Gives an oppportunity for a Kavanagh type to put up their hand.

What's the likelihood of him missing just the 1-2 games? Knowing our history with injury, its not probable, but * me we need him.
Recovered quickly from a broken collar bone last season.

That's true. Hopefully the same happens with this quad.

Which is what worries me. We're barely scraping along against bottom sides, Jobe out for 3-4 weeks would kill us.
If Myers gets done for a week and Jobe is also out for a few we may really struggle on the inside vs Melbourne.
If Myers gets looked at then surely Mumford as well.

Jobe's game was underrated tonight. there were a few passages of play when GWS were really coming at us, and his disposal settled us down.... took the risk out of the equation. those kind of things don't get picked up in stats.... but that's where I think he was a better player than Zaka / Stants. less clangers and more composed.

Myers won't be out. IF it's looked at he'll get body/low/reckless meaning 80 points, good record reduces it to 60 points and guilty plea 45 points

Jobe had his fair share of clangers last night. Direct handball turnovers on numerous occasions.
His effort just before his injury was magnificent and honestly a couple of blokes should be having a good look at themselves. I shouldn;t be blaming the players but we shouldn't have been in a position where Jobe had to extend himself to the point of injury in the last qtr.
Not really relevant, his collar bone was fixed surgically, which allows him to play whilst the bone is still a long way off healing.
4 weeks would be best case for a quad, can't rush this one.
If it is a quadricep strain it is a minimum 4 week recovery, more likely 5. So I would think he would be back for the Collingwood game in Round 17.

10 weeks. On the positive side, back for finals, Norm Smith and Premiership.

I said 6 weeks as soon as he did it, I don't think we will see him until round 18.

yeah doesn't sound good.
If what tim just said is true and it's up high where the muscle anchors to the hip then we're in a bit of trouble.
Although muscle is a lot better than tendon. Psoas tendon has cost Will Hams his whole season

Just mentioned on the pre game show that it is a hip flexor and is more likely to be 2-3 weeks.

That's odd considering everything coming out says 2-3 weeks.
When did Jobe apparently say this?
