Oh ffs... now the injuries come.
I know its a differnt role, but Chook is a lock now surely.
Move Menegola to HFF and Chook into the guts.

This may be a blessing in disguise, as long as Constable gets named tonight. Atkins has trailed off a fair bit in past weeks, and Narkle and Parf in the team can fill his role, with more focus on offence. If Constable doesn't get named, we seriously need to think about what we're doing, as he could leave if we're not naming him after 41 and 2 (which could have been 5 goals had he kicked straight)

CC has signed for 2020, can't just leave
Yeah I know, but more, 'request a trade for more opportunity.' St Kilda are poking around, so I'd rather not give them any reason to think Constable is 'gettable' for Steven

But but… he hates the coach. The coach hates him.
He is love with half the Saints team...

Geelong’s Tom Atkins in doubt this week with a hand injury sustained at training. Cats concede it may require surgery at a later date. A potential blow to small forward stocks after Lachie Fogarty also did his hamstring @AFLcomau
Irony!
I think the scuttlebutt has emerged due to him being from the area where the Saints are now located. Nothing more.

VFL - no idea how, but I remember reading this post match
VFL Round 19
Bendigo Bank Cats 21.12 (138) defeated North Melbourne 5.6 (36)
Goals: Buzza, Jones, Fort 3, Constable, Brownless, Stanley 2, Abbott, Fogarty, Kennerley, Kreuger, Okunbor, Tarca
Best: Constable, Jones, Parsons, Dowling, Stanley, Simpson
Reports: Nil
Injuries: Jarvis (ankle), Fogarty (hamstring)
The above isn't in the initial report I read because that didn't include Jarvis in the injuries

Since when is St Kilda actually poking around - the whole link to St Kilda is that Constable is mates with King
I'm yet to read anything of substance that actually confirms Constable wants out or that St Kilda is even looking at him
I completely agree, but I more see it as a 'self -fulfilling prophecy', sorta thing. They may not have considered it, but as his name keeps getting floated by clueless journos, maybe they'll look into it.
I just would rather us play him and show our confidence in him moving forward, rather than giving a club that we're looking at most likely getting a player from (Steven), a reason to play hardball in order to get one of our up and coming youngsters. That's really what I'm getting at.
'St Kilda poking around', probably wasn't the best way to put it. Apologies

Is Rohan right to go?
Pretty sure enright said on Krock on saturday pre-game that he was a possibility, can't remember how definitive it was though
Atkins has played his best footy last 2 weeks and was crap the 8 weeks before that

Not sure why Rohan would return through the VFL.
If he doesn’t get back this week the vfl side play the week of the afl bye.

Something wrong with his hand that needed surgery. Broken bone? He played with it against the lions though. It was after that they got the advice he needed surgery on it.

Do the rules allow him to play AFL this week and VFL next?
