On Darcy Moore

"He won't play this week but credit to him, he tried to get up."

"He didn't quite get through the session - he was reasonably close, he finished about 80 percent - so we will assess that and fingers crossed he's available next week.

"Anyone watching the game would have thought it wasn't going to be a good outcome for us... we're really grateful he was able to escape any structural or ligament damage.

"He's one of those players you just can't replace."

On Jack Madgen

Madge injured his thumb during match play.

"It looks like he's fractured his thumb pretty badly so he's going to miss a couple of weeks with that."

"He missed a couple of weeks with his shoulder and this is another setback for the guy.

"He's an incredible human and he's always really resilient.

"He's one of those players you love to coach, he's constantly asking 'what can I do? I'll do anything for you, play any roles.'

"We will have to rally around him."

On the playing group's connection

"I was really pleased with our level of connectedness and how in tune we were with each other this week."

"Every game presents something different but getting in tune with each other is something we're looking really comfortable with at the moment."

On Brodie Grundy

"He did his first half session today and joined a couple of drills."

"It was pleasing to see him out there.

"He will progress to full training next week."
