Injury Injuries 2015 : The state of No Play

[Banker]

Wot?

A reasonable standard of care needs to be applied. Allowing a bloke who has had 3 knee recons to train when he clearly stated its sore can be a problematic. In a couple of years he might try to make a case the club was negligent. Its reached a stage where the club have to protect themselves.

Horrible news about Silvagni, but not unexpected. Had a feeling it would be a bad hammy after the reports form posters at the Peel game. The club is in a strong position atm, but also a precarious one.

Really? Have you heard the bloke talk about the club? He is so grateful for believing in him. Why is it that every time there is a whisper about Mora that you need to drop your turds all over it?
Actually, bugger it. Congrats to my first ignored.

 

[yakka man]

You would think that Tanner Smith is a good chance to be upgraded now, with Silvagni likely to go on the long term injury list.

A Pearce before Tanner. Imagine a team with three Pearces!!!!

Doesn't matter how he feels now, in a couple of years when he can't walk properly he might just have a look back at the medical advice he received.

Like I said its the club trying to mitigate any risk, which is quite substantial now given the situation. I have no doubt Mora hasn't said anything bad for the club to act this way, but you obviously don't understand that football is a business end of the day.

We could then recruit Guy's brother, Col Pearce!

McPharlin better cancel his Bali holiday in August

Sylvia gives us an upgrade anyway I would think.

But I reckon we will wait until needed anyway.

We already have a C Pearce, alongside A and D. It's a B Pearce that we need.

We're not allowed to upgrade a rookie to replace Sylvia unfortunately. We will probably wait, but with Mcpharlin being 34 this year, and Dawson still a few weeks away, Smith is the most likely candidate. But you're right, the club doesn't usually jump the gun on these things.

Does Pierce Brosnan count?

Just asked in another thread as well: Why not? Only because we delisted him?

He's still on the books and list until the end of year.

There's a bit of a knock on his field kicking but he's a dead-eye set shot, I'd take the risk.

I've heard his peripheral vision is very good. He has a goldeneye

It's no different to an LTI in the sense he won't be playing any footy.

 

[Unique Name]

Yeah can't upgrade a rookie for Sylvia but we can for Silvagni.

 

[Schauermann]

He is? For me the words retirement means he leaves our list now. Well actually in most cases of retirement somewhere is stated something like effective immediatly or at seasons end. Can find anything like this...

 

[yakka man]

Except that he is technically in playing condition. He can line up for Peel, but Silvagni can't.

Ahh k. Fair enough.

Except the "playing condition" part. I hear Kelmscott Amateur reserves are looking for numbers though.

Seen a photo of him lately? He's been in a good paddock.

 

[ydraw]

We've actually had a pretty horrible run with injuries over the last 9 months.

Kepler Bradley, Gumbleton retired due to injuries. Looks likely that Morabito will also retire. Sylvia retired to a combination of injuries and poor conditioning, and the ongoing injury issues for Silvagni don't bode well for his career considering his age either. His season is basically done and he'll be 28 next year.

I hear that a kid from the bush - Blodwyn Pearce - goes ok

 

[free at last]

****ing devoed for Silvagni.
The lad just bleeds purple IMO.
