Tom Green

The AFL moved to clarify this alleged interchange breach that was brought up through the week.

They said no such thing.

They've gone back, they've counted, and the siren apparently went, according to them, before Gunston took the field again.

Right.

They went to the audio.

Right, okay.

So no problem.

They've clarified that?

Well, according to them, yeah.

Okay.

Sydney's been dealt a blow with small forward Tom Papley, set for a spell on the sidelines due to a calf injury.

He'd be sidelined for approximately six weeks.

You know, when guys do stuff these days, is this just my imagination?

When we get injuries these days, when we get hamstring injuries, when we get calf injuries, they just seem to be longer than what they've ever been before?

Yeah, I think they take the much more conservative route and they don't want them to have a re-injury.

And in this season, which is ridiculously long, they are much more conservative because we're asking more and more of these players.

So the injuries are getting worse.

What's Dougal up to?

Errol Gooden, by the way, said that he'll be back in, hopefully just post the bye, told us last night.

So hopefully he's going to be the, he might offset the loss of Papley.
