De Goey going to Germany

[My Tilly]

Wouldn’t risk him. They showed on Friday night it doesn’t break them to lose a single player like him. Rather have 22 players you’re confident will be their in the last quarter.

I wonder if Wayne Carey and Tim Watson still believe DeGoey is more important to Collingwood than Grundy

Yeh. clueless blokes they are. he's probably the 4th most important after Moore and Pendlebury

 

[timokane]

The professor said De Goey will play prelim

Nowhere near it. Their forward line has a lot of different options and threats. Elliott is playing well and Stephenson is back. They can cover him as they showed on Friday.

Going into a GF off one quarter of footy in 8 weeks and a suspect recurring hammy? Massive risk.

Yeh, history is the best educator and when it comes to this particular sport, the risk very rarely pays off.

Yeah - I said to just play him.

Chris Scott obviously did

Tomorrow De Goey is going to Germany to see world leading hamstring professor and be back in time for the prelim

I hear he's seeing Dr Serge Inn....

 

[Ando727]

Germany, eh? Shades of Max Rooke in 2007. They're mixing up the calf-blood as we speak...

 

[Percel]

 

[Linda Lovelace]

yeh I agree. He's a gamechanger, especially in a GF.

I think Richmond will win the flag regardless, and De Goey is a great player, but this is overly dramatic.

It's not like he is Leigh Matthews or Michael Voss and structurally his loss impacts us less than if he played for pretty much any other side.

 

[Greggy]

There’s nothing better for a hamstring than 40+ hours in an airplane.

When and where will the AFL conduct a drug test? In Germany or back in Australia?

Dr Bruce Reid will be ensuring all is legit

 

[Cdog71]

Didn’t Moore go and see this bloke last year?

 

[Damon_3388]

When and where will the AFL conduct a drug test? In Germany or back in Australia?

In Amsterdam on a stopover, around 3am.

 

[Rotayjay]

I'd be curious to know what a world-leading expert can actually do to make a soft tissue injury heal quicker. Hopefully the flight itself doesn't exacerbate the issues.

De Goey is that good I'd spend a few grand desperately trying to get him up for a final as well.

 

[Tandy]

He will play. Put him in the goal square on one leg. He'll still kick 2-3

 

[Hawk_francais]

Eis, zwanzig Minuten aufgetragen, dann zwanzig Minuten weg.

 

[Billy ray]

Geez i knew theAFL wants to expand but i thought the focus was on Tassie. Didn’t even know Germany had a team

 

[StillAtLarge]

[Greggy]

The biggest issue for him is going to be his explosive speed off the mark, if he’s not 100% the intensity of a GF will be too high risk, and would the Pies risk losing a man in the first minute of a GF?

 

[vikingpimp]

Oktoberfest starts in a week and a half, not sure he'll make it back till after the Granny

 

[romeohwho]

Good luck to him-hope it works- finals are more to fun to watch with players like him in them. Dr in Germany fixed Max Rooke’s hammy.
