AFL teams - Round 11

The gun Saints were among big names set for action when AFL teams were announced for Round 11.

The Magpies named brilliant on-baller Dane Swan for his last outing before heading to Arizona for mid-season high-altitude medical treatment in a bid to overcome nagging injuries before his finals campaign.

The Pies named big utility Leigh Brown and dropped premiership small forward Jarryd Blair.

Geelong swung the biggest surprise with in-form on-baller Paul Chapman left out along with key forwards Cameron Mooney and Tom Hawkins.

The Cats regained premiership trio Corey Enright, Brad Ottens and Harry Taylor for their home clash with the struggling Western Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon.

Goddard with a potentially dangerous neck injury was out of action from just before quarter-time, while Dempster was knocked unconscious in the dying minutes of the Saints 46-point win.

Goddard and Dempster were both carried out of last week’s stirring win over Fremantle in Perth on stretchers.

The Saints also get hard nut defender Steve Baker back from suspension to play his 200th game.

In other Round 11 team movements, Melbourne swung brilliant youngster Tom Scully back into their provisional squad after just one outing in the VFL with Casey Scorpions last week.

The Demons rushed gifted on-baller Jack Trengove straight back into their line-up after his controversial three-week suspension for a heavy tackle on Adelaide’s Patrick Dangerfield.

Melbourne also named Max Gawn and Jeremy Howe to make their AFL debuts.

Trengove confronts Essendon’s midfield without their captain Jobe Watson after he failed to recover from a hamstring strain in time even though the Bombers had a bye last week.

Watson is second favourite in Brownlow Medal voting behind Carlton champion Chris Judd and was all but ruled out on Thursday morning by Bombers coach James Hird .

Watson seems more likely to resume against Fremantle in Perth next week.

AFL Teams – Round 13, 2011 – Ash Clouds, Injuries and Arizona!

Round 13 of the 2011 AFL season was all ways going to be a tough one for Fantasy Coaches (i.e. DreamTeam, SuperCoach, etc)  with Collingwood having their second bye meaning missing out on popular players like Dane Swan, Scott Pendlebury, Heath Shaw and Alan Didak, but it is getting worst and worst as the weekend goes on and looks like continuing as the teams are named on Thursday night and refined on Friday night.

So lets start the journey through the carnage at the Ruck position. Mark Harvey reported that Aaron Sandilands who has missed about a month with his toe injury will not be back this week but will be back next week. But thats okay, we have Cox and Zac Smith to play ruck, right? Wrong! Guy McKenna reported today that Zac would be rested this week with “General Soreness”. This will force some trades and will force some to cover with the likes of Petrie (with his Dual Positioning). In other news from the West, Michael Barlow (last years Fantasy super Rookie) will return from his serious leg injury that has kept him out for about 10 months. Unfortunately off-setting the return of Barlow is the loss of there other midfield star, David Mundy .

Then we move to the backs were Hot early back, the Lions Vice Captain Jed Adcock looked like a man whos performances of recent times suggested that he needed to pull his finger. There has been a reason why he needed to do it and it was that he had an injured finger. He this week underwent surgery on a broken finger and will miss a number of weeks. This probably isn’t the biggest issue with the rookies in the defence having fired meaning that most teams have cover, except one team. The Lions. They are already reeling from injuries including having lost Merritt for about 10 weeks (or most of the season).

The Hawks are another team facing a massive toll from injuries after there Round 12 match-up with the Cats. The biggest of the injuries is too Jarryd Roughead who will miss the rest of the Season after rupturing his Achilles tendon. Next is Brent Renouf who took a big hit in a ruck contest to the point that he had to have surgery to remove his gall bladder removed . He will miss a number of weeks which means the Hawks are missing there two ruckman from the weekend. David Hale should be ready to return as should fan favorite Max Bailey. But also in the wings is Jordan Lisle who, to me anyway, is a more similar replacement for Roughy. Lisle has been groomed to play sometime in the ruck so I wouldn’t be surprised to see any two of the three or all three. The dark horse in the race is Luke Lowden who has been playing well at Box Hill. Clinton Young will miss as well with a hammy tightness opening the door for a return of Issac Smith and lastly Brent Guerra is in doubt after he got whacked by Joel Selwood . He is listed as a test but has to be considered unlikely with that perforated eardrum. On the other side of that incident, Joel Selwood will be missing for 4 weeks after failing in his appeal against his report.
