Fyfe has the double whammy of tribunal issues & shoulder problems. On the first count he should be ok (touchwood) but the shoulder is a huge concern & Freo play on Sunday. What are the contingency plans? For those with SJ as well this could be the death knell for the season (yes, that's me), I have ample depth but cannot afford 2 mids to be out, this really can be a cruel game at times.

What options do you have as far as bench mids and DPP players you could swing in? If you have money and a trade or tweo up your sleeve I'd be tempted to ditch SJ and cover Fyfe if they're both out. Fyfe hopefully back soon/not out in the first place.

No trades unfortunately, but can swing Danger into the mids via Shenton & play Pav. Acres is my only cover at this stage, if he doesn't get up then it could be season over.

Cross your fingers your opponent also gets burned, Pav turns around his form, and only one or neither of Fyfe/SJ are out. Honestly in that situation don't even worry about it, it's out of your hands now.

True, I've probably done my dash but thems the breaks, really needed the week off but fell agonisingly short. Something tells me it's over for SC 2014.  :'(

Cheer.....don't have but my opponent does. Sorry I know that doesn't help you.

He's a warrior, it's at home, against the Hawks, we need to cement a top four position. He will play.

Cleared at the tribunal, that's the first hurdle. Just realised I will be copping a donut if he's a late withdrawl, Shenton plays early so will be locked out from swinging in Danger.

I highly doubt that, he was playing with one wing. I suspect Ross is just being Ross because they're playing the Hawks this week, anyone else and Fyfe would be having the week off....

Scans have cleared Fyfe of any damage. He will play this week.

Lemmens and Acres will tear it up this weekend  ;) They're the secret weapons I've hidden away all year waiting for a chance to unleash them.
