Injury Lincoln McCarthy - injured ankle 7/5/16

[dazbroncos]

No.

Menzel - knee.
Cowan - Achilles, hamstring, Achilles, hamstring.
McCarthy - navicular, navicular, and navicular.

Definitely not Vardy.

Get your point - but I think you'll find Cowan had one achilles. Then the other. Led to the trip overseas and then was surgical corrected. IE, it was not the achilles. The hammy's came after he returned to play once both Achilles had been fixed. So in a sense, the achilles have been fixed and not been an issue since. The hammys more of an issue if one is looking for an issue. Either way, its been a long time.

Not quite. He missed a lot of time in 2013 and 2014 from hamstring issues. It wasn't a new issue unfortunately.

Lincoln appears to be over his injuries (at the present moment) and Paddy is quite impressed with how he looks on the track.

Would luv to see him back out there. But for a few cms he'd have kicked some nice goals in his few games he played.

Opened this thread and feared the worst. Thanks The rabbi.

I find this interesting.

He missed the entire 2013 season with a serious navicular injury that happened when he tried to outsprint David Wojcinski in a shuttle run in 2012.

The best part of 3 years out of the game for something as innocuous as sprinting.

Can't wait to see The Linc out there, we desperately need a quality small forward.

I'd be merely happy to see him trouble the scoreboard first before we labelled him a 'quality' small forward.

It is going to happen my friend. It is going to happen.

You had to do it didnt you.

Don't get me wrong mate, I rate him and I'm a fan, just not as much as you.

I was being a tad facetious.

 

[numbwombat]

Looked very promising in general play IMO, just choked something shocking in front of goals.

Funny I can't see where I labelled him a quality small forward.

Nor did I say you did, I was merely making a statement.

Post #657 ??

 

[sauron256]

This is the sort of player we normally lose.

(Worth a shot)

Post #657 ??

I said we're desperate for a quality small forward, and meant it in the context that Linc might become one rather than meaning he already is one...Hope that clears it up for you.

Ok.

The way your post was phrased would lead most reasonable people to believe that you were implying Linc was a quality forward.

As always, it's easy to misinterpret.

 

[David the Cat]

Well I hope he comes back fit and strong....perhaps I haven't seen enough of him, but I am a little underwhelmed at what I have seen so far. We are not overrun by small forwards stepping up, so if he can do the job, all well and good.

Before waxing lyrical, I need to see a bit more from him.

 

[CharacterFirst]

Linc's continued progress is better than bad news, that's for sure.

The more guys we have on the park the better off we are.

But Linc has some work to do before we crown him the next Cyril.

 

[betchsta]

Linc is looking good, Hopefully it will transpire into something promising after the club has shown a lot of faith in him during his time on the sidelines with injuries.

One thing I know from what I've seen of Linc is he has natural small forward mongrel and positioning. I think he can contribute a lot of forward pressure we've been hopelessly lacking.

 

[David the Cat]

bit hard when you are in Switzerland and unable to attend VFL matches.

Exactly...so I have seen little of him....only in the AFL games he's played.....so not denigrating the guy...just need to see more of him before jumping on the Linc bandwagon.

His NAB performances might enlighten me.

when I have seen him in the 2's he is a real livewire

At that level at least he is the type of player that makes things happen
