Humphreys injured.

And Mitch Edwards is managed.

This is an extraordinary story.

Cody Ratner is going to play his first AFL game in 637 days.

That's right, 637 days on Friday night against Hawthorne.

The small forward's been called up to return for the Dogs after a horror injury run, skipping the VFL entirely, entirely.

So he hasn't played a VFL game after last playing for the club in the 2024 elimination final.

A little bit worse.

It's extraordinary.

And?

We'll talk about it more out of seven, but they're taking a bit of a risk.

There's no question about that.

Hey, Brandon Stasevich will make his much-anticipated debut for the West Coast Eagles in Saturday night's clash against Port.

Two-time Brisbane Premiership defender.

He was a great pickup for the Eagles over the summer.

He's played the past two waffle games after a calf injury, and he'll be a very nice addition to this West Coast team that's just starting to get a little bit of momentum.

There's a little bit of bubble there at the moment, isn't there?

Port Adelaide coach Joshy Carr says Captain Connor Rosey is still having nerve issues from the injury and may require another round of surgery.

Rosey has been sidelined since round two after rupturing his left hamstring.

I'll tell you what he should do.
