News 2023 Injuries, Suspensions, and Concussion Protocols

[Duckworthy]

Supercoach All Star team for players missing this week through byes/injury/suspension? Season vs season this is one of the worst I can remember

 

[Rayzorwire]

Who misses multiple weeks with a ******* blister? Spend some more time in the sun to strengthen your skin you pasty ginger campaigner!

Haynes concussion - 1 week
Then gets an infected something - 1 more week
Then two weeks in a row scores 50 in a half in the ultimate everywhere man 'uber POD glad you held him' tease role, only to end up in the low 60's and go utterly AWOL with the opposite role from first half both weeks.
The 2nd of those weeks he gets a mystery TBC ankle in the dying minutes.
Now he has a bye, so no rush on any updates anytime soon.
And between his ongoing issues and the ~$100k he's bled in the last month, he's sitting there waving from your team sheet, the D6 from hell.
Who knows when he'll be back, who knows whether to blow yet another trade.

Nobody else has the same problem, so what could have been a nice 95-105 average from a handy, unique proven player (much like everyone will probably get or better out of Yeo who on paper is a far riskier commodity), has turned into a many hundreds of points disaster hold disadvantage on literally everyone in the comp.

Piggy?

Yep, his infection is also quite an annoying hold, but even now he doesn't come close to matching the Haynester's, bless him.

Thankfully I jumped off the Haynes train when it was announced he was going to miss a second week in a row after his concussion with that infection.

I wish I had jumped off the Piggy train too but I think I will just have to ride that one out now.

Holding Piggy has been a complete disaster, seemed like we could potentially get him back after one or maybe two weeks, and it's somehow turned into 5+ with the bye. Copping a donut this week as well as I had 18 with him included. Hopefully Fagan the kent bails me out and gives Sharp a game like he said he would before dropping him for a month.

Rumour, and I stress rumour at this stage

Oliver 4 weeks

Nose beers

Thinking of sidewazing him to Petrecca.

This is infuriating and a hope Melbourne get pumped tonight down at the Cattery.

 

[Scythe]

Good for Maric, you'd think

Have 20 playing this week, so Oliver can stay. If he misses again next week when we are back to a full squad then I'll cut my losses and trade him to a cheaper premium mid while holding onto a nice cash bounty.

The positive about having a POD like Newcombe (and a decent amount of trades remaining) is that as long as he hovers around the $500k mark I could trade him to Oliver later in the season without much concern.

It should do. Waterman is prone to being thrown behind the ball, but should still help his JS nonetheless

I find, if you trade out an injured player ....another just steps up and gets injured in his place .....so holding Oliver seems to avoid further carnage .....it's spooky !

Unfortunately for us owners, he'll struggle to touch the ball 10 times in general. Has a horrific record against the Dees.

That being said, Jez kicking Geelong's only 7 goals and the Dees winning would be a delightful start to the weekend

contested marks, goals and assists = mega points. he only has to kick 4 to score well.
will have to work hard for it though. Melbourne defence is stingy and Geelong mids are shit.

I like it he needs to pay us back for last weeks poor score

Yep and the -3 doesn't quite cut it!

Thoughts a prayers for those that invested in Jezza last week…

I did warn them...

Although this injury wasn't really his fault.

It was Rohan’s. Missed ball, braced for impact, shoulder to head, severe impact. I’d say 4 weeks. Clearly had option to tackle.

Ralph the mouth believes that Piggy is a major doubt for next week too, going for more scans tomorrow.
