And Jack Trengove picking up a cheeky 130 points against richmond.

Ziebell- 147, Bastinac- 126, Cunnington- 83, McDonald- 73

all showing good signs in their loss to carlton.

Current injury list for Svalbard:

Christensen (12)
Clay smith (TBC)
Goodes (6-8)
Dawes (Test)
Grant (1-2)
Gumbleton (12)
Lee (Test)

Biggest problem is definitely the forward, especially considering Higgins is being nursed back.

Quick update after NAB 2:

Hawks vs North: Cunnington Shredded, while McDonald and Jacobs put up solid performances. Bastinac and Ziebell in the dog house (albeit it, with limited TOG for both).

Pies vs Richmond: After a decent game, Armstrong backs it up with a stinker. Classic.

Lions vs Suns: Hanley chopped up, Golby slightly under par. Lynch put up a reasonable score, despite kicking 1.4, and Nicholls slowly getting back into it returning from injury.

Essendon vs Port: Pittard shredded, which was nice to see.

Dogs vs freo: Stevens put up a good score, and  Higgins made a reasonable effort being eased in as the sub. Honeychurch is a little disappointing, and Gumby with twang :(

Swans vs Eagles: Gaff chopped up.

Melb vs Geelong: Poor effort from trengove after a solid week in rd 1 and grimes going average, while allowing Bartel to slot 2. Caddy pulled out a decent 120+ though, while Hawkins just kind of flopped at sub 50.

Giants vs Saints: Hickey sharing the ruckload with longer, and picking up no possessions was not very useful. Bugg at 125 is impressive though, while Ward at 82 could have been worse. Hoskin-elliott a little average. Haynes was solid as was Kelly in his first taste of AFL football.

Basically, a bit of a turbulent round for Svalbard... probably would have put up a bit of an average score :P

[Ziplock]

With Hickey gone for 8-12 and Nicholls with a suspected PCL, Svalbards ruck stocks are thinning, relying currently on Giles to play week in, week out.

While we have the utmost faith in him, it could get rough.

[elephants]

Wow, lucky that's a damn deep ruck-line. You guys needed it!

Haha, it's actually ridiculous. Two number 1 rucks in their respective teams go down with LTIs within a week of eachother.

the polar bears are playing you this week, is it a sign?

[Justin Bieber]

We've already begun our invasion of Svalbard ;).

[Ziplock]

Well, the polar bear ate the norweigan kid on svalbard, so I'd say it has no implications for our match up :P

[Justin Bieber]

Does this mean Svalbard and Norway will begin to team up and try to overpower the might of the Polar Bears? :P

And shots being fired :-X. Poor kid though and the family :-\.

[Ziplock]

Svalbard would like to farewell Pittard and Reid and thank them for their services to the club.

And we'd like to welcome Steve Johnson!

as well as, in a separate trade, Trent McKenzie!
