Molly1 on BF who seems to be on the money most weeks has the following bad news:

Jamo out for up to 4 weeks
Cloke in for Hartlett
Carlos still out
Anderson a fitness test with Austin to replace

I seriously hope Austin is chosen ahead of Cloke, we can't go into the game with only T-Bird and Bower as our defensive talls. Our forward line produced last week Cloke will just clog it up and make us slow again, 1 step forward, 2 steps back.

Cloke in cos of the collingwood factor

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Just hope we continue in the manner we dismantled the Swannies in the fourth quarter last week. Collingwood may be a little vulnerable after being overrun so comprehensively by the apparently out-of-sorts/hungover/injured Hawks and it would be nice to put a big lead on early and punish them.

Bugger the good close game etc...Behead the Magpie drones.

Huh, is the formula of that factor something like this:

$hit + $hit = $hit

I am not a fan of Cloke, however I can see the logic in Cloke in for Hartett, ie: Cloke to be the 2nd ruck with Kruezer going forward a fair bit.

If it is an abductor that could be longer than 4 weeks, which would be terrible news.

Not great news about Jamo, but thankfully we can save a defender by leaving a water bottle out on the ground to man Travis Cloke.

It looks like Hadley could return after strong showing in VFL:

Cloke had a solid game last weekend kicking five goals. He was a real presence. He also had a shocking moment early on getting himself in a total tangle and mucking up a very easy goal in the square. He ended up trying to back heel it through in a pretty clown-like manner. Caused some laughter. A recall to the seniors, geez I dunno. Maybe it is the Collingwood factor. I understand Jamo's injury is related to his appendicitis. it flared up last week but he didn't have it out. Sounds like that might end up happening in the off season unless it becomes critical and he needs it done straight away. He seemed OK early in the week, so maybe it has flared up again? Who knows.

Mark Riley advises in the press that "Riley said key defender Michael Jamison, a late withdrawal from last Saturday's win over Sydney because of groin tightness, 'should be fine' to play against the Magpies.

"At this time of year, lots of guys play with niggles and they're not quite right and we're going through a bit of that at the moment, as a lot of clubs are, and hopefully we can get over the hump whilst scavenging a few more wins," Riley said.

I hope he does play, we need either Jamo or Austin as a third tall, both can play on tall or small types.

Hadley in place of Bentley sounds good. Hadley in form is IMO clearly at a level above Bentley.

Absolutely agree! Bentley makes me cringe everytime he gets the ball because I am expecting a mistake

As a silver member i upgraded to a reserved seat earlier in the week. Picked up the tickets today and girl at Ticketek said that the game was close to being a sell out. Anyone without a reserved seat may not get in tomorrow night so hurry and book.

gotta love the captains club membership

Very disappointing re Jamo. Hopefully this info may be inaccurate.

Same with Santy. Would love to see him back.

So the Filth have a ready-made excuse now.... of course when we tear them a new a###hole there will be no mention of who Carlton had out

I just heard on 774 news that Stevens is in the mix for selection. Seriously, I hope not. I'd be disappointed if he got up over someone like Hadley who has been busting his nut.
