News Injuries & Suspensions

[McLovin]

I’m not sure what you were watching, but Rioli was watching the man not the ball, elected to bump and jumped in the air. Once his body (arse I think) made contact with Rowell’s face he was in trouble. Lucky to just get a week.

I could be wrong of course, I just thought Rioli was aware of Rowell's presence and protected himself whereas Rowell only had eyes for the ball.

Says Berry will face the Bombers

Ugh I wanted an excuse to trade him just to change my structure

I sure don't. Picked him because he can play. Not screwing around with my structure unless circumstances dictate I should.

It worries me how much he struggled in the 2nd half - now suddenly he's all good? Let's hope so...

With Berry playing, all of Rachele, Hayes & Martin will be on my bench again

He hurt his shoulder right at the end of the game, so it's unrelated to his second half. I was surprised to see he played so much on the wing instead of inside mid. He was behind Bailey, Rayner and Scottish Suitcase for CBA's, need to hope they switch that around for the next game.

That doesn't make me feel better

haha yeah just hold him for this week though I reckon, one game that consisted of one bad half is a tiny sample size, could get a better role next game like he did in preseason.

Haha yeah in all seriousness, I'm keen to give him another chance

So easy to trade a combo of:

- Ward + Berry > Lipinski/McDonald/Green + MacDonald ... etc

But I need to see another game from all of them before chasing round 1 outliers ...

We get an extra trade next week if we want to use it, I think the extra game is really useful in figuring out what to do, even two games is too small a sample size but then we have to make of it what we will.

I'll need to get Rachele in at some stage but I'm glad I get another look at Brodie, Xerri, Berry, Ward and even McGovern to see who I'm prepared to let slide.

got Rowell in his sights, locked on the radar, zoned in, no eyes on the ball, just on the player, jumped off the ground and tried to inflict as much pain as possible, old fashioned footy, judged as careless contact. Then graded as medium contact, what would you need to do to attract high contact - decapitation! I'm guessing Toby may have got 8 weeks, Danger perhaps a reprimand. Gotta luv the system

Choppy (Pickett) would have got 10+ for that act ...

Me too#. Get 300 + out of them again on the bench, curtains for a good finish.

At least you have them in your team

Rachele will be very up and down and dependent on kicking a few goals. Through his junior career, practice games and first AFL games he’s always kicked a lot of goals though

He jumped and didn't need to. Duty of care.
