What part of very in capital letters don't you understand?

 

[Dwight Schrute]

Well, saying VERY soon could mean a few things...
1 week? 2?

Will be 4 weeks since the Sydney game(first he missed) this Saturday, so might be a chance to get up for Port, they'll probably wait till the week after though.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

This week's injury list says 2-3, so VERY implies some sort of inside goss.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Should be back VERY soon now.

Another week or two?

Cake's created a monster

I guess I need to add more smileys to convey the tone of my posts more clearly.

I thought the injury was nearing on 6 weeks similar to goodes's one. Mind you 4 weeks has flown by amazing how quick time goes when your winning. I was expecting him back for maybe Geelong

 

[Mercurial89]

Hird confirmed he will miss another 4-5 weeks. Says they are being really cautious.

A 12 week quad strain? Jesus did he get shot or something?

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Yeah, not good. A pretty vital cog is going to miss a pretty vital part of the run home.

 

[Mercurial89]

He mentioned a tear of the actual tendon or something. So it seems it was pretty serious. I though they might keep him out maybe similar to goodes maybe a bit longer if we were being really cautious but it seems it was a worse injury.

I only heard a grab of the inteview so I don't have lots of details.

 

[Childish Gambino]

Not good news at all.

However, I think Howlett has really stepped up in Zaka's absence the past couple of weeks.

 

[BrunoV]

Hird confirmed he will miss another 4-5 weeks. Says they are being really cautious.

WTF?

 

[George Washington]

WTF?

If he has torn the quadriceps tendon, as opposed to just a normal strain of the muscle then that is extremely serious. I probably wouldn't expect him to be back at 100% this year.

We need some sort of equation for figuring out how much longer a player will be out for rather than going by the initial assessment.

 

[Super Gusto]

Terrible news. Let's hope they are being very cautious and he can get back into form quickly after coming back.

We need some sort of equation for figuring out how much longer a player will be out for rather than going by the initial assessment.

It's usually 2.6 times the amount.

Hibberd: 3 weeks (hammy) x 2.6 = 7.8 weeks
Zaka: 4 weeks (quad) x 2.6 = 10.4

 

[Lance Uppercut]

It's usually 2.6 times the amount.

Hibberd: 3 weeks (hammy) x 2.6 = 7.8 weeks
Zaka: 4 weeks (quad) x 2.6 = 10.4

I like it

The f*ck? Well that is some shitty news.

 

[Mercurial89]

Dempsey: Wont miss anymore than 1, not a strain (hamstring) X 2.6 = 2.6 weeks

 

[Doss]

4 weeks from now= Adelaide game

5 weeks= North game.

I was really looking forward to having him back for Geelong and Hawthorn, damn.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

that's a blow especially as it looks like he'll miss 3 wk period against Cats, Hawks and Crows

 

[Mercurial89]

Yeah, interview with hird is on the you tube now, he looked pretty resigned to not having zakka back until the last few games of the season (4 or so was the number he mentioned). Said he didn't really have a setback, no re tear of the tendon, just a really serious injury they have to be careful with.

 

[Aussie Assault]

**** a duck. Terrible news.
