Essendon's injury update:
Leading into our inaugural AFLW clash with Hawthorn on Saturday at Marvel Stadium, thanks to Liberty, we caught up with Head of Medical Services Megan Smith to provide an update on the health of our list.
Georgia Nanscawen
The inaugural AFLW leadership group member, Georgia is progressing well in her ACL rehab, which she injured in the VFLW Grand Final. She is only six weeks post-surgery so she is in the early stages of rehab.
Jorja Borg
Unfortunately, Jorja fractured her foot in the opening quarter of our practice match against Port Adelaide. This is an estimated 12-week injury so we have moved Jorja to our inactive list. Jorja will be in a boot for the next month and we will re-scan before commencing impact training.
Ellyse Gamble
Ellyse received clearance this week to return to games following her ankle reconstruction. It’s exciting for Ellyse to get the clearance and be available for selection for round one.
Sophie Van De Heuvel
Sophie has also been cleared for round one and will be available for selection following her shoulder reconstruction.
Bella Ayre
Bella is currently recovering from a knee injury and from having Covid. She is in the process of re-loading, and we are aiming for her to return for round three.
Eloise Ashley-Cooper
Eloise is currently recovering from a stress fracture, which has ruled her out for the season.
Jordan Zanchetta
Jordan’s running volume and speed are progressing well following an achilles injury. She is slowly building towards full capacity but won’t be available for selection for round one.
2022 Injury list
Bella Ayre – Short term
Jordan Zanchetta – Short term
Georgia Nanscawen – Season
Eloise Ashley-Cooper – Season
Jorja Borg - Season

I have another personal opinion that may or may not be bogus, trust me I got more wrong than right last year.
On those picking Paige Scott. I am less convinced with her than many others. At a junior level most of the exceptional talents play at least part time mid and average a lot of possessions.
She neither has had significant junior mid time, stats or tackles and was quite low in the pre draft Rookie Me Central draft rankings so may have been a bit of a bolter based on longer term potential.
I am not suggesting not to pick her but to start her as F6 (Emg) if you do have her. If it is a choice I would definitely pay up for Ewings over her even if it means compromising slightly elsewhere.

Good to see. Is this locked behind articles on the AFLW FANTASY site?
Nevermind I found the email
Added onto that is this:
It’s slightly different to the rolling lockout of AFL Fantasy and SuperCoach, so please see below the finer details:

It’s slightly different to the rolling lockout of AFL Fantasy and SuperCoach, so please see below the finer details:
- Captain, Vice-Captain and Switch buttons are locked for the entire round at the start of the round (Thursday 7:10pm). The only thing that is rolling is the Team Builder.
- You will not be able to change your captain or vice-captain or switch a player from the bench to on field via the swap button.
- If you want to swap a player (who is yet to play) from the bench to on field, you will need to do this via the Team Builder by removing them from the bench and adding them on field.
- If you don’t have a captain and vice-captain selected, your most expensive player will be the default captain for Round 1.
- Players whose team is playing that day will be locked from the team builder at the first game of the day, regardless of the time of their game.
- You will not be able to remove players or bring in players from those sides in the team builder

Think I've decided not to risk Garner. Tough spot there. No one else in Forwards has her capacity but if she's stuck forward for a couple of games early her price will crash and I think the way the game is structured that pretty much puts you out of business. Think I'll roll the dice on Jess Fitzgerald having a breakout, and use the funds to get Evans up to Tyanna Smith. All-in on discount Saints midfield.

I have watched plenty of Kangaroos games and (to my frustration) Garner is never stuck forward despite the teams inability to score against good teams and her obvious ability to be a 2-3 goal a game forward in big matches while Emma King gets thrown forward while being nowhere near the threat.
In games at NHO last year Garner kicked (I think) the first goal of the game both times (or at least 1 in each first quarter) and was intercepting turnovers at CHB within the space of 10-15 mins, later, all while being a first choice Centre Bounce midfielder.
That said she is no must have, like any gun you have to hope several of those you don’t pick start slowly enough that you jump on at a discount, and Garner was one that did so in 2022A.
