Injury Wilson out 12 weeks, Lycett out 6-8 weeks

[Miguel Sanchez]

Reported by SNF on twitter. Will include an official link when possible.

Lycett hurt a knee late in the Peel game, the Blayne Train went off with a broken ankle early on.

Oh good, now our reserve players are starting to get injured.

 

[Prem87]

Shame about Wilson, did he reinjure the ankle he had surgery on in the offseason?

 

[mattyc75]

bugger,looks like mcinnes could get a game earlier than expected iff needed

 

[new breed]

Lycett had knee surgery last year also

I think we need to rookie a Ruckman , Wes Lammie ( SD biased ) I think as backup .

 

[Quinz]

We just love the long term injuries.

 

[September_Glory]

What kinda knee injury for Lycett?

 

[bodazoka]

Wernt going to make the league team for long stretches this year obviously but a shame that it puts there development back half a year. Both kids look like they could be pretty handy players in the future.

They have a few years on the list yet.

 

[Chris who]

Need to rookie Paul Johnson as insurance!

 

[ausbacker]

That's unfortunate. Best of luck to the young men in their recovery.

 

[sTeeL]

West Coast website confirms the injuries but lists no timeline on their return.

u mad...

Shame for Wilson, this will end his season and he really needs to be building match fitness.

 

[Reminiscence]

Really unfortunate, Wilson looked to be improving every week in the WAFL and developing into a nice depth player.

Lycett being injured? As his sponsor, end of the world.

 

[Natho]

Terrible news for the young fellas. Hope they are back ASAP

 

[larrikin]

I wonder if the club will persist with Blayne after this year - I presume he's out of contract

 

[FLETCH41]

Terrible news for the boys and the club! I know it been said before but geez our depth players are going down now!! Our injury list is getting ridiculous !!!

It's still only around 7 players long the injury list, so not too bad. It's the top 4 that are the concern.

It's the 4 suspensions that have hurt, so hopefully we get through this week without losing someone else, although maybe we could satisfy the AFL by sending McGinnity to snot Judd, get it over and done with and there's our suspension taken care of?

 

[kerrazy]

Our problem has also been that some of our players have also had 1-2 week injuries. Posities are that we have still won with them out!

Really sucks for Lycett he was finding some form was a ruck/forward for Peel.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Agreed - our injury list now is pretty good compared to say Collingwood.

I'm not sure I worry too much about Wilson or Lycett affecting our 2012 campaign. If one of our rucks go down then Lynch would move to the back up position which I think adds more than Lycett anyway.

Wilson was never getting a game this year regardless.

We just love the long term injuries.

We must love them, we have so damned MANY of them !

Yeah that stinks about Lycett. He kicked 4 against East Perth a few weeks ago and had 3 on the board before his injury on the weekend. It seemed he was starting to get the hang of playing forward, at least at WAFL level. I've still got high hopes for him. I wouldn't be panicked into looking specifically for a ruckman in 2013.

Wilson just seems like a poor man's Brett Jones. Always a shame about injuries but I don't think he has much of a future.
