Clearly Riley Jones meant they'd be back in the stands....

FYI, for all our injury worries, I'm pretty impressed with the fitness staff re Charlie who I was worried might turn into a Joe Daniher scenario, or worse. And also Doc who has made a pretty remarkable transformation from where he was at the beginning of pre-season. And getting Crippa back to his best (although he seems to have dropped off a bit in the past month). And Sam Walsh's recovery.

I'm more critical of the McGovern, Williams soft tissue injuries but I suspect their own preparation is not at the same level as the others. And even if it is, they're coming from further back in terms of their historical body conditioning.

Pitto, McKay, Cunningham couldn't really be blamed on the fitness team. And I'd probably throw in Marchbank as well. I'm hoping Marchbank falls more into the Charlie success story category after a horrific run of luck with his neck and then knee. I'm hopeful that once he gets a good run at it, he will be ok from there.

Weitering on sen today said he's on track for round 16 (saints) or 17 (eagles) so that list isn't accurate.

Would be huge if he got back for the saints game.

As per my previous posts, Jacob also stated he could have gone for the ball rather than the man…he wouldn’t be on the sidelines now if he had chosen that option.

Herald Sun saying shock early return from McKay.
Anyone got the full article?

Like many of us (I assume anyhow) I played footy when I was young (not very well mind you) and I always had the view if I chose to bump I better win the battle ... Jacob chose a pitt bull to bump and he lost

People criticising Weiters for bumping are ridiculous.

Imagine a team of players worried about initiating contact because they might get injured.

There's probably some fans who were too young to recall seeing Marchbank play LOL

Yeah , listened to that interview BJ . Jeez Weiters is an impressive speaker . You could listen to the bloke all day . No doubt it was a late hit . A split second decision that you can't take back . No big deal for me BJ , just one of those things that happens a zillion times in a high pressure footy match .

Where is that list from? The list on the CFC website was last updated on 30 May.

Weiters technique to bump was all wrong.

Not only was it half hearted, which you should never do in a contest, but he left himself open to have DeGoeys shoulder go across and push back Weiters' shoulder.

You can't take it back, only learn from it.
