Injury Fev & Brown Out

[Last of the Roys]

How much faith have we got in our medical / fitness department now. Brown out for 4-5 weeks, just 8 weeks too late. (Along with the continued enormous number of injuries year after year and 3-4 golden staph infections, and a team that is clearly the slowest in the competition.)

Believers, faithers, yes men, sycophants, club fluffers (I just came up with it and I love it) - explain this one..............

this part of the failure equation is the most scary.
you have a work-place that can cause death or at least serious injury.

 

[dlanod]

Yeah, because we don't have the knowledge they do. But hey, jumping up and down and shouting "off with their heads" works for everyone and you get to feel superior to the medical staff too!

Re Lionroars post:

....and that is NOT an exaggeration!!....there is definately a common denominator somewhere...they just have to find it..or will they hide their heads in the sand and say it is just a coincidence..

 

[chopperduck]

What else are we going to blame on the medical staff ? Seems the to have gone Staker>TJ>Medical Staff this year.

 

[Cousin Jed]

You've left Voss, Bowers and umpire Nicholls out of that scenario

 

[Nuggo]

Bloody jumper

 

[chopperduck]

You are completely right. Bowers>Staker>Nicholls>TJ>Voss>Medical Staff ??

 

[Hollow Knight]

Hope this isn't true.

 

[jackess]

I'm not completely against tanking at this stage. But the problem is why would players like Brennan and Rischitelli want to stay at the Lions if they did win the spoon?

 

[brenjay]

Horrible news TBD!

backline has been decimated.

Forward line is now decimated.

Midfield is ageing.

Might be worth putting some $$ for brissy to finish bottom now.

On the plus side - we can get some games into our youngsters

 

[Hollow Knight]

I'm not completely against tanking at this stage.

I am not against giving youngsters a go, but I will not in anyway support a coach who seeks to lose games. We are not Melbourne or Carlton.

 

[whizkizz]

False alarm I think. Thread seems to have been deleted or moved...

 

[Cousin Jed]

Deleted pending further info.

 

[Hollow Knight]

For those that missed it, it was a Main Board thread claiming that Brown was gone for the season and Fev for 4-6 weeks.

 

[Thrawn]

Seemed like a rumour with no credibility. Didn't even vaguely tell where he heard it from. No station or news outlet has reported anything thus far, so no news is good news for you guys.

Brown Injury

May not be the season but it looks like it could be longer than expected:

Aah now Vossy claims that he pushed Brown too hard!

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/96701/default.aspx

About 5 weeks too late Vossy.

This article really does imply that our medicos are way off the mark, as Vossy would have been acting on their advice.

Sack em! off with their heads!

Carlo I don't think Voss said anything of the kind. A sub editor has made that headline up. There is one question in the entire item concerning Browns injury.

Headline reads We pushed Brown too hard: Voss

Jonathan Brown was playing at 90 per cent fitness for a few weeks there. Do you think he was played for a bit too long while he wasn’t 100 per cent?
Probably. Certainly his initial program changed from what he was originally doing and then we went down a path that made some good ground quickly. When he made some ground that looked promising. But then he hovered for a couple of weeks and because of that it clearly showed he needed a rest to be able to recover. There is probably a fair element to suggest that we took a couple of weeks longer than what we perhaps should have but we had to make the call on the information that was in front of us.

 

[CarloLion]

i think the key tone that he has is that he regrets the way the situation was handled over the last few weeks.
Given the time again i reckon Vossy would have stepped in a bit earlier.
Thats how i interpreted it anyway

Rischitelli was reported as saying that he loves being at the Lions and loves being coached by Vossy.

Big bucks being thrown at Brennan but he is reported as saying he is enjoying being more of a leader at the club.

And if we do win the spoon after this horror season (highly unlikely) well.. we survived the 98 spoon OK.... all that would really matter is we would get pick 4 in the draft.

 

[CarloLion]

We arent going to win the spoon, thats ridiculous.

Weve got probably 2 to 4 wins left in us this year, given our matches to

come, which puts us way over where Richmond, Adelaide or West Coast could

possibly get to.

 

[Stocka]

We arent going to win the spoon, thats ridiculous.

Just when I had my hopes up that we might win something this year....

 

[Bluebear]

Being reported on our board that Fev might miss 4-6 weeks with a bruised heel. Always sus on these rumours. Anyone heard anything along these lines?
