Injury 2017 - Injury List

[Nothing]

Fremantle isn't his home town and it was taken in Vic. He has been in Vic for the last week. Not sure if you're being

HB 2.0 put this up on instagram today. Hope he's not really home sick, as he's been back to Melbourne a couple times now

is from Little Creatures, as per

As much as I feel uncomfortably weird and stalker-ish discussing this kind of thing, I do love to procrastinate and avoid what I should be doing. So I can tell you with 100% confidence that that photo is taken at Creatures Next Door. You can even just make out the Kallis' Brothers sign on the sheds opposite and you can see the trees at the serviced apartments just next to the marine rescue headquarters. The roof next door is the creatures function centre that you can see from the outside part of the main section of creatures. I have spent enough time sinking piss and talking s**t on that balcony to be certain, even from back when it was Harbourside/Zanzibar.

Now I need to go have a cold shower and re-evaluate where my life has come to that i'm analysing Instagram photos posted by professional footballers instead of the study I was supposed to be doing.

The quip about Freo being his home town was with respect to where Balic plays now. I know he came from Mordialic

Quality "journalism" again by Crumpet. Top work.

Bad luck for Ballas.

Hard to follow re Balla's injury . He was out running and kicking this morning. Must be cotton wool stuff to get him ready for the finals.

"Ballantyne is understood to have pulled up well from his first playing appointment in 10 weeks..." Crumpet Face 9am WST 23.05.2017

"Ballantyne suffered a mild strain at the opposite end of repaired hamstring tendon and given the long recovery of his repaired hamstring he will miss 3 games..." Jason Weber 10:37am WST 23.05.2017

While it sucks for Ballas, it's a ******* brilliant example of old mate Crumpet face's tendency to prematurely pop out of his toaster with breaking "news".

 

[WeaselWJ]

No update on Zarke or APearce. It's a pretty short injury list though, which is great. Hopefully they take it easy for Harley, maybe bring him back through a block of WAFL games and get him qualified for WAFL finals to extend his season?

"It is understood": The most reassuring phrase in journalism?

 

[MadDocker]

Best is going to be around Thursday when he goes on 6PR breakfast and says something along the lines of "I've been saying for a while Ballas is weeks off". Did the same with Same Mitchell a when the slime were about to play the Hawks. "Mitchell is going to get up. That's why they have him doing the media gigs etc. Injury not as bad as first thought" etc etc. Later in the week "Injury is severe as I've been saying all along, definitely not going to play just like I said"

Biggest flog in the media by a mile.

Zaarke still plays for the Dockers?

Yeah, probably not unlike Hill's hammy timeline. guys that are around 3 weeks off a game are generally having a run at training, according to watchers and Webber's videos.

 

[MadDocker]

Correction. Zaarke still gets paid by the Dockers.

 

[WeaselWJ]

Zaarke still plays for the Dockers?

Haha, probably not for much longer.

 

[freo_leo29]

There was a bloke on here telling everyone that Ballas was injured and some people were shooting him down rather rudely, hopefully they man up and apologise, or at least aren't as quick to jump all over someone next time.

 

[TheMcManusNose]

Haha, probably not for much longer.

Unfortunately for him it may be not much longer on an AFL list. Knees must be totally cooked.

I think in the Peel thread someone mentioned that he pulled up and might have tweaked something? Didn't see any one decrying it in that thread.

Looking through the threads I can't seem to find the rude part, maybe my mind playing tricks, either way someone reported it and people basically ignored it but I was a bit hasty in my post

I think it was off the back of Fremantle coaching staff describing it as a cork during Monday's radio interviews.

Cheers mate that was me in the "changes" thread but no one was rude, dismissive but not rude.

ahh, yeah it was the changes thread, about 3 or 4 people seemed to jump in with "confirmed" news saying it was only a cork so dismissive and not rude seems right.

[yakka man]

Why do we deny things then admit it later?

 

[ydraw]

Bad luck for Ballas.

Is it bad luck though really? Or is it just the latest in a very long line of players reinjuring themselves after being brought back too early? Have zero confidence in our medical staff at this point.

They won't
