Read somewhere that he's already in main training and looking sharp. Surely he's a good chance to play Sydney?

 

[Hamez]

Suffered a minor setback with a dislocated finger, which will prevent him from contact drills.

I feel for Dys. Hasn't gotten a proper run at it in a while. But I have a feeling he'll remind us and the rest of the competition just how good he is.

How good he was on one foot last year was inspirational stuff. I also have good feeling about what he can produce in the next few years.

Fitness test before he can play in round 2.

Head of medical services David Rundle said the club would assess Dyson Heppell (foot) and Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti (ankle) later in the week ahead of Sunday’s clash.

“Dyson has been training with the group for the last three weeks, (and) been going really well. He’s in great shape at the moment and completed match-play on the weekend and pulled up well,” Rundle said.

“He’ll train fully this week and a determination will be made at the end of the week as to his availability. That will depend on himself and the coaches but from our point of view, we’re really happy.

Star duo to face fitness tests

Two Essendon stars will need to prove their fitness for Sunday's clash with Sydney.

Played okay. Didn't need to star but needed the run. Will be important against Melbourne between the arcs.

It's going to take at least 5 weeks before I consistently recognise him.

It took 2 years without the dreadlocks for me to recognise his brother.

Hope he can take a leaf out of Cotchin’s book and lead from the front with his application to the defensive side of his game as I suspect McGrath and Parish will leap frog him in the pecking order this year.

Looks like Smac now his hair is short.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Yuck yuck yuck

 

[DapperJong]

hmmmmmmmm s**t

 

[VelvetSledge]

Ankle injury. In a moonboot and on crutches.

Piss.

 

[Squeaky]

s**t!

Ankle injury. In a moonboot and on crutches.

Piss.

That’s the first thing they do with any foot/ankle injury though. Doesn’t give us any clue on the severity.

Be interesting to see if they let Parish gobble up the midfield minutes or bring in Hibberd

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Hard to know exactly as the reporters are always rushing to be first. But I think Edmond is generally pretty good. He's reporting a break in the ankle

 

[eth-dog]

Like they haven't gotten scans yet. No it doesn't look good and I think he'll miss this week but that's guesswork on Edmund's part.

 

[Andronicus]

Bugger.

Same leg as the injured foot?

 

[Darealrath]

Ugh. Huge loss.

 

[VelvetSledge]

EL CAPITANO

 

[HirdsTheWord]

another injury..........

* me dead.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Sack Crow.

 

[Seb78]

FMD

 

[Bjchan13]

Unlucky. Hopefully not too serious. Id replace him with Mitch Hibberd or Dyl Clarke.
