Injury 2023 injury thread

[Vdubs]

Danger, Duncan and Rohan are pretty big ins vs the Doggies. Gives me more confidence we can beat them.

Fitness, form and momentum is against them and us

 

[goyoucatters]

Just Danger and Rohan changes the outlook considerably. Duncan would be a huge bonus but even if he doesn't make it, we have a fighting chance with these two... provided we don't lose anyone else this week.

If you could wish for two specific players to come off the injury list in time for next week's game, this pair would be the first names mentioned. Both play directly into our greatest areas of deficiency at this point.

What did people make of the Q & A with CS about Cameron leaving the training track early?

CS said he didn't ask too many questions, but had been told all is ok.

Didn't sound convincing, but it was hard to tell if he was playing games with the reporter or not.

SO just saw it.

Edit: AFL Tonight about to run with same story

Cameron points at his upper right leg, and leaves the track.

CS admits to reporter that he saw it too, and it prompted him to walk down onto the ground to seek clarification, but he didn't talk to Cameron directly??

Seems a tad odd to me, but then who knows..........

Been told by very reliable Intel that Jye Clark will not be playing at all for the rest of the season... they will not rush him back this year for anymore games...

But with that news, will they announce it very shortly and that will give us 2 MSD picks? I'm not sure..

Can confirm that’s the most likely scenario at this stage. Won’t be taking any risks.

The worry.... Is that they would have been doing **** all today, just a light run before tomorrow.

But potentially just a knock, or bit of tightness and not actually anything from exertion

I will stand corrected, but if my memory serves me correctly, there was a suggestion he hadn't been on the track that long to begin with.

Probably had to rush to his form golf tee off time...

Hopefully so.

Scott's response just didn't inspire confidence though.

Could have also been that he started moving, felt a of tightness and went inside for a rub down to work on it.

30 mins ago he posted a picture of his boots with the indigenous art on them on his instagram saying he can't wait to wear them tomorrow so I'm sure he's fine.

That's more reassuring.

Why would we.. He was under contract and literally 4/5th in line.
We weren't expecting Rhys, Toby, and Neale all to be hurt at the same time. Also they used SDK there ahead of him..
He literally is a break glass in case of emergency option... Unfortunately that emergency is now present.

The most laughable thing is when people were actually stupid enough to try talk him up last year as our best option

Neale is a forward ruck not a 1st ruck.
Conway is a baby in ruck terms who shouldnt have been expected to play much afl this year.
We knew stanley would be 33 and isnt super durable.
It was very forseeable that we would end up short on rucks its not an 'emergency' that was out of the box.
It was an obvious likelihood that we should have had a contingency for.
We didnt and are suffering the pain.

Neale is like a Lobb type ... Not a 1st ruck and not a key forward. Somewhere in between.

If it was me id rule either clark or kroeger out for the year and take 2 picks but i reckon the club only takes one. We will find out by tuesday.

I agree yes.

Scott always does this he media manages in riddles

Speaking on Kroeger, it will be interesting see if he has a place on our list next year..

We were never going to carry another ruck on the list with Stanley, Ceglar, Conway, Neale, Blicavs and Ratugolea.

You might not like those options but they are the ones the club entrusted. They had no interest in another ruck. It was not foreseeable that we’d be in this position, not in the slightest.
