[muttley45]

Yeah wasn't at the ground today

I was at the game and definitely saw Taz there

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

We need him for Walker.

I'm having nightmares of Tippett's efforts in Rnd 1 last year.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Good thing we drafted 3 defenders last year.

Which ones are fit, though?

 

[GarnerSmash]

Was doing run throughs yesterday apparently. If it aint structural he'll be right.

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Which ones are fit, though?

Petrie, Hansen, Thompson, Firitto, Durdin, Nielson, Waite, Daw...

We should be able to cover for a while if need be.

 

[jess_1804]

Which ones are fit, though?

There was an article on the AFL website today. Durdin is in full training, Nielsen is almost back to full training and EVW is fighting to be fit for round 1. So none.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Petrie, Hansen, Thompson, Firitto, Durdin, Nielson, Waite, Daw...

We should be able to cover for a while if need be.

Please remember what you said.

 

[Elite Master]

Did Drew step on his back?

Guess who is next on Drew's hit list..

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Please remember what you said.

Facetiously....

We drafted Durdin and Nielson (2 key backs) plus VW who was named as U18, AA FB.

We have planned for this.

 

[TruRoos7]

2 weeks

 

[Benj7]

He will be right

 

[Egga]

Petrie, Hansen, Thompson, Firitto, Durdin, Nielson, Waite, Daw...

We should be able to cover for a while if need be.

None of those guys can replace Tarrant.

Yeah he was. Saw a picture of him sitting on the sidelines/bench. Check the pictures on the website or app

What I'm told is that the back injury involves a "crack" inflicted by one of our overly enthusiastic youngsters at training.

The severity of this "crack" I do not know, could be anything on the scale from stress/hairline fracture to full break.

I walked away from today's game really excited about the year ahead but this has taken me back a cog or two.

I fractured a vertebrae and it was 3 months in a back brace, if it's true he's going to miss at least half a season I would guess.

I saw him walking today, he wasn't in a brace and was moving ok from what i saw.

 

[Horizons_00]

The full forwards are going to tear us apart if he doesn't make the first round

He is such a important player, I will be utterly shattered if this is serious or bad

2016 needs taz, I believe and hope he is ok and will recover well because he is such a beast

 

[Jack Bradley]

Yeah wasn't at the ground today

He was at the practice match but only watching

 

[Jasemon]

Yes he was at the ground and looked positive and smiling. Way too much melodrama around here sometimes.

If it was about McKay it'd be a Shakespeare production. : shifty look with tongue in cheek :

If it was Swallow, I'd be growing a Flock of Seagulls hairdo, cutting my wrists and listening to Evanescence.

So the truth is out... drew was holding the chainsaw

 

[DJ Dupree]

Drew to defence, Daw in as a fwd /ruck chopouterer.

I'm usually howled down as wrong, but the astute will agree with me.

 

[Egga]

Drew to defence, Daw in as a fwd /ruck chopouterer.

I'm usually howled down as wrong, but the astute will agree with me.

The astute will acknowledge Drew being in the forward line means Waite gets the second defender and Brown gets the third. Which means if Drew goes to the backline, he scores nothing, Waite scores less, Brown scores less and Daw adds not much at this stage.

 

[Dirty_11]

Well that's f***ed.
