[Saintly35]

This is now getting ridiculous.

FFS.

What's going on that all our guys are tearing their hammy high up and missing 8-12+ weeks... Anderson, McDonald, Garner, Turner now Wood. Something aint right

Its always the young promising types as well and not the old stodges

 

[Harris 10]

With our history of injury management I don't expect to see him again to 2018.

Don't tell me it's the Arden St surface

 

[rooboy29]

Guess the only good thing is he wasnr established yet and the position he plays is up for grabs! The 3 talls of brown maj and waite could still work all 3 move well for big blokes. Alls not lost i guess

We could use an Aaron Black type

 

[the big lebowski]

I find the timing of all this intriguing.

1: hurts his ankle Sunday and does t come back on

2: goes in for scans on ankle Monday seen limping.

3: nothing to worry about but doesn't train Tuesday

4: media speculate he won't be playing this week over Wednesday and Thursday

5: trains Friday (though didn't see him in any training footage) and does his hammy out for 8

Just seems odd to me

Drummond also shrugged off concerns about exciting big man Mason Wood, who pulled up sore after the Kangaroos' win over Sydney on Sunday.

"I don't think there was anything there," he said.

"It was a couple of guys' first game. The intensity goes through the roof compared to the intraclub so there's a few guys there that would be a little bit sore after their first hit-out.

"Mason is no different so I don't think it's anything serious."

Hmmmmmm

Bizzare Baffling kind of Odd.

 

[Benno_900]

This is pathetic.

Pick 1 is heading our way I suppose.

Yeah, wish we had've picked him up.

I know you're serious so all I can ask is, you gonna bet your house on that?

 

[Jack Bradley]

Still waiting for official word on this 'injury'. What sources do we have?

On Pixel XL using BigFooty.com mobile app

Is on Norths Facebook page

 

[B4Bear]

Going to be a long season.

 

[trooroo4life]

Don't tell me it's the Arden St surface

Seeing the state of it during the pre season I wouldn't be a bit suprised. Will be interesting to see it tomorrow to see what sort of state it's in.

 

[nicko74]

We are doomed!!!!

 

[scottywiper]

We are doomed!!!!

We are s**t out of luck.
Wood has missed a heap of footy now over last 2 seasons...just when we need to pump games into him.

 

[The Dingrel]

That hurts.

So who steps up then?...
Garner would be a good replacement

We have small ( Rat, Turner, Wags, Anderson ) & tall (Maj, Brown, McKay & Waite) forwards - but not many that can play both as Mason does. Maybe Higgins & Thomas - but they'd be in the team anyway.
I'd like to see Zurhar play, as this might be a position he'd be pushing for? Anyone else who can step up? There's the option of playing Wright up there if he's fit - though he looks better down back.[/QUOTE

With wood and garner out and brown highly doubtful, and depending how McKay goes the rest of the pre season, how about a starting fwd setup of:

Thomas, Waite, Higgins,
Daw, Goldy, Hrovat,

Preuss to ruck, or failing that, play the captain forward, JZ strong overhead and ground level.

 

[SMaturin]

Aerodyne = kangatech

[astrovic]

So....it looks like we need to find a replacement, someone with the ability to run all day, take a mark, and the ability to do the look ridiculous...

ENTER LOOGIE

Obviously not good for him or us but I was also enjoying the fact that there was competition this year for spots. That falls away a fair bit if we can't field a team. No idea where Hansen is at but if he's no really ready they look well and truly prepared to play McKay.
