2-4 still gets him back round 3 if all goes well.

Re: Injury List - 2019
Johannisen set to return
Jason Johannisen is in the frame to return from injury on Sunday against the Gold Coast Suns.
The influential defender has completed his rehabilitation program, and has returned to full training.
“JJ has ticked the final boxes in the return following his syndesmosis injury,” medical services manager Chris Bell said.
“He’s back into full training and completed a really good game-like session on the weekend.
“I’ll work with match committee this week to determine his availability for the weekend, and we’ll make a decision if it’s this week or the following.”
In more positive news, Tom Boyd (back) and Lin Jong (hamstring) are also on track to return to play over the coming fortnight.
However, a number of Bulldogs suffered setbacks in a VFL practice match over the weekend.
Ben Cavarra, coming back from a quad injury, copped a heavy hit which left him with a broken rib and internal bruising and bleeding. His return to play time frame is still to be determined.
Draftee Laitham Vandermeer (hamstring) is expected to miss up to five weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury in the same game.
Ruckman Jackson Trengove sustained an ankle injury, but is a test to be available for selection this weekend.

Vandermeer first game back from a hammy does another. Never looks good.

I read it was just tightness and they would just rest him this week and maybe come back the week after.

Re: Injury List - 2019
Sweet the only fit ruckman on our list after English. We're going to get to see what his tank is like at VFL levcel when he rucks most fo the day. I suspect we may not risk Trengove.

Bevo mentioned he has gastro in this mornings presser so definitely not playing this week.

Will see what he does in the opening VFL game tomorrow night. No Roughy and Campbell now.

TBoyd fit, healthy and firing would seem the big hole on the current injury list.
Curiously though I’m grappling to see how we would make room for him with our current crop healthy.
I love the idea of us continuing to put games into English, and as it stands the Schache / Naughton combo up forward looks our best option. To retain speed and endurance around the ground I’m not sure we could go with another tall in Tom’s mould.

Naughton goes back, Boyd goes forward with Schache, and all three can help English in the ruck, horses for courses, depends who your playing and how the games panning out but it’s I think we could fit him in.

I do prefer what Naughton offers as as a key forward. He’s more mobile, a beautiful and natural contested mark, and a composed kick at goal.

Funny how we have come around to Bevo's thinking. Bevo has no intention on putting Naughton to the backline and said as much today in his presser. He was pleased with Young's efforts last week and sees him as the tall in the backline.

Not a criticism of Bevo but the structure down back last week was quite different to what was selected in week 1 where the main question being raised was a concern with our selected defense being undersized against a tall Sydney forward line.
Whether it was our MCs astuteness or fortune that Sydney’s mids we’re dominated by our midfield, restricting clean delivery into the Sydney forward line I don’t know.
The balance down back now with Cordy, L Young and Wood playing as our talls brings a better balance, albeit Young / Roberts / Trengove could be interchangeable based on form, availability and / or matchups.
