Add him to the scrapheap along with Francis and Ridley, all too fragile for the rigours of AFL unfortunately.
Yep just totally give up on injured players. No one ever overcame multiple injuries early in their career to go on and become a champion...

Sounds like Lav has managed to do a rare injury to his ankle - strained retinaculum. It's fascia that holds the tendons and tibial nerve and I'd imagine that inflammation would cause him ongoing grief if not well managed. Apparently they are seeking further expert advice.

The strategic "we're speaking to a specialist tonight" bit suggests the old, let's film this beforehand so we don't have to deliver more annoying/bad/Oh dear god why is the world against us news for another week.

Balls.. bloody wish Carlton didn't take Boekhurst.

We seem to be getting a lot of unlucky injuries. Never good when you get a few in preseason either, because it always rolls on into the season.
