I thought Sean Darcy had avoided serious injury according to the headline? Would’ve thought that this is basically the definition of a serious injury tbh.
Damn, well on the bright side.....Hogan didn't hurt his knee?
What’s up with Tabs? Darcy and Tabs down isn’t good.TRAINING NOTES: Happy Jesse Hogan and Stephen Hill make strides while ruck stocks take huge hit after Sean Darcy training incident

Fremantle continued to ramp up their preparations for the season's resumption with another contact session at their Cockburn facility. Here’s what we saw.
Happy Hogan and Hill
A pair of key Dockers have continued to ramp up their preparations for a possible return in round two.
Jesse Hogan took part in the contact sessions as he continues to build his fitness after returning to the club last month and looked comfortable as he worked hard up forward during the match simulation.
Stephen Hill also looked to be growing in confidence as he comes back from a quad injury sustained during the pre-season.
The veteran had the quad heavily strapped, but looked unhampered as he participated ran hard across the ground.

Fremantle's big man stocks are quickly diminishing with defenders Alex Pearce and Joel Hamling to miss a number of weeks with an ankle.
But one notable absentee from training today was forward Matt Taberner.
The injury riddled tall's absence is not a good sign given there is less than two weeks until round two and there are still questions over the fitness of Hogan and round one star Sam Sturt (back).
Sean Darcy and Lloyd Meek were the only two to do any ruck practise, until the former went down with an appararent injury during match simulation.
Wilson Worry
Running defender Nathan Wilson has appeared to take a step back in his return from a toe injury, working alongside Sturt away from the main group during full ground drills.
The speedster participated in the skill exercises for about 20 minutes before doing light sprint work near the boundary.
They were joined by Stefan Giro and Liam Henry as the rest of the team did match simulation.

Darcy down
Fremantle's big man stocks appear to have taken another hit with ruckman Sean Darcy going down during match simulation today.
The team's number one ruckman was left on all fours after going up in a marking contest and coming off worse for wear.
The 21-year-old tried to run it off but was unable to keep himself upright and left the ground in the hands of a trainer.
The West loves hyperbole. Wilson have never taken a step forward to begin with. So a step back whilst being in injury rehab? Please. Standard procedure.

Need to start lowering my expectations before Hogan breaks a leg or something.
Still weird to see the Number 1 being worn by someone taller than 175cm that doesn't slip over every change of direction.
Funny thing is, watching that footage with Jesse running from behind, he has a similar running style to Balla’s.

I hope Cam is ok.
Pav collapsed in one of his first training sessions after running repeat sprints with the flu, as horrible as the flu would be for Cam a week out from football returning - I hope it's something like that, or an inner ear infection, rather that something to do with his heart.

Agree, Best case dehydration/ fainting similar to overexertion (ala Pav) . He shed a fair few Kgs, might be overdoing the reduction in calories, imagine that Cam Mac overworking himself this page would meltdown.
Fingers crossed not similar to Dylan Roberton/ Jayden Pitt scenario? Things happening in 3’s , very Freo to have all 3 heart conditions impacting our draftees/ players.
