Rd 15 Team Announcements:

[Ringo]

Couple of injured players looking likely to retuen:

Adelaide: Sloane, Laird, Lynch and Brown are all chances to take on West Coast at Adelaide Oval on Saturday. It would be Sloane's first game since round four if the star midfielder is cleared to play.
Brisbane: Mitch Robinson just needs to pass a fitness test to play
Collingwood: Reid and hamstrung quartet Elliott, Moore, Varcoe and Smith could return to the selection mix
Richmond: Astbury to return from the ankle he injured against Port Adelaide in round 12. Prestia is the other possible inclusion; he is expected to be available this week, but given he last played in round seven and has only managed four AFL games this year, it remains to be seen if he'll come straight back in.
St Kilda: Expect Geary to return from his left calf strain. Rice should be available too.Sydney: McVeigh trained over the club's bye week and will face the Tigers on Thursday night.

Tom McDonald has just said that he is 50/50 to play this week

His stement to confirm.
Melbourne swingman Tom McDonald says he's 50-50 to face St Kilda on Sunday.

McDonald copped a heavy blow in last week's loss to Port Adelaide and says recovering from a lung injury.

“I’m probably 50/50. It’s pretty much a bruised lung and a bit like a corky,” he said.

“I didn’t break any ribs, which was good â€" it’s more about being able to have full use of your lungs and not being at risk, if you reinjure them again. So, I feel really good.

“I’ve got no pain from the incident, and it’s been more of an internal thing, and I’m just making sure that I’m right to play this week or next week or whenever it might be.”

“But I actually feel fine, so it’s a bit of a frustrating injury.”

So a lung injury which explains everything.

So we probably need to factor in given Dees do not play till Sunday.

Fark #1 also has Andrews! Might be in a bit of trouble haha


Was looking a bit more at #3's team,

SMartin at R2 (no Grundy)
JPK at M8
Gunston at F5
Fritsch at F6

Only Holman, Ahern, Tsmith and Cole as cover

So on paper his team isn't perfect yet is right up there haha

For the record, teams 4, 5, 7, 9 and 11 also have Tmac and Treloar.

I'm keeping a very close eye on these teams given that I am number 6!  :) 

Hoping McDonald either doesn't play or his scoring is limited by the injury.  I only have to deal with Treloar at the moment which is headache enough.  Playing Fristch at F6 unless I upgrade.  Still deciding.

Great news for Trengove. Fantasy aside, I hope he does well

[Ricochet]

“He won’t play. He had a scope on his wrist to see what’s going on there.
We haven’t got the results yet. We’re losing forwards left, right and centre, so we will have to find a way.”
