Maybe we should add Dickson, but no confirmation.

From Club website:

Western Bulldogs ruckman Tom Campbell remains in contention for round one selection despite rolling his ankle on the weekend against Collingwood.

Speaking to westernbulldogs.com.au on Tuesday afternoon, General Manager of Football Graham Lowe said the Club are hopeful of the 25-year old’s prospects.


“Tom’s in an acute phase in the his recovery from an ankle injury so he’ll be in a moonboot this week and we’ll review and monitor him at the back end of this week with a view to him coming back into training next week,” Lowe said.


“Any further decisions we need to make, we’ll make following that.’


Lowe said fellow big man Will Minson was also progressing well from a hamstring injury suffered at training last Thursday.


“He’s resumed running, [and we’re going to add some speed to his program as we progress through this week.


“We’re going to look at bringing him back into the footy program next week.”


Tory Dickson is another player who could also be in line for selection against the Dockers on Easter weekend.


“Tory’s progressing really well from his groin tightness, he’s working through our rehab program this week and he’ll be fully training this week with the few to making himself available for selection in round one.”


Both Roarke and Clay Smith are on track in their recovery from ACL injuries, Lowe saying that both players have returned to low level football training.


“We’re playing the long game with them here, but they’re progressing really well.”

Of the potential outs Tory Dickson's absence would be missed the most. I really like what he brings to the team. An up and back runner with a big tank and very capable at applying forward pressure with his tackling. Throw in his elite goal kicking skills and you have a very, very good footballer.

TOM Campbell and Will Minson are racing the clock to the fit, but the outlook is better for Jordan Roughead, who emerged unscathed from a VFL match last week. Tom Liberatore will make a welcome return after showing no effects stemming from a knee reconstruction that kept him out of football for all of 2015.

This has me nervous, I hope it's not serious. His skill-set is unique amongst most players in the league, let alone our list.

Hamling will come in if Wood doesn't get up I imagine.
Not a bad replacement.

My impression was that Wood played on unhampered (he took that incredible intercept mark after the Pav incident). Hope his shoulder hasn't become more painful or restricted in movement after the match.

Minson mentioned at the players sponsors on Sunday that its back full training for him this week.

I would have thought it was our foot in his rectum that caused an injury.

Wood looked like he got a stinger
Dickson's out until round 4 . Strained quad at training last week!
Bit unlucky Dickson at the moment

Dicko out till round 4
