Is that meant to be a good thing?

Better then damage to the hamstring tendon.

Is that meant to be a good thing?

Maybe not ideal, but probably a lot better than tearing the hammy itself.

In other injury news, Buddy Franklin is out for 3-4 weeks with a knee issue. Given we play Sydney in 4 weeks, I'm betting on it being 3.

I guarantee it. He returns from injury against us a ridiculous amount of times

To me it runs the risk of creating a subconscious negative association with the brand.

Hahaha ...

... “Collingwood’s press conference on racial inclusion, proudly brought to you by ...” ...

... once upon a time the mantra was “Any publicity is good publicity”, but that was in the days before corporate social responsibility was a thing!

Can understand the attraction of bringing Mayne back. Having 6 players with <10 senior games to their name is likely rarely going to end well. BUT I'd still prefer they persist with them ahead of Mayne. JDG replacing Ruscoe should be sufficient rebalancing of that ledger.

Kevin White out with 'General soreness' - 8-10 weeks

I knew it was a bad idea for Howe to chair off Sidebottom.

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Obviously a few of us were watching Howe chair off Sidey and thinking "WTF!?" and now...........we'll never know , will we? They wouldn't admit to it even if it was true.

Is it just me or is Syndesmosis the new buzz word in the AFL this season.

Man I miss the good old days when a player would only need to sit out 2 weeks for a hammy or rolled ankle.

It didn't seem to be a thing until the last decade but now it seems to be more rampant than Covid19.

 

[Anzacday]

Bugger!!
On the bright side we can pick up 4 players next month and have a look at them.

 

[Jen2310]

Someone got some cotton wool? Wrap it around Reef. Poor kid.

Whatever happened to Osteitus Pubis? The buzz injury of the 00s

 

[Hotpiescoldbeers]

How long would reefs injury keep him out for? Isn’t the same thing scharenberg had when we drafted him

 

[unplugged]

Fook me

 

[Jen2310]

Depends on the severity. If he'll need surgery or not. Or if its on the lower end and can heal by itself.
6 weeks is prob best case.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

* me that sucks. Let it heal, Reef, don’t go for the tightrope procedure.

No, Scharenberg had stress fractures/hot spots in his navicular bones in both feet iirc.

 

[Quicky]

fu** me that sucks. Let it heal, Reef, don’t go for the tightrope procedure.

Is it likely to be a long term problem? Isn't that the one that ended Swanny and Egan atthe Cats? Or am I mixing it up.
