Oscar McDonald
AFL News on Twitter @aflratings“Back spasm”
Patrick Cripps
AFL News on Twitter @aflratings“He’s playing his role for the team pretty well and he’s just being a sensational leader through action and through the work he’s doing behind the scenes that many don’t see.”
“The selfless nature of his game has never been greater, as much as he had centre bounce clearances there were some fantastic blocks in there which allowed others to really dominate and get field position.”
“He’s certainly got a lot of support around him at the moment and he’s really buying in to sharing that workload so he’s at his dynamic best when he’s on the field.”

AFL News on Twitter @aflratings“That’s the expectation (they’ll be available next week).”
George Hewett
AFL News on Twitter @aflratings“George did a fantastic job for a period of time to pay a little bit of attention there (to Marcus Bontempelli),”
“And once again it’s another example of a player doing a role for the team until we got that under control.”
Sam Walsh
AFL News on Twitter @aflratings“He’s also an absolute professional that did everything right (to return early), was always the first at the club, the last to leave.”
Lochie O’Brien

“He’s very determined this year.”
Dayne Zorko
AFL News on Twitter @aflratings“The injury that he’s got is not really an injury, it’s sort of the leftovers of a surgery that he’s had which is car tissue which hurts a bit and can swell a little bit.”
“It’s better that he actually keeps playing.”
“Played pretty well, looks alright at half-back.”
“I’m not sure (if that role continues), because we’ve got Kiedean Coleman recuperating from a hamstring injury at the moment.”

Jake Bowey
AFL News on Twitter @aflratings“He’s a much improved player Jake.”

WEST COAST
Adam Simpson on:
