Injury 2016 Injury Updates Thread

[Forzaport]

Hold up, Channel 7 news said quote "a hobbled Charlie Dixon is also set to sit out the last two games" ??

No surprise there. Dixon has been lame for weeks.

 

[John the Butcher]

He shouldn't play the next two games.

Well exactly

Hinkley pretty much said in his presser that dixon will most likely be put on ice for the remaining games.

 

[Us against the rest]

Wingard will be in a "split" then will undertake a "phyisotherapy prorgram"

Thanks port.

So Chad has played with a dislocated finger for most of the season. Along with 2 hamstring strains and a head knock it's been a rough year for him. No wonder he wasn't quite his usual mercurial self.

It'd explain the lack of marks at least. Seriously add Chad at half pace, Dixon playing under duress, Boak clearly playing injured at least part of the year with all kept playing and it's just why? With these we were never going to be a flag threat (on top of no Ryder), yet we risked long term injuries on key players to limp to mid table. So the 'gains' were injury risks, a worse draft pick and less games for their potential replacements. To see the team repeatedly embarrassed, without the extra justification them being out would have given.

My mind is just boggling at the clubs thinking across everything this year.

This.

Wingards marking ability flat out disappeared this year, so hearing this news is actually pretty good IMO.

Hopefully he can get in a solid preseason, stay injury free in the first part of the year, build some confidence and get back his magic marking ability and his clean skills at ground level.

 

[SR17]

and hopefully doesn't get stuck in bali again

Where do you draw the line though? If we mothball Boak, Wingard, Dixon et al and do the same with other players under duress, would we be able to field a team after June?

I'd have been happy to not be able to field a team, then call out the AFL, that perhaps they should have given us top up players.

[Coobk001]

They're taking the piss if they actually consider playing Jonas.

 

[Adz2332]

Austin back i like. get games into him....
dixon and jonas sit for the final game!

 

[Schulzenfest]

Ken will send Dixon's corpse out there Weekend at Bernie's style if it means he doesn't have to play Butch.

 

[1954]

They're taking the piss if they actually consider playing Jonas.

Unless it's his farewell game.

Have heard his head issues were a bit worse than advertised.

 

[finbarr]

The last time I can remember we put so many players in for late season surgery and out to pasture for the year was 2006.

Pros - We finished top 2 the following year.

Cons - 119.

 

[GreyPower]

I really hope Johnson has a good pre-season, and stays fit next year, to show us what he is capable of.
