Whatever little Nicky, you are an upgrade target this year.

No doubt he's playing because you can play through that but he'll likely be rested more than he would usually until it heals.

Sucks re Wardlaw.
Was looking forward to.him.and Lukey Parker terrorizing other mobs' midfields together, Wardlaw absolute goer.
Has had the issues throughout his career, not ideal

10-12 weeks for George.

When Warlaw does a hammy, he really does it well .....Tom Powell steps up, and maybe Urqhart ?

If these injuries continue, we'll have 200 rookies to choose from in rd1. Usually I'm worried that there's not enough rookies, now I'm worried that we'll have too many

Do I have a short memory, or are there a lot more injuries than normal at this time of the year? Sad for the players.

I attribute it to the new CBA agreement whereby players have more time off during the summer.

After the XMAS break teams are trying to flog their players to breaking point as they have a much more condensed period of time to get their maximum training loads in. Plus the fact that the season is starting earlier (e.g beginning of March) compared to a number of years ago.

It was said the other day, players get 15 weeks off a year ....come back for a pre-christmas block, then have another 3 weeks

The ex CARL fitness bloke said it's hard for players to hold conditioning in over 3 weeks of Christmas .....so when they get back, it's yet another week of "easing" them back into it

Clubs now want to be ramping up intensity .....an we're seeing the results

This is crazy stuff, all these injuries.

Matt Kennedy has to be an option if he gets a mid role. He always puts up numbers when he plays there and could pig out in the dogs midfield

Yep

I just looked at his numbers .....when Kennedy get 70%+ TOG and 40% CBA's ....he averages 105

He's really had a tough run at CARL .....low TOG, playing poor roles ....and lots of subs

they didnt strech up before dancing in the abiza

clubs break them this time of yr so they dont have to deal with the prima donna's later

I wonder if it's more the heavy media coverage. Back in the day we probably don't hear about most of these small injuries.
