Injury The OFFICIAL Injury Updates thread - 2 weeks

[Twinkletoes]

Taken today…..

Now that's an AFL rig. Imagine McKenzie and Garner built like Spitta. We'd almost look like West Coke!

I think this injury shows how some (including me at times) have taken Swallow's game and consistency for granted the past 4-years.

Has the guy played a bad game since 2009?

Really hope Delaney doesn't become another could've been ...

So do I, LC. It seems headed that way though.

Crocks was injury-prone but he was worth persisting with because he was an excellent player.

Thought I seen Cam Delaney on the other side of the oval today at Arden Street...

I asked Saunders if Delaney was ready to go and his response was: "not Yeti"

A perfect quote for BigFoot-y Bretty.

Twitter says Harper (Kieran this time) played his comeback game from injury today with Werribee seconds, and kicked a goal in their loss.

[chubbspeterson]

Any update on JMac? Brad said he went to hospital for scans, hope its not serious

 

[Heaps of fun]

Twinkletoes could we turn this into an official injury update thread?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

good idea. heard harper ended up on crutches after his half in the werribee game. knock to the knee?

tarrant might play a half in the twos this week from what ive heard.

swallow a week away from playing a bit of gametime in the VFL.

So Daw isn't injured?

Where is he at? Lacks match fitness?

PCL reco. Lacks match fitness. Still developing game.

If the masses want an OFFICIAL injury updates thread stickied, we can do that, but we'll have to cut loose the Roo-sistence thread to do so.

I was just thinking a prefix and title change, will get bumped enough without a sticky.

Done!

Has the guy played a bad game since 2009?

Yes, but very infrequently, he is a super consistent player and stands out like dog balls compared to the rest of the team.

Thompson and Cunnington are probably the other two that have lower variance from their good to bad games.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Done!

You're a gem.

 

[Handsome.B.Wonderful]

Not great news on McMillan.

 

[Blanket_melb]

Damnit 6 weeks. Think we will replace him with a mature key defender ( Firrito, Machmahon) or Hines/Tippet? Or simply disregard, ziebs in and jmac out

That video seems like a direct response to the OP...

 

[Black2Blue]

Good to hear that Tarrant and Cam Delaney will be playing footy again soon.

Sadly, Tommy Curran doesn't even rate a mention, seemingly now living in that LTI world of oblivion.

That one year extension seemed philanthropic at the time. Not looking great for the big guy.

You just feel sorry for the player when they get robbed of a footy career by injury. It's obviously not game over for Tom but he can't afford another setback in his recovery. Fingers crossed.

Every key forward we've tried to develop in the Scott era has had to battle through a fair amount of injury. Black has been a good news story but I reckon we're due in for another.

Annoyed about MacMillan injury. He was looking good so far this year.
