Injury Injuries 2015 : The state of No Play

[purplerunsdeep]

That's a shite start to a Monday...

Also a bit of noise on Twitter that Fyfey had scans...

Can thank f'n Mitchell for that one

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Crozier's time to step up.

Caught on @TenNewsPerth camera .@freodockers Nat Fyfe getting scans - latest with @TimGossage tonight.

Hoppefully its Lachy and Gossage just trying to make something out of nothing...again

 

[PapaJ]

Had feeling it would be pretty serious when he did it, was hoping for a number of weeks and maybe back just before finals.

He looked so switched on Saturday night, what a pity.

could be a blessing in disguise

 

[enoenoeno]

Adversity breeds opportunity ...

 

[Dockernut]

Thought this might be the case with Balla. Good opportunity to play the yoof.

More than likely just scans of the Quad, to see how it is looking.

All this does is lock in De Boer's spot.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

You guys are making a bad habit of getting longish term injuries late in seasons.

The pec seems to be the new fad injury - and all (most) of them from tackling it seems

 

[DudleyDocker]

This is where the dislike button is sadly unavailable!

Don't think that will happen. Ross will be looking to someone who can play Ballantyne's role offensively (and defensively).

 

[Ragtooth]

Could Max Duffy be an option....has he been playing WAFL lately after his few weeks of 4 goals?

 

[Taylor]

Fremantle forward Hayden Ballantyne will miss the rest of the home and away season after rupturing his pectoralis major tendon in Saturday’s 42-point win over Carlton at Domain Stadium.

Does this mean the rest of the year or just until finals begin?

 

[holy diver]

Ive had a similar injury through sport. Rather painful and problematic to heal quickly.

Was injured. Not sure if recovered. I'd like to see Crozier lock down this position.

Duffy has a calf injury - listed as 2-3 weeks. His lack of a heart muscle is a longer term problem.

 

[beetz]

Although I'd prefer it be an omission and not an injury, Ballantyne wasn't in our best 22.

Looking forward to Crozier to step up and cement his spot. Knows where the goals are. Also tipping a debut now too.

 

[Dugg]

Larkins said Ballantyne had suffered an anterior subluxation – or partial dislocation – of the shoulder, but could play against Richmond on Saturday.

Nekminnut, Ballas has a torn pec.

Classic Doc Larkins.

 

[Banker]

So he is out for finals?

I don't like to wish injury on anyone but why couldn't it have been Mayne. I take a in form ballas over mayne anyday.

Just our luck the best players get injured.

 

[Max Connors]

Well if you're wrong, don't post these comments please unless you're certain.

Seems he was correct.

 

[holy diver]

He's been out of form so it doesn't seem so bad but geez we have been missing his scoring power.

Step up Crozier - steal his place and become a regular.

 

[Banker]

I think this would be the case if it was Mayne.

Ballas is one forward we actually needed as when he is in form he scores. All this means now is that Mayne is undroppable, so we better hope he steps up big time.

 

[Redgum]

Looks like emergency Weller may be the sub next week

 

[Sweetback]

He kicked four goals on the weekend.
