Injuries to Crouch, LRT, Ablett and ROK?

[Tuco]

Raft of changes coming into last night's game, but I can't seem to find anything concrete about any of these injuries.

Crouch: coverage said he limped off the ground at the reserves? Is his season done?

LRT: Foot injury. Anyone? Anyone?

Ablett: heard he hurt his back late in the Geelong game, but played on with it. Was his dropping just precautionary? Noggy's become quite important, wouldn't want to lose him so close to the finals.

ROK: Not sure if it's anything but the last image on the replay I saw was Ryan limping quite badly onto the ground after the win with an ice pack high on his right knee. Corky?

Not that I'm beginning to fret at all

You're making me fret. They are ALL important to us coming finals time. Espeicially Ablett. Omg, i missed him! I was upset he didn't play yesterday, and you can sense there wasn't much of a spark without him.

I didn't see what ROK was doing. I hope he is alright! =.=

And crouchy? If he is limping i don't he'll return. He's been injured again at the reserves it's a bad sign.

And how did LRT get a foot injury? no wonder i didn't see him...

"Lewie's injury probably affected his game last week and we just didn't want it to get worse and he wouldn't have been able to compete at the level he hopes to, so I think having the weekend off is going to make should he is right for next week."

Paul Roos said that i guess today, so yeah hopefully LRT will be back next week, same with Lukey. I'm not sure about ROK though, when did you see him limping? He did have quite a good game.

Not sure if it's much to worry about with ROK. He must have had a knock to the knee in the last few moments of the game. I saw him with an icepack over his right knee limping quite gingerly back onto the ground to join the team after the win.

I hope he's going to be okay, we definately need him. Same with LRT, Lukey and Crouch.

 

[is2SWaNz]

Yeah, they are vital! But i doubt Crouch can recover, he's been limping over the past 2 reserve games he played. i really want to know what his undisclosed injury is.

 

[Tuco]

okay looks like LRT's injury was minor. Roos says he should be back for the Blues according to this article:

[natlovestheswans]

Now Barry Hall.

 

[is2SWaNz]

The injuries are piling up at the worst of time. hmm...by looking at Crouch's condition, i doubt he'll play in the finals.

LRT seems minor which is good, what about Luke's? I hope he is fine, he plays similar to Adam Goodes [well, sort of]. And Hally??? I hope he is alright, we need him! but Davis can take over him if he can't play

 

[natlovestheswans]

I hope they're all gonna be okay.. Lukey, Lewy and Hall are all huge for us so we definately need them for finals.

 

[is2SWaNz]

Yeah, but people are saying 'no hall=swans lose'. I find that very frustrating... and like to prove a point that we can win without him. But i'd still like him to play!

Lewie and Lukey too. Both important players, with lewie playing one of his best games at the GF

I guess that crouchys season is over. He was always going to find it hard to get into the team anyway. Lrt will be fine ,he will play on Sun, Ablett? back injuries
are very scary stuff,which is why i am worried about Hally. Rok? dunno saw him
with ice pack,on telly,am worried about that one though. If we lose both players
in finals,it severely dents our forward line.But on an optimistic note,we have a
lot of talent in the reserves and im sure a couple of players are ready to stand
up!

I don't know how Ablett injured his back, so i don't knnow the extent of the injury. I'm not even sure how bad his back is at the moment. If LRT is fine, then there's some breathing space

I'm also worried about Hally, but i think he'll play. BUT i rather have him sidelined and rest for a week and recover. Rather than playing with this injury on his back (literally) for the rest of the finals, he should rest. But i know people would skin me alive for saying that! In the end, if he plays it MIGHT become a costy loss if we progress into the finals end. So i'm neutral...

And for ROK, i think he'll be fine. there wasn't news about him and his knee so it shouldn't be much of a concern. And yeah, Crouchy's season is virutally over. He's been carrying that injury for a very long time, he needs a long rest.

Yeah, we have great potential players who can stand up, like Grundy. His been playing like a mediocre senior player, and he is only a debutant for like 1.5 months? And with Nick Davis back in the team, it's pretty good from there.

 

[swantastic]

LRT,Ablett and Rok ok to play this week.Crouch gaaawn for season,and they will rest Bazza this week IMHO.

 

[natlovestheswans]

It sucks about Crouch.

 

[Tuco]

It sucks about Crouch.

There was hardly a more important player during the finals last year that Crouchy. Certainly doesn't look like he'll play a part for us now.

 

[94_Eagles]

Add BBB to that list.

and with the speculation of Barry's fractured wrist? i'll still treat this as a rumour unless there is news about it on the Sydney Website

*edit* Just reading off from RWO, a link:

There's nothing wrong with ROK's knee, he'll be fine. Nothing mentioned about Barry's fractured hand/wrist. Ablett and LRT should be fine. But for Crouchy, it's virtually over...
