News 2023 Injuries, Suspensions, and Concussion Protocols

[stevebbb]

90% forward and 65 SC points please.

This would be beautiful.

I'm happy to ride Grundy until the wheels fall off.

Can always downgrade to Gawn for a solid profit, if I don't want to go up to English.

Hopefully Gawny doesnt scuttle Van Rooyen.

Bizarrely quite a few campaigners on the Dees board want to see Van Roo dropped, and wait for it, Schache bought in.

I reckon JVR gets dropped. My fears all along. Even though I followed the pack and brought the spud in.

Lever and Piggerd are back, that means Petty can move forward again.

Benny Brown is back, and before the injury he was in great form.

With Gawn and Lever back in, 2 or 3 have to be dropped. I think that's one of TMac or Petty (maybe both), and then JVR.

I hope I'm wrong...


OUTS: Tomlinson, TMac, JVR, Spargo
INS: Lever, Hibberd, Gawn, Brown
Melksham or Jordan the sub?

Literally nobody wants this lol. A few have just mentioned (as I've said many times) that Goody has a bizarre infatuation with Brown and McDonald, so he could be the one that makes way with Gawn and Brown fit. Schache is being mentioned if Gawn doesn't come up as people don't want JVR being battered in the ruck.

Again, nobody wants him out. There'll be some all-time melts on the Dees board if he is indeed dropped this week haha.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Why is this guy in a hurry to return

Always comes back quick from injury.

That will be something indeed. Some weird units on there.

Probably will be dropped ....but he'll be back during the season

 

[Northernsoul74]

Should drop Ziebell if they want to fast track actual on field results.

Isn’t Hall older?

Hopefully Darcy can quell English a bit so his price can start to go down or at least level out.

Darcy has been brilliant the last few weeks as a POD, only problem has been my opponents having English as their POD

I’m very worried about how Darcy is going to go this weekend against him.

Darcy will monster English.

Too big
Too strong

he may be able to nullify him in ruck contests but there’s no way the lumbering oaf can go with him around the ground.
I think Jackson could see a fair bit of ruck time.

English will OWN Jackson at every ruck contest

Would be a truly horrific move by Freo

Jackson can chase him around the ground for sure, but ruck contests - Jackson is terrible

He might even jump into English who will go down with a sore pinky

what part of English’s game will likely have more impact on the outcome?
his tap work or everything else?

This is why I went Brockman over JVR when both were bubble boys. Doesn't help anybody now, but Brocky is going to be given every opportunity to develop as this season wears on.

JVR looks like the classic case of a young tall forward with obvious talent in a good team who is completely expendable when huge matches are approaching. Hopefully this isn't the case for everybody who brought him in, but I can see him spending chunks of this season back in the VFL.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Only problem with that plan is Hodor never gets more than 5cm off the ground. English 89% TOG last week, and he'll make the big boy run.

That knee doesn’t have to go too high to hurt though - Darcy is a decent ruckman

Agreed, I started Hodor and stupidly traded him out in round 2. He's been a good hold (the door).

English held his ground vs Lycett (crap but pretty strong) last week. No reason he can't break even vs Hodor. And he will torch him around the ground.

Has JVR been a confirmed out?

 

[Wellsy35]

Has JVR been a confirmed out?

No, people are just intuiting it based on Melb’s current availables.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

So it's a back issue for Witts, haven't seen that mentioned before. Very tempting to take a flier on Moyle.

"Dew could be without co-captain Jarrod Witts

for a third straight game, saying the ruckman has been dealing with a back injury.

Witts will be given every chance to face the Kangaroos."

[Blackhawk42]

Has JVR been a confirmed out?

Nah, but I could understand if he's omitted at times during the season. People were just speculating.
