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

Dunks straight back in. Wow

Are the teams in?

Yeah. Dickson Stringer and Dunks in for Wood Smith and Webb

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.

Roberts as an emergency in case of late change

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.

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

Seriously who misses two weeks with a back spasm? My faith in our medical team is at an all time low.

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

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.

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.

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 .

I'm actually a bit concerned by that match up. I reckon Tomlinson is one of the better matchups for the Bont up forward.
Although it may mean others up forward get better opportunities. Tomlinson will have to stay close to Bont and that may mean Bont is a decoy to prevent Tomlinson from getting back and helping out against Stringer, Cloke & Redpath
