Not sure why Foley is coming back through the reserves but great to see him back none the less. Also great to see Griffiths coming in, hopefully he will have a crack at the firsts next week and maybe the RFC in about another 3 weeks. Interesting to see Polak lining up in the backline where he originally played when crossing over to us from Freo. Lets hope he can regain that form, I like him down back better than forward.

Expecting a big game out of Webberly and a decent game from Astbury, these are the players of our future and they need to pressure the regulars players in the RFC for their psoition.

Great to see Astbury has been elevated already, the icing of his ankle at the end of the game must have only been precautionary.
Griffiths named is also fantastic, happy to take it slowly with this guy, make sure his body is 100%

No problem with Foley returning through the reserves, he has hardly any fitness base.

[jackstar is back again]

Griffiths earmarked to play at Richmond within 4-6 weeks

Lets hope Collins can get through this game in one piece as well, we need a fit Collins in our team IMO.

agreed , looked to be a player to me...simply needs some footy under the belt to build some momentum up, at least 2-3 I would have thought

Great news to have Foley, Griffiths and Astbury on the park playing even if it is just for a half to ease them back into footy.

Polak at FB is an odd choice given he's played forward all preseason.

I would like to see Contin play Coburg seniors; not ressies. Better for his development than playing VFL ressies. He's got the body type to handle senior VFL.

Hopefully the side is competitive unlike its preseason form against good sides. North Ballarat is reigning back-to-back premiers don't forget.

So we have no injuries at all by the looks of it

Thursfield and Farmer have leg injuries. But let's hope they're only minor.

Oh yeah, forgot about them!

What's McMahon doing this weekend?  Gone fishing or gardening leave, perhaps?

[Fishfinger]

He'll be doing whatever players do when they're out injured.

What's his injury fishfinger?

[Fishfinger]

Not sure. David Newett said he is injured on SEN last night. Don't think he elaborated.
