Injury Injuries 2022

[Ichabod Noodle]

So the real mystery is… Where is Kieran Briggs?

Wasn’t an emergency (Preuss & Keefe played VFL, MdB was the medi-sub and Peatling obviously the travelling emergency) but Briggs didn’t play in the VFL game either - and now not listed in the injury update at all. Usually in a situation like that he would be either a Test or mentioned as available for selection in the body of the article.

Anyone have any info on the big fella?

Heard he had a cork and is a possibility for this week.

4 of the starting 22 missing for R3.

5 if you include TFG.

0 and 2 with 20 per cent of the team missing.

Welcome to Groundhog Day.

One thing I find amazing in all the Leon press conferences I have seen over the last 4 years (both during the week and post game) I cannot recall any member of the press grilling him about the club's deplorable injury record and what is being done to improve this.

It's the most obvious question in the world yet no one either seems to think to ask about it or the club has some arrangement to have these questions be out of bounds.

Have a look at the Lions and Swans injury lists yet again with barely anyone on them. Staggering this aspect is not more heavily publicised/scrutinised.

RIP our medical team lol. After the 'cautious' rest, Hopper undergoing surgery now and out until around 2nd half of season.

Surgery for GIANTS Pair

This club makes me want to take up smoking again.

A complete disaster.

Let’s hope JH makes a full recovery.

Anyone else noticing the deafening silence?

Chair, CEO, Director of Football, Line Coaches?

Everyone has gone into hiding.

I’ve got a feeling the next time they all publicly reappear will be with Hird.

Or the announcement of private ownership.

Or the announcement of private ownership.

Yep, could even be an all-in-one announcement.

The club will run a process for a new coach.

The club will run a process for a new coach.

Just like the sale process, perhaps it’s already occurred and been agreed in principle?

Did I miss something that Giants are going to become privately owned? Also think a new coach would be the way to go not someone that flamed out somewhere else unless Clarko is avaliable of course.

 

[Orange crush]

And so it begins again .... the injuries, the loses we shouldn’t have, the media jumping on .... ffs, the boys need to lift

Just rumours at the moment

Any word on who the potential buyer may be?

A syndicate of 30 odd US-based investors

One of the main guys leading it is Marc Seidner - an Aussie who is based in the US and sits on the GWS board.

The group of investors are already funding the Giants today, not sure in what capacity and the scale of it but there's certainly more than just a fleeting interest.

Very intresting seems like a good start that he's already on the board, as long as he's willing to pay up and not get too involved in the football side of things wouldn't really have an issue with it.

I don’t really get it. They would be losing millions of dollars for years.

There's a whole separate thread on the Private Ownership rumours guys

I don't buy that.

Mummy is a living legend, but surely this is a bridge too far and a reckless gamble with his health.

The only scenario in which this possibly makes sense to me is if we have literally no Ruck available to play VFL and he plays as an emergency.

In 2022 our three listed Rucks must be able to cover all AFL fixtures.

Love the media team. One bright light to offset our A+ coach and medical team
