Milera.

And it's just not hammies, it's groins that seem to linger.

Its a fair couple of questions he's raised.
Milera was pre-christmas yeah? So 3. Which players have done groins?

But i'll also bite. Groins tend to linger for most players. Remember OP a few years back? Seemed every injured player had it and no-one could figure out how to get rid of it.

Gather was referring to Brown & Cheney who are delayed starts due to groin issues from last year.

Not worried about Sloane, but i'd stick Crouch in the ressies first.
Yeah, Sloan can still run I guess, just no contact.
What does Crouchy do for the next 6 weeks? work on his guns and jog slow laps. Definitely a run in the reserves first.

You'd hope they would have learned from last year that they need to give him at least a few games in the magoos before rushing him back in the side.

Looks like this preseason could be a great "trial by fire" for our young midfielders without Sloane, Thommo, B. Crouch and Lyons, a real sink or swim moment for some and a real opportunity to impress for others.

For some players, often all it takes is an injury or 2 to give them a proper opportunity and they shine. Let's hope one or two guys can do this because god knows we need it.

Not sure if mentioned but this website named all players that have impressed for each club during pre-season and they said the following about us.

There are some young guns coming through at the Crows, however it’s skipper, Taylor Walker that is catching attention early. He’s managed to put on some more weight while remaining relatively fit and will be an absolute handful for some of the game’s best defenders.

Lets all hope that we see a bigger year from Tex this year, in terms of leadership in 2016 he was fantastic of course by winning AFLPA captain of the year but it would be good to see his goals output increase. Where does everyone see Tex playing his most dominant footy? I kinda thing he is better suited to full forward.
