So Jaensch may be good to go after all, no broken ribs apparently.

I'm curious as to how that could be such an epic misdiagnosis?

On one of the footy shows through the week they said 3 broken ribs. Was that just a bit of a fill the gaps by them?

Good for the fantasy team to have him back

Update on Crouch Senior

[Lachie p]

Jaensch a possible late withdrawal?

Jaensch a possible late withdrawal?

Unlikely, should play

 

[GROTTO]

Good and Bad news about Crouch.

Good news is that he is doing some running, the bad news is that the fracture is healing slowly and his return looks certain to be delayed. I cant see him returning to the team till around R15.

I presume Hendo and VB are out for the year, I cant see them pressing for selection.

The AFC website has just said in an article that Henderson should be playing SANFL in a month.

Thanks for that, great news. With that said, a month from now is about R14 and a month in the SANFL is about R18. Should be interesting.

 

[George 13]

Good news that Hendo is tracking along okay, Hopefully we are in the hunt for finals when he is fit, It could make a big difference if he is in form.

 

[GROTTO]

Good to see that there is still plenty of upside to our team at the moment.

Crouch, Lynch and Hendo be all part of our team from R17 onwards would be great. 3 Big games around that time - Hawks (H) Pies (A) and Eagles (H)

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Better news on Hendo than I think any of us expected!

Goes back to my earlier statement that he is on course for a r17 return.

Lynch, Crouch, Otten and Hendo to replace our bottom 4 players and that's a significant improvement.

I am very biased but I firmly believe our best 22 can beat anyone if they bring their A game.

So who do they replace? Wright, hartigan/Rutten, pods, Cameron, crouch Jnr? Some tough calls to be made.

Under performers should make way. Pressure in the SANFL will help. Competition will bring out better efforts.

If Tex was any "other" forward he may have been dropped. What I am trying to say is that if Smack or LJ produced that effort on Thursday he would be dropped. Tex needs a solid 4-6 games before he gets his mojo back.

Wright, Hartigan/Rutten (probably Hartigan), Martin.. and one other. Odds are that injuries will open up vacancies anyway.

 

[GROTTO]

Problem with us is that we dont have the depth to cover injuries so when they happen to whoever it invariably hurts us.
The only major player from last year where posters have felt we havent missed is VB.

The only 'blessing' for the Lynch injury is that he probably shouldnt lose any fitness and probably wouldnt hurt him to pack on some kilos of muscle. It could be a while till Crouch and Hendo play for us and be effective as well.

I still feel that Sando's plan to strip weight has cost us our ability to nail tackles this year.

Forgot about Martin.

 

[Allefgib]

If we can get Hendo back in 4 to 6 and keep playing as we did vs Pies... serious weapons with Jaensch/Smith/Hendo off half back...

All comes down to intensity. I'm slowly starting to see the gameplan coming together. Slowly. Still not totally in love with it - but if the intensity is there it looks better.

 

[Harris Pilton]

I dunno. Charlie Cameron seems to manage OK with his 72 kg.

Update on Senior

 

[Plugger46]

Tex needs some more SANFL time TBH

 

[Glenno23]

Tex needs some more SANFL time TBH

Nah. He won't get the speed of AFL playing the SANFL. Let him get the pace back (of the game) where he belongs

He just drops mark to easily and looks scared to jump

 

[Glenno23]

He's already shown he's too good for the SANFL

Just persist. Its not like we're flying at the top of the ladder
