Please don’t push too hard. Short is enjoying your absence.
Reading between the lines during Dimmas press conference, I think they will probably give him one more week. Was saying that he is 50/50 but Richmond tend to be conservative with these injuries, especially early in the year.

In saying that, I don't actually think he will affect Short too much. Short is a better player than Houli nowadays.

No Ely Smith, No Cockatoo either, looks good for Fullarton owners.

Brisbane confirmed that four players were given approval to fly to Melbourne, with young ruckman Connor Ballanden among the quartet. Those players have arrived in Melbourne and will have to isolate at a different hotel from the rest of the squad until they return negative COVID-19 test results. They have come to Melbourne in case the Lions need to make changes ahead of the Collingwood match.

With ruckman Oscar McInerney suffering an ankle injury in the one-point loss to the Cats and unlikely to face the Pies, Brisbane have brought in Ballenden to help 22-year-old ruck Tom Fullarton as they get set to take on All-Australian ruckman Brodie Grundy.

The other three making the trip to Melbourne are Darcy Gardiner, Rhys Mathieson and Marcus Adams.

No McStay either with him due back soon and now this.
UPDATE: The Lions are set to spend another two weeks in Victoria thanks to Brisbane’s snap COVID lockdown.

Easter Thursday’s blockbuster between Brisbane and Collingwood has been moved from the Gabba to Marvel Stadium, with the AFL swapping Round 3’s fixture with Round 22’s scheduled return game. The Lions will now host the Magpies in Round 22.

But Chris Fagan’s side will also have to stay in Melbourne through Round 4, when they play the Western Bulldogs in Ballarat.

Meanwhile the AFL and Gold Coast have agreed to move the club away from Queensland early, fearing potential flow-on effects of Brisbane’s lockdown.

South Australia placed a hard border between itself and Greater Brisbane on Monday afternoon, and in case that grows, the Suns will fly early for their Friday night clash with Adelaide.

The Suns had to make sure none of their players were in Brisbane during the exposure period, but none were, and the team will fly to SA on Tuesday morning.

Back at home
Will be much better with more room to roam. Think he’s a better starting prospect over Bergman at eagle land tough game scott who may be dropped and brockman in a blockbuster atmosphere game vs the cats in the cauldron on Easter Monday

Thoughts fam?
