    Injury Update: The latest on Reid and McInerney
    It could just be media spin, but immediately before that sentence, it did say his midweek scan (must mean today, as he already has his Tuesday one in earlier reports) was “promising”.

      I’m not sure whether it is good or bad after last week but we have Matt Stevic, Simon Meredith and Brendan Hosking as umpires for Saturday. We had Andrew Stephens instead of Brendan Hosking last week.

        If it’s a bit of inflammation as opposed to a strain, then he should be right to play. He didn’t look particularly distressed after the game, unlike say McGlynn in 2012, who knew he was done.

            Any game with Stevic is bad especially Grand Finals!

              Has there been any footage of Sam sustaining the injury?

                Dropping Dylan Stephens' brother from the umpiring crew is really going to hurt. He was the only one keeping the others in check.

                Aren't Geelong good enough to beat us without help from the umps? I'd like to hear a statement from Chris Scott saying they want to win the GF fair and square. I'm worried that Stevic will be looking to win the money back he lost on the Collingwood game.

                    Hope this is the right thread? Our bottom six going into the GF (according to Champion Data):

                    Lloyd
                    Fox
                    Stephens
                    Rampe
                    Logan
                    Clarke

                    Some surprises there!

                    The depth test: How Geelong Cats, Sydney Swans' less-storied names stack up

                    These ratings seem to favour mids and forwards. Our next six (reading upwards):

                    Florent
                    McCartins x 2
                    JMac
                    Hayward
                    Reid

                      My only hope is that as a Hawthorn supporter, Stevic therefore hates Geelong!

                          Mmm.Meredith gave the Papley decision.

                            For what it's worth, I thought Meredith was poor last week and I was hoping he wouldn't be umpiring this week. I didn't think Stevic was too bad, although he did seem to ignore a fair few holding the ball and interference in the marking contest decisions, that he could have paid to us. I also think he's actually been pretty good, most of times that we've had him this year. Which are words that could come back to haunt me. And I don't really know who Hosking is. Which is possibly a good thing, since if he's umpired any of our games, then he hasn't noticeably offended me.

                              Not sure if you are being ironic?

                              Stevic is known for having a massive Hawks premiership celebration image as his Facebook background during the “free kick, Hawthorn” years (he took it down after backlash when the fact was made public).

                                I'm wondering whether Sam was withdrawn from PF as a precaution, we had a good lead at the time and maybe they decided another running type was a good idea. There was a happy look on Sam's face after the match and Longmire didn't seem duely concerned ...
