Wasn't it declared a back related hammy? Tweaked prior to the Brisbane game?

But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Looks like they're running with Lobb/Patton as their rotating ruck/forward combo rather than recalling Simpson which mildly eases our key-position-back dilemma.

Good luck to Dunkley but disappointed Webb was dropped for him. Webb looked likely forward against Essendon and would have love to see the match committee back him as he does look suited in the forward line with the two talls in it.

Re: Match Committee - Round 21, 2017 vs GWS Giants
No JJ hurts big time. We look slow when we don't have him breaking the lines. It showed when he was struggling a few weeks ago and last week without him. Oh well others have to step up.
I'm glad to see Stringer back. Hopefully he can make defenders nervous. We need a big one from him. Cloke Redpath Dickson and Stringer. That forward line sounds good lets hope they gel and kick a massive score.
Dunkley gets me excited. Is it a coincidence that our form has been terrible in his absence? Maybe, maybe not but I love his size and his ability to get inside 50 marks. I don't like his kicking so much.
I'm pumped for this game and I believe (hope) we will make a statement to the rest of the league tomorrow night with a good solid win.
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

There is an element of risk playing Dunks but I guess the fact Footscray isn't playing means he probably had to play

Plough said on radio that he thinks Stringer would be good in the backline. Not sure if I agree with him

I think the medical team does a fantastic job. Geelong have contacted them to help with Selwood's ankle

Webb has not fired a shot each time he has come in this year - not one good game. Maybe a good 5 minutes in the first quarter against Essendon.

Re: Match Committee - Round 21, 2017 vs GWS Giants
Bevo's had history of bringing players straight in. ( JJ last year)
Good in's , but the outs of Wood and JJ hurt . Four back six players out currently

He also said Tomlinson should go to The Bont. Bring it on, Bont will cream him

Gotta disagree with this . The way they've got our injured players back has been excellent .
I'd imagine it's a back/hammy twinge, and if aggravated would be season ending .
