“I thought he did a great job Harmsey.”

“Sometimes he started outside the centre bounce but he was engaging in Neale pretty quickly.”
“I thought he did a brilliant job for the night.”
Angus Brayshaw and James Jordon
“Angus Brayshaw to half-back has been a revelation for us (this year).”

AFL News on Twitter @aflratings

“Ideally in the future he ends up back in the mid.”
Dom Sheed
“We’re going to let it settle (Ankle).”
“Hopefully it’s not a stress related injury, there’s a chance it might be.”

“I think he’ll be not too far off (from playing AFL).”

AFL News on Twitter @aflratings
GEELONG
Chris Scott on:
Jeremy Cameron
“We’ve done it before (playing midfield), it’s not new.”
“He was in there for a couple before that final centre bounce.”
“He’s going to be an ahead of the ball player for us there’s no doubt about that, his ball use and his decision making up the ground is pretty good.”
Jack Henry
“We were really happy with him, first one back after a very long layoff.”
“We prepared all week to play back, then (Gary) Rohan was ill in the warm up and we made that move (forward).”

“He looked like the run will do him well.”
Callum Wilkie
“I thought Wilkie did a pretty good job on Bud (Lance Franklin) after quarter time.”
Seb Ross
“He’s played pretty consistent footy for us this year.”
Jack Sinclair
“When teams come to you, they respect you.”
“It would have been nice to have (Bradley) Hill there, so if they go to Sinclair the Hill gets away.”
“It does make it hard when you’ve got one rebounder back there.”
Max King
“He had to wear the brunt of our ball movement and the way we moved the ball, it would have been pretty frustrating.”
“We kicked the ball so badly to him.”
AFL News on Twitter @aflratings
SYDNEY
John Longmire

AFL News on Twitter @aflratings
NTH MELBOURNE
David Noble on:
Tarryn Thomas
“Taz has had a bereavement in his family this week and he’s really struggled.”
Jack Ziebell and Ben McKay
“Anywhere from 2-4 (weeks prior to a return).”
“That’s why we went with Ben forward today, to try to draw the ball in a bit longer.”
“Whether or not we persist with that one we’re not sure.”
“With the Cats next week we might need him (Ben) back.”
Jackson Archer
“He’s really diligent on his defence.”
“We played him a little bit as a forward at training and we’ve quite like what he’s done there as well.”
“And then we plonk him in the midfield to give our mids some exposure with some run with training in some of the stoppages, and he’s pretty capable there as well.”
“I think at this stage we’ll just try to settle him in the back end.”
AFL News on Twitter @aflratings
ADELAIDE
Matthew Nicks on:
Taylor Walker
“If we give Tex 5 or 6 opportunities, he’ll finish for us and he did that.”
Darcy Fogarty
“I thought Darcy was a standout today as well, his work probably that will go unnoticed is more the work off the ball that he’s doing and has been in this space for a number of weeks.”
“He’s playing with confidence at the moment.”
“That’s a small thing ongoing (elbow),”
“We hope that there’s no issue there.”
Will Hamill
“He’ll be concussion protocol.”
Shane McAdam
“It was a pretty bad roll (ankle).”
“He might be available next week.”
AFL News on Twitter @aflratings
GWS GIANTS
Mark McVeigh on:
Harry Himmelberg
“Harry Himmelberg had another good game today, he played well down back and then went in to the ruck and gave us some real drive.”
“The temptation is just to put Harry Himmelberg forward and see how we go (directly after half time).”
Nick Haynes
“Played a pretty good role in the first half on (Darcy) Moore.”
“With that backline settled over the last 4 weeks, some pieces we wanted to move and try and see how Haynsey would adapt.”
“I’d love to think that Haynsey will find his way back in our backline at some stage, but the mix right now just suits us the way we’re going.”
Jesse Hogan
“It’s been a credit to him, he’s been able to really get on top of his body (health).”
“He’s the fittest he’s been in a long time, I think we’ve got his training right.”
“He’s not one of those players than can train consistently two hard sessions a week, we’ve got to manage him.”
“He was outstanding today right from the start.”
Braydon Preuss and Matt Flynn
“Hopefully we get some troops back there next week (ruck position),”
“Whether that’s Preuss and Matty Flynn who hopefully will be available.”
“All suggestions are, they’ve had a good week and they should be available.”
“I’d like to think he’d (Preuss) come into the side absolutely, but Matty Flynn who’s been out for a while will also be available we think.”
“Whether we play two rucks, we’ll wait and see.”
AFL News on Twitter @aflratings
COLLINGWOOD
Craig McRae on:
Darcy Cameron
“He’s really stepped up when Brodie (Grundy) has been out.”
Brayden Maynard
“His competitive nature is something we feed off, his contest was brilliant again today.”

AFL News on Twitter @aflratings
GOLD COAST
Stuart Dew on:
Izak Rankine
“We love the way he’s tracking, he’s going really well.”

“Tweaked his knee a little bit, the medial we think.”
“He’s be highly doubtful next week.”
AFL News on Twitter @aflratings
PORT ADELAIDE
Ken Hinkley on:
Charlie Dixon
“I thought Charlie was huge for us in the ruck today.”
“I thought today was a call and need for Charlie to be there in a physical presence more than anything else.”
Willem Drew
“We put Drew to (Touk) Miller, we quelled his influence for most of the second half, not all of it but most of it.”
Scott Lycett
“We have got Scott Lycett probably available next week.”
Lachie Jones
“Right now we’re not sure exactly where Lachie plays his football in his career, all we know right now he’s bringing some really important stuff to our front half.”
“While he’s doing that, he’ll stay in that spot.”
Zak Butters
“He would say next week (available), we’ll wait and see.”
