Can't really make any decisions about which way to step until there's more clarification about who misses and for how long.

Currently dealing with Fisher, Sicily, Gawn and Heeney. Fisher with an ankle injury, what exactly is it and what's the prognosis? Same with Gawn, don't trust much of the news from the Dees camp after last years Oliver fiasco. Sicily news is non existent too, last I heard was that he's avoided surgery, but no real timeline for his return in place, Heeney is at least somewhat known, get's off or is gone for 1 week.

Going on current news I'll be wearing a donut in the forward line, I can avoid it by trading out Fisher > Cameron (not keen) and I'll be fielding 3 rookies, which is not ideal, but have 2 trades left. I could trade out Sicily > McKercher and Fisher > Caldwell and field 2 rookies with no real damage to the teams scoring but I'll only have 1 trade left. Would be spewing if both of the outs were back the following week. Then there's the Gawn conundrum, hold or trade?

Gov update for those that have him :-

Jeremy McGovern injury update

The key defender remains in Melbourne following an incident against the Demons at the MCG on Sunday

The West Coast Eagles confirm defender Jeremy McGovern has suffered a minor punctured lung and fractured rib from an incident in Sunday’s clash with Melbourne at the MCG.

McGovern was unable to fly home with the team on Sunday evening after being sent to hospital for scans.

He was discharged from hospital on Sunday evening but remains in Melbourne with a club staff member and will do so until medically cleared for air travel.

“The club is working on arrangements for Jeremy to return home as soon as possible following medical advice,” General Manager Football Gavin Bell said.

“Gov’s health and wellbeing is our priority and his return to playing will be determined in due course, but at this stage we are not expecting him to be available against Brisbane on Sunday.”

So punctured lung also to go with a fractured rib - can't see him playing for a few weeks with our season done & dusted.

I have 4 of those 6. Anyone here have all of them?
I have 5. The only donut I'm looking at is in the backline where I have McGovern and Fisher. I have 2 trades left and am really only playing for a very unlikely weekly prize.
Although with the chaos, having 22 premos in the next few weeks might be my best chance of a weekly. Swim against the current.

Well you would think a vertebrae fracture would be more than a week but the only info I have seen is from the Suns advising last week that he would miss the weekend. No mention of any time period after that. Nothing on BF injury thread or Week 18 thread.
I read 2-3 somewhere within the AFL app
