Ouch!
Mitch spent a good part of the game drawing his defender away from Stringer and Daniher. He also provided a good marking target a little further up the ground. Of course once Daniher cam back Brown was going to get less of the footy. Heāll be missed for the next few weeks.

Thatās terrible luck. Has been more than useful.
What was the latest on Stewart? He canāt be too far off.
Brown might find his position gone by the time heās healed.
Joe should hopefully ready to take more minutes in his more suited roaming CHF role and Smack will be ready in a few weeks to take back the deep forward role.
No doubt he will be required again though considering our luck with injuries to key forwards.

Haha, donāt you dare replace him with Smack just yet. Same injury as Riewoldt and he missed 3 games. Heāll probably be back before Smack. And he can keep his running loads at AFL level the whole time.
Speaking of cursed, Laverde the obvious replacement and just in time to take on Geelong.

Brown is going to be a loss. Seems to be a maligned player but Iām not sure why. His work rate is sensational and is adept in the air and on the ground. Is a very handy player and will be missed the next few weeks especially with McKernan out. Hopefully his absence provides opportunity for Laverde to show what heās got.

For the VFL watchers how far is Begley away if only for the ā ā ā ā ā & giggles of having Begley & Baguley in our forward line

Heās a couple of weeks at least in my opinion.
I think this weekends game will be his first full hitout and heās not in great touch.
Laverde kicked 6 last weekend and heās not even under consideration so itās s tough side to break into at the moment.
Stewart is still not playing VFL. He played a half against Frankston 2 wks ago (and went pretty well), but sat out after half time with ice on his groin. The injury report said they are going to rest him again and then bring him on slowly, so sounds like he is still quite a way off.
Yeah I was at that Frankston game and he looked like Wayne Carey.
I was very impressed with how he attacked the ball in the air.
I hope he comes back soon because I still think heās got a future with us.

Yesā¦ Laverde might get first crack at Browns position but I wanna see Frang at least training with the fwds with a view to getting a go.Frang, String, and Joey all have x factorā¦ I wanna see a XXX fwd line penetrating long and hardā¦ because I am sad and donāt get out of the house muchā¦

I havenāt been his biggest fan ,- far from it actually, but he has had a fairly good season thus far.
Iāll give credit where itās due and his off game yesterday was maybe attributed to his injury.
Anyway heās shown he can play well enough at times but yesterday was more in what weāve seen more often than not. That said hope he recovers and gets back to where he was against Melbourne.
His place goes to Francis (I hope) and maybe swing Hooker forward in his place.
I hope not. Hooker is vital for us down back. Just solidifies our defensive structure. But I hope Francis comes in but I reckon Lav will.

Replace him with Langford and let Langers play HFF aka his natural position
Bad luck, heās been in good form.
Yes he has played well but did not do much on Anzac Day
The pressure was really on
Straight swap for Orazio
