Fair enough. This season has become a what if scenario for me anyway now. Injuries have cruled us
Whitfield out for the rest of the year after a shoulder reco and foot surgery. Was the shoulder coming, or a recent injury? I have been on holidays, and missed the freo game etc.
Sucks about Whitfield. He's a gun, I love watching him play. The shoulder must've been something he was carrying, or right at the end of the game, because I can't recall him going off hurt, and he was one of the best on ground.

Best to get him right for next season where with a bit luck we might be challenging for a finals spot

Brutal few weeks for us. We still have a percentage on both the Lions and Saints though - both will need to win at least one more game.
Sad for Jeremy but happy we have a genuine reason for his form. It was hard to explain his lack of explosiveness this year, now we know 100% that the kid was wounded.
Hopefully he comes back bigger and better than ever and signs a nice 5 year contract with the Giants as well.

But let's face it, we've known he hasn't been right for a while. Get him ready for next year.

This is good news for Boyd.
Although it's not really good news at all.

It sure explains his lack of form this season.
Better to pull the plug now, and make sure everything's right for next year.

Boyd will play out the rest of the year now. Maybe we will bring Giles back in? Or will we blood McCarthy/Stewart more
Could also bring in a Wilson or Lamb and use Tomlinson more as the third tall every now and then...
This
My one annoyance with the Giants as a club (and they are probably no different to any other) is some of the rubbish we hear or don't hear on injuries. Leon a couple of weeks ago was saying Jeremy was fine, hearing Jeremy interviewed about the surgery clearly he wasn't.
Any way great to get Jezza to sort it out properly and give Boyd more opportunity.

Can we take any more injuries? Now Timmy Mohr is out

Looks the process of getting ops on the guys who need them is now in full swing with Mohr joining Cameron,whitfield,cogs in getting surgery

I wanted either petracca or Pickett in the draft... Get the best KPD please
How soon do we get Hampton and Haynes back? Not really like for like on Mohr but they would be handy ins right about now.
Haynes is also gone for the season & Hampton might be back for rd 22-23 so doubt we will bring him back this season.
So would think we would look at Frost & Jaksch to fill in the gap for Mohr
Poor Tim Mohr...just had a bugger of a year with injury. Even though he still makes the odd clanger I reckon he's going to be a real good defender. His speed and agility through the back is very impressive.
Looks like we are putting a few out to pasture, with us not a finals contender it makes sense giving them every chance to do a full pre-season. Reckon Dylan Shiel will be the next cab off the ranks.
We will find it hard to win again with all the outs but as long as the lads keep developing. We can give some nice minutes to Boydy and Kelly which will help them heaps and blokes like WHE and maybe Bunts who have had injury interrupted careers can really start shining.
Looking like we might finish with pick 2 in the draft if results go as I expect them. That should net us Petracca who I suspect we really want. He is the x factor Bontempelli of 2014.

If this keeps up Whiley, Barrett, Stewart AND Golds will be playing in a week or two...
If this keeps up I'll be lacing up the boots in a few week's time.
Don't panic, we still have Gilham to come back....on second thoughts, start your warm up mate...
Just read it was a torn ACL for Mohr. That is not putting out to pasture stuff. Depending how bad that could delay or wipe out his preseason
