I'm very hopeful we get Johnson back for the derby.

 

[wild side]

Not a bad list considering the time of the season.
No excuses really.

We also know that the club is deliberating taking a slow and measured approach with Johnson so we can be confident that when he does come back, he'll be 100%.

Ross said on 6PR the other day that Johnson had a slight hiccip in recovery that has set him back a week so I'd say it'll be closer to 4 weeks rather than 2.

There has been many a season as a Freo supporter when we would have killed to have only two of our best 22 on the injury list in July.

juat sawa replay of mitchell kneeing fyfe
what a filthy prick
two weeks later and fyfes still proppy
I've got a renewed sense of outrage at the dirty little arsehole

s**t I didn't realise Hayden was out for the season.

Home and away season, clean tear, easy attachment.

Yeah, you still have to say it quickly though to make it sound less terminal!! bit like "it's only a flesh wound".

I've seen a tendon rupture before that looked like a bungee cord had snapped at all different places along a 30cm length, good luck fixing that back together. It's like trying to line up two hay bales like tiles, fuzzy edges and gaps.

According to Doc Larkins on the AFL Site the best Clancee can hope for is 4 weeks out. Otherwise surgery.

A real blow as injuries stuffed him late last year from memory as well.

If Larkins reckon Clancee is out for 4 weeks or longer, he'll probably be fine....Larkins thought ballaz could play against Richmond

 

[Taylor]

If Clancee misses a month after playing out the game he needs to get some serious bonus respect from the media.

Whilst being far less qualified (like not at all) I am more optimistic than the Doc.

It seemed to return to position easily enough and he was able to play on. Lots of discomfort for sure (and a chance that it will happen again) but I reckon he will make himself available in a week or so.

If he goes out for 4 weeks he might as well take the surgery, I reckon his position would be gone to Mzungu/Duffield/Grey etc

He wont want to miss out again.

RTB was just on 6PR, and said that Clancee would be available for selection this week. Doc Larkins is turning into the Kim Hagdorn of the medical world.

Lyon also said that Johnson would be back either in Round 19 (St Kilda) or 20 (West Coast).

There's one thing I've learned since Ross came to us, never, ever believe what he says to the media, particularly about injuries. He either has no idea or he tells blatant lies.

Lies

 

[ydraw]

Yeah our website also tells a lot of ridiculous lies about injury statuses.

 

[Vintage]

Hmm, between RTB's porkies and the doc's seemingly boundless incompetence it's hard to know what to think about injuries

 

[Quokka]

I'll believe it when I see it but **** it would be great to have Johnson back for the derby.

No, the game prior so he can get match fitness.

That's a pretty good looking injury list coming to the business end of the season. Duffy and Silvagni should play WAFL this week, Duffy giving depth if either Walters or Crozier go down, Silvagni giving depth if any of our KPD go down. Michael Johnson will be back in the next 2-3 and will have his body well rested and hitting his form once finals come around. In previous years we haven't had a great injury list going in to this time of the year.

Not sure how I feel about Johnno coming back straight into a massive game against WC from a long lay off with a serious hammy injury. He runs himself in to the ground at the best of times. Coming off limited game style training might mean he'll struggle a bit.
