Posted at the bottom of heraldsun article:

The Swans may welcome back ruckman Stephen Doyle, who has not played since hurting his knee in Round 1.

Can anyone confirm if Doyley is definitely in contention this week?

Also, did he play in the ressies and if so, does anyone know how he went?

Doyle, could be our trump card for the finals.

Injury list after Round 20

Here's the official injury list after round 20:

PLAYER INJURY STATUS
Leo Barry Elbow hyper-extension Test
Stephen Doyle Knee Test
Matthew Nicks Back soreness Test
Nick Malceski Hip strain Test
Ben Fixter Groin To be reassessed
Daniel Hunt Shin stress fractures 2-3 weeks
Jason Saddington Knee medial ligament strain 4 weeks
Jason Ball Shoulder Season
Amon Buchanan Knee Season
Josh Thewlis Groin surgery Season

It doesn't look that bad after all. It looked much worse after the game. I hope those with the "test" status will be able to play this week.

That's the really good news as far as I'm concerned. Was a bit worried it could be worse than that, especially with Dermie going on about a dislocation during the commentary.

I think Leo would have been wanting to play from his hospital bed....
Although he had limited use of the arm when he came back on...he came back on!!! My reading of that is that although unfortunate, it wasn't sufficiently serious to endanger him playing on...hence I reckon -- no make that hope -- he'll be ok arm-wise for the wobbles. Now about that heel....
Seymour played well last week...how did he go this week...did he play? and Fixter...
Saddo seems not to be ALL THAT serious (season ending) from the report either...4 weeks...he'll be back for the GF at least.....


I wish

I thought Fixter had Hammie problems, now it says groin. Strewth he is the new Heath James, poor bugger. Doesn't look like he will get back on the track now.
