Jye Menzie will be sidelined for the next two weeks due to a shoulder injury sustained early in the Bombers’ round five victory over the Bulldogs. Despite playing through the game following the injury, the 21-year-old has experienced significant soreness post-match.
Meanwhile, Matt Guelfi is making positive strides in his recovery from a calf strain that has kept him out since round two. The pressure forward aims to make his return for the Anzac Day match, pending his progress in training over the next fortnight.
Key defender Zach Reid’s rehabilitation is progressing smoothly, with the club prioritizing a thorough training regimen to ensure his readiness for a return to play. Dylan Shiel marked a successful comeback from an oblique strain in the VFL, showcasing his form with 18 disposals and six clearances on limited playing time. Additionally, Tex Wanganeen returned to action in the reserves following foot surgery, playing the second half of the game.
