Concussion - failed test after accidental hit to head Q1. Not mandatory to miss next week. Many players recover quickly and play following week, some still have symptoms into next week and miss.
IN: Heppell*, McKernan
OUT: Z.Clarke, Langford
B: Saad, Ambrose, Redman
HB: McKenna, Hooker, Francis
C: McGrath, Heppell, Shiel
HF: Fantasia, Stringer, Snelling
F: McDonald-Tipungwuti, Brown, Zaharakis
R: McKernan, Merrett, Parish
INT: Hartley, D.Clarke, Gleeson, Guelfi
*If Heppell isnāt right, Myers in.
Is Jok any chance?
Assume in Smack (& Parish OK)
Out Zlarke
Out Hartley- not required against Dogs
In - either Ham or Jok (if we want a relief ruck other than Brown who attempted that yesterday.
If fit - in Heppell out Langford
If not fit - out Hooker in Zerk
If not fit - out Fanta in Begley or Laverde
So it could look like
Saad Francis Ambrose
Gleeson Zerk/Hooker. Redman
Conor Merrett McGrath
Walla Brown Fanta/ Begley/Laverde
Snelling. Stringer. Parish
Smack Shiel Heppell
I/C Guelfi Clarke. Ham/Jok. Zaharakis
Heppell posted on Instagram and seems to be out of the moonboot. Hopefully a good sign of being available this week.
IN - Heppell, Smack
OUT - Langford, Hartley
Though if Hooker is still struggling, may need to rest him and keep Hartley in.
Out: Langford,Hartley
In:smack, Hep
Do the dogs even have that many tall forwards?
Johannisen takes a 3rd bounce, steps around Langford, a fourth bounce, a fifth bounce, from the paintā¦ its home! Party time for the dogs!!
In McKernan, Myers and Baguley (who at least will play like he gives a ā ā ā ā )
Out Langford, Fantasia, Zaharakis all of whom play like they donāt give a ā ā ā ā .
LAV
OUT: Fantasia (cooked - season)
Zaharakis needs a run in the VFL. Heās contributed more on Instagram than on the field recently.
Out: Zlarke, Langford, Hooker
In: Heppell, Smack, Laverde
LIPINSKIā¦ FROM THE PAINT!!!
OH BABY THE BOMBERS ARE IN ALL SORTS!
Dunkley and Crozier both hurt in the last quarterā¦
Really refreshing to hear Shiel and Ambrose call out that our intent just wasnāt there Saturday rather than just trying to deflect and blame it on something else.
We know we have the talent its just about the mindset and intent. Hopefully this reflects on the changes next week.
Need McKernan forward not in the ruck
Hartley ruck ?
OUT: Langford, Hartley, Lethargy
IN: Heppell, Smack, Energy
Whilst I donāt think it was all to blame the short break from what ended up being a taxing game in the heat interstate might have been a factor. And when we had a number of in game injuries it further affected us.
Need to absolutely make sure the boys are fresh and ready to attack the Dogs this week.
Hahaha. Why the ā ā ā ā did he interview that dolt Newman? Unbelievable.
Anything that might put them in doubt for next week?
