Darcy Cameron cleared of serious damage to his ribs. Only went to hospital as a precaution as it was the same area he hurt himself at training during the week. Still awaiting updates on Brody Mihocek (pectoral) and Isaac Quaynor (toe). Not looking good for Mihocek @FOXFOOTY

Saad to Carlton is a MASSIVE addition. Couldn't be happier if I was a Blues fan.

@redrock_bball Memphis is fine, was always going to be a rocky road with no Ja (albeit not expected to be this rocky). Chicago’s direction is plain confusing.
