That’s the harder part. The better ones are contracted and I’m not sure we will part with the future first for a ruck. I’m open to it. If we start looking at mature guys down the pecking order, names arise like Chol, Vardy or Meek and we hope the rise being number one. Or does a club like Geelong look to get back into the draft and part with Stanley? (Assuming they think they’re not a serious threat next year)

Re: Injury List - 2021
We don't need a superstar so I'd consider guys like Vardy if they were fit enough / passed a medical.
Chol is too much like English.

Throw the sink at Nankervis.

Bulldogs premiership skipper’s nervous wait after ankle injury in VFL
Western Bulldogs premiership captain Easton Wood faces a nervous wait on scans after injuring his ankle in the VFL against Coburg on Saturday afternoon.
In the defender’s second game back in the VFL after returning from injury he left the ground before half-time and was on crutches and wearing a moonboot after the game.
The club said it was hopeful the injury was merely an ankle sprain but it would be assessed in the next few days after the 31-year-old has scans.
Wood has not played in the AFL since the Bulldogs defeated Port Adelaide in Adelaide in round nine, with the club also missing ruckman Stef Martin and midfielders Adam Treloar, Josh Dunkley through injury.

Can't take a trick and his form's been good this year too.

Re: Injury List - 2021
Wood might need a couple of weeks at VFL level too just to test out if he can get through a game. Maybe back in the seniors Round 22.

Re: Injury List - 2021
Western Bulldogs defender Ryan Gardner is set for surgery to repair a shoulder injury he sustained in last weekend’s victory over West Coast.
Gardner was subbed out of the game in the third quarter of the 55-point win, after courageously contesting a marking contest.
He will undergo an operation later this week and is expected to miss the next 6-8 weeks.
It’s the second shoulder injury the impressive 24-year-old has suffered this season. He injured the opposite arm against North Melbourne in Round 3 and returned to the AFL team in Round 12.
Meanwhile, defender Easton Wood is expected to miss the next 3-4 weeks of football after damaging an ankle ligament during Footscray’s VFL win over Coburg on Saturday.
Ruckman Stefan Martin will also miss at least the next fortnight with groin soreness.

Re: Injury List - 2021
Still a chance for Gardy to return for the finals if we need that 3rd tall. But we’re really exposed down back if we lose one of Keath/Cordy.
Wood and Martin’s bodies starting to break down I think.
Fingers crossed for a healthy list come the pointy end of the season. We seem to cop an injury each week while some other clubs continue a clean run.

No news on Louis Butler, who has been unsighted since being the medical sub against Melbourne.

With Gardner, Bevo mentioned him being rusty first game back. Think he might need 2 VFL games before we trust him in a final unless we have no other option. Hopefully for him we have a VFL game during pre finals week off. I think maybe the semi (hopefully we bypass it) or prelim if he makes it.

I think we now need to plan for life without Gardner this year. Doesn't seem the type at all to come in to a cut throat final off some VFL games and thrive.
