question for the medicos cause ive never done a hammy....
if it was a GF and cotchy tweaked a hammy in the 1st qtr,
could he sit in a FP?
I.e. is a minor hammy something you can play for if there is no next week?

I think Chapman won a NS after pinging his hamstring early in the GF and just standing in a FP.

The club must have read my comment and agreed to let Cotch have another week off to make sure he will be OK for the finals series. Could mean a chance for Pickett this week

Watching Cotch playing his 15 minute cameo - he really does attack the football and the ball carrier. So even without good match practice which would improve his overall numbers, he will still impact. So the club can pick his game and play him and break him. If he goes down again before the GF then its Germany for Cotch. Grimes can give him a referral.

Well when the squad is named tonight my guess is we will still be in the dark so prepare for another 24hrs of "will he, wont he".

Wouldn't be dropping Bolton or Stack on a sunny day at the G - they could tear it up. I don't think either have enjoyed the wet conditions of late.

Good point but most weather sites have windy and rain.

Yep 30km winds and 5-10mm of rain according to Weatherzone, may suit our game style but personally I am hanging for some sunshine and dry weather football.

Yup, I'm sick of cowering at the back of standing room, cold, wet, shivering

Harden up champ!

I was at the Eagles game in 2017 (where Rioli kicked goal of the year). Game started in hot conditions (high 20s) and we were struggling at the start. The clouds came over and it started sprinkling and we came into our own. I remember it pissed down and was about 12 degs at the end of the game and I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt because it was so hot at the start!

Did I mention that I’ve ridden to the last three games on my pushbike and arrived, soaking wet?

Towner a smokey to come in and play a very physical defensive role on McGovern. If not, Caddy may get the job.

I watched the VFL game last night. Sheesh Towner played well. Is really replicating his 2017 form. Only question is whether he can translate it to AFL level (actually, the other question is who we drop for him lol)
