Lloyd & Ryder Still In Doubt
Skipper Matthew Lloyd and ruckman Paddy Ryder will have until the end of the week to prove their fitness ahead of the Bombers’ “mini-final” with Hawthorn on Saturday at the MCG.
Coach Matthew Knights said both players would do some light work at training on Tuesday ahead of their final fitness tests later in the week.
“Both are progressing well but on Thursday and Friday they’re going to have to push and put the foot to the floor with their intensity on the training track,” Knights said at training on Tuesday. Both are moving forward but it’s not a fait accompli they’re going to play.”
Lloyd is battling a heel injury while Ryder missed last week’s loss to Fremantle because of a knee problem.
