News Injuries/Suspensions 2012

[JDWCE]

Also word McEvoy is out. Cant be stuffed looking up a source though

 

[Ess_don]

Broughts slid into a player, eyes on the ball and protected it. Almost identical to the Lindsay Thomas one, really shouldnt have anything to worry about..

Cheers for the donut because of McEvoy St Kilda you *****

 

[Latro]

McEvoy is out for 4 to 6 weeks with the knee injury.

McEvoy out 4-6 weeks

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Goodes Hamstring... Hope it's not too bad. Really don't have any cover from my rookie forwards at the moment.

 

[Spuddage]

On fanfooty Broughton has a tv next to him (meaning he could get cited for those that don't know), anyone know what he did/how bad it was?

Who knows with the mrp!!
Looked fine to me though

 

[flackjack]

Goodes to miss 6 weeks after tearing his quad. I don't have him at but there would've been a few who selected due to him traditionally being a injury free player.

[JDWCE]

Probably another 2 weeks or so to build his fitness so realistically 6 - 8. Devastating for Sydney

2 hours of trade planning this morning now down the train.

McEvoy out 4-6 weeks

Kruezer should dominate (if he plays next week) against whoever else the Saints have to play ruck.

I know... Rhys Stanley, Kosi, Jason Blake..... shudder.
Probably best for Stanley to run around and try to get in his way.

Stanley's a good young player, might go ok with a bit of added responsibility. Will be good for his long term future/development to play first ruck for a month or 2.

From a DT perspective he'll probably get a bit more of it.

 

[entourage]

Greg Broughton is challenging his charge, when I saw it, like the others (thanks for the replies btw!) it looked nothing. But you never know with the MRP, will be watching intently tonight.

Take the reprimand FFS!

 

[entourage]

Agreed James, he won't get off, not after the Rohan fiasco.

However, looking at it again, it really is soft. He has eyes for the ball and the ball only-Swallow came from out of his sight and was well and truly to the ball second.

Disgraceful decision. Fingers crossed.

I just watched the interview with the MRP guy on afl.com.au and am now convinced that the AFL will make an example out of Broughts because they sent a memo out to all clubs last week about this very thing. If you slide into the ball, it is presumed that you may injure an opponent whether you meant to or not.

FWIW, It looked like to me that Broughton did not see him as Swallow came in from the side, if not slightly behind him. But this may not save Broughts, as they are basically saying, if you slide in and someone gets injured as a result, you will get weeks because we warned you before hand...

 

[Eons]

What a d***head, why would you challenge a reprimand?

He'll get a week now, lucky to get a reprimand in the first place.

Because he is innocent.

 

[Forward Press]

That was a stupid challenge - I'd like a Dockers fan to explain how they would have weaseled out of that one rather than simply comparing it to the Linsday Thomas incident.

 

[Rookie]

Any news on Treloar? I'm happy to carry him for a few weeks as I have forward line cover.

 

[Lemma]

I thought Treloar, along with J Cameron, as just rested

not even a fremantle supporter but I can even tell you that he should have got nothing for it.

firstly, his intent was to go for the footy with his eyes on the ball the whole time, thats what is shown on the replay, secondly it wasn't a slide tackle as he dropped his knees rather than going in with the feet, even more so there isnt even a rule regarding slide tackles,- coming from the chairman.

not only that..but only after broughton had the ball in his hands the contact was made from his knee to swallows ankle. even the AFL agreed that it was an 'unfortunate accident'. going even further - Broughton was rewarded with the free kick! it was unfortunate that swallow injured his ankle (which should have nothing to do with the suspension anway) but if it was so bad, why did he play on?

its AFL not soccer or netball. the MRP need to open their eyes otherwise they will have to deal with this every single week

 

[JDWCE]

Broughts got off
