Thursday – News

Early News: The biggest news this week is that Jordan De Goey has been ruled out. Richmond will also be without Sam Cumming, while Sydney rookie W. Edwards is expected to spend an extended period on the sidelines after his nasty injury. For Essendon, cash cow Robey has been ruled out for around three weeks with a knee injury, while Darcy Parish is listed as a test. Early reports also suggest Nic Newman is unfortunately likely to miss the remainder of the season, creating another headache for DT coaches. Z. Uwland was rested last week but is expected to return for the Suns. For Brisbane, Dayne Zorko is set to return, Hugh McCluggage has a minor calf niggle but is expected to play, while Coleman will miss under HIA protocols. Rory Laird, Karl Amon and Darcy Parish are all listed as tests, while Dalton is expected to miss one week. Side note: I’ll likely be late with tonights teams as Im returning from a camping trip :). Apologies in advance.
