re Elijah....
We all knew about it. Its gotten to the stage the club has to do something about it to smooth things over.

Better happening at this stage of the season than at the end.

Get him right. Hopefully make an impact later in the year. Could be as early as a few weeks from now.
Who knows.

He is not a player we will have an issue replacing.

Rumours are he got busted with you know what at Wodonga Pub.

"having the courage to ... ask for help"

Its another strike - what a waste of a top end young talent.
Leopards dont change their spots unfortunately. Puts unwanted pressure on Ollie too.

For the uneducated what did we "know" about Elijah (other than come with baggage and served a suspension) and when did Fantasia get injured?
Pls kick straight Harry

Im led to believe Fantasia hurt his calf a couple of training sessions ago or maybe even the GWS praccy match.
There have been rumours circulating around of Elijah "taking time off" since mid February but they got "quashed" on many of the internet forums. We all know what "personal leave", "hamstring awareness" etc means these days.

Comes with 'baggage' seems to sum it up nicely

He's a young bloke, let's hope they can get him sorted, step one is generally finding out who your friends really are!

I'm hoping this doesn't also impact OH.

Love Saad, I just wish he was a little more random with his use of run.

Sometimes he needs to kick earlier to catch opponents out of position. When he runs it always gives opposition some extra time to setup, especially when they force him in zig-zag through traffic. He does it well, and sometimes it also opens space, but sometimes those extra 2 or 3 steps are the 5m or 10m a sprinting opponent needs to close off an option further up the field.

Even so, probably wouldn't change him too much, a bit of chaos is hard to plan against.

Jack Silvagni will play his first game in 600 days.

Vossy confirmed he is playing this week.

Turning the clock back, not just 600 days but almost 25 years since SOS was controlling our backline!

It will be a new look backline with Jack, Ollie and Nick Haynes lining up there!

Quite a few of our newbies and fringe established players took part in the captain’s run this morning and, of them, I expect Cooper Lord to play.

Walshy’s back and Lucas Camporeale makes his debut.

Aren’t you glad footy’s back!!!!

Lord is the one im most bullish about somehow. 

Not sure what it is about him, but I reckon he is going to be one of those hidden gems, that people are going to say where was he hiding all that time?

I suspect that Cooper is not quite as talented or as skillful as his mate Jagga and he has had to work harder and possibly values his success just a little more ... and then there's the mullet!  :)
