I always tell myself it can't be luck. It's been 15 years of this rubbish and you would struggle to find even one club that has had a worse run with injuries in that period. But then what else is it? We got rid of injury prone players. We changed the turf on our training ground. We got new a new fitness and conditioning team. We've gone through more coaching changes than anyone. And yet here we are again. Same thing every year.

Some sort of curse!!!

Maybe we need to employ some sort of witch doctor or exorcist!!!

It could be the difference between finishing 14-16th and 6th -10th. As most of us believe, Weitering is the one player we can least afford to lose to injury!!!

 

[Benaly28]

The next 2-3 weeks gives the backline time to work out how we defend without him.Absolutely not enough time but better than if it happened in season.

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

We blaming Weiters now? Really?

It was more than putting himself in harms way. He was never going to get anywhere near the drop of the ball.

If he was trying to spoil Charlie in opening round, then maybe yes, understandable. But, not in an exhibition match.

 

[Bennyboy7777]

So is this our injury list at the moment? If so it’s doubled in only a matter of a few weeks .


Motlop

Acres

Weitering

Newman

Newman and Acres back in full training

Aren’t they on modified duties? Acres can’t do any contact stuff? Acres wearing cap or vest in match sim to indicate this?

Acres had the green cap on yesterday. Not an issue for Newman

Weiters went into the contest late with jelly legs, not sure what he was thinking there.

Prime Weitering would have killed the ball earlier, or braced to hold his ground. He did neither, and looked more like Young out there.

Is there a comprehensive injury list provided by the club yet?

Guessing now it looks like:

Weitering - ?
Cottrell - Knee
Haynes - Ankle
Carroll - Hamstring
Cowan - Calf
Acres - Shoulder
Newman - rehab still
Motlop - ACL
HOF -ACL

Without a pre-season game having been played. This is looking disastrous again.

Acres, Newman and Cowan would be fine for round zero you'd think.

Carroll would be touch and go, with Haynes likely round 3.

Everyone else expected to be in the frame for selection is cherry ripe, even Kemp.

Just off the top of my head: West Coast and Essendon in the last two years respectively, so there's 2.

If it’s a shoulder reco, his season is done.

Even if it was - and no one is suggesting that - it would be 6 months maximum, so no.

Its been 2mrw for nearly 9 hours. Where's our update!

Back in time for finals Jim

 

[teknodeejay]

Reckon it’s going to be a collarbone break but let’s see

 

[bradfisher14]

Weirdly I’m quietly optimistic about this one.

He certainly looked like he had no balance or control of his body. Just a strange attack towards a contest.

 

[The Bighouse]

The season starts too early should revert back to third week in March, the Afl are obsessed with the commercial aspect, so many players injured in pre season as they are rushing the preparation due to the early start.

There’s always been early pre-season games..

That was extremely clumsy by Weiters (also had a timing issue in the goal square coughing up an easy goal), by a very experienced player in his 11th pre-season.

The issue is more the lessened time players are at pre-season now with the CBA / breaks required.

Do away with pre-season warm ups (happy for SoO to continue) hit the ground running with OR (with every team playing so back to R1) and throw an extra H&A game into the season.

 

[Gokz]

Gonna say heavy bruising

Few cracked ribs

Miss 2-3 weeks

 

[GT619]

Always us

 

[SOS Rules]

Lewis Young will step up. Has had a great Pre Season.

Yeah, he should be able to. Has displayed at various points that he has it. Needs to keep it simple by either spoiling or marking and if he wins possession should quickly give it to a good ball user. Looks like Harry Dean and Gov assume some critical support roles too. Derksen must be odds on to be added to the list now and would also provide some height down back. Weiters looks like he will be out for a period of time. Hopefully he's back sooner rather than later. Crossing fingers.

West Coast and * in individual years maybe but not overall

 

[bradfisher14]

Always us

4 players from other clubs got injured in that game.

 

[Chookaradley]

Does Brodie go back???

 

[marcmurphy3]

Im not sure its the same. Reckon most will be precautionary. Just being super careful.

Weiters did look a bit off in his first few contests. Timing wasnt there. I doubt he approaches that contest like that if its round 10.

Agree we don’t know what it is but IF a full shoulder reco, best case is 6 months. As it’s now mid Feb and a reason runs for 6 months, it is almost certainly season ending. We are not playing finals, no point risking him.
Hey, i hope it’s something relatively simple like a collarbone or some cracked ribs.
Not trying to be alarmist just getting my head around possible impact.
Fingers crossed, yeah?

Ah Chee and Taylor both had ice on their hamstrings. Might be more than just being careful
