Hanners

+ Coffield out for the year.

There were rumours around Marshall, but according to AF he was BOG so no worries there thus far.

Not ideal by any means, and hopefully some of them have swift returns, but good teams find a way regardless.

 

[puppy_dog7]

Don’t start this again sammm please…

 

[Diehard Saint]

F*ck, I’m flat
Clark just can’t take a trick.

Is Geary injured?

 

[puppy_dog7]

Is Geary injured?

Still recovering from his shoulder reco last year.
Pretty sure he’s only a few weeks away.

 

[Geary Is GOAT]

6 weeks for Clark

 

[BrutThough]

What happened with Highmore?

 

[Diehard Saint]

What happened with Highmore?

Possible quad injury, I read somewhere. No idea how severe.

Thats 4 players down over the past 2 days.

Getting that 2021 feeling right now. Keep Max off the golf course!!

 

[Minga]

6 weeks for Clark

Not great, but I’m glad it’s not any worse.

4 weeks after the actual season starts, give or take.

I wonder if, as a club, we will have greater mental resilience in the face of injuries after last year?

Just a thought, as I’m hoping history doesn’t keep repeating itself.

a couple of injuries today out of the Essendon Practice match and Sandringham practice match

Hunter Clark - shoulder?
Jack Billings - Hamstring
Highmore

Why are you doing this?????

 

[UnfinishedBusiness]

Why are you doing this?????

I actually appreciate the thread, depressing as the news is, I’m not quite able to convince myself samm listing the injuries will cause more injuries

[sammm]

Don’t start this again sammm please…

Please don't blame me. Lol
Only because there were a number of injuries first. Now we need to see whats going on anyway its now less than 3 weeks to go till 1st round.

In some positive news if Hunter Clark is out for 6 weeks. It might mean he is only away for the first month of football. Better then a season.

 

[Mowman]

Radio saying Clark to have surgery

 

[lewdogs]

Radio saying Clark to have surgery

Does that mean a longer layoff?

 

[botts]

Radio saying Clark to have surgery

What was the surgery. Hopefully not a full reco

 

[Mowman]

Does that mean a longer layoff?

7.00 o’clock news driving to golf just said Hunter Clark to have surgery and to miss a minimum of 6 weeks

 

[PoppedCorn]

Ffs

Nahh
Not cursed at all lol

Hopefully somone gets some gossip about highmore

 

[Jade Buddha]

Highmore is interesting. I think his intercept marking was sorely missed last night. Would love him in for round 1.

 

[bird_man]

6 weeks for Clark

Not a bad result if it doesn't require surgery.

Could see him back in as little as a month, but even 6 weeks is better than many feared.

 

[lewdogs]

If Clark misses 6 weeks then I'm reasonably happy. It looked like a terrible injury at the time.

 

[bird_man]

Highmore is interesting. I think his intercept marking was sorely missed last night. Would love him in for round 1.

I'd have him in that 22, but it means things will have to shuffled around as both Paton and Webster deserve their spot.

Could we try Paton on a wing?

Hill is the obvious choice to move there but he was very impressive last night and looks to have inproved his defensive game.
