\u201cTalia will be managed. He\u2019s done what he can to get up, but the smart call is not to risk him. He\u2019s got some general soreness, so we\u2019ll make sure we get that one right\u2026<\/p>
\u201cChayce – he won\u2019t play this weekend. It won\u2019t be a body management thing, it\u2019ll be more about trying to free Chayce up, have a bit of time out of the game, see if we can get him back to his best footy which we haven\u2019t seen over the last couple of weeks.<\/p>
\u201cHe\u2019s got some weapons that unfortunately he hasn\u2019t been able to find over these last few rounds – sometimes a freshen up to take the weight off your shoulders. We\u2019ll get him back in before the season\u2019s out because he\u2019s a very important part of our future.<\/p>
\u201cBrodie will play\u2026 it would be good to have Smithers getting back into the form we\u2019re after. He\u2019ll play a number of different roles. We might have a look at him across halfback at a point, maybe back in the midfield depending how we\u2019re going.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
