injuries and the season hasn't started yet?

[daics cousin]

I am a bit concerned with the number of players either out of the side or are nursing some sort of injury,and the season hasn't even started yet.The following players are on the sidelines at the moment.Didak ,Holland, harry o'brien,Jimmy Clement,Josh Fraser, Bryan (apparently has some niggle) and what's happened to Medhurst,is he training?There's a few senior players that will be missing pre season on this list.Hope the injuries don't start mounting ,before the season begins or we'll be in all sorts of strife.Can anyone put a positive spin on this?

It's January!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are propbably just starting to get into the real competitive work. they haven't been involved in matches since September. Always bound to get some niggly injuries this time of year, when the start full on matcg practice

I repeat, its also January. Plenty of time to recover for the season proper!
GO PIES!

also plenty of time to lose thier fitness base from their injuries and time running out to regain it.

I'd rather them get an injury now then half way through the season.

Didak had a bung knee for yonks and needed surgery. He's up and running.

Dawes was drafted long term. He's up and running.

Bryan was recruited knowing his injury. He's coming along Ok.

Fraser had a minor clean up. No stress.

Jimmy C kicks the ball too far during the regular season. He'll be fine.

O'Brien may have twisted an ankle. A photo of him getting some aid, from some, well, aids (!), isn't exactly a broken leg.

What's wrong with Clogs? He's suspended.

fairly massive over-reaction

from all reports most players are in fine shape, even Mr. Injury Guy Richards is in full training so something is going right !!

Can anyone put a positive spin on this?

Injury is good.

Chill out a bit , you can't control injuries and no-one has put themselves out for the year yet.
Speed is a bad drug , also.

what's the story with Harry? When did this happen?

I actually saw him in Smith St on Saturday as I was driving along. He was wearing shorts, a singlet and a backpack. I of course wasn't checking out his legs/ankles or anything but I didn't get the impression he was bandaged up or anything .... and he certainly wasn't on crutches. In fact my first impression was there goes one fit looking fella. Spewin' I wasn't walking otherwise I would have said hello.

WHats wrong with Bryan?? I thought he was training really well

I think he needed some non-reconstructive surgery on his knee. Something Carlton probably couldn't afford!

He's going well (from reports), but is still being eased in gently.

does this mean you'd like to reassess your predicition of us winning the flag this year?

 

[daics cousin]

Nah i am still hoping we do well.Although with a number of senior players with injuries I tend to wonder how good they will play especially if the do not complete, a full pre season,and if the injury is not nursed well,it may re occur during the season proper.

 

[Aristotel]

There's 15 other sides with basically the same concerns at this time of year.

 

[Chase the Ace]

Yes, I feel the season is over. We have no hope. Our injury list is worse than in 2005. What shall we do, what shall we do.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Do I smell the scent of sarcasm

That sounds like Murray

Yep, there's no hope for Collingwood, no need to book finals plans folks.

I don't think too many people around here haven't worked out that I am his brother

Course you weren't.

Pre-season injuries suck.

Dont worry, just have faith that the boys will all get over their injury's as quick as they can and will be back playing football in no time at all.
