I've just heard from a reliable and very credible journalist that Rory Lobb needs a pin put in his shoulder and will miss the rest of the season.
At this point we should give Dixon, Carter, North or Valente a run (Maybe see how O'Reilly goes now he's in the league team). The way the injuries are playing out I can see it already that some of the guys may not be ready for the start of next season due to the ol "precautionary measures", Ballantyne and Sandi will retire. Mundy is great attacking wise but is getting old.
Bite the bullet already and with the pending contract of Langdon and potentially having permanent quad issue with S Hill/if he somehow manages to leave we cant afford to cross our fingers anymore.
That way we can see if these guys can show something at AFL and give us potential depth next year.

I just heard that from Hackdorn.
Is this that new age thing called sarcasm I keep hearing about?
If Lobb is out though then our finals hopes are under serious threat. He was so dynamic against Sydney - rucking, crumbing goals, contested marks.
Simply can't be replaced, so surely we'd throw a debut opportunity to Dixon or Stuart?

It's already at 0%.
Feel for Lobb, poor guy can't take a trick. We wont from discussing our best forward line, because for once we had depth, to having Hogan, Tabs and Lobb all injured for the year. To a lesser degree Cox, but meh.
I think Lobb has been extremely impressive. There are at least 2 games we wouldn’t have won without him IMHO - Brisbane and Sydney. And the way he played thru those last couple of minutes with the shoulder problem, got to and halved a contest, was real grit.

Play the yoof. Dixon should get a run and I would like to see Carter and Watson debut as well before season is done. The last two have been quite consistent.

Pretty sure our finals hopes are all but done regardless. I know we are only a game and % out, but we look so much further than that with the way we are currently playing.
Sturt is not ready I don't think but Dixon finally found some form so not against that at all.
I guess the “reliable and credible” part gave me away?
I find it very difficult to understand the amount and volume of criticism of our coaches given the injuries we've sustained.
Take the 3 best key position players out of any team and they are bound to struggle.

Especially a rebuilding side at that..

- need to take a good look at themselves
Nathan Wilson is apparently requiring a jab in the foot to play.
Fits in with his huge drop in output, which coincides or is part of our 4 or 5 week scheissefest.
If true, park him and play Watson or Carter ASAP.

Might explain that kick out on the full. He played a better game IMO but boy I haven’t seen a kick like that even in Amo’s.

Yeah, he did something decent a few weeks back. Looked ordinary in that game and since, so makes sense.
Does it matter. Season is done, anyone slightly injured should be put on ice. Play the kids.

Well according to Bell, nothing mentioned about surgery. AFL itself stated it as a 'partial dislocation (didn't know you could partially do that, either you do or you don't, no??). Seems a chance to play this w/end.
SHill is not even with main group, so no chance and, frankly, I'm calling his season effectivey done.
Cox "minor setback", recovery pushed back a week.
Nothing changed with Fyfe. Club saying he's tracking well and will make a call in a few days.
See/hear for yourself:

BTW, since when does Bell do the injury reports? ... perhaps changes are afoot ??
Let's hope so

What a worthless injury update. Hope they're fit as i'll be there haha. But at this point may as well put everyone on Ice so they're fit and ready to get injured next season -_-
