News Scharenberg Update

[Number 10]

Hi all - I have been told that Matt Scharenberg was running last week and will begin training tomorrow and is ahead of schedule according to his surgeon. Will be back playing VFL in 6 - 7 weeks.

Good news finally on the injury front.

Other injury news: Karnezis and Seedsman back next week. Freeman 3 weeks away but should play multiple games this year. Reid minimum 3 weeks.

Reid minimum of three weeks? Hopefully they are just trying to build fitness back into him

 

[BEEG]

Thats a long time with a hamstring for Freeman

Great news about Sharon. I can't wait to see him out there. If I still lived in Melbourne I'd be keeping my calendar clear for his VFL games.

Will be a gun.

They are hopeful for three but being extremely cautious.

Thats a long time with a hamstring for Freeman

It was a tendon injury. Not the muscle itself. Which is good and bad news. The other good news is he doesn't have a history of hammies and he had never done one before. So this is hopefully a one off.

Reid minimum 3 weeks away.. wow

 

[Dynamics]

It is a fair bit of time off.

I'm happy for them to be cautious though, if that's what it comes down to. He's a speedster and will need those hammmies in good nick for a long, long time.

Finally some good news with one of our precisely picked recruits, perhaps we can start to make some headway now as we have been picking for height speed and footskills only to have them go down with injuries / long term illnesses from day one

Reid minimum 3 weeks away.. wow

Reid reminds me of Rowdy Brown in that he's a naturally skinny kid who has had to significantly bulk up, and plays in a position of high physical impact. All of that combined can wear a body out pretty quickly. I hope I'm wrong though, especially with the ink drying on his new deal. Can't wait to see him back, he's vital to the team.

Excellent.

I'll be sure to bookmark June 7th against Casey for his return/debut.

Is this information legit Mini_Skips87 ?

 

[RuFiO]

What's the catch?

 

[Copeland]

Similar to Grimes of Richmond. I see your point and I agree. He had a similar frame to Fletcher and his body just hasn't coped with the added weight and muscle gain.. Whereas a guy like Cloke has always been strongly built. It's a damn shame because he could be better than Cloke.

 

[Collingwoodity]

I haven't seen Scharenberg play. Is he that good?

Easily top 3 draft pick on talent, and would of gone there if not for his foot problems.

If he doesn't play AFL straight up!

 

[MagpieBat]

Mark Williams once described him as "the best schoolboy footballer (he) had seen since Wayne Carey."

But, yeah, he's very good.

 

[MagpieBat]

We play Melbourne that weekend.

Almost like a VFL game...

No Reid until after the bye. We really need to be no worse than 3-4 if we are any chance to make the 8.

I can sympathise too, as I was 195cm and 80kg at 18. Ended up at 105kg and it definitely took a toll on me. Back down to 86kg now and my body loves me for it.

We have Carlton, Richmond and North. We will beat all of them
