LTI list, does this mean Smack plays in the forward pocket and rucks for 10mins each quarter. 2 ruck men in the same team, can this be done at EFC. I say bring it on.
PS. Myers is one of my favourite players, so here’s hoping for a quick and full recovery.

McKernan is in the squad vs the Suns, so I say keep playing him in this role and if he keeps kicking goals, why wouldn’t we.
At the risk of being repetitive, he has not had much of a go against AFL competition other than as a first ruck or in times gone by as a key position player.
As a 3rd tall mid who gives a ruck chop out, I’m very curious how he will go without the pressure of a full time key big man role.
However a big man trying to run in the Mackay heat/humidity at 3 in the afternoon, we may have to temper our expectations. But if he has positive forward impact contributing or helping kick goals, I say keep him in the side for the first four rounds if he is making a positive contribution and that is his chance to see if he is a keeper, at least until if and when there is another LTI where we are short on big men.
I was just reading this and saw a dog called davids memory runnig paying like 20 bucks and i figured it must be an omen. Backed it each way. It hit the front and tripped over its own feet not a lie.

Has he had a bit of a setback or is his recovery just going slow?
Has been 5 weeks since the injury and it was initially thought he would miss 6-8 weeks but now I see he is listed as still being 4-6 weeks away
I think it was last weeks injury report with Crowey where he said Myers will be available in 4 weeks so there should only be a few weeks to go. Unless I completely misheard that.
I think you’re right Aceman. Just checked March 21 BTV injury update and Crowe said 2 more weeks in a splint and then a few weeks after that as he begins to handle the footy again.
The Carlton game this Sunday will be a day short of 7 weeks since he got injured. It was described at the time it occurred as a 6-8 week recovery time.
He should definitely be available for a run around against Collingwood VFL on April 23rd and put his healed hand up for selection against Melbourne in round 6. Especially if we are leaning towards making a few more changes than we ordinarily would due to the challenging 4 day break.
The positive is that he won’t have de-conditioned as much as if it had been a leg injury of some sort.
I don’t think he’s an automatic inclusion when he is fit. I think the midfield at the moment has a good balance of pace and grunt. I think bring him in, also hocking for howlett upsets the balance as well.
