There's no joy for any long term injuries, but a little extra feeling goes out for Setanta.
Not much more to say other than I just hope he gets another couple of years with GWS.

I think it'll depend on who we pick up at the end of this year. Another mature body in the forward line, e.g. Cloke, will probably spell the end for him at GWS.

On a brighter note, I noticed Kurt Aylett is listed at 4 weeks with his ACL - up until now that has been 'indefinite' so he must be getting closer. I liked his work last year before he went down.
Oh, and good to see my man Stevie Clifton getting closer as well.

Thats true, but Fremantle have already pushed a million dollars on the table, and with Brown and Clark setting the market, thats a reasonable price.
Personally, I like o'hAilpin plus Cameron on a four year deal plus Bugg on a four year deal plus Hampton on a four year deal plus Coniglio on a four year deal a lot more than I like Cloke in orange and charcoal, and us hoping we can get the kids re-signed.

The thing is we need Setanta more this year than we will next year. I think it is fair to say his career is on the line.
However going by Twitter everyone in the team loves him, Patton won't be completely ready for another couple of years and there is always room for people who can play multiple positions.
How good a defender is he? Can he play as Cornes-style backman or does he not quite have the footy-nous for that?

Anyone see or hear how Patton went in the magoos?
I'm so excited to see this guy in action.

Re: BigFooty GIANTS injury report - latest: O'hAilpin ruptured l. ACL (season), Brogan r. arm (month
I don't know about that..
We need a experienced forward who can take a contested grab. Cameron and Patton should both be stars, but we will need someone else there while they develop over the next 2 years..
Needing him more this year than next I don't know about. This year we'd love to get some wins but no-one is expecting it. Next year we're going to need the wins much more than this year, so having Setanta then IMHO is absolutely vital.

He is listed to play with UWS this weekend in Canberra against the GCFC 2nds, so that could be a great chance to see him.

Small updates to the injury list with Sumner (foot) and Kennedy (shoulder) out this week. With Shiel, Bugg and Smith being rested, that pair could also just have niggles justifying a week off.
Aylett should be edging closer to a return through the reserves after sustaining an ACL tear last season.
Latest update on Patton is that his knee is feeling good, the main issue now being match fitness after missing the pre-season. They're not setting a timeline on his senior debut with the focus being on his fitness.

Re: BigFooty GIANTS injury report - latest: Sumner (foot) and Kennedy (shoulder) out R8
Liam Sumner is 6-8 weeks with a broken foot, so he has a touch of moonbootitis right now. He was also concussed by an errant boot to the head in the second quarter against the Suns, which is why he was subbed off for Sauce Phillips.
The really funny thing is that he didn't know the foot was broken until a couple of days after the game. He had some pain, but put that down to the usual wear and tear of AFL level footy. It wasn't until he tried to play a round of golf that he discovered that there was something serious painful down there (the weight transference when teeing off was the trigger).
As well as being one tough hombre, Liam is bright & dedicated. I expect him to apply himself really well to his rehab and be back sooner rather than later.

Re: BigFooty GIANTS injury report - latest: Kennedy (shoulder) and Hombsch (quad) test for R9
Adam Kennedy seems to have passed the test on his shoulder and has been named in the 22 to face Essendon.

Folau was a late withdrawal from the Bombers game with a hamstring complaint, and I read this morning that it might keep him out of the Geelong game. That would give him 3 weeks off as there's the bye in round 11 too; they've spoken about giving him have a rest at some point and would likely be factored in.

More updates from that article:
- Folau (hamstring) and Palmer (groin) listed as 1 week
- Kennedy (shoulder) listed as test again after returning against Essendon
- Hombsch (quad) removed from the injury list after being listed as test last week
The players listed as 1-2 weeks (Folau, Palmer, Miles, Clifton, Brogan, Bruce) will benefit from the bye in both grades in round 11 and should be set to return for GWS or UWS in round 12.

The only injury concern coming out of the Geelong game would be Jacob Townsend who took a knock to the jaw and was subbed out at half-time.
As mentioned, with the bye in both grades this week we could have around six players returning from injury for GWS and UWS in round 12: Folau, Palmer, Miles, Clifton, Brogan, Bruce.

Coniglio will miss four matches after undergoing surgery on his thumb.

Real shame as he was starting to look really good.
Just hope the thumb injury doesn't interfere with Cogs being able to sign a contract extension

Probably would have won Rising Star if he hadn't gotten injured.
Oh well. Maybe he still will.
