Team Announcements Rd 12

Do we keep Hurn?

Feel like I can't trade out both Whitfield and Hurn.  :-\

Hold Hurn and trade Whitfield

Yeah think that's what I'm gonna have to do RD.

Cheers.

We've got the bye next week so he misses this week, was always missing the week after anyway, and if you're lucky he might be back after that

Whitfield on the other hand is cooked and needs to go

I like the idea of trading Whitfiled to Hately\Clarke and then upgrading Balta to Cogs.

Enough cash leeaft over to upgrade Baker > Fyfe next week.

Only rookies left will be Hore and Duursma at D5 and D6 but they shouldn't cost much to upgrade.

The Demons will have another training session at Casey Fields on Friday where the microscope will be on a defensive trio.

Marty Hore (calf), Jake Lever (ankle) and Harry Petty (knee) will all be looking to complete the session and make themselves available for the clash with the Pies.

“They will all need to do a bit of training on Friday, so they’ll be a test this week,” Elite Performance Manager David Misson told Melbourne Media.

Lockhart is fit and available, but May, KK and Salem are all likely to come in too

Cheers for the update RD. If Lockhart is out of the 26 I might go early on Naish if he gets a call up. I reckon Bolton will cop an omit & that spot will go to Rioli or Naish. It's a desperate move but if all my injury cloud players get a gig + 1 x Whitfield trade I will still only have 17 & 1/4 players (Burgess).

RICHMOND has lost David Astbury and Brandon Ellis to injuries for Friday night's big match against Geelong at the MCG.

Tigers coach Damien Hardwick expected to make three or four changes after last week's upset loss to North Melbourne.

Well that's some good news at least.

Not sure it counts as confirmation but it sounds like Grundy will play. It is only an ankle so in this case it may be that the bye helps a player play rather than the other way around. https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-06-06/pies-star-fit-and-ready-for-heavyweight-fight-of-the-season

"Brodes is fine. He got through the game well after tweaking it a little bit early in the game. We've got a longer week (which) gives us a little bit more time to recover and prepare, and we don't think we'll have a problem there," Buckley said.

Sounds good to me

Superfooty reports Carlton will select Matt Owies (102k m/f) for his first game this weekend

Sounds like they are looking at him to play a small forward pressuring role, so not sure that's ideal for SC, but at this stage we'll take anything we can get!
