Injury 2015 Injury Thread

[Sentinel]

I was looking but couldn't find a consolidated injury thread for this year after seeing Caleb Daniel go down, so thought I'd kick start one to use as a reference throughout the year.

As at 23rd March (hasn't been updated since), our list was as follows:

Shane Biggs (Hamstring) - 1-2 weeks
Zaine Cordy (Shoulder) - 4-6 weeks
Nathan Hrovat (Ribs) - Test
Jason Johannisen (Concussion) - Test
Tom Liberatore (Knee) - Season
Fletcher Roberts (Groin) - Available
Clay Smith (Knee) - TBC
Easton Wood (Concussion) - Test

Add to that Caleb Daniel who's likely to miss 6 weeks of footy: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-04-02/young-bulldog-sidelines-for-at-least-a-month

Wood, Hrovat and Johannisen are all in the named 25 for round 1 so clearly they've passed fit.

Sad news for the kid. But maybe a gentler introduction into the AFL world could have been good for him.

 

[TempletonTheRat]

is there any news on Hamling after reports of him not training?

 

[dull_high_ahoy]

I'd like to know this too... Be good to get games into hamling asap

 

[Tommycash]

The only solace if Hamling is injured is that Roberts was BOG and Talia was solid for the firsts.

Looks like we might get to see Biggs in the RW&B for the first time this weekend.

Thats looking a lot better now (not that it was ever overly bad, aside from Libba of course ). Biggs back, Cordy only a month off, Daniel a couple of weeks and isn't Clay supposed to be back the same week as round 2?! or round 2 in the VFL?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

I'd be worried if I were the person that updated that injury list. I don't think Clay would be too happy seeing he's still listed as TBC.

He's coming for them.

 

[TempletonTheRat]

I would still like to know what is going on with Hamling

didn't train last Thursday and didn't play VFL and he is not on the injury list

 

[wian]

if we somehow made finals, would libba be a sneaky chance ?

I wonder if maybe he just has a little niggle and he's being rested? But knowing the club, it would be in no way surprising if he had a major injury.

No reports of injuries from the Richmond game as far as I'm aware but didn't like the look of Dickson limping down the race after the match.
See the White King interview with Minno (0.55 secs).

I'm hoping it's just a bit of cramp.

Hopefully just a bit tired from kicking so many goals.

Zaine Cordy being ahead of schedule also makes me very happy

 

[fronkalicious]

Keen to see Biggs as well. He'll carve up the vfl.

Do you like him as a mid or off the HBF fronkalicious ?

 

[Maddog1980]

All the best for this weekend Clay. I'll have all my fingers and toes crossed for you.

A couple of things I'd like to see...really like to see. When they put out a video on our injured players... 1. make it honest.
2. make it comprehensive. And 3., if they are going to do it as a question and answer session, for God's sake, show/play
the question as well as the answers. It is seriously frustrating trying to guess from the answer, what the question was, and
who it was pertaining to.
Come on Doggies, get your act together.

Agreed - I also find this quite frustrating

We were saying this all last year and the year before too, I think. They may have their reasons for not being candid but if they don't explain them (in a general sense at least) then they can expect to keep copping the ire of the members.
If we are their "most important asset" then stop treating us lightly.

 

[paul scholes]

Apparently Dal Santo had hamstring " tightness" and was a chance to play this week!
I just wish they'd cut the B/S some of these clubs, as it really doesn't serve any purpose . It in fact gives a clubs fan base a disservice

 

[fronkalicious]

Finds the ball pretty easily in both roles and uses it well. Not completely sold on his defensive stuff just yet but he was a cheap gamble in the off-season. He'll okay plenty of senior footy for us this year IMO.

 

[Hoges64]

Wood with a Hamstring complaint?

Or just a BF BS rumour?

EDIT: Ah, I see it's in the "Easton Wood" thread. Carry on.

 

[fargy]

As said in other threads reported by Staphy (Stevo) that he will miss a couple.
