done to his knee this time was far less than last time, and he's had a much cleaner rehab. At this stage he looks a little chunky, lol... But he was moving around the ground on the weekend just like normal. You'd expect that as he gets a few games under his belt, he'll drop a few kg's.

Power selection is going to be interesting tomorrow

Amon & Howard suspended , Drew & Ladhams in the mix.

Powell-Pepper , Rockliff , Ryder , Westhoff all in the SANFL ?

That could mean 5-6 of their theoretically best 22 missing.

@BigRuss is there still room for all of them ? , I guess they need to perform at SANFL level.

And Motlop & S Gray still survive !!!

from Ralphy, HS Live Feed

Taylor Garner has been stood down from the Kangaroos AFL side for its clash with Collingwood pending further investigation into his alleged pub fight.

Garner, 25, is being investigated by the AFL integrity department after an alleged altercation with another man at a Sydney pub. It's alleged the man was left with a broken nose.

He played in the Kangaroos Round 13 game against the Giants before the bye.

Garner is permitted to play VFL.

Hi Everyone , well i'm back and not liking this cold weather been used to 32-38 degress for last 3 and a half weeks , nor the state of my team ( big neglect)

If i was looking for a last mid and forward who should i be targeting

Mids : Kelly , Fyfe ,Macrae , Cripps , Cunnington , Neale , Sloane , Dunkley ( Duursma , Bewley , Clarke )

Fwds : Danger , Kelly , Boak , De Goey , Westhoff , Baker (Balta , Young )

Would like to bring Dunkley to Fwds and Get ?? , hardly any cash in bank

Thoughts anyone ..........

No good asking me mate, I've watched about 5 games of footy total in the last 2 months so fingers well and truly off the pulse.

I'd assume Rocky or SPP come in for Amon but I'm guessing at best.

Popular choices for cheap mids would be Treloar and Bont atm.... Bont scores well at Marvel and mostly plays there second half of the season I believe, Treloar cheap due to an injury affected game...
