Wow - poor guy.

Rat's job security has certainly increased now

Off to see a foot specialist in Queensland and the Cats should get more info in the next 24-48 hours.

Surely the fact he has a broken foot is confirmed by "Jones fracture" in parentheses?

Unless a Jones fracture is merely the suspected diagnosis?

Ryan missing again makes it hard to pick Young - really wanted to see the 2 of them in the same team to get some more data on the kick in situation at Freo

Yep, plus no Jackson doesn't help the Darcy selection, would have liked another game to see the ruck split.

Jason Castagna has retired, and not too soon.

Clarke a 22 lock now?

 

[Rowsus]

Clarke a 22 lock now?

Improves his chances, but doesn't lock him into the 22,

 

[Socrates2]

Clarke a 22 lock now?

Has no bearing on the side as Castagna was not getting a game ever again.
He was contracted, that's the only reason he wasn't de-listed.

 

[sethlad]

Clarke a 22 lock now?

Different role completely:
"Clarke, who played three senior games in his debut season of AFL football last year, showcased his pace, running ability, work ethic, composure and pinpoint disposal.

Playing the high half-forward role perfected by his mentor at Richmond, Kane Lambert, in three Tiger premierships, the lively left-footer created many opportunities for teammates and strongly pushed his case for selection in the season-opener against Carlton with that top-class display."

Lachie Neale trained strongly after suffering a corked quad and dislocated finger against Sydney last Friday, while Cal Ah Chee (quad) will miss some time after picking up an injury last week.

Good news for those keen on Neale.

Ah Chee injured is helpful for Wilmot/McKenna possibly.

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Gardner to miss the start of the season. Could mean Bruce plays in defence.

Some rumours that Jack Bowes hurt his calf hence why rested in the 2nd half of the practice game v Haw but nothing confirmed.

Some rumours that Jack Bowes hurt his calf hence why rested in the 2nd half of the practice game v Haw but nothing confirmed.

It's officially AFL preseason where every relevant player now has rumours about an injury. Some will be true, many will be false

ADELAIDE is uncertain when young defender Josh Worrell will return from a hamstring injury.

The 21-year-old was hurt during Adelaide's win against Fremantle last Friday in a match simulation hitout in Perth, after also injuring the same hamstring earlier in the pre-season.

Bad luck for the kid, does that open up an opportunity for anyone else who's supercoach relevant?

 

[Shannon]

Unfortunately the news isn't so good for Darcy Gardiner, who has had a setback as he eyes a return from off-season shoulder surgery, while Cal Ah Chee will miss four weeks with a quad strain.

So Gardiner in doubt for round 1 along with Ah Chee missing the start of the year.

Seems even more likely Oliver and Trac wont play in the midfield now 😂

Follow up tweet. Looks likely Viney will still play round 1.
