What do you mean train with our vfl side?

 

[Theo X]

They'll play VFL if fit

 

[Tempy Tiger]

So is Frost's injury a navicular? Is 'turf toe' the same thing? Misson should be feeling a little heat with four hamstring injuries on the list.

Vandenberg proving to be a gun recruit gone. tough grunt in the midfield has lost a bit
Garland, in his best form since 2013
Salem, missing his smooth skills and elite kicking coming out of defence
Kent, speedy and puts the pressure on in our forward half
Frost as similar to kent but he is a tall

INJURIES SUCK!

 

[schmuttt]

All clubs get injuries though, ours just look bad because we have 0 depth.

Bloody hell, that's one I didn't expect...

 

[d33my]

Garland out really hurts us I reckon. After a week where our defence got trounced, it won't do them good to have to adjust structures etc.

At least Grimes can come in as a straight swap. Someone else goes down and we're looking at Terlich or McKenzie coming in, or dropping Pedersen back and bringing in the Light and Saviour Dawes, etc.

No, not the same. A navicular injury is a stress fracture of the actual navicular bone. Turf toe is a strain/sprain of the connective tissue between the bones of the foot and any one of the toes. Both can be a real nightmare for an athlete to recover from - but the navicular tends to be slower healing because of poor blood supply to the navicular bone.

So what does Frost have?

 

[Ando727]

So what does Frost have?

I don't know, he hasn't stopped by my office. If you see him, tell him to bring me a sandwich...

 

[PerfectFooty]

I've been putting of rewatching Futurama, but this is the tipping point. It's a sign

Yeah, it's worth revisiting every few years. Great show.

To whoever it was weeks (months?) ago who went early on Sam Frost being the new 426, I salute you. Apparently the guy's career is over, if the progress on the estimated return date is anything to go by.

 

[Headless]

Frost out for the 426 with a fractured toe
