Injury Injury Curse strikes again? (Smith & Cox...)

Here we go again: Smith with left ankle concern (did his right ankle around this time last year); Cox with possible hammy issue. After Kate Sheehan's knee on the weekend you have to start wondering if we need some supernatural assistance in breaking the injury curse that has plagued us over the last few years.

All good it seems. So that's good.

I might get a Game Yet

I think our preseason injury list is pretty good compared to previous years.

Shhhhhh. There's still three and a half weeks to go. Go with some reverse psychology.

You obviously havent seen him play over the past 5 years. He is a liability to any team. I think its good because we will funtion better without him. Im sorry that I like to see my team perform

It be like me saying I hope Keeffe/Blair does a ACL because they are Useless

 

[pablo disco bar]

Just hope mason takes his hand off it....

 

[Kilmo]

So in one session we had Smith (ankle), Cox (hamstring), Daicos (hamstring) and Mayne (hand)...

All hopefully minor but that's a bit annoying!

And more scans for Wells.

Where did the Daicos Injury Come From?

 

[Kilmo]

Where did the Daicos Injury Come From?

From the same article:

Ruckman Mason Cox left training early after grabbing at his right hamstring; Josh Daicos received treatment on his left hamstring before retreating into the rooms and Chris Mayne hurt his right hand in a ground-level contest.

Mayne had a sizeable ice pack on his hand after copping the injury towards the end of the session.

Bit of a nothing article that one

If he's not training with the main group and is going off for scans, you can't blame anyone for being skeptical at the very least..

 

[Soaring Magpie]

All minor issues that won't affect our round 1 side I would have thought

So you've obviously got more insight into his worth than professional recruitment, coaching and performance staff who have access to all sorts of video footage, stats, and information from his past coaches and team-mates, and who make assessments of players for a living? Yep, those handfull of games you saw him in is enough for a Collingwood "supporter" to basically say nobody at the club knows what they're doing. Post your resume will ya - you're clearly in the wrong job.

He hasn't played well for a couple of years, true. But about 3 years ago he was great. So it seems like you haven't seen him play for the last 5 years, just the last couple.
