A fair few people are probably in the same boat as me for Prelim Final weekend. Most games will depend on the availability of the following players...

Milburn
Chapman
Lucas
Vince
P.Burgoyne (match review)
Simmonds (match review)
McIntosh
Garland
Wirrpanda
Wilkes (concussion?)

Whats the liklihood of most of these guys returning?
 
Luckily i only have Milburn out of those players and the word is he will be back next week. Bad thing is my opponent also has him so its not much of a win win situation.

Did most of the other big names pull up ok from the weekend?

You forgot my man Chris Johnson :p

I desperately need Chapman, Milburn and CJ back because I'm carring 3 zeros at the moment. Horrible coaching selections haven't helped with my bench players being robbed of playing. Only got 1780 last week and dropped out of the top 500, I need to get back in there, was my aim at the start of the year.

N.Brown? I was worried the first time when he had the 'flu'. Need the Tiges to think they can make the finals and rush him back.

Vince looks like another week away.
porpz may be back this week (i will be very surprised & happy if its true)
Porpz is very unlikely to play this week. he'll need confirmation from specialists whether the bruising is gone, but even if it is, he won't be rushed in this week. possibly the week after, but seriously, looking at Tadhg Kennelly continuously dislocate his shoulder, just makes you wonder even if Porpz played, teams would target him and he might not even last long on the field.
 
Desperately need Chapman and Milburn back. Been 3 down for 2 weeks now and was very lucky to scrape through into the Prelim.

Seeing Kennelly do that shows you just what commitment these players have and what they are prepared to do to stay on the park. Not the appropriate thread for this, but I hate it when players are called soft when really they are not - they don't make it to AFL level if they are soft. I guess it all becomes relative after a while, but the problems they must have in later life with arthritis etc. must be shocking.

I hated having Porps in my team and seeing him run around with his arm dangling - it was actually a relief to trade him.
 
I don't have him and am playing against a mate who has him this week for the prelim but does anyone no if Dale Thomas will get up this week I just read something on the collingwood website saying he is a chance but that means crap I've been around long enough to no that that means absolute crap. WIll he get up??????
