[Yianni]

Standard 3 weeks + the extra 2 weeks with updates....

This is 'unofficial' right?

Going to miss him next week. Gave Lynch a bath in R1. Hopefully he wont miss more than 3. Lucky we have the bye.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

The injury is a great shame for Luke and the team - he has been in great form and we will really miss him. But he just proved again that he will do anything for the team and added to what will be quite a legend by the time he is done. Shinboner.

 

[Horizons_00]

We're going to miss his ability to play on Lynch.

I wished you didn't remind me

Injury seems even worse now

 

[longlivenmfc]

I believe it's more tendon and looking like 6-8 weeks.

*kkkkkkk

Do our players ever not do tendon hamstrings?

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

The Bounce said he tore it off the bone.

Season over if thats the case.

The year is turning to s**t.

Somewhere between lots and shitloads.

 

[Arden]

This year is an anus hamstringus.

Caps off the shittest weekend in history when it comes to footy.

Can't but help to think that these hammy injuries have something to do with the players being overloaded in the pre-season. The extra games ect are taking their toll.

The Bounce said he tore it off the bone.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Would have been a game winning effort if the forwards did their job half as well Luke did his in that moment.

******* hell I hadn't read the above. * * * * *.

 

[tazaa]

* this s**t

 

[Event Horizon]

This season has quickly gone from "everything aligning" and "it's our chance" to "everything is going to s**t" and "what the hell have we done to anger the footy Gods?".

 

[Caracas]

I know I have to say "touch wood" before I proceed here. However, right now, just prior to the break, the only guys suffering significant injuries are all eminently replaceable. As long as W8 & Wells come good, as I suspect they will, we are OK. Hansen, Turner and Anderson are kicking their heals ready to slot in if required. Dumont is looking fantastic. Mason Wood is ready to explode! Any day now, Lindsey is going to kick 8 and "moon" his detractors. Higgins & Wright (both impact injuries, so not as big a concern) should be back in time. As I say touch wood.

Spewing about this hammy. he was really starting to cement a spot. We're gonna miss his contested footy.
