Warnie looks at a few of the key notes such as injuries and substitutes along with any key Fantasy stats of relevance from each game.
Thursday
Adelaide v Carlton
Marc Pittonet copped a head knock and saw plenty of blood. He was subbed out with an eye injury.
Adam Saad spent time on the pine with hamstring tightness.
Crows | Ned McHenry (4th) | Jake Soligo (tactical) |
Blues | Josh Honey (2nd) | Marc Pittonet (eye) |
Friday
Fremantle v Gold Coast
Sam Switkowski hurt his calf.
Dockers | Will Brodie (2nd) | Sam Switkowski (calf) |
Suns | Alex Sexton (4th) | Bailey Humphrey (tactical) |
Richmond v Sydney
Joel Amartey hurt his hamstring which saw Will Gould (35) get his first run at AFL level after more pre-season bench appearances than any player ever!
Jack Riewoldt saw a lot of blood flow from his head early in the game. He had some staples put in.
Tigers | Maurice Rioli (3rd) | Trent Cotchin (tactical) |
Swans | Will Gould (2nd) | Joel Amartey (hamstring) |
Saturday
Brisbane v North Melbourne
Harry Sheezel (96) spent some time on the bench getting his thumb treated but was also sore from a corkie. Clarkson said he won’t be resting. It will be a watch this week, though. Sheezel’s ton run stopped, but he was still North’s top scorer.
Jy Simpkin (48) was subbed out with a hand injury after a dominant start. He will have surgery and miss at least one. The Roos are hoping it is only 1-2 weeks.
Lions | Jarrod Berry (4th) | Jarryd Lyons (tactical) |
Kangaroos | Hugh Greenwood (2nd) | Jy Simpkin (hand) |
Essendon v Melbourne
Calvin’s No.1 pick Clayton Oliver (108) copped attention from Will Setterfield (100). This was eased off later in the game with a 53 point quarter for Oliver thanks to 20 disposals.
Charlie Spargo was left groggy after a bump in the second. Harrison Jones was subbed with an ankle knock.
Bombers | Nick Hind (3rd) | Harrison Jones (ankle) |
Demons | James Jordan (HT) | Charlie Spargo (concussion) |
Port Adelaide v Western Bulldogs
Josh Bruce was subbed out after a bump with sore ribs.
How about the last quarters from some of the Dogs. Quarter splits were interesting to read. Marcus Bontempelli: 38, 23, 30, 9; Jack Macrae: 27, 36, 12, 11.
Jason Horne-Francis had 41 (of his 67) in the last quarter.
Power | Jackson Mead (3rd) | Scott Lycett (tactical) |
Bulldogs | Toby McLean (4th) | Josh Bruce (ribs) |
Sunday
Geelong v West Coast
Reuben Ginbey copped a poke in the eye, studs in the face, a corkie… and was pretty banged up. The Eagles subbed him in the third and said he was ok. Hopefully that’s all the rest he needs.
Tyson Stengle looked to have broken his wrist.
Cats | Brandon Parfitt (HT) | Tyson Stengle (wrist) |
Eagles | Connor West (3rd) | Reuben Ginbey (tactical) |
GWS Giants v Hawthorn
Chad Wingard bit his tongue. Went to hospital and needed it stitched together.
Tom Green will be looked at by the MRO for a dangerous tackle. He also copped some attention from Conor Nash in the second half (note: Finn Maginness was dropped for this game).
Giants | Harry Rowston (3QT) | Adam Kennedy (tactical) |
Hawks | Cam Mackenzie (HT) | Chad Wingard (tongue) |
Collingwood v St Kilda
Jordan De Goey (illness) was a late out. He was replaced by Will Hoskin-Elliott.
Dan McStay tore his finger tendon in the first quarter.
Taylor Adams, fresh off his FWD status, may have a question asked by the MRO.
Anthony Caminiti could be cited for a strike behind play.
Magpies | Tom Wilson (QT) | Dan McStay (finger) |
Saints | Jack Bytel (3QT) | Zaine Cordy (tactical) |
