Dale Thomas

A Collingwood 2 weeks is a 6 week injury.

Can anyone report if Dale trains this week ????

Many people used the internet to work out the time required for Pendles injury to heal, and Doc Larkins even estimated 6 weeks. The clubs 'two weeks' was way off the mark. There have been many occasions that the club have underestimated the recovery time of a player by quite a bit, this year and in previous years. So, in short, I think your defence of the club is wrong.

I love it - there were people jumping all over Doc Larkins, saying he was a joke of a medical professional etc, because he said a longer time to recover than the 2 weeks Walshy said...

I hope those guys re-read their posts.

I find it amusing that people actually believe that the club underestimates recoveries. I would have thought it was always pretty obvious that the club goes out of its way to misinform for its own purposes. When they said Pendles would be 2 weeks I thought it was quite hilarious. No doubt I hoped they were right and to some extent I was willing myself to believe it but who ever heard of a 2 week recovery for a broken leg? People were jumping all over the speculation about Didak's early return and suggesting he would have to have been related to Lazarus but yet failed to see that it was the most obvious piece of misinformation yet.

I take nothing from the club's announcement that Daisy will be fine nor do I discount it just as last week I was pretty much ready to believe that Reid would not come up because of his obvious discomfort late in the game the week before and despite virtually nobody even discussing it. This is just the way the club believes it can best handle speculation about selection and I for one am all for it. It might amount to a tiny little edge to keep opposition teams guessing and force them to consider more possibilities than would otherwise be the case but to me it shows extreme perfectionism to extract whatever advantage the club can from every single thing they do.

If we take a worse case scenario ...

Daisy doesn't play
Williams is out for the season
Pendles still isn't quite right

... with the way our season is going, it's looking like Shae Mac is going to get a game in the midfield.

Once again collingwood are setting up its supporters for extreme disappointment...

Totally agreed. Thomas won't play.

Apparently just jogged laps today at training with Swanny.
