Current injury list

[domus]

That's a lot of words to tell us absolutely nothing, Bucks. Jeez- if his injury is bad, have an operation. If this becomes another time where we say after the fact that we should have operated but hoped he could manage the injury and play again at some stage scenario, I will gnash my teeth. He will probably break down and then have an op over the summer and a delayed start to 2020.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

I don't think they will risk flying him over to Perth even if he is right for next week. Same with Howe.

Hopefully, both back for the GWS game.

If he's right he has to play.

Yep, he could have just directed us to this video

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Yeah by the sounds of that you can book Langers in to see the surgeon in October.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

This might placate the glass half full types among us, but to me it says he is gone for the season.

 

[Vicky Park]

On Langdon, Bucks actually uses the word 'surgery' in this excerpt from The Age today:

The Pies have 16 players on their injury list this season. Commenting on their progress, Buckley said Tom Langdon would not require knee surgery and was ‘‘travelling well’’. ‘‘He won’t be up in the next couple of weeks ... but there’s a possibility of him returning in the back end.’’

So, no surgery but a 'possibility' of getting back this year.

Add Varcoe to the list with a finger injury?

 

[Jen2310]

Yeah. Sounds like just a couple weeks. Doesnt sound like its serious.

 

[atomiser]

Add Varcoe to the list with a finger injury?

That must happened with his only touch of the ball, he was shocking

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Addition by subtraction with Varcoe at the moment. I’d rather have Daicos on the same output or more, and the potential for growth in a young player.

This is a terrible injury update. It says nothing - we already know the type of injuries the players have. Very unprofessional and lazy by the club.

I assume they've given up on Walsh's injury update? Mind you, that was kinda crap too.

Terrible maybe, but I think it’s calculated rather than lazy.

 

[Anzacday]

So Varcoe has a concussed finger?

 

[Kirby]

So Varcoe has a concussed finger?

He was picking his nose at the time

 

[unplugged]

This available and unavailable s**t has to stop. Seriously, how bad is Reid's calf? Even just tell us without trying to put an exact timeline on.

 

[Maggie5]

That list is strange as Daicos missed the second half and Sidebottom was limping badly going into the rooms after the game.

Jen, if you are going to training, can you update on those two please?

I swear i saw Daicos running around in the second half?

No worries, will do.

Calculated for what? Keep us in the dark? But why? What are they trying to hide?

They tried giving us timelines and some assume that they're set in stone so take issue when they're not met. It's a no-winner for the club.

 

[jackcass]

Calculated for what? Keep us in the dark? But why? What are they trying to hide?

To control expectation.

 

[Maggie5]

I swear i saw Daicos running around in the second half?

I always look up at the interchange numbers and saw his name there. Have checked AFL site and according them, spent 59% time on ground.



Maybe they sent him back on for a few moments and I may have missed it?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Expectation management.

Edit: Sorry, just saw jackcass’ summation.
