[elephants]

so it looks to me that everyone doesn't have any urgent needs they want addressing.

hmm

Roughead - PCL
Yarran - Calf
Selwood - Plantar Fascitis

thats 20% of my team injured in the preseason.

Matt Crouch for Jelwood, done deal

I'll have to intervene here. Why do we want to give Holz the best player on the planet?

[Toga]

Well with Jaensch retiring we could use another lil bit of time to suss our options :P

[Memphistopheles]

If it was a genuine free-for-all trade period not a 'only trade if you can justify it on positions' then I'd be interested.

[Holz]

Vin we picked up Jordan de Goey for the dillos 2 years ago.

looks like he was a good pick

sadly not at the club anymore :(

London's Jesse Lonergan also got injured though.

Both ex-Brewers   :-X

will be annoying to lose to a half strength Dublin than.

im looking like Mexico 2015. Will struggle early but probably do enough to win a majority of games. Come home strong in the second half.

my healthy 18 looking in real trouble if Selwood and jetta dont get up. Weitering might Debut in the utility spot.

During the trade period most teams are hellbent on improving their best XV only but neglects the depth.

Injuries happen, Christchurch rises.

Injuries happen, Christchurch rises.

Most teams pushing for a flag are hellbent on going old, but neglect their core of 22-28.

Retirings happen, Christchurch falls.

Sandi, Monty, Mitchell, Mcveigh, Boyd, Wil Minson, Watson

Finally some good news for this thread.

RICHMOND recruit Chris Yarran has backed up claims of a shock early return from injury, showcasing his improved fitness with a strong training run on Sunday morning.

Yarran was all but ruled out for the first third of the season just three weeks ago by coach Damien Hardwick, but his touch at Punt Road Oval suggested otherwise.

Teammate Bachar Houli has even suggested Yarran could return for the Tigers' blockbuster season opener against his former club Carlton in just 18 days.

That remains unlikely, given Hardwick's firm stance that the Tigers would not rush Yarran back until he had done the required work to play, but he has clearly made quick progress in the past three weeks.

On Sunday, Yarran completed the full 90-minute training session at Punt Road Oval, moving well and receiving no special treatment for his troubled calf, which he injured twice over the summer.

He kicked well on both feet, took part in all agility work and tackling and wasn't protected from any contact drills.

Star teammate Jack Riewoldt said the 25-year-old had also made strong progress with his physical conditioning.

"At the moment he's tracking along nicely; he's doing a lot of extra hard work just to catch up," Riewoldt said after training on Sunday.

"He's got behind unfortunately just because he's had a couple of niggling calf injuries, but he's on top of those at the moment and he's looking really fit.

"I'd love to see him out there as soon as possible, but we'll do what's best for Chris and his body.

"There's no point rushing him back for round one or two or whenever."



Proably still lose to London somehow but great news puts some massive competition for defence spots with Rance Weits Grundy Hansen all firing and Birchall just resting up for a huge 2016. Might see a few get a spot on the utlity bench.

[JBs-Hawks]

A few midfield struggles early at Seoul.

Swallow, Shiels, Myers all missing.

Clayton Oliver looking good though for the round 1 rising star nomination though!

[Holz]

Kinda regret kennedy over oliver. Early days though

[Nige]

Beams and Matho won't be lining up Round 1 for Cairo, we're just praying for no more injuries.

[Toga]

Beijing being decimated :(

Jaensch and Thurlow for the season, Zorko, Christensen, Petracca all unlikely for Round 1... Lucky our depth is as good as it's ever been!
