News Injuries/Suspensions 2012

I believe it's a "GWS knee"

I think you mean the GS Knee. GS being General Soreness.

 

[Forward Press]

Kreuzer was out with a 'knee' a couple of weeks ago only to make a miracle recovery on game day.

Nothing on the Essendon board to indicate this is anything but a bit of a rest. He's played every game since Round 1 2011 and is still young. This is a gimme game for Essendon.

source?

I thought Taylor Adams was going to be rested, mate?

EDIT: Oh and I thought the word from the Bulldogs 'camp' was that Hargrave was out?

 

[DTpunter]

Interesting that he only played 84% TOG vs WCE when the game was over at half time and he was avg 90-92% in the 3 games before that. Last week vs Richmond he returned to his usual TOG vs Richmond mainly due to the game being up for grabs.

He hasnt looked himself in the last 2 weeks though.

where did i say any of those? did i say they were 100% going to be out?

He's a 19 year old kid that has played every game possible since he was selected. I'm prepared to cut him some slack on this one.

At the moment there is nothing on the Essendon board about a prolonged rest.

 

[KP78]

My first donut of the year if Hargrave is out and Spurr doesn't make the final team....

I hope the rumour is untrue.

 

[Daz]

Just be quiet. Please.

From what ive heard Adams is quite sore and likely to miss rather than Treloar this week.

Word around the buldogs camp is that Hargrave wont play this week.

Strong whispers

 

[Forward Press]

Just be quiet. Please.

Good luck on that one.

 

[DTpunter]

Just be quiet. Please.

yep your quotes certainly proved that i said Hargrave was not going to play this week . Fair difference from saying that and from saying on the buldogs camp/board they have heard whispers hargrave might not play this week.

Or is there not.

likely is likely. Maybe we have different definitions. I said that yday or day before so he may have improved. But what i was saying is he was sore from playing on the weekend and his rest will come, may that only need to be the bye round we will find out in the future. Not having much of a PS is starting to catch up with him.

 

[Daz]

Good luck on that one.

Don't know why I bothered.

 

[DTpunter]

Not sure who it was but some guy said Spurr wasn't best 22? bloody should have listened

*cough*

Someone here (a Freo supporter) tried to assure me that Nick Suban is way down the pecking order for Spurr's spot in the team due to crap WAFL form when I questioned if Suban might affect Spurr's JS, yet they are both emergencies this week...wonder who will make their way back into the starting 22 first?

Well Suban didn't displace Spurr, did he? Notice also that players like Roberton and Ibbotson made way - clearly Ross Lyon is giving the team a bit of a shake-up.

Silvagni's form warranted a call-up anyway.

 

[Latro]

No Freo supporter thought Crighton was anywhere near making the team

Suban was probably the best performed docker in the WAFL on the weekend. Hes also a live child to Ross except his form has just been that woeful that he had to find some confidence back in the seconds.

Freo now have Mcphee, Suban and Ibbo to come back in.

Did I say that he did? My point is (since you missed it) is that since Spurr & Suban are both emergencies this week, Suban isn't as far down the pecking order behind Spurr, as some Freo fans seem to think.

Wow ground breaking stuff, a guy that has played over 50 games isn't that far off a guy who has played 3. There wouldn't be too many Freo fans around that thought Spurr would be a best 22 player based on his first 3 games. He is around 24-28 IMO.

Actually until you posted that, EVERY Freo poster on this DT board rated Spurr as best 22 and Suban nowhere near getting a game. It's amazing how people can talk themselves into believing that a 2 game rookie is all of a sudden a lock for best 22 purely to justify a shit DT downgrade when said spud is on the bubble.

What did you see of Spurr in the SANFL last year or WAFL this year that makes you think he's a spud?

How dare you question James.

He is a tactical genius, just ask him about his A to Z move .

^ this.
From what I have seen of him, he seems to be able to read the play well. He gets decent stats, was unlucky to be dropped as his two games have been reasonable aand there are worse in the team at this point in time (i.e. JVB ~ in my opinion if there are any fans of his reading)
I don't think he is a spud, I just think you are gloating because you didn't pick up a guy on the bubble who gets dropped next game.

On the spud scale of Gaz to Pfieffer: he is about a 7

You traded in Pfieffer? LOL

Spud may have been a premature call on my part. Rephrase to average/fringe AFL footballer, very good state league player.

No, if I did I would no longer have a team as it would be deleted.

What's H-Mac's status? Goldstein having a field day against Longer. Would be an awesome straight swap for Giles but Hamish will hurt his scoring too much.
