This week’s magnet board poses some challenges, largely because of our most recent injuries to key players in Ben Reid and Luke Ball, along with the short turnaround ahead of the ANZAC Day clash with Essendon. Getting the obvious out of the way first, we need to find replacements for the irreplaceable Reid and Ball…

The Magnet Board: Round 3
It’s time to break down the potential changes ahead of our clash with the Blues this week.
