2017 injury thread

[Ichabod Noodle]

How can a team that cant find a spot for Tiziani and Cumming claim to have no depth? They're both clearly future superstars of the game.
Seriously other than kicking the cat what can we do, that's risky the little bastards got a memory like an elephant and sharp teeth.

I don't want anyone kicking a cat - they'd do their ankle and be done for 6 weeks

IF
Sliding Doors ever mentions what depth we have

THEN

Put the orthopaedic unit at Westmead on urgent standby....

 

[Simmofreo]

This sucks balls

If we cop an injury tomorrow (on a slippery track) we are in serious trouble

Unfortunately Next week could get very ugly.

The Eagles usually win by an average 6 goals at home

Please please please no defensive injuries

If... At the current rate we will be lucky have 18 guys, with a starting 22 looking like a pipe dream

This is so so unfair

I have been crapping on about Lobb not being right all week

That is a truly ridiculous injury list. I've highlighted the (IMO) first 22 locks. That's 7! Then there's a few guys like Kennedy and Reid who would be very close, so makes you appreciate the wins against WB and Collingwood even more now. You'd imagine trouble will come, as you can't continue to patch a team together, but if everyone gets up and running come round 18-22, look out.

 

[Simmofreo]

Hang on..... s**t

Has anyone noticed that Corr and Reid are named but still listed as tests

What the hell happens if those two miss as well

Armageddon!!

When we get down to having to upgrade Sproule & Stein to play ... we'll know we're in deep s**t!

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Fox sports news....

"Can we call it an injury crisis yet?"

I think we went past that about three weeks ago.

 

[Giant Pete]

One problem with our injury list is that they are just about all leg injuries. As such, they'll all be coming back underdone. The only one who will come back relatively fit will be Hopper. I think him and Cogs are the most important outs. Our first quarters in the last two weeks we have been smashed in the midfield. We really need more of the in and under mid who doesn't exit the contest too soon.
Will Hopper return before the bye?

 

[Giant Pete]

Also, Steve J really looks to be a passenger. Even his kicking is below par. Much rather De Boer if we had a choice

He is holding on due injuries. As you say, if we had choices...

 

[Giant Blue]

Here is a worst case scenario question.
What happens if we do not have 22 listed fit players?
Apparently there were only 4 Giants listed players in the NEAFL on the weekend. We are getting very close to giving Joel Patful a call.

Ok so im getting really frustrated now !!!!

Not one game this year without an injury to a top 22 player

Can anyone see us getting through west coast without getting smashed ?

Johnson not a massive loss but Lobb is huge
