S Selwood- back, would be the most worrying to me out of all that, considering he had back surgery in the pre-season.
He is a very important player for us.

I'm surprised the Eagles disclosed that one.
I think it shows its not anything major.
A bit worrying that list. Woosh did not sound confident at all when asked about JK returning round 1. Lynchy more of a chance

I get the feeling its going to be one of those years. Im still not over Lecras.

TBH I am finding it hard to think we are going to match last years effort. LeCras out before the season even started has really taken the shine off things.
Prove me wrong West Coast!
Im just scared. So many niggles already and the massive loss with lecras. If Shuey goes down i will die. i think we can still definitely make top four especially if we don't really get too many more injuries but Last year i though our biggest competitive advantage was our forward line. Kennedy and Lecras are both AA material. With lecras gone it really does put a lot of pressure on Kennedy to become elite. Just feel like we are missing consistent match winners and maybe Darling, Gaff and co are still a year off from being that.
That would be great but i think Dick will just spend the whole year developing and getting his body right. Hill could be the one to provide us this, definitely has the talent.

Lets not be so negative people.
Lecras is a huge loss. Our other injury niggles are no worse than what every club deals with this time of year

Precisely. If we have anything to feel agrieved about it's that all our injuries have been to forwards, which raises another question.
I know im being a little baby but i can't help it. I miss him already. Maybe its because i just watched hill miss two sitters in a row from a spot where lecca would kick it 999 times out of a 1000 and kennedy's still a no show.

Worse then the club first thought
Won't know more until after surgery

Horrible news. Nicoski isn't going to be as easy to replace as most think. Hams and Weedon aren't as good defensively but hopefully they can add to our press the same way Nicoski did.

12 f***ing weeks!
I guess it cements Hill's spot. Time to step up.

Man this sucks. Thats our second and third leading goal scorers last year gone already. we have nearly 90 goals to fill.
Bad news re Nicoski if its 12 weeks as reported.
Also If Kennedy's foot keeps him out for long our forward line is looking average with our top three goal kickers out. Scary really and where will the goals come from.

If this season looks like a dud we shouldn't be unhappy with just making the finals. Rotate our players and keep the essential player fit and ready for 2013.
Dont underestimate the long term importance of getting game time into Weedon, Newman, Hams, Hill, Strijk. The issue isn't the number of forwards we have, just the lack of experience.

I think Dick will be a certainty to get elevated now. With not Lecca and Nico gone we need a bit of experience down there.
Would think Hammy will get the Forward pocket job and Hill will probably get first crack at HF Flank but I think if Kennedy doesn't come good then Darling will be our Starting CHF and Dick to the other HF Flank.
In other words it will look like this:
HF: Hill, Darling, Dick
FF: Naita, Lynch, Hams
If Hill doesn't perform then either Weedon or Strijk will come in.
Just My Opinion.

Thought the Nicoski one looked bad when he did it, grabbed high on his hammy similar to when Kerr did his. Even if he does make it back this season you can expect him to lose a fair bit of depth from his kicking 
Weedon
He,s gonna be bloody busy then. 40 to 50 goals is needed from two of hill, Weedon, Hams and Strijk. If not some rotating mids and darling need to up the ante.

Bad news. Would of liked our foward line of last season improve further with another season under their belts.
Will allow Hill Weedon Hams and Strijk to further develop.
JK becomes very important now
