According to the west Strijk has suffered a quad strain and will miss up to 3 weeks. Not good news for our forwardline.

I doubt Strijk would of been getting a call up anyway.

 

[kane249]

Strijk played for West Perth last w/end and whilst acceptable certainly didnt dominate.

Actually he must be frustrating for WC given he has all the tools to be a very good player, but he is missing that certain ingredient you need to succeed which is generally found between the ears.

Ear wax!

Is McInnes injured? 2 touches in round 1 for the Dees then a DNP.

 

[Public Enemy No1]

Report in the Sunday Times that Josh Kennedy has completely snapped the tissue in his foot that was causing him pain. Apparently this is good news as now he is pain free.

Good chance for Rnd 1 now as he has improved his training capacity.

 

[Prem87]

Awesome.

Sounds painful..but whatever works..

 

[Piss Poor]

Weird injury, now his back on track because he snap the tissue. Great news, confident now against bulldogs

There's been a lot written on when Robert Harvey did the same thing to the same tendon.

 

[pantskyle]

Yeah was about to mention Harvey, he fixed it by jumping of a chair barefooted.

It's a useless tendon/tissue that once snapped completely won't heal or have any negative effects.

**** yeah Josh!

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Good news, not sure we can win next weekend without JK

 

[Piss Poor]

Collingwood,s Andrew krakour reckon,s after his knee reconstruction he could be back late in the year and possible on the training track by july, if that's the case for him then is lecras any possibility or returning late in the year, isn't it the exact same injury and surgery.

 

[new breed]

Krakouer's injury was not as bad evidently , and the Surgeons were able to do a less invasive operation ,... still a reconstruction plus Lecras had some medial damage also .

 

[mad_eagle]

Never thought I'd be celebrating the fact that one of our players snapped something! Good news

 

[kane249]

I thought Krakouer went for the LARS option as well as opposed to the traditional surgery?

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Nope - stated that he and his management decided against it on Marngrook the other night.

From memory libba was back from a reco after something ridiculous like 16 weeks

 

[sTeeL]

He wanted to but wasnt a viable candidate

 

[Triptanes]

A goal?
