Dream Team Couch – 2008 AFL Dream Team Blog

Matthew Pavlich - The big pav is listed as a test, but looks likely to play. Luke Mcpharlin has stated this about pav ”I think he’ll play, but we will see how he goes on the track. He was terrific two weeks ago and was a bit sore last week, so we will find out the day before the game if he will play or not,”. It looks as though it will be a late descision, a pain in the ****  for coaches, but im sure he will be keen to make it for the derby.

Rhys Palmer - Despite the club still considering him for surgery, he will play this week. Cant get rid of him after his dominant 31 possie game on the weekend.

Gary Ablett- He is not playing, the word from the cattery. Gazza apparently needs one more week to recover. Wojinski in the same boat.

Adam Goodes- His groin injury does not look the goodes at all! Roos reckons he will be out for 2-3 weeks, couple of days ago it was thought it could be 7 weeks, but this doesnt look  the case anymore…….
