According to the paper, was knocked out in a training drill, being tested for concussion later today.
Any chance he'll miss Friday night? If so, i believe we're in alot more trouble than we were.... Many like to argue about his impact in the team, especially without Lloydy there... I fear we might just see.....

He will be fine, hit his head on the ground during one of the contested drills. Took him a few minutes to get up but he was fine shortly after. Was laughing about it with Sheedy before he went of the ground.

Well he is more than capable of doing it, he just needs the midfield to look to pass it to him a bit more.
..i love walks..

Thats just it if the midfield looked for him rather than Lucas he will beat his opponent in the air every time.:thumbsu:

Will any body kick it in front of him to run onto, instead of kicking it over his head. Dyson the only bloke to kick it in front of him did it twice and now is dropped.

Winderlich is more than capable at this role and he should get more of an oportunity to as he won't need to play as far back with Cole providing the extra rebound.

Then maybe this week Winderlich should kick the ball instead of handballing over his shoulder.

Hopefully we move it better and we don't have 4 opponents around us every time we have the ball

It's wierd hearing "Johns knocked out", it's just couldn't imagine him being knocked out, i could only imagine his opponents being knocked out.

Automatic omission once Lloyd is declared fit..a no brainer for me.

Pretty much, we dont want to kick it to him and his second efforts are non existant.

Are you watching the same Johns as the rest of....the one that is slower than the Titanic turn and has worse second efforts than Fevola....????

Normally I'd defend him, but I can't after tonights performance.
I do agree with Ant that they shouldn't have kicked to a double-teamed Lucas all of the time and utilized him more. But I say that John's is partly at fault for not continuously presenting - just giving the single lead.
