Injury The OFFICIAL Injury Updates thread - 2 weeks

F**k me.

That was in November

 

[Hojuman]

That was in November

And no update by March 3rd ?

 

[Val Keating]

This is nmfc we are talking about. When in the last few years was there an honest list?

This is a real bugbear of mine, but the AFL has to follow the NFL and force complete transparency around injury. It’s backwards.
It’s so frustrating.

 

[La Flama Blanca]

And no update by March 3rd ?

Hopefully no news is good news there.

 

[shintemaster]

We're on tentative ground now. I think - on paper - a tougher run home like last year. We need to hit the start of the season in reasonable form and hope to bring a handful back in by the 3/4 mark to make an impact this year.

 

[Passmore]

Hopefully. But have you ever know "no news to be good news" when it comes to NMFC?

So the updated injury list would be something along the lines of:

Turner (foot) - 12 to 16 weeks
Polec (foot) - 2 weeks
Ziebell (calf) - ?
Brown (calf) - ?
Davies-Uniake (groin) - ?
Jacobs (sinus/concussion) - ?
EVW (knee) - ?
Perez (knee) - 10 weeks
Bonar (Hamstring) - ?
Cunnington (Hip) - ?
Hayden (Achilles) - 10 weeks
W.Walker (Knee) - available
Tarrant (foot) - available
McGuinness (back) - available
Hall (back spasm) - available

 

[King Corey]

So at this stage we might be able to have about 5-6 blokes unavailable until midseason but none anywhere near the LTI?

And there we have it:

Turner (foot) - 12 to 16 weeks
Davies-Uniake (groin) - ?
Jacobs (sinus/concussion) - ?
EVW (knee) - ?
Perez (knee) - 10 weeks
Hayden (Achilles) - 10 weeks

14% of the list unavailable for the first chunk of the season but somehow no spare list spots. Voila.

Is already running and meant to be playing a half against Sydney I thought

 

[spurs]

Bonar (Hamstring) - ?

I read today that his scan came back clear, so should be available.

 

[Clarke is King]

I was under the impression Will had started back in main training but is a little while off playing games. Would be stoked if he is available to play now (probably starting through the VFL)

That’s a lot of question marks. We should know what the diagnosis and time frame is

For anyone that doesn’t know what I’m on about, this is the NFL injury policy

[Val Keating]

And if clubs lie, they cop a substantial fine

You left out Big Footy NMFC board ( broken hearts ) indefinite.

That was what's reported.

Remove him, Polec who's playing Monday, Tarrant and Hall who played the Friday gone. There'd be zero chance Cunnington misses Rd1. Brown and Ziebell are likely to possible rd 1.

All of a sudden it's not so bad.

I did a double take at the word "lions" before realising the odds of Brisbane ever being fined are on par with Prince Andrew not being hit by an unfortunate collision with a beam during a manor house renovation.

back into full training. I don’t expect him to play till round 4 or 5 after a solid block of training.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Polec is available

only playing a half of footy this week, still a month away from full fitness I would’ve thought

If he gets through this week he's playing round 1.

Even if he doesn’t I would still play him

I reckon he is a good chance to play round 1. In fact, given his importance to the side if he gets through the half, and plays some minutes in a VFL praccy perhaps, he will play in round 1 for sure.
