"Dawes has twanged his calf injury" Gerard Healy

Something a personal trainer and mad footy fanatic said to me yesterday calmed me down about all these injuries.

He told me getting them now is fine as all the real pre-season stuff is already done.

As long as they're back by Round 1 or within a few rounds of the start, it won't affect their seasons, which is great news if true. Makes sense.

is there an injury thread?

A "new" old face that would most likely have been there this week — Marty Clarke — will not be among those lining up because he suffered a minor soft tissue leg injury in training as did small forward Jamie Elliott.

At this stage the Dawes injury is just a rumour.

Having said that, clubs are very cautious with players at this time of the year. Injuries can be very minor and the player will miss just to be sure wheras in the season, they may play and be nursed through.

Well Elliot ran the Tan on Saturday so we canstrike him off our list - he would not have done it if he had a bad hammy. Furthermore, Dawes also did and unless we had training today (did we, i actually don't know?) I don't know where this is coming from...

This post makes some really pertinent points how is is that we seem to be the only club that has players with twinges and strains,all the clubs do but they don,t get reported with such joy and alacrity.

What we need is the football to get started,this last week or 10 days has been just horrible for the club rumour and inuendo about anything and everything at the Pies has made it seem like the sky is falling in and nearly all of it is media driven.

We must take everything the media reports about Collingwood with a pinch of salt,as a whole the club has been very successful these past past few years and we saw how much rumour and destabilization there was last season and it will be the same again this year.

Ps Just want to wish Andrew K all the best and hope everything works out for him whatever that may be goodluck mate.

Pps the only good thing about the last week or so is that they have not been speculating about whether Cloke or Pendlebury is leaving,they are saving that for next week if it is a slow news week but as sure as s--- it will be on the agenda again.

Better to be injured after 95% of preseason than 5%, or even worse during Finals I guess
 
Any other injuries?? List of rumoured injuries:

Johnson - confirmed 3/4 weeks
Didak - confirmed 4 weeks
Elliott - a few weeks (has this been confirmed by the club?)
Clarke - rumoured. Possibly a few weeks
Dawes - rumoured. Possibly a few weeks

Krak - not injured by confirmed 4 weeks
 
Might head down there myself, would be a chance for a spot on he bench for NAB Cup perhaps the way things are going!!

Elliott wasn't confirmed as was running the very next day around the tan. If anything he'll miss this week only.

Maybe its the training methods, maybe Buckley is working them to hard. We know Buckley was a nut when it came to training and being fit and then towards the end of his career he couldnt play more than 4 games without tearing his hamstring. Now we have 2 players with hamstring injuries and Didak with whatever he did as well as Dawes with his calf. Maybe its just a coincidence, I am sure David Butters has a say as well in what goes regarding training, so it might not be anything to worry about.

It would seem that way and guess which club is in the firing line again,bring on the football ffs it is getting beyond a joke have any other clubs had players who have tweaked or strain injuries this past 1 to 2 weeks and have they been as closely scrutinised as our,s,no I don.t think so it seems like they can make up things as they go along.

I just think there's no need to panic.

The only player who has had a problem in the last few weeks that will miss a significant period of time is Krakouer.

Dawes, Elliott, Johnson and Didak are all likely to be back by about round 3 of the NAB Cup.

Of course that's assuming Dawes only has a calf strain.

Yes! Ffs, can the 'sky is falling in' group please get a grip? None of these injuries is serious, all should be back soon without losing much in the way of fitness and we'll hardly be sending out dud squads for the pre-season games with the likes of Swan, Pendles, Daisy, Ball, Cloke etc. all (presumably) ready to play. As some have noted, this sure beats broken hands, suspensions and a whole heap of other injuries at the business end of the season - and we were still massively competitive!

Before the wailing and sobbing and gnashing of teeth and general boohooish behaviour... let's actually wait for official news, eh?
