Is Essendon going to give us an accurate timeline for Bellchambers?
Officially, very unlikely.

The Bombers are still very old school in that you don't reveal anything more about injuries than you have to. Even Doc Reid's weekly injury video updates don't tell the real extent.

VEry concerning considering who they just upgraded lol
What do you mean. Ran rings around his brother as a kid apparently (ok thats not true) and taught Corey everything he knows (ok not true either) but potentially could be the second best McKernan to ever play the game (that's probably true) :D

Can anyone tell me the procedure to "drain fluid from the knee"...

a) is this an arthroscope?
b) is this what Mumford has last year?

I mean they may not be that confident in him getting up if they have upgraded him lolz. But then again he may have been first in line regardless. No doubt he along with Jimmy are named

Oh lol i thought you were taking the pi$$ cos mckernan is not rated by most

But yes for sure, it is a worry. Surprising though considering we have Giles.

Wonder if that makes Blicavs more or less appealing seeing he only had 8 hit outs on the weekend so presumably spent most of his time not in the ruck.

Yeah I hear Chris Scott say earlier in the week (could've been on the couch) that Stanley wasn't far off too and that they saw him playing primarily as a ruck rather than forward...so Simpson's out may not impact Blicavs?

I'd imagine just before the Cats game I'd be three quarters of the way through drinking my 'thank goodness I now have cover' beer before violently throwing it up in the air as I spring out of the coach and madly rush to look for a phone/tablet/computer having suddenly realised I have left the Captaincy on him from last week.....

If TBC is out and Mckernan does come in, would cripps to Mckernan via some DPP be a good quick fix ?

I think McKernan's lack of JS would be the main concern. If TBC is out for an extended period would be worthwhile.

Fair call on Mckernan.

Probably better to cop the 0. Wow round 2 donuts! #GG2015
