FMD. Here we go again.

Farrrrk....

If any of Bont, Hunter or Wood get injured in this upcoming AFLX farce, it will do my head in.

 

[Brown Dawg]

Gives some room for one of the new guys to step up and see how good they really are. I wouldn't say its all that bad. I'm excited by our new players
but can't see some fitting in while our regular players are holding the spots. Only injuries will let us see how our new players handle the big time.

This won’t be a popular post. JJ is a loss, but not a crucial loss. 1. We seem to have a plethora of Hb clearance types. 2. He is like a set of taps. You get both hot & cold. His best is elite, at his worst he’s a passenger. If one of our young guns can fill the role, whilst obviously not at Jj’s top level, but more consistent, JJ may need to be re-invented mid season. Whilst some criticise the flexibility mantra of Bevo, minimising impact of injuries is a benefit. There are a few obvious catastrophic injuries we could incur, but overall I think we have most covered.

Not ideal, but not the end of the world.

He may only miss the first couple of rounds going by this.

Libba came back in 6 weeks and his was major. The Premiership is still ours to lose gentlemen

Libba Snr came back from an ACL in eight weeks

 

[Distinctive_]

4 weeks and he's still in ready and firing for round one best case scenario.

Yeh but Libba Snr was on the good oil like his Brother Fred, god bless them both

Tony was the toughest guy on the block. Still is.

 

[gordo2016]

Libba Snr came back from an ACL in eight weeks

17 weeks it was.

 

[ScragCity]

17 weeks it was.

Wrong. It was actually 39 minutes.

Your posts are s**t.

 

[ScragCity]

Your posts are s**t.

I’m very hurt by this because my self-worth is determined entirely by what you think of the quality of my effortless posts on an internet message board.

Scrag is one of the great orators of the 21st century, campaigner

JJ (apart from Bont and Macrae) is our biggest possible loss. When he is on, we win. Simple as that. Teams shut him down in 2017 and we were trash.

Sucks, but these things happen. Here's hoping it isn't a major injury.

 

[Mattie2016]

JJ out 4-6 weeks. Eyeing off a round one return. I rate him a certainty.

 

[RedWhite&Blue]

I am hearing really loud jungle drums that Picko and Boyd will not play again.

 

[Northernsoul74]

I am hearing really loud jungle drums that Picko and Boyd will not play again.

I wouldn’t be surprised.

Why Boyd? Back or mental issues?

If that's true, it really sucks that we wouldn't receive any compensation for losing him. Spend our captain and pick 6 on the guy, he averages around 50% of possible games played, million bucks a year, and we may end up losing him.

For his sake, if his mental health is still a massive issue, then by all means he should retire and focus on getting himself good.

For the club's sake, we just made an enormous investment in an individual and got so little out of it. I guess we could argue that GF performance was God-like, but one game does not define a player and I still wonder whether the overall contract was worth it

Compensation?! I think him delivering a flag will do. Not sure how you can say we "got so little out of it". If it wasn't partly for his heroics we'd still be in major debt and suffering like St kilda
