Tom Morris said Jezza told reporters outside the place where he went for a scan that he'll miss a few weeks. I have yet to see an official notice from the club about it so I'll wait until then. I know he passed the fitness test but that doesn't mean it was a good decision on the night.
He set up the win.
Under-appreciated comment
At least it wasn’t the other Tom, I.e., Brown, who made this report
Hamstring tightness i think. Don’t know if he will play though.
I may have heard it wrong as to wear Jezza reportedly said it, I heard it on the TV but I was in another room.
Thought Clark was gone for the season.The following doesn't help to dispell the idea that Kreuger is somewhat injury prone
UP to six Cats could return to football this weekend as Geelong's injury list takes a step in the right direction despite losing spearhead Jeremy Cameron to a hamstring strain.
Sam Simpson could be back on the park after straining his hamstring in Round 8 against Richmond and then tweaking his quad during training.
"Sammy Simpson has built a body of work, he’s completing full sessions and is likely available this week," GM of Football Simon Lloyd says.
All three omissions from last week's side will raise their hands to reclaim their places in the side at this week's selection table.
"The three players who didn’t play last week in Shaun Higgins, Esava Ratugolea and Mark O’Connor – they’ll all be available for selection this week," Lloyd says.
Speedster Jordan Clark has made quick work of his shoulder rehab.
"Jordan suffered an AC joint injury in the VFL game against the Brisbane Lions where he was playing a really solid game as an inside mid and winger," Lloyd says.
"He’s completed all his return to contact and has had a positive rehab and training block so hopefully he’ll return this weekend."
Rhys Stanley should have no issues after heading to the rooms during Friday's win over the Bombers.
"Rhys came off during the game after a contact injury and was able to return to play. He finished out the game strongly in the ruck," Lloyd says.
"We were really pleased he was able to get through and he appears to have pulled up well.
"We’d expect him to be available to play this week."
Uncapped duo Cameron Taheny and Nathan Kreuger should both also play this week.
"Cam Taheny returned last week, playing in the VFL against the Bombers," Lloyd says.
"We were pleased with his run, he spent a lot of time on the wing and ran really well in his return. He got through unscathed so that was positive.
"Nathan Kreuger injured his ankle when doing extras in training last week. He’ll be a test on Thursday this week, so he’ll go close to playing."
Injury Update: Round 17
A large number of Cats are closing in on returning to play.www.geelongcats.com.au
Yeah, that's some incredible recovery from an AC joint injury..
Hope its sorted finally. I'd hate to see him end up like Smedts with adolescent shoulders.
It's hard to believe that it would be 100%. He may be realising that its now or never in terms of trying to earn back a spot in the seniors in 2021. But yeah, you just hope he doesn't do further damage if he plays.
That list is very unreliable. Fingers crossed it’s more toward the six end than the eight.
Yep, he is one of few that has dash AND can kick accurately and intelligently. If we had anybody, not currently injured, who had those qualities it would be nice to give them a run to see if they could fill that role. Defensive accountability would be a bonus.
I've done the same.
What on God's green earth would make you think we want to know anything about that.
I don't think you're thinking what I'm thinking.What on God's green earth would make you think we want to know anything about that.
I'm pretty sure its what you were going for. Hehehe.I don't think you're thinking what I'm thinking.
Mind out of the gutter please.
