News 2014 AFL Fantasy Injury list

[The Jet]

Could not find a thread for this so might aswell start it with the news ...

Nathan van Berlo out 3 months! Achilles!

Anyone got any more just add them so we all know when we select our original lineup!

 

[Fitzey]

Tom Bellchambers injured at training. More to come

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Yeah, couple of weeks for T-Bell.

Will be in a moon-boot for at least a week and a half, then start gradually increasing his load again.

GEELONG'S Steven Motlop could face knee surgery to correct the patella tendonitis issue he carried throughout the 2013 season.

The 22-year-old emerged as one of the Cats' most exciting young players last season, averaging 18 disposals and nearly two goals a game.

The club has remained cautious on Motlop so far this summer, but his knee complaint hasn't eased.

The prospect of surgery is an unwanted setback, but football manager Neil Balme said if an operation was required, it wouldn't rule Motlop out of action for too long.

"The injury is something Steven has managed through the 2013 season and unfortunately it is still causing him some problems," Balme told the club's website.

"His workload has been managed so far but we aren't seeing the results from this we had hoped.

"We are unsure yet whether taking the surgical option is the best course of action but a decision will be made on that in due course.

"We don't imagine if we went with the surgery option it would cause him to miss a significant part of the start of the season as it would be fairly minor."

by the way, Bellchambers is 3 months. Will miss the first 4-5 matches of the season.

aswell ...

Pies recruit Patrick Karnezis is facing a delayed start to his first season at the Magpies as he overcomes a lasting groin injury (osteitis pubis). I'd stay away for the first bit of the season atleast.

[Colin D'Cops]

Yep, Bell worst than first expected. Could mean Thurlow may get a run for the first couple of rounds

Blow for @GeelongCats with @joelselwood14 having foot surgery. Cats expect him to be back running in 2-3 weeks. Details @superfooty soon

Might mean his misses opening weeks, maybe not.

 

[CaptScott]

May be news to some, but Barlow out for 4-6 weeks

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-04-01/barlow-may-miss-six

 

[mic59]

Not an injury, but Nat Fyfe suspended for 2.

 

[SloppyJoe]

Kreuzer out for 3 months for those that had him.

 

[Quazza]

anyone know anything about McEvoy?

 

[HammerTime55]

Does anyone know how serious Dahlhaus' injury is? Is he going to out for any longer than a week?

 

[CaptScott]

Does anyone know how serious Dahlhaus' injury is? Is he going to out for any longer than a week?

Most sites reporting it is precautionary, so likely to play next week.

 

[mic59]

Angus Monfries 4 weeks but in my experience when Port says 4 weeks it can easily blow out to 8 weeks. Wingard's injury is likely to be a week only.

 

[CaptScott]

Nothing official but word (early) on AFL site:

Mummy 2 weeks
Leuey serious knee injury
Hanley hamstring strain (poss 3-6 weeks)
Mackie might miss next week
NicNat likely to play next week

 

[CaptScott]

Ellis'scans are good, chance to play as early as next round. Hmmmm.... hold or trade?

 

[Torz]

Ellis'scans are good, chance to play as early as next round. Hmmmm.... hold or trade?

Any idea on his B/E?
If he plays next week, I'd probably hold.

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Ellis'scans are good, chance to play as early as next round. Hmmmm.... hold or trade?

Great news! Thanks bro.

Made my trades this week that little bit easier. Ellis is Rd 9... That's handy for the byes.

 

[CaptScott]

For those few that still have him (like me) , Hanley may be back as early as ANZAC day!

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-04-21/lions-hopeful-on-hanley

Big question for me is hold or fold. Was averaging over 100 in defence, though tag risk higher with Rich out. Will likely wait and see in RDT, see if I can save a trade.

 

[kaisasosai]

So was Crouch actually injured or just taken off for a early rest?

 

[Krujan]

LOL

SuperFooty (AFL) ‏@superfooty 20 secs
.@sydneyswans forward Kurt Tippett's comeback will be delayed at least another week. He suffered a cracked rib in the NEAFL at the weekend

 

[Cold Hard Cash]

Anyone got some info on Ambrose and a possibly return date?

 

[Mattrox]

So was Crouch actually injured or just taken off for a early rest?

Cramping. No actual injury.

 

[Tippaz]

Anyone got some info on Ambrose and a possibly return date?

AFL website says 1-2 weeks

 

[CaptScott]

Holy smokes Hanley passed his fitness test and is flying to NZ (Herald Sun)
