Well, we did lose both Gus & Ladhams in a VFL game a couple of years back ….

I read this and didn't even have to guess who the poster was

 

[The Blue Max]

So what’s that mean , surgery?

Generally they try taping it up 1st. If it stays unstable then it’s usually surgery. Unsure how many weeks but would have to be a min of 10.

 

[dosser]

One thing we know is that if our injury list says 2-3 weeks then it means he's probably just had his arm amputated.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Shoulder surgery later this week, out for 4 months

 

[caesar88]

My totally uninformed take is....... good call.

Gives him a possibility of being back by late season & finals.

And if we can't make finals without him then we don't deserve to be there anyway.

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

Don’t want to be negative but that puts a huge dent in our top four and, as a result, our premiership hopes. I’m so tired of this shit luck we’ve had for over a year now.

 

[fpm84]

So sorry about Errol, one of my favourite players to watch. Hope he recovers well and is back well before finals.

 

[zyzzbruh]

Diabolical. This could sink our season.

 

[TasSixer]

****

So what's that Rd16 at best?

 

[Chaisa]

 

[RUNVS]

Just saw it on facebook

Motherf*****

 

[wills2g]

It's the best time for him to come back get match fitness in time for a finals flag tilt

 

[TheGoatBaron]

****ing mother****ing ****

The thing is though, without Gulden, and especially if Heeney has a stint on the sidelines I don't see us making the top 4. We are not the same team when Gulden is not in it.

 

[Wolfgang West]

Diabolical. This could sink our season.

Put a ****ing line through us.

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

Just hard to feel excited about the season at all right now. Looked like the stars were aligning early on, then one bloody disaster quarter sours everything.

Please Heeney and Logan be ok.

 

[wills2g]

last year we had no gulden and no forward line with amartey constantly out injured and also logan not playing a single game. Like McLean was our #1 along with Francis & Ladhams - it was a disaster

at least this year, we have a functional fwd line and hopefully a midfield that can bat deep enough

also mills can move into the midfield

i think we will be OK this time around

Trouble Is when we have had luck in this area we have pissed up against the wall. The wheel turns.

 

[TasSixer]

I choose a favourite player, they leave(Titch, Dawson, Newman). So instead I choose a local player as my favourite so they won't leave. So now instead they just can't play. I'm not allowed to be fan

We still had no Amartey last year when Gulden came back into the team and we instantly looked better when he did.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

So what's that Rd16 at best?

Including the 2 byes, 4 months (16 weeks) takes it to Rd 18/19

 

[wills2g]

We still had no Amartey last year when Gulden came back into the team and we instantly looked better when he did.

i'm still fairly optimistic about our chances this year

every player was worse last year from the GF belting

all the middle tier & depth players are turning a corner based off 2 games

news fking sucks of course but I still think we beat Hawks and people will chill after

 

[TasSixer]

Including the 2 byes, 4 months (16 weeks) takes it to Rd 18/19

So wont be at his best by finals. Another right off year

Said it the other night and will say it again. Heeney is our match winner but Gulden is the architect. Starts everything and is the catalyst for what is perceived as our Main weapon for maximum impact against oppo.

Errol is upper echelon. He's an elite level cog in our system no one works as tireless as him. We're not making top 4 without him. It will be the difference in close games, and we'll end up having close games that wouldn't even have been close if we had errol.
