Injuries

[BoundforGlory]

We are starting to get a few injuries now, but if we get a few weekd injury free, then we will be in good shape. Injuries play a big part in how teams perform, so I think the next few weeks are VITAL!

Bucks- 2 weeks
Didak- test
Bryan- 1 Week
Johnson- test or 1 week
Lonie- 1 to 2 weeks (I couldnt careless if he stayed there all year!)
Holland- 4 weeks
Rusling- season
Dawes- season
Anthony-season

If we can get through Tigers & port injury free that will be a huge bonus! We also need to win at least one of these games if not both!

If we are 3 & 1 after roung 4, we will have bucks & didak ready to step up, holland will be only 2 weeks away & have have a pretty clean injurt sheet.

THE NEXT TWO WEEKS ARE OUR SEASON & VERY VERY IMPORTANT!

Win games and avoid injuries.... it's just radical enough to work

 

[WakeUpPies]

I have heard that while Holland IS on a restricted program due to his delayed start to the season, he has also been rested a bit in training due to an achiles problem, one he seemed to have a bit last year too.

 

[Stakerz]

Hopefully Johnson and Didak are right for this round

What are you on, we could lose the next 6 and still make the finals. The next 2 weeks are going to be interesting but definately not our season hanging on it.

It is the Essendon game, lose to them I will be a shattered man with no expectations, but I guess it means nothing in the context of the whole season.

I still can't believe we missed out on the top four by percentage last year. We lost to Essendon though. On that performance, alone, I knew we were going to make up the numbers.

 

[WakeUpPies]

Essendon will rape collingwood, i hope it doesnt happen but it probley will

i dont think our backs can stop the top tier fowards they have, Lloyd and Lucas will probally both kick a bag and we will be r*ped

of couse hopefully we win and hopefully the bats helps us out

What Richmond wasn't a wake up call? Essendon just confirmed my worst expectations. I was that shattered after Richmond I went out and celerbrated with some Tigers supporters!

looks like 2005 all over again

 

[JOELY]

to be honest what we need is another round of good draft picks. i'm looking for a flag in the future and i feel we need to load up to compete with some of the other teams who have freeloaded young stars for the last few years. a win would be nice as well, though.

I'd go along with Dawes and Rusling out for the whole season despite what's listed down. Dawes has been out for so long after a majo reco and will play Willi as expected when he's ready. He would be an absolute god if he managed to get fit, find form and to be picked to play a senior game all in his 1st year. Nothing against Chris at all ....it's just a very big ask for any kid.

Rusling I fear might have done his dash this too for the season. So many shoulder problems they might give extra consideration in healing so he doesn't do it again (fingers crossed).

Johnson --- out

[spartan-magpie]
