00:00I'll be Morgan obviously with illness, how big a blow is that with Nob's company out as well?

00:04Yeah but we've got Josh Onama, it's obviously a sign. We've got Sonny Kerry, Ryan Finnegan

00:09in those areas so I thought Sonny played really well on Monday night. So we've got other players

00:15that can come in and fight for their places so obviously we hope Albie gets a quick return

00:23but there's other boys that can step up to the plate.

00:26Yeah it's a big opportunity because it has mainly been Lee and Albie midfield so it's a

00:30good opportunity for others now. Yeah and the players have had to be patient a lot of times

00:37then you've got to be ready but as you said you've got the Johnson's paint so we'll get

00:41boys like Elk in some minutes and get his sharpness up and then you've got Harry get

00:48away the next following week so by the next two or three weeks we should have

00:52quite a full squad to pick from.
