Late to this.

Ben McKay - Pneumonia.

Are you ******* kidding me?!!

 

[The Nostradamus]

So Marley and McKay back next Sunday?

 

[Heaps of fun]

McKenzie went from 1-2 weeks to TBC, you hate to see it.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

It’s actually a huge injury list. I don’t think we are making enough about this.

 

[Passmore]

At least our injuries reflect the club's diversity strategy. We've got a finger, ankle, calf, knee, head, neck, pelvis, hips, back, and a bout of pneumonia on top of it. Bit of everything there.

On every level it's the most ****ed season I can recall.

We're now at over eight months for Walker's 'minor PCL'.

Kangatech?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Kangatech?

Just cut it off.

And give him blade.

We're now at over eight months for Walker's 'minor PCL'.

Every knee recovery is really, really different. I believe he had something break also.

 

[Themanbun]

Doc Larkins re: PCL

“There’s two reasons for that. One is the PCL is far more complicated in the operation, prone to infections and all sorts of setbacks.

“The second is 95 percent of the time, they think rest can fix it.

“AFL clubs traditionally haven’t given their players enough rest.

“The only course of action now is, if it doesn’t heal with rest, is surgery.”

Soft. Lot of 'em need to harden up. Jesus, North's first Brownlow Medallist played with a fractured skull.

Ah......the 60's and Shinboner Spirit.

Bad luck for Wilko, 9-11 weeks is practically season over stuff, and never got a chance to show his wares really.

It is bad luck, but in a sense, it's probably a blessing for him to not be associated with this train-wreck of a season. New start in 2020 (in more ways than one, I hope).

If he gets another year. It's terrible luck for a rookie with a one year contract.

Or alternatively under this regime he gets delisted

Should get another offer from us imo. Was showing good signs in the VFL, has a bit of smooth mover about him, likes a tackle and can goal from the arc on the gallop. Definitely worth another chance. Nice guy too

Agree, surely a re-rookie offer is not unreasonable.

We have recent history of cutting blokes after only 12 months.

Narrier, Hartung, Morgan and Taylor 4 examples off the top of my head

They were ****en proper HARD back then.

What the F is going on with Jacobs?????

 

[Themanbun]

What the F is going on with Jacobs?????

He has a complex (seemingly) neurological issue that is taking a long time to diagnose.

 

[Tas]

What the F is going on with Jacobs?????

I have doubts he will play again, given that doctors have nfi what is going on, even if he could get back to a position where he could play, you would have to seriously question the judgement of going back out there as it was caused by innocuous contact and there would be grave risks for life after football.

If it was something doctors could easily define and treat then you could weight up the risks, but he would be flying blind. I hope the club puts his well being ahead of our personal desires to see him play for us again.

I rewatched his interview on the club website a few weeks back. I don’t think they actually know exactly what his issue is.
