Supercoachpaige flagging Swan is in moonboot and in doubt on Facebook

Sore ankle for Swan - VERY confident of him playing this week, trying to take weight of ankle

Scharenberg WILL return this Sunday in VFL
Sidey could be 2 weeks away, pending good results of scan on thumb

They were confident about TAdams when he was in a moonboot. I'd expect Swan to get up though

obv he's still got $ to make when he comes back, but wondering if anyone knows what sort of hammy it was?

Nice work Adam. Will be interesting to see who comes in for Sloane

Nice work Adam. Will be interesting to see who comes in for Sloane

no one set to return for Adelaide this week, so maybe a full game for that M Crouch guy that came on for him?
