News 2023 Injuries, Suspensions, and Concussion Protocols

[THECHIEFTON]

Calf injuries make hammys look like a cramp!

Nearly as bad as infected blisters!

 

[Kedford]

Calf strain 3-4 weeks usually.

Nervous Dunkley is the same.

Dunkley's is a corky, so hopefully it's just a week. Parish missed 2 weeks last year.

Hopper missed 6

Hopper's was a soleus strain which is a bit worse and more rare than your typical calf strain.

has a hip that will keep him from rucking, which I wish they’d told us LAST WEEK. Has to be a trade, ain’t no one fielding a Freo KPF

Can loop Sheldrick/Wilmot to replace Dunkley. If Sheldrick scores enough Wilmot can still move back to be looped with Mitchell at D6.

Good news for Darcy owners

 

[BOMBERBLITZ]

Oliver a test. "A chance to return against St. Kilda.

Not SC relevant but Fritsch out for 7-8 weeks. Big blow for that highly functioning forward line of theirs. Trac needs to play forward full time now.

Injury Report | Fritsch scans returned

Bayley Fritsch had surgery on Tuesday morning while Clayton Oliver is a chance to return

www.melbournefc.com.au

This bloke doesn't look "highly functioning"

 

[Blackhawk42]

Didn't Brisbane say Dunkley wasn't injured after they subbed him?

Then somebody pointed out that his Mrs has a netty Grand Final this weekend he probably wanted to attend, and a game against West Coast to acceptable to skip?

Still not convinced he's injured at all, but they need to announce something other than 'unavailable' since this isn't country footy.

Re Dunks, Neale was on 360 last night and he didn’t sound too confident on him returning next week due to the short turnaround - Friday night game.

Was still hopeful, I guess if it actually is 2 weeks and they are not telling us porkies then it’s not too bad.

Surely 2x 3hr flights wouldn’t be the best for a corked/strained calf?

 

[Test Tickle]

Where's he flying to?

 

[Hamez]

Where's he flying to?

His partners netball grand final is in Melbourne this weekend

 

[evo]

If old mate is spotted at the netball game we should at minimum give him a bit of heat on Twitter hehe.

[Sherman41]

Honestly this is just a joke. Christ!

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Setback again for Piggy

 

[Sherman41]

If Dunkley was in, I could prob hold again but not now. Trade plans flucked.

 

[Faz 2000]

Having already traded out Piggy and Sicily

 

[vanders]

 

[pincrusher]

Looks like I'm calling on the reserves again this week. Piggy and Dunks. Have Johnson and Wardlaw in the mids and Mitchell and Sheldrick up front. (possibly Cooper Harvey as well).

 

[THECHIEFTON]

I'm waiting for the "Sicily has pulled a hammy at training" news that will no doubt come next week for those that held him and Oliver.

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Ffs Oliver, so tempted to use my last trade and be done with this oliver saga

 

[evo]

Really dissapointing. It scuttled what would ve been my best ever season.

 

[Petrify]

More details on Oliver below. Really doesn't sound good.
