Devastated to hear the news. Frustrating that something so innocuous can put a player out for so long, all this does is delay future stardom. Hope it's a full and speedy recovery.

This is his first and hopefully last ACL as last year was a different issue all together.
I know it's a different issue, but is it the same knee?

Seems J O'Rourke might've busted his jaw:
And that proved to be right and he will miss the next 6 weeks along with Jaksch. Also Phillips has had a set back and will miss the next 3 weeks.

Good to see Tyson is on target, and from memory his return date might be around the time UWS face the three AFL reserves sides in consecutive rounds which will be a good test for him.
Phillips might've been handy against the Suns this week after last years cameo...
Hopefully O'Rourke and Jaksch can get on a roll with UWS when they return and get some AFL minutes later in the second half of the year.

Looks like Phil Davis will be spending some time on the sidelines

Setanta O'hAilpin also will miss the Bombers game.

Just when you think it can't get any worse....

.... ok I'm gonna try and think positive here - One of the NEAFL defenders will get a run in the top grade - he'll have a break out year, and we'll realise we don't need to recruit another KPD because he's so &^*^ awesome.
Corr and Bruce that's your queue.

It is going to be a slaughter. No wonder they are giving away free tickets.
Faaaaaark.
I'm starting to think we might go winless after all.
I honestly can't see us beating anyone this season now. We look less competitive than last year where it looked like we could scrap a game or two. And I think teams have learnt to not take it easy with us.

I don't know if I feel that pessimistic, but our injury list is sobering.
How a club manages injuries is just as important as having the best recruiters and the best players. I hope we're well spoken for in that department.
But that's the reality of having a young list. We need all those young bodies to physically mature. Then we'll be better placed to cope.
With all the millions of dollars being pumped into the Giants by the AFL, it is clearly NOT being spent on Ice Bath Technology. How many other teams use wheelie bins?

I wondered about that myself. Must make them easier to move around...

It's been funny. I think we're been playing worse this year, but we've actually been closer in most games so far. That might change now, but where we used to have to play out of our skin to win a game, it now looked like we could win a game even if we weren't at our absolute best. So more competitive but worse.

Probably a stop gap mechanism until the new training facilities are up.

I agree here. When I say competitive, I mean more in terms of competing for the ball. We seem to have a lot less mongrel in us this season. Missing McDonald, Power and Cornes have been big I think. Our good moments ARE better than last season but our bad moments are as bad as last season. And AFL is all about minimising the ratio of how good you are at your best to how bad you are at your worst.
They're three really big outs when you think about it. I know our focus has been youth but that's an awful lot of on field leadership gone. Especially in pivotal moments.
