if you had a second gamer in your multi as a goal kicker it's you who should be delisted

Had a shot at goal and missed delist

Gamble responsibly

 

[Ambrosia]

Confident we’ve found one here

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Moves like he can play. Pretty good hands and mark overhead. Gives you confidence when he has ball in hand.

Just need to get him more games and match fitness.

An AFL career awaits you Mozzie.

Should Buddy up with Hep or Shiel and learn what being a pro is all about. If he “gets it” then he’ll be around for a long time.

Was excellent last night. Super clean hands in close, marks the ball well, tackles.

He stays involved way more than I thought. In a year can really see him getting Zaharakis half forward numbers rather than AMT.

 

[Ambrosia]

Sorry to be a very much a downer but you have to wonder how he’ll handle rehabbing a knee injury

2020 is just the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Hope it isn't serious. Good luck to him in his recovery.

 

[rumply]

This really sucks, probably won't see him again until 2022.

 

[Beerfish]

I've got my fingers crossed it was a pcl or something less shitful.

 

[eth-dog]

Please be a PCL.

 

[andleanback]

Please be a PCL.

Grabbing at the back of the knee instead of the front is a good sign. Although it has acl written all over it.

 

[DapperDon]

Serious injury.

Welcome to Essendon young talented hope! Apologies about the curse

PCL?

 

[Dero]

It looked so innocuous.

Iirc it looked like he was moving more laterally when he did it but he was definitely grabbing at the back.

 

[andleanback]

PCL?

Could be either, likely acl though as woosha said it looks like it. They would’ve done the initial test.

Cut and add as a rookie

put him on the inactive list you mean. Why waste a rookie spot when spots are tight already.

 

[Bombermania]

I know the club thinks its a knee but when he went for the back of his leg i thought it was a hammy. It looked so minor but serious knee damage is often caused by minor looking twists or turns.

Thats it but he is OOC?

So do we give him another full contract

I think they're still paid as senior players but it's like Lachlan Johnson this year, it opens another spot on the list.

I hope they don't cut lists but does make sense

 

[Goat Hird]

At least we have guys coming back. Forget ever having a full healthy list.
