UNAVAILABLE:

Jaeger O’Meara (face)

We had to wait for the swelling to come down and he’s due for surgery tomorrow.

We are looking at around about a four-week timeline for Jaeger’s return.

Sam Sturt (knee)

Sam’s progressing really well (from a knee reconstruction), so it will be around about eight weeks. We’ll just keep integrating him into football training and we’ll go from there.

Sean Darcy (calf)

Sean’s progressing through the concussion protocol, the same as Bailey Banfield.

Unfortunately, he’s had a relapse of the calf that he had in January, so we’re just collecting information and should have a timeline for him soon.

TEST:

Bailey Banfield (concussion)

He’s progressed really well through the concussion protocols.

He’s done his incidental contact and passed that and he should be in full main training tomorrow.
