No Bauer again. Given up on him

No Bauer again. Given up on him

Why?

He's injured, quad

You want them to play him injured?

No because they said he would be likely to play and again he isn’t. I’ve given up caring about him because he can’t get on the park. Will tune back in after 3-5 vfl games in a row

He trained on Thursday and during training "tweaked" something after about an hour's training.  He went off for about 10 mins and then came back and did most of the training.  Looked good and his skills were sharper than last week.  Gut feel is that they are leaving him out as a precaution and if he trains fully next week will play then.

Bombers get two via a free kick and then our defenders not going the basic spoil .

Young down clutching his right knee. Play stopped. Carried off by two trainers.

So that's another injury  .

Another goal on transition. Olden goal 

Rich  4.0-24
Ess   2.1-13

15 min Q1

[one-eyed]

We've got defender Brindley and forward Davidson doing the CB ruck and the Bombers ruckman has now realised he just needs to punch it forward to gift the Dons easy clearances. Bombers with the last two goals.

24 - 25

Kosi has been pushed into defence.
