You wouldn't think so. Not too many soft tissue injuries clear in 14 days.Are cox and taberner any chance of round 1, or are these always 3 week injuries?
If Cam's aint too bad he will play and if not I bet we play Jones over Dixon.

Yep, hip injury iirc. 3 weeker.Isn't Dixon injured?
I would love to see some stats on injury/recovery rates and how they compare across the AFL. I'm pretty sure given the way player injuries play out for fans psyche, it feels for most clubs that they have the worst record.I’d love to know the statistics but do we have a higher rate of soft tissue injuries than other clubs (in particular, calf, hamstring and quads)? And are we just s**t out of luck that they all happen to our best players at the same time? Surely Weber has to go.
He's been faking it so he will be all ready for round 1-23.Isn't Dixon injured?
Stop talking to yourself.As proof crumpet face reads BigFooty. this morning he finally mentions questioning Jason Weber following repeat soft tissue injuries.
Hi Haggers!
Not sure about Harley nor about another half of our list, all with soft tissue injuries but the all important JLT series ladder has been released by AFL:

We’re officially doomed...

Well that explains why I feel so despondent. Even St Kilda are right up the top ffs while we wallow at 18th.
It's only JLT, It's only JLT.....must keep repeating this to myself for another 13 days.
I find a broad range of sporting interests helps me with being a Freo fan . There was some cracking moto GP races last night so I could forget about Rushton Park, next week there's F1 to cover the preseason bye, AFC Wimbledon ensures that I have an even spread of teams able to win less often than the Luna cycle and Kayo is helping me to polish up on both my Sumo and chess-boxing knowledge.
By the time the injury list hits 90% of all available players I'm quite likely to have a profound interest in a South Mongolian semipro wrestling league.

Nah I tried that but their injury updates were appalling: Genghis Khan, fall from horse, TBA

I'm assuming Weber reports to Bell doesn't he? Meaning he used to report to Lloyd? Hopefully Bell can get a feather in his cap by fixing our perpetual soft tissue crisis. This isn't an issue for Lyon to deal with, it never has been. I would be throwing my toys out of the cot behind closed doors if I were him.Have faith shallow ones, Freo's shocking run with soft tissue injuries hasn't slipped past Steve Rosich's eagle eye.
In the great man's own words...
SR: As I said, we look at every aspect of our football operations every year. We have had some collision injuries this year, that are pretty hard to avoid and are unfortunate such as Nat Fyfe, Alex Pearce and the Sandilands situation, and we’ve had some soft tissue injuries especially in the lower leg area.
We analyse each and every injury when they occur, whether it’s at training or in a game so we’re doing that and we have a particular focus on our lower leg injuries with our pre-season, our load management and those sorts of things.
We’re talking to experts both nationally and internationally and that work is ongoing, so that we’re on top of it and ensuring that we’re first class in that area.

Ross Lyon is also all over the problem but has no doubt he has the right man in Jason Weber...
"Post the bye, for whatever reason, there's been a higher incidence of some soft-tissue and, I think, predominantly hamstring (injuries)," Lyon said.
"It can be as simple as training up here (at Optus Stadium), so the quality of our weights on our second session on our legs hasn't been the same, so there's been a cost to coming up here."
Freo has been ordinary since the bye, winning two games and losing six by an average of 65 points, and injury woes haven't helped the cause.
Lyon backed high performance manager Jason Weber to put a finger on the issue.
"Jason Weber coached the Wallabies (in strength and conditioning), there's no more qualified person in Australia and he's been with us eight years," Lyon said.
"Without being perfect, I'm sure that they'll drill in and present it up.
