Kelly wore 8 at Adelaide, suspect he wears that again

you do like a good spreadsheet don't you Lore

on that note, has anyone seen a 2021 injury ladder?

Same old spreadsheet just duplicated it, deleted half a dozen players and cleared the fixture ready for 2022. I like being able to find information when I want it but the AFL doesn't make it easy.

Haven't seen an injury ladder yet...

has only played 48 games. That is unbelievable. He seriously has the composure and nous of a 100 game player. Absolute gem.

2 new appointments to strength and conditioning team;

Alex Sakadjian has come across from Melbourne (was there for 8 years) to be our Senior Strength & Conditioning Coach. Looking after rehab and first years programming.

Conor Daley is our Head Strength and Power Coach, came from Manly Sea Eagles. He's an Irishman with some Gaelic background, does combat training like wrestling and such.

Performance update | Pre-season

Head of high performance Sean Murphy provides a performance update now that the full Bombers squad is in for pre-season.

We decided not to play him for 3.5 years

Lucky his body seems capable of still getting to 300 touch wood

Feels a bit late to be bringing in the first years program person. Has not the program started? I would have thought meetings between that person and the coaches should have been happening in September/October.

First years were drafted last week and trained with the group for the first time on Wednesday. I would expect the guy in charge of their program has been here for a little while though, getting familiar with everything and looking after the rehab group since that's the other half of his job,

It's probably come out now because it was the first opportunity to interview Murphy for the preseason (he also talked about Cox's foot and Pidge/Perkins doing well).

That sounds logical. I want to believe.

Anyone know where we are at with Harrison jones .. is he full training now ?

Haven't had an update since the pre-season video thing he did when he was talking about using the Alter-G a couple of times a week and running around the oval on other days. Seems to be on track though.

On the mic | Harrison Jones

Key forward Harrison Jones takes us through day one of the Dons' first-to-five-year players' pre-season campaign.

Look I love a good spreadsheet just like the next man but there’s no excuse for not expanding column enough…none whatsoever

In the actual spreadsheet it's all formatted nicely. I don't know why but when BigFooty embeds it, it changes the formatting of the text and mucks it all up. Sometimes the cell borders disappear too I've tried playing with it to try and get it to behave but when you change something in the spreadsheet there's a lag for the embed to catch up, so you change something then wait five minutes to refresh the forum and see if it has worked or not. Have come to the conclusion the juice isn't worth the squeeze wrt that particular issue.

Just joking, always excellent work on those. Interesting your comment on AFL and stats access. I follow NFL and MLB and there’s an abundance of stats available especially independent sites like Pro Football Reference for example. AFL gives us as little as possible obviously to protect Champion Data and get them to charge. Should be helping fans more on this regard

You can't even pay for it, lost opportunity there imo. CD definitely has the data, but you only get snippets of datasets from journalists in random articles and that's about it.

There used to be a sort of almanac thing they published annually but I don't think they've done it for a while and even that was rudimentary.

So where are we with injuries?

Hurley still looks to be out for a while
Durham has a corkie, might be back for St. Kilda?
Bryan had lacerations in his knee so missed last game, might be back for the Saints again?
Stringer should be back for round 1, touch wood
Reid is out for a little while too, apparently
Eyre (didn't play the Intra Club) did play the VFL praccy against the Dogs (Saw a photo of him sitting on the bench)
Phillips is outfor a little while with a groin injury
Voss didn't play the Intra but have no idea if he played the VFL praccy
Walla is out with mental health?

So by my count:

Hurley and Reid long term
Phillips and Walla out for round 1 probably
Voss we're not sure.

So we could end up with 16 AFL listed players in the VFL round 1

Walla I’m not holding my breath for, might take an extra couple of weeks. The rest sounds about right

 

[ant555]

Walla will have to play some VFL now hopefully it is in one of the last couple of practice games.

 

[Mikevk123]

I hope to see a few more players given a go throughout the year, while finding a key Forward.

 

[eth-dog]

Voss is fit apparently. Wanganeen didn't play VFL today

Injury news: Three in frame for return, Jones ruled out

The latest on Jake Kelly, Jake Stringer, Harry Jones and Aaron Francis.

www.essendonfc.com.au

Player	Injury	Duration
Jake Stringer	Groin	Test
Aaron Francis	Knee	Test
Harry Jones	Ankle	Short term
Zach Reid	Foot	Medium term
Michael Hurley	Infection	Indefinite

So Jones, Reid and Hurley miss round 1. "Everyone" else is fit (don't believe that for a second).

 

[TheUnicorn]

K'mon Stringer u big beautiful bastard.

Michael Hurley	Infection	Indefinite

So Jones, Reid and Hurley miss round 1. "Everyone" else is fit (don't believe that for a second).

Walla is indefinite afaik but not an injury and not MH as that would also be on the injury list

Phillips had a groin injury that hasn’t been commented on

McGrath not doing full training this week

Stringer probably underdone even if available

Durham was injured but is now training without any specific comment about that in the injury update

If I had the team lists for the VFL praccies might know more. Few players who didn’t play either pre-season game, haven’t been seen since the intraclub. So might be depth or might be injured.

 

[eth-dog]

Injury news: Snelling and Cox face tests

The latest on Will Snelling, Nik Cox, Harry Jones and Zach Reid ahead of round four.

www.essendonfc.com.au

Player	Injury	Duration
Nik Cox	Ankle	Test
Will Snelling	Calf	Test
Harry Jones	Ankle	Short term (Seems like 1-2 weeks?)
Zach Merrett	Ankle	Medium term (Maybe 6 weeks?)
Kyle Langford	Hamstring	Long term (8+ weeks I reckon)
Michael Hurley	Hip	Indefinite

So we could have up to 40 of our 44 players lace up on the weekend (medi sub included).
