[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Not sure what people are thinking but there is no such thing as hurting your hamstring , missing rest of the game ( especially full game ) then playing the next week

Hamstrings don't work like that

Talia and Knight won't play and we are at least a 50% chance of suffering another hamstring during Sunday's game

To pick either Talia or Knight or both increases our chances of having a 1 man bench by 3/4 time

Won't happen

The only way is if the pain he experienced turned out to be purely related to his back

Apparently he barely moved in captains run so went in half cooked

So even then best to get it right , don't win flags against the tigers in round 6 but could lose them by playing through it

Get the core strengthened and off legs for 10 days and he can play against the Roos if it's back related

Down in cold Tassie after a 2 plane trips?

Back related is almost worse in a way as it may be an ongoing issue

Are there seriously no direct flights from Adelaide to Tassie?

And that's the sad thing. Who wins the raffle this week?

 

[BunjiMac]

I don't buy it.

I think it's the AFC foxing like they did with Jenkins.

"Oh, player xxx has pulled up well and is a chance to play."

I bet they even show training footage of Talia during the week, but I bet he ain't playing.

Yes

Take it over a 6 wk hammy tear but you're right In some ways

I have a feeling Talia will struggle in his late 20s

Apparently can barely train between games since he was 21 !!!

 

[earlsta]

We don't really need Talia this week anyway.. Hartigan is a better matchup for Rievoldt than Talia.

Richmond don't have any other talls of note..

Otten and Lever can cover, I rekon Charlie will play more forward this week like last game.. Charlie and Menzel and Eddie will be super important this Sunday to negate Ellis and Houli. (Defensive pressure)
Put these two designated kickers from their back 50 under pressure and they'll cough it up.

 

[BRL121]

Geoffa, every player ices up after a game. It's standard prevention. Icing up during a game doesn't mean you will miss next week. It just means that you will not be playing any further in that game on that day.

Like Charlie.

 

[BRL121]

I think it's more "We're not telling"

This is all getting a little tedious. They were supposed to be having scans, yet in the AFC report it reads as if each player has decided on the seriousness of his injury! Where are the scan results and what do the medicos say? Geez! They (AFC) probably are playing games.
This is all very reminiscent of previous injury reports this year. Whereas, e.g., Gawn has scans immediately and his correct prognosis is made public soonish, we seem to play it really cool and maybe have a scan or two, you know, in due course, and play it by ear. Are we really so casual as to not have scans and rely on the player feeling good? I think not: it has to be a game.

 

[conVINCEd]

Yes

Did you go to training or was it reported? Seems crazy that we played him against the Suns. (appreciate the intel)

Someone reported it who went to training

But Talia is also known to do very little during the week , he doesn't pull up well from games and never has

Could have some issues long term I think

Didn't we get an email from the club that you can't watch the crows in tas with a direct flight? Or did I imagine that?

And yes there haven't been direct flights from ADL to HBA for donkeys years.

Charlie suffering from persistent groin soreness. That's why had limited time in middle last week..

Seriously, does the club have something to answer for there, in playing him on Saturday?

I'm not sure I believe that, he was 21 in 2012 and in 2013 & 2014 he got the Brian Sando trophy for "outstanding and professional attention to detail in the preparation for being an AFL footballer."
