Where are you hearing 2 weeks!!!!

It's an in-joke pertaining to being told a player is two weeks away for 16 weeks.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Where are you hearing 2 weeks!!!!

I pray it's the continuation of a running gag.

edit: I was right. Phew.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Shut up.

Short piece on AFL website about Greenwood/Wood:

LEVI Greenwood will miss North Melbourne's round 23 clash against Melbourne with a minor calf injury, but the Roos are extremely confident the rejuvenated midfielder will be fit to play in week one of the finals.

Greenwood injured his calf at North training on Wednesday.

North is expected to make a number of changes for Saturday night's clash with key forward Mason Wood already confirmed to make his debut.

A North spokesman told AFL.com.au on Thursday that Greenwood had been ruled out, but scans had revealed the injury was minor.

"Fortunately, the injury is at the very minor end of the scale, but with the finals coming up the club will take a cautious approach," the spokesman said.

"Levi won't play against Melbourne, but the club is extremely confident that he'll be right to play in the first week of the finals."

After falling out of favour at Arden Street in 2012 and 2013, when he played just 11 games, Greenwood has been one of North's most-improved players this season.

Since breaking into the Roos' team in round two as the substitute, the South Australian has averaged 25 possessions a game and been North's most consistent midfielder.

Greenwood sits fourth among North players in the AFL Coaches Association player award, having polled 34 votes. Only Brent Harvey, Ben Cunnington and Scott Thompson have polled better.

Someone had to squeeze all of the juice out of their mind grapes for that headline.

If Black is rested and Wood performs, who plays next week?

 

[B4Bear]

I wouldn't be surprised at seeing Turner miss out.

Suprised no.

Pissed off yes.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Good luck to Mason on his debut.

 

[Wild Bill]

Black

NM/Melb – Wells, Hansen, Currie, Macmillan, Wood for Firrito, Thomas, Greenwood, Goldstein, McDonald. McKenzie, Riley for Garland, Pedersen

 

[Deep We11s 1]

Black

Both?

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Solid title change, Flawed Genius .

The list actually amazed me. Time for Currie to shine.

Firrito and Goldstein - Soreness
Thomas - Knee
McDonald - Back
Greenwood - Calf

Although this could spell the end of our alignment with Werribee I really like those changes. Fit, firing, hungry list the following week.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Sounds like they just made up injuries so it didn't look like we were doing a Freo (dropping a large % of the squad for rest).

Large? ... It's less than a quarter.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Large? ...

In relative terms 5 outs is pretty big. Almost 1/4 of the squad.


How often would a team willingly drop 1/4 of their squad for no reason?

The good old give players a rest week
