Injury 2015 Injury Update Thread

[hey shorty]

Geeeebuuuuuus. Its a real worry AFTER a week off.

 

[Redleg Crow]

"Crows midfielder Brad Crouch has experienced foot soreness and will not play this weekend."

That broken bone is always a worry. Sometimes it just doesn't heal right eg Kevin Durant. Not a great sign,

 

[Scorpus]

If the bone is broken again, give Crouch the rest of the year off. No training until next pre-season and we'll pray that 6 months off will do the trick

This year is not our window. So if putting Brad on ice for the rest of the year helps him I would do just that. Walshy has always looked at 2017 being our window so lets get Brad 100% fit.

That's the early prognosis unfort!

Broken?

[FantasticShirt]

Looks like Henderson not as bad as I was told. Good news. He's in for SANFL this week.

 

[footy4ever]

Any news on Tex's corky?

 

[hey shorty]

Crouch cleared according to twitter.

Just a sore foot then.

 

[Crowstar]

Looking forward to Otten coming back. Will slot in nicely when he gets his confidence back. Might be right for finals and be an upgrade to Cheney/Kelly.

 

[conVINCEd]

I don't understand where any love for Otten is coming from.

I don't have him near best XXII. He isn't strong enough to take on a true KP forward and is way too small for anyone else.

Cheney has been outstanding for the most part.

 

[Crowstar]

Cheney has been outstanding for the most part.

he has been good that's true but I'm not sold on him yet. He's got a great opportunity to cement a spot this year

I wouldn't risk either Tex or lever unless absolutely 100%. We have replacement players so silly to take the chance as we need them for the back half of the season.

Tex is just a corky, he can either move freely or not, I could be wrong, but I don't think there is a risk of it turning into a long-term injury.

I think we need Tex to play. Having your leader out there esp one as vocal as him goes a long way to helping us win. Without him there's a greater risk of complacency. It's a real danger game for us I think.

Otten in form is easily in our best 22. Hope he gets back and in form if we're in the finals.

If tex is out I'd like to see hendo up forward ...leave pods in the sanfl ....bring in one of knight or Atkins they are both ready for a crack but introduce them one by one

Every game is a danger game for us

 

[Tex Support]

Roo interviewing Tex this morning on MMM...

"You wouldn't want to miss with just a corky would ya Tex? That'd be a bit soft!"

I suspect the big skipper will play.

 

[Crowstar]

True...but I meant as in we are expected to win. We sometimes don't perform as we should in those games

Yeah I know, I meant the same thing

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I don't understand where any love for Otten is coming from.

I don't have him near best XXII. He isn't strong enough to take on a true KP forward and is way too small for anyone else.

What concerns me most is his closing speed. He's never been overly quick and doing his second knee is unlikely to help with that.
