Fletch: "Finger/knuckle. Might have a crack in his hand"

Sounded like he was confident of playing next match

As always, Fletch was right

Fletcher cleared of major injury

Star Bomber Dustin Fletcher will play against Brisbane in two weeks time after x-rays today cleared him of any break in his hand. Fletcher injured the hand just prior to half-time in the game against Fremantle and he did not return to the field after the main break.

The x-rays revealed Fletcher had severe bruising in the hand and, importantly, that there had been no break to any bones in the hand. Fletcher is now expected to train next week and play against Brisbane. It is important news for the Bombers who will have to deal with the dangerous two-pronged attack of Jonathon Brown and Daniel Bradshaw.

Essendon’s injury situation is improving. Jay Neagle – a late withdrawal from the Fremantle game with ankle soreness – is expected to be fit to play against Brisbane as is Bachar Houli (groin) and Henry Slattery (cheekbone). Darcy Daniher could also return from a back injury.

Heath Hocking is also expected to make his long-awaited return to football following groin surgery. It was supposed to happen last weekend but club medical staff opted to take a conservative approach with him.

Jason Winderlich’s season is over because of a back injury and he underwent surgery today. Medical staff report the operation went to plan. Courtenay Dempsey (shin) could be back in action within two weeks while Jason Johnson is another month away after aggravating a calf injury. A time frame for the return of Scott Gumbleton (collarbone) has not been set.

brilliant news!!

You ripper! Hopefully we can stop B1 and B2 and win the game.

 

[DonMania#5]

Great news, our backline would have struggled without him.

____ing beautiful.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Fantastic news.

 

[CarlosHernandez]

Phew! That's a massive boost!

Great news. Does anyone think Michael is still a chance for the game? Maybe on Bradshaw.

Great news. Does anyone think Michael is still a chance for the game? Maybe on Bradshaw.

It would make sense on the stationary one-on-ones, but on the run, Bradshaw would annihilate him. That said, Michael was best afield in the VFL last weekend, so we could see him get a run.

At least his hand wasn't broken as what was first feared. That's good news for you guys.
As for Mal Michael playing again, not to sure about him playing. We all know that he can play but without sounding like I am writing him off here, I don't know if Matty Knights will actually give him enough game time. He seemed to be on the bench or when on the ground couldn't keep up with his opponent.
