Definitely worth a read.

Some of the bigger points
- Bellchambers not expected back until after round 3
- Pavlich listed as "General Soreness" but available for the NAB Challenge game
- ZCLarke listed as not being available before round 1
- Seedsman a chance to play later in the NAB games
- Jelwood "Should be right for Round 1"
- MClarke doubtful for round 1
- Waters "Eagles to decide on surgery in coming days"

Great read, thanks for the link.
Patrick Cripps is an interesting one as he is exactly the kind of hard nut mid the blues need.
The question is can Malthouse afford to give much game time to these young players when we know calton fans are screaming for improved results.
Be watching the kid keenly to see how AFL ready he looks.

Cripps' chances of playing should have increased with Judd out now

Very true, i know they want to play the kid and that seems like the perfect excuse.
