Injury Black gone for 3-4. Fractured hand.

[mINORITY]

Get well soon Blacky.

 

[jackess]

At least it's not the type of injury that could be career threatening at his age.

 

[Clackers]

One positive is that it happened on a Thursday. The extra 2-3 days of recovery could mean the difference between a 3 week and a 4 week injury.

 

[Sir G]

Thats got to hurt in every possible way...

 

[Hewie]

What a shame for Simon.He did well to solder on against Carlton.Will be difficult to replace.There are a couple of young blokes as well as Harwood who we can put in.Reserves will be intersting this weekend.

 

[BlackCaviar]

we are f'ed now, blacky is the glue that holds everything together
Simon black>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the rest of the lions midfield

 

[fortunatelygone]

Damn. Can't wait until he's back. He'll be back in time for the Collingwood match yeah?

 

[LION UP]

Just that it is the second best hand at the club.

Yeah as soon as I posted I had the thought actually best hands at the club, but just trying to keep optimistic. Maybe a chance for one of the younger boys to 'scuse the pun, put his hand up!

 

[BuntonRules]

All part of the plan to have him rested & firing for the finals.

300th agin the pies - classic.

all the best Blackie

We've done pretty good in past games that Blacky has missed. As good as he is, the loss of Bergs or Merrett would be a lot bigger of a blow. If our midfield can get their mojo back, we can cover the loss of Black. Not sure if we are good enough as a team to beat Freo either way though.

 

[Haggis McHaggis]

Wonder if it'd be worth sending the old man on an Arizona jaunt while he recovers? Seemed to work wonders for Swan.
