Hun reporting that BZT is in rehab with Cox and Reid. Anyone know what is wrong with BZT?

We do not need that.

Yeah that’s a word that will get obscured by the forum.

I thought J. Davey was on the LTI list so he won’t play this season?

Thanks!

1st March not Feb I assume……

Also where are you getting these updates from?

Some info from the media, some from other track watchers I know and some from my own eyes if I go to training.

Hopefully the club puts out their own injury report soon, as most fans will have no idea why player x and y are missing from games if they don’t absorb info from outside sources

I’ve posted and asked before - I am fairly certain that he was placed on the inactive list and he was the reason that we had a spot available for SSP. if that’s the case, doesn’t that mean he can’t play at all this season? Therefore, like Munkara, we shouldn’t expect to see him play this year?

195

The in-active list does rule a player out of AFL level football, but he did say to us training watches that he hope to be back mid season. Does that mean he can only play at VFL level? Or does it mean he can be put back onto the list if there is a spot? I not sure. But he will be injury free by then.

Munkara can play whenever the club feels he is ready. I would think he will play many VFL games.

Yep would have Munkara in same camp as Mosquito in his first year with us, he was still studying at school and mainly played VFL barring injuries.

Munkara will do some exciting stuff at VFL level and I will probably be putting his name up for a debut, when he is likely still weeks/months away from being in contention.

And it’s about right

198

Cox, Guelfi, Langford and Stewart are all back into full training and expected to play some game time in the VFL vs Frankston on Saturday.

Hobbs is 50/50 to play at this stage.

Tsatas is out of the brace but has not started running yet.

Heppell also out of the moon boot

Thanks @All-Star_Bomber_18

I like the fact that Stewart is finally right to go. He’s had a shocking run of it in recent times.

Any news on Caldwell?

200

Wasn’t spotted at training but that’s expected. But no news on severity of the ankle injury

Of the five mentioned, are any realistically a chance of playing round 1?
