Bradshaw Drops Out

Big $259k Brisbane Lions forward Daniel Bradshaw will not play this weekend due to a hamstring injury he sustained 2 weeks ago.

Bradshaw, who is owned by over 18,000 DT coaches, was surprisingly named in the Lions side to face Collingwood this weekend having missed the club's last game.

Brisbane coach Michael Voss said, "Braddy hasn't come up. We ended up giving him a run around on Wednesday night and he got through the training session alright but we wanted to find out how he pulled up. He won't be in the side.

"Earlier in the week we weren't too sure [if he'd be available] and the physio gave us a little bit of a surprise when he said that he might be a chance on Tuesday.

"We ran that (the possibility) into the ground as much as we possibly could and he just didn't come up.

"It (naming him) was a little bit out of hope that he would pull up OK, but the fortunate thing is that we've got him next week."

Midfielder Travis Johnstone and defender Jason Roe are the travelling emergencies, and one will replace Bradshaw in the 22.

Gilbert Will Miss Just One

St Kilda claim popular $361k defender Sam Gilbert will probably only miss one match due to a back problem.

Gilbert, who is owned by over 51,000 DT coaches, was excluded from the Saints side this weekend to face Sydney due to back soreness.

Saints footy manager Greg Hutchison said, "Sam was assessed by our medical staff after complaining of back soreness following our final training session today.


"It’s disappointing for Sam to miss this week, but we’re optimistic at this stage that he’ll be available next week."

DT Round 18 Teams

Plenty of the typical feather-ruffling this week with plenty of key DT players in and out of sides. The big outs include Shaun Higgins, Rob Murphy, Sam Gilbert, Steven Salopek and Liam Jurrah but the big ins include Stevie Johnson, Jack Grimes, Nathan Grima, Lindsay Gilbee, Shane Tuck, Daniel Bradshaw and Justin Koschitzke. Not to mention Chad Cornes is selected amongst others. It's gonna be another big week.

North Melbourne v Carlton, Friday night, Docklands


North Melbourne

Ins: Nathan Grima, Daniel Pratt
Outs: Ben Ross, David Hale (omitted)
The return of $230k def Grima is big news for many DT coaches, but Hale's depletes many ruck stocks. No return either for cherry-ripe Leigh Adams.

Melbourne
Ins: James Frawley, Jake Spencer, Jack Grimes, Neville Jetta, Colin Sylvia
Outs: Jordie McKenzie (calf), Liam Jurrah (ankle)
The return of Grimes is good news and he's back in the 18, so it looks very bright in an extended squad. Jurrah dropping out will hurt a few coaches with fwd line carnage.

B: James Frawley, Matthew Warnock, Kyle Cheney
HB: Jack Grimes, Jared Rivers, Cam Bruce
C: Clint Bartram, James McDonald, Aaron Davey

Richmond
Ins: Alex Rance, Shane Tuck, Kel Moore, Mark Coughlan
Outs: Jarrod Silvester (inj)

Richmond's $404k gun Shane Tuck should return here, although Silvester is big defender so maybe Moore is a chance. I wouldn't expect Coughlan to get a game.

B: Jake King, Will Thursfield, Chris Newman
HB: Dean Polo , Luke McGuane, Matthew White
C: Shane Edwards, Trent Cotchin, Brett Deledio
HF: Robin Nahas, Jack Riewoldt, Jayden Post

Port Adelaide v Hawthorn, Sunday, AAMI

Port Adelaide
Ins: Dean Brogan, Hamish Hartlett, Tom Logan, Nick Salter, Matthew Thomas
Outs: Brett Ebert, Steven Salopek

West Coast v Essendon, Sunday afternoon, Subiaco

West Coast
Ins: Callum Wilson, Ryan Davis, Eric Mackenzie, Ben McKinley, Tyson Stenglein
Outs: Ash Hansen, Mark Seaby

No sign of $418k ruck Dean Cox and with DT finals around the corner, I strongly recommend trading him. $75k youngster Wilson could be worth a look after hot WAFL form up forward.

B: Adam Selwood, Darren Glass, Matt Spangher
HB: Shannon Hurn, Mitch Brown, Sam Butler
C: Matt Rosa, Matt Priddis, Tim Houlihan
HF: Andrew Embley, Josh Kennedy, Scott Selwood

Outs: Matthew Lloyd (heel), Mark McVeigh (leg), Alwyn Davey (knee), Jason Winderlich (back)
Plenty of changes from Windy Hill with the inclusion of Skipworth sure to please plenty of DTers. A cut-price Jobe Watson gets the nod too.

Around The Grounds

  • Richmond's popular $338k midfielder Nathan Foley will miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury. Tigers footy operations manager Ross Monaghan said, “Nathan has been restricted with his ankle since the early stages of the season, which has made it difficult for him to train, prepare for games and recover each week.” Foley will have surgery on the ankle in the next fortnight.
  • Melbourne trio Liam Jurrah, (ankle), Jack Grimes (back) and Brock McLean (knee) will all face fitness tests to be ready for the Dees clash with Richmond this Sunday. Demons coach Dean Bailey said on Wednesday, "Training tomorrow is going to be important." He added, "We'll see how LJ goes tomorrow but he's rolled both ankles in the last couple of weeks. He's a pretty important player for us at the moment, and he's had a long season with no pre-season." Those comments suggest Jurrah may miss.
  • Port Adelaide has a number of players under fitness clouds ahead of the weekend's Hawthorn game. Troy Chaplin (bruised shin), Jacob Surjan (corked calf), Steven Salopek, Paul Stewart and Alipate Carlile are all struggling. Dean Brogan (corked calf), Chad Cornes (knee) and Brett Ebert (leg) aren't 100% either.
  • St Kilda's $318k midfielder Luke Ball could soon be back in the club's seniors despite being dropped recently. Teammate Lenny Hayes said today, “His attitude has been first-class. He is a really respected guy and he’s gone back and he is working really hard. I’ve got no doubt he’ll play a part in the side going forward.”
  • Fremantle have confirmed young $100k fwd Tim Ruffles needs a knee reconstruction and will miss the rest of the season. Also The West claims Byron Schammer (calf) and Luke McPharlin (calf) will miss out this weekend and Brett Peake (ankle) is only a 50-50 chance. Chris Mayne should return.
  • Bulldogs' $216k forward Scott Welsh will miss this weekend's clash with Freo due to an ankle injury.

Taylor Walker Could Return

Adelaide's popular $211k DT forward Taylor Walker is in the mix for a AFL recall as the Crows prepare to face Geelong at Skilled Stadium this Saturday.

Walker, who is owned by over 41,000 DT coaches, hasn't played AFL footy since Round 13 having been dropped, but after some decent SANFL form and some unfortunate injuries to seniors, the door may be open for a return.

Adelaide's $75k young midfielder Brodie Martin needs a season-ending knee reconstruction having sustained the injury against Port last weekend, while early DT fave Andy Otten (corked thigh) is facing a Friday fitness test.

Teammate Bernie Vince said, “We’ve got guys in the side that are performing up forward at the moment, so Taylor’s just waiting for his opportunity. He’s doing everything he can and I’m sure when the opportunity arises he’ll grab it with both hands.”

$381k mid Tyson Edwards will take one of the spots available in the 22 after a hamstring injury.

Higgins To Miss 3, Murphy Not So Much

Western Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade has revealed mixed news about important forward pair Rob Murphy and Shaun Higgins.

$347k fwd Murphy, who is owned by over 8,000 DT coaches, and $345k mid/fwd Higgins, who is owned by just over 111,000 DT coaches both injured their hamstrings in the weekend's loss to St Kilda.


And Eade revealed, "Higgins had a scan and we're hoping two, but it could maybe be three.

"Robert looks more likely one, but maybe two. If you're looking at percentages, Higgins is 60-40 to be a three-weeker, and Murphy is probably 60-40 to be a one-weeker.

"[Murphy's] is not the same hamstring and it's not in the same spot; it's down low. He hasn't done any damage to the muscle, so that's why we're positive it might only be the one week."

Some good news for DTers is $315k defender Lindsay Gilbee is believed to be available for this weekend's clash with Fremantle after being a late withdrawal against the Saints for personal reasons.

Eade also added about other possible replacements, "
Brennan Stack, Andrejs Everitt, Tim Callan, Guy O'Keefe and Wayde Skipper … those sorts of guys will be in the mix. Jarrad Grant will be in the mix too."

Tribunal Update: Corey Free To Play

Geelong's gun $399k midfielder Joel Corey is free to play this weekend after accepting a reprimand for a charge of rough conduct on Hawk Liam Shiels.

Corey, who is owned by over 26,000 DT coaches, accumulates 70.31 points towards his future record but will be available for this Saturday's clash with Adelaide.

Brisbane's Tim Notting also accepted a sanction for his charge of striking North Melbourne's Scott Thompson, but the Lion will be suspended for one match.

Hawthorn's Cyril Rioli accepted a fine for contact with an umpire.
