Injury 2012 Injury Reports

[DeadlyAkkuret]

He should be fit for our round 1 game against Fremantle.

Is anybody able to listen to the complete injury update on the Swans site? Mine freezes up right after matt cameron talks about Alex Brown running again.

 

[grimlock]

I don't even see a link to that video

 

[Bobbykirkkelly]

Looks like a technical glitch because they have pulled it off. I was just thinking how much better shape the Swans are in this year compared to this time last year. At this stage we had Bolton & Bradshaw on the long term injury list and neither finished up playing. To have 2 extra players even if they are young has got to be a bonus for us this year.

 

[Bobbykirkkelly]

Injury report now up on Swans site without video. Rohan will train Thursday and may play this Saturday. O'Keefe & Spanger coming along but not running yet. Brown Mitchell & Kruger all running and Mitchell & Kruger ready to play soon, brown a loittle bit behind but coming along ok. No mention of Armstrong so I presume he is training and will play soon. So much better report than this time last year.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

I'm just glad it wasn't the break reported on the matchday chat.

Still not ideal preparation for Rohan tho

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Starting the season with GWS then the [strike]other[/strike] bye really has been more beneficial than I imagined.

The awkward moment when GWS smash us.

I'd dip my testicals in pink paint if GWS managed to beat us.

if anyone thinks gws has a chance of getting within 50 points they dont know football... there best forward is folau, lmfao!! there team has about 15 or more first gamers... come on.

Not having a go at you guys, but if I was a coach and I heard any players talking like that whilst say.. running warm up laps at training.... I would flog them into the ground until they spewed.

the players should have one thing on there mind, PERCENTAGE.. and if we don't gain as much as possible, then flog the **** outta them on our week off i say..

i don't for a second think they would be taking this lightly, percentage could mean the difference between 4th and 5th maybe...

but seriously look at the gws team... i rate ward, maybe davis and thats about it.. cornes, palmer and folau wouldnt make our best 22 imo

 

[bedford]

Palmer would at his best

I hear you, but I read similar stuff before Richmond and Melbourne games in recent times and see how that worked out for us.

 

[reidfactor]

Palmer would at his best

i'd play hannerbury, parker, rohan, bird and atm jetta b4 him... maybe palmer as a sub, but he's not really that fast after his knee and ankle injuries...

he was definately a good player a few years ago...

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Finally, some news on Rohan. Appears he'll miss the GWS game but would be looking at coming back for the Freo game. Unless it's worse than expected. As long is it's not a break I'm happy.

It drives me crazy when coaches like Horse claim to know so little about players' injuries. It's either irresponsibility or bullshit. If you and I take more interest in Rohan's injury than the coach, we should find someone else to manage the team. Treat the fans with more respect, please.

 

[bedford]

They have been doing it for years, its a joke the way supporters are treated.
What we need is someone who can attend training and see for themselves.

 

[AG]

How can the news only be conveyed to Swans though? It's either everyone or nobody. Clubs will normally keep an air of secrecy surrounding injuries, unless it's long termish.

 

[grimlock]

Nothing on Jordan Lockyer? Is he going to be 2012's version of Ben Haren?

I would say their situations are quite different.... Lockyer signed a two year contact in the draft... Haren would of only signed a one year rookie contract...

 

[grimlock]

Wasn't really referring to that, more so unexplained absences from the side

 

[TheGong]

From Swans site.

As at 20/03/2012

Alex Brown Hips 8 weeks
Matt Spangher Hamstring 4 weeks
Eugene Kruger Knee 4 weeks
Tom Mitchell Knee 3 weeks
Tony Armstrong Knee / Quad 1 week
Jordan Lockyer Knee 1 week
Ryan O'Keefe Knee Test
Gary Rohan Ankle Test

 

[J_Moore]

Jesus, Spangher's really done a number on his hamstring. I reckon this is going to be an ongoing problem.

if anyone thinks i wa serious they don't know sarcasm...
