With Treloar out, and looking at CBAs.

Ed Richards 20/98.5. 0-13% CBAs 5/84.2. 31-49% CBAs 7/100.6. 50+% CBAs 8/105.7

Sanders 14/62.9 non sub 10/73.1. Non sub only. 23-29% CBAs 5/64.4. 31+% CBAs 5/77.8

Garcia 11/68.4 non sub 10/70.1. Non sub only 0-4% CBAs 4/73. 21-39% CBAs 6/68

Richards has a bit of FTB (Flat Track Bully) about him, so could go large in Rnd 1 against North, but be back to normal after that.

Just on Reid

The young star completed several tests with fitness staff before heading to the rooms and did not return as the players completed three 20-minute periods of match play.

The Eagles confirmed late on Friday that Reid was continuing to be assessed with a sore lower leg.

The former No.1 pick was on a modified training program leading up to Christmas as he managed disrupted scar tissue from an old lower-leg injury. He also spent time on the sidelines after a knock to the head in training.

Ok, this preseason is already not boding well for my season. It would seem that even appearing in an early preseason draft side is a death knell.

Reid, Phillipou, Lynch, English, Marshall, Bolton, Daniel and pretty sure a couple more already :LOL:

Treloar injury definitely makes an interesting battle between Kennedy and Sanders if either takes the spot. Albeit would be short lived assuming Treloar gets back but with his soft tissue history that's not a given.

Feels like this preseason is already extremely hectic on the injury front.

"Gold Coast star Sam Flanders is dealing with a back injury which has halted his pre-season after a flying start to training.
Flanders, 23, was the pre-Christmas pre-season darling after dominating the 2km time trial and imposing himself on the track.

But the breakout midfielder has battled a back issue since Christmas that has limited his training minutes and could impact his availability for the February 20 hitout against Brisbane and Collingwood – and potentially the Suns’ Opening Round clash against Essendon.

Opens the door for Jedd Busslinger for round 1 - impressed in the VFL last year, went pick 13 in the 2022 draft.

Draft profile :-

SNAPSHOT: “The leading key defender in the pool, Jedd Busslinger stands as one of the few prospects to have played senior State League football this season, looking comfortable with the higher intensity and bigger bodies”

As the standout tall defender amongst the draft crop, Jedd Busslinger has performed well at every level he has played over the last two years, playing as a bottom-ager in the WA Under 19s side last season, and then making the step up to WAFL League in 2022. Busslinger’s quality is obvious for those that watch him and he makes his games count, highlighted with Under 18s All-Australian selection despite playing just two Under 18s Championships games.

If jones is out 8-10 weeks, means he comes back around Round 4-6. Really line ball whether Busslinger has enough time to generate enough cash. If I remember properly, Jones id a super fit individual- the sort of player you would be backing to come back earlier rather than later. Might still be viable, and the list of defender rookie options is not big, so will definitely keep eyes open.

I'm not sure if 'scared of needles' extends to super fitness!
