Looking pretty good injury wise.

Looking pretty good injury wise.

Looking pretty good injury wise.

I guess apart from Carlisle, Roberton, McCartin, Hannebury and co.

[DJ Higgins]

Love the optimism relating to king. 5 weeks. I wish

Looking pretty good injury wise.

I reckon it is ordinary......

Looking pretty good injury wise.

Yep, only about 20% of our salary cap and two top 4 draft picks...

Why has Hannebury become indefinite?

Initially we were told it was hamstring awareness, and that he may miss a JTL match but likely to be available for round 1.

And so now, he's got hamstring + calf and it's indefinite.

And he's been dropped from the leadership group.

Are we being told the truth?

I have heard rumours that are very different to the clubs story...

From the hun.

ST KILDA

St Kilda coach Alan Richardson was full of praise for Rowan Marshall’s role on Tom Bellchambers on Saturday, but the Saints are edging closer to having first-choice ruckman Billy Longer back.

Longer, who has been battling a hamstring injury, will need some game time and match conditioning in the VFL.

But his return — likely to be in the VFL opener against Footscray on Friday — will give the Saints greater flexibility in terms of their big men options.

Saturday’s win over Essendon also gave Saints fans an exciting look into the future concerning young gun Jade Gresham, who was best afield through the midfield.

With the addition of Dean Kent and Matt Parker into the forward line this season, it has allowed Richardson and his coaching staff the luxury of releasing Gresham and Jack Billings into centre of the ground.

That’s a massive plus for the Saints as Gresham and Billings threaten to become the A-grade players that the Saints have been calling out for.

Consider these numbers for Gresham — 25 touches, 12 contested, 5 clearances, 16 pressure acts, two assists, seven scoring involvements and two goals (the last of which was the sealer to take the Saints to a 2-0 start). — GLENN MCFARLANE

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Only really missing Hanners, Carlisle and Roberton as walk up starters. Plus add Billy and Paddy if in form. It's only really 3-5 definite first team players.

The rest are kids and long term prospects. King and Bytel are no dramas at all and already had known injuries.

Injury wise overall, we are going good right now.

[saintspremiers]

So Hanners is out for the season. Let’s be realistic

Just love watching stars develop before our eyes.

So proud at the moment

[SuperDuper]

Gresham will start getting a lot of opposition attention.. lets hope it frees up Steven a bit.

the good part is that gresh can push
forward and impact there of he is getting a heavy tag

the other good part is that tagging Gresh may allow billings to remain relatively free.. so it is good that they are moving to midfield together.
