Taken from this weeks injury update:

It's what they said a month ago, they're avoiding the term OP I'd guess.

Taken from this weeks injury update:

Disappointing. Definetely a player that would come in handy right about now.

It's what they said a month ago, they're avoiding the term OP I'd guess.

Don't see how it could be anything else at this point. His couple of weeks has been a couple of weeks for way longer than a couple of weeks.

He was an emergency during the JLT series and may have played in the VFL practice match in the week of JLT2, and then played VFL again the week of AFL Round 3 (VFL R1 I think?). He's been injured, and periodically noted as 'running' ever since. So possibly two VFL games, and only one was for points, all year.

If that's not OP, it's OP. Surely?

 

[yodellinhank]

If it was OP they'd have kept him out there to run it off. That's what you do isn't it?

 

[Bombers36]

A year long groin injury...sounds a bit suss to me....is there something else going on with Stewart?
He's almost a forgotten man but his stats still read well with an average of 11 possessions, 4 marks & 1.2 goals a game so he'd still have some currency if we were to trade him...
Hopefully though both he and Joe Daniher come back fit and firing in 2020 then suddenly we have 2 X 200cm forwards that can cause opposition teams big issues.

 

[Vindicater]

Something else has to be wrong with him.

Yeah I've heard of 5 or 6 weeks for a groin - but not a whole season.....!!

 

[TheGrizz]

OP?

If that is both Stewart AND Joe down with OP then that is alarm bells for the conditioning staff. Two KPFs down with the same chronic injury is a serious worry

I believe I have shared this sentiment before:

Sack Crow.

Ironic that they where born on the same day as well

VFL coverage against Port suggested OP

Couldn't agree more. I hope the club throws a microscope over this department, him specifically, come end of the year if they haven't already.

Stewart 200? Bigger than I thought!

198 but close enough really.

 

[Runk]

Rounded up.

 

[boncer34]

198 but close enough really.

Still bigger then I thought, I thought 192/193 for some reason

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Still bigger then I thought, I thought 192/193 for some reason

Understandable given he plays like he's 192/193 (in modern terms) - good at ground level, agile and not fantastic overhead.

 

[Don Won]

Ironic that they where born on the same day as well

And they have never been seen together in the same room.

 

[Nifft]

198 but close enough really.

I didn't know he was this tall either... such a shame he's injured, would've been good to have him and McKernan sharing ruck and forward duties.

No. Please no.

OP is a groin injury...

 

[rumply]

My bad, I'd actually forgotten about this dude.

shame. he speaks fondly of you frequently.

 

[Nifft]

No. Please no.

As a different option to playing Clarke that is, not if TBell was fit... unless you prefer Clarke?
