Winderlich to miss!!

[Mr Mosquito]

On efc.com it has just been stated that winders will miss due to a back injury. i really hope this is not a reoccurrence of his past injury.

[Skeeta Olly]

Brent Prismall is a chance to make his senior debut for Essendon this week after being named in the Bombers’ squad of 25 ahead of their clash with Adelaide on Sunday.

The Bombers could make up to six changes to the side which was convincingly beaten by Geelong last week. Scott Lucas, Kyle Reimers, Courtenay Dempsey, Tyson Slattery and Darcy Daniher have also been named on the extended bench.
Henry Slattery (hamstring), Jason Winderlich (back) and Tom Bellchambers (knee) will all miss through injury.


Posted it also in changes.

One of those neagles is supposed to be Pears.

Prismall is in however which is a good positive and Dempsey is back too.

For those Reimers freaks. He has been named on the wing.

Says in the team selections part that its an ankle injury. Which one do you believe?????

[AndyLesPaul]

CARN THE DONS

I'M LIKING THIS TEAM (bar winders :()

It seems it's only an ankle injruy though.

[bacon buster]

says ankle on the herald sun website, not back?

[SirJimi05]

Riemers, Prismall and Dempsey are in.

Who will make the interchange out of Houli, Lucas, Jetta, Skipworth, Slattery, Zaharakis, Daniher?

I'm guessing it is Houli, Zaharakis, Jetta and Skipworth.

[DapperDon]

So is Winders back or ankle?

****ing praying it's his ankle:(

[jbct]

Riemers, Prismall and Dempsey are in.

I'm guessing it is Houli, Zaharakis, Jetta and Skipworth.

Would like to see T Slattery get the nod over skipworth or jetta. Kid played pretty well in the NAB CUP i thought. Houli will stay. Jetta may be dropped but he may stay for the speed factor. Midfield has to be hard at the ball as ryder will be rucking most of the day

[Jaymin]

I'd say Daniher would play. With Slattery out and Hooker having to chop out in the ruck we need another defender.

[AndyLesPaul]

I'd say Skipworth's out and Daniher's in.

I assume Winderlich's just pulling up sore from the match, it won't be anything serious.
Just making way for Reimers and Prismall ;)

[GoldenboyHird_5]

"Unfortunately Jason Winderlich and Henry Slattery will both miss with injury this week. Henry will miss with a hamstring injury and Jason has a little bit of an irritation in his back. Luckily it is not linked to his previous injury, he just got a heavy knock a few weeks ago and is still just feeling the effects of that. We are fairly confident that both players will be available for selection next week.

Tom Bellchambers will miss this week with a knee injury. We initially thought it would be an ACL or a torn lateral medial but he’s come through pretty well and we think he’s only going to miss three to four weeks now. "

Nothing to be concerned with about Winda.

From the horse's mouth this one.

I think Adelaide are playing three tall forwards (?) so Jetta might be handy. Hopefully he can find the ball and use it.

I like the sound of Dempsey and Houli back as well.

[SirJimi05]

I'd say Daniher would play. With Slattery out and Hooker having to chop out in the ruck we need another defender.

By the looks of it McVeigh will be playing in Slattery's role this week which i think would be a good thing because he is such a good shut down defender and i don't think he quite has thr match fitness to play on the ball yet.

[AlwaysRight]

:thumbsu:

Tyson showed great pace and decision making skills during the NAB cup. I personally cant wait for him to make his debut.


REIMERS IS BACK! WOOOOT! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Darealrath]

That's screwed. Massive loss. Hope he's right after the break.

[yaco55]

IC; Houli, Lucas, Zaharakis, Skipworth.

[efcboy]

winderlich was sore after that head high bump from coughlan - he did limited training last week and probably shouldn't have played. i was very concerned that spine rattling bump would stir up his back complaints and sure enough.......

interesting - coughlan hits winderlich high hurting him and gets nothing.

- lovett-murray shirtfronts pettifer and gets 3 weeks and pettifer ok. i guess the tribunal saw red...

[R_n_B]

Both the article and the team line up page on the EFC webiste state Winderlich's injury is an ankle. Souns more re-assuring.
Does that mean his injury is NOT infact back related?
Whatever the case, the injury doesn't sound serious. If it was, I'm sure their would have been a major article on the EFC + AFL website about it.

[Ryder_Hooker]

"Unfortunately Jason Winderlich and Henry Slattery will both miss with injury this week but we are fairly confident that both players will be available for selection next week."

From the EFC website....a little more promising...:thumbsu:

[SDR223]

Big loss but hopefully the players coming in will be fit enough to cover him.

You're not seriously comparing the two are you? World of difference.

Not good news about Windy, but resting this week and then the split round should do him some good.

[Valve Bounce]

*cuts wrist*

Slashes throat :eek:

[bacon buster]

bad out, but it's not going to cost us the game.

loving his work this year, hopefully he only misses this week.

[daffo]

I don't think it'll be a serious injury. Hopefully he'll be back next week.

[BringBackCransberg]

I'm sorry to raise this if it has already been thrashed out elsewhere (and also after so long), but:

I thought Coughlan should've gotten weeks for what he did. It seems inconsistent with a lot of other rulings over the last year or two. It was rash -- you're always supposed to try to keep your feet in football these days, so it really seemed as if he went in to the contest as he did because he knew Winderlich had better position (i.e. in an effort to win the ball Coughlan purposely went to ground, leading to nothing else but a high, very dangerous hit on Winderlich). If Winderlich was given a free kick for it, that means Coughlan was in the wrong. Why didn't the AFL fully draw out the wrongness of his action?

It riles me because from other people I've talked to about it they say that it looked worse than it was, etc, but now we can see it's obviously had consequences. It was dangerous stupidity from Coughlan masked by the fact that he was attacking the ball. There are only certain ways that you can attack the ball, and when your opponent's in a better position than you there are less ways to do it. And that's the way it should be -- the better football team should be given priority.

It wasn't intentional and it wasn't avoidable, so they couldn't have charged him.

[BringBackCransberg]

I'm saying that it was avoidable -- all he had to do was keep his feet. It all happened quickly. That means that either A) Coughlan was automatically going to ground, which is unlikely in the modern game, or B) Winderlich and the ball crept up on him and he went into protective mode, which I think is dubious -- what did he expect to happen? I think Coughlan was caught off-guard, yes, but his instinct was reckless and dangerous, and in light of the other decisions the tribunal has made over the last couple of years, something that is trying to be removed from the game. He should've been penalised if the AFL wants to remain thoroughly consistent. Winderlich could've been killed, Coughlan could've done more to prevent it. Even if it comes down to instincts, they're instincts the AFL must remove. It's the same with on-field decision making -- players have their instincts changed. There's an aspect of the game they (the AFL) want to weed out and if they're serious about it they'll penalise it even at the level of instinct.

I'm serious -- someone getting their neck broken on the field and killed will be absolutely devastating. Of course. The AFL need to do everything they can to prevent that from happening. It's more likely to happen at AFL level than anywhere else. Coughlan could've gone into that contest very differently. You can penalise instinct. Fletch's trips over the years have all been penalisable. Same with Barry Hall's Staker-Shaker. They want to protect the head/neck they've got to change some modern day instincts. The game is getting faster and tougher and players are under more pressure than ever to put their head over the ball -- they need to be protected, and the players at the highest level need to have that protective instinct. Life and death must come before winning and losing. I know it sounds dramatic but just wait for the drama of an on field death in the AFL. It's one insanely physical game.

[efcboy]

michael long was crucified for a bump on troy simmonds - when you look at replays the incidents were similar with longs impact more severe. however the movements were very similar. coughlan was lucky to escape without a punishment.

personally i thought the coughlan bump was much more dangerous than lovett-murrays. coughlan rattled winderlich's neck/spine. lovett-murray shirt-fronted pettifer with much less potential for serious injury.

[just jetta]

I would rather OUT Windy IN Prismall than OUT Windy IN Some hack.
