I wouldn't assume Elijah is available, also unsure on Cottrell.
Add Boyd to the list though.
Elijah will be serving the secret 6 weeks.
How Austin could bring him into the club knowing this was the case is unbelievable.
We would have been better off keeping one of the injury prone players

is this gossip or pretty broadly accepted as the truth? was he busted in WADA testing or just by the Club?
i went to see a fews blues players do an auskick kinda thing at MacLoud Footy club bc my friends have a very young kid in the club system*.
Lij, Cinc, HOF and one of the coaches were there. when i was walking out to the car park Lij and Cinc were looking for Ollie. told them he’d gone waking off to the other car park bc if just been there. i totally forgot Lij was having time out. he seemed up and about, a bit wired and dancing on a pin head if anything the way he does in interviews. it’s hard to tell, as someone who spent 50 years masking ADHD i know people can hide mental health issues same way they can mask neurodivergence traits, (by avoiding situations, high flying careers etc in case of neurodivergence).
would make sense if he is sanctioned by club. can’t see how WADA or AFL could be doing it without it being very f’ing obvious to players at every other club. anyhow if it is this i hope it’s a lesson to Lij and he gets no more chances. he’s letting the team down our HF line has been dismal of late. flowering dismal. surely Motlop goes to the twos for some form building and decision making drills. Cotts just got a second injury so won’t be seeing him for a few more weeks.
Orazio or Cinc could play a role at HF. Walshy doesn’t have the form ATM to be playing a HF role
running thru the middle as defensive run and outside receiver but in his 2023 Finals form he would nail it. Williams more pocket i think, doesn’t have the tank for HF and don*s HBs and Mids will need minding on their transition run out of our F50 if we try and play that territory game where they tease the fans with 15 minutes of potential goal scoring only to see the opposition kick three lazy fast transition goals on the fast break with Weiters left bobbleheading wondering what just happened.
it’s not like we are that hard to work out.
Parish has been named. is Setters playing? expect him to get 42 if he is. i’m really worried out mids are not clicking, i can’t even bring myself to watch the replay of Giants game. i try to watch the loses not just the wins on replay to figure out who’s good, who’s out of form and who’s getting very weird playing instructions (whole team sometimes, it’s like there’s an anti-decision and ball-killer spell cast on the whole team sometimes, only George Hewitt and sometimes Crippa seems to be immune in 2025!).
i listened on radio and even rode my bike during 2nd qtr and half time break to Marvel expecting to buy a ticket when got there but every time i nearly did Giants piled on goals so i rode home instead. was like there was kryptonite buried on the 50m arcs or something. our march winners all went to water.
* (his mum takes him to Blues games but he goes for pies bc his mates do, doesn’t want her to take him to pies games, good lad! smart!! he loves to play but hates to watch, a natural young carlton fan of the 2000s era! who would wanna watch this torturous juggling act of confusing plug a hole or open a bigger hole shit we dish up week in and week out unless playing Wect Coast of Nord)
