Whisper around town about Patrick Dangerfield’s calf being no good proves on the mark.
Cats says he’ll miss 1-2.
Young forward Jay Polkinghorne has shown “early signs of overloading to his foot” and is being further assessed.
Toby Conway is back running.

I am not questioning Patrick Voss football skills and effort but do wonder if his extra antics are good for the team. Fans seem to love it but should the clubs head honchos and senior players have a word for him to rein it in. Your thoughts @freodockers fans?

Around the league, the average year 1 cap hit for free agent contracts was 50.5% of their new APY.
The Bengals did it at an 80.9% rate.
Let's say they were still on the conservative side but not at the extreme like they currently are. Let's say they were at the 55% mark.
They would have saved $12.17M on this year's cap.
Sure, that $12M would still need to be accounted for in future years, but that's just $6M per year and the Bengals have a projected $100M in cap space in 2027.
That extra $12M in cap space could have netted two more quality starters on defense.
$12m is 4% of the current cap.
$6M next year is just 1.8% of next year's projected cap.
The final years $6M would then be 1.7% of that year's projected cap.
4% now vs 3.5% in future years.
And that's the final tweet on how the Bengals structure contracts and how it limits them.

@trevoryoung Mullin has to tag otherwise he’s a complete liability .if tag isn’t working he’s then a complete liability also. Has zero game sense unfortunately.

@rodashman Mullin likely to play a shutdown role? Freo have some gun mids. Yes, baptism of fire to young Mitch - look forward to see how he handles it.

@petryan Some players should hang their heads in shame - starting with Jack Bowes.

Hopefully Zach Guthrie kicks three for the season, Tom Atkins six, and the rest of the club goes goalless in 2026 based on this list.
