Teamsheets have dropped! Early news, it’s Sir Doug Nicholls Round part 2, including the traditional Dreamtime at the G game. A fair bit going on prior to main team selections. Thursday teams were released last night, with the main relevant in being Tom Stewart. For injury news, a few big ones: Jason Horne-Francis has a hamstring injury, but recent news indicates it isn’t as serious as first thought and he could be back after his bye. Macrae has a punctured lung and is listed as 2-3 weeks, though that seems optimistic. Xavier Lindsay was sent to hospital with trouble swallowing and speaking after a heavy hit, but all reports suggest he should play. Finn Callaghan is out for a while with a shoulder injury and is likely a must trade. Keidean Coleman pulled up sore after his game last week and is a good chance to miss. A few rookie debuts to watch: Angus Clarke (Dons), Harry O’Farrell (Blues), Will Hayes (Pies). Hugh Jackson (Port).
Important times to remember:
Thursday Game teamsheets ~6:20pm EST Wed
Weekend Teamsheets ~6:20pm EST Thurs
Sunday games Extended bench selection ~5:00pm EST Friday
GAME 1: Geelong Cats vs Western Bulldogs
Thursday, May 22, 7:30pm AEST GMHBA Stadium Geelong 🌦🌡
Notes: As discussed, Tom Stewart is back in, but it would be a brave coach to trade him in off the bat. Stanley is also in, which could affect players like Blicavs who has been scoring well with extra ruck time.
