Injury List

[Selgae]

Best injury list in the league, barring Waters there should be a full squad to choose from this week.

Credit to the players and staff for not pushing too hard.

Too bad we're shit.

But... but... why are we so shit?

 

[MWPP]

Yep, the truth (of being terrible despite this ) hurts. We were overdue for a kind year re: injuries, but bad timing to get the luck and/or for the medical and training staff to finally get their act together too. This would have been handy in other years eg 2012 and 2007

 

[kranky al]

Heart transplants on the cards for a lot of the players

heart transplant? They need some ****ing balls. Give them a sex change.

 

[Adzam]

Yeah credit to the players for taking it easy....keep up he good work because it's obviously working great so far.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

thats whats making our losses worse. we have arguably the fittest team in the league yet we cant ****en win games.

 

[Marlin01]

There are a number of variables determining why we are shit atm. Fitness levels could be a factor. At the beginning of the season, I was crying out for the club to do whatever is necessary to reduce our injury list. Perhaps, they've overcompensated and our fitness is now suffering. That's something that can be addressed next preseason, but at least it appears they have identified the problem and have tried to correct it.

If only there was a 150 page thread analyzing our primary midfielder.

 

[WereFlyingHigh4]

Yeo out for 5-7 weeks and Scooter could be gone for the season. Yeo is a huge loss, been immense in the last month in the middle.

 

[Keys]

Its been the way this year - just as we get a full squad together we lose a couple more key players

Our injury run has been better than quite a few other teams though so we shouldn't complain too much

 

[ChampRevesby]

Yeo is the only noticeable loss at the moment. I would say the same about Shuey but he has been very ordinary of late.

 

[dajesmac]

Well done on starting this thread, you are directly to blame!

The Eagles are taking a "wait and see" approach with Selwood's injury.

"We're still making decisions on Scott," Eagles coach Adam Simpson told Perth radio station 6PR.

"He's going to need a clean-out at some stage. We're just trying to figure out when the best time is.

"We're quite depleted in some areas in our mids, so we're still assessing that."

Depleted in our mids? As it stands, Yeo is the only player who sometimes plays in the midfield that will be missing. If the Eagles are willing to play Selwood through pain and risk of further damage, it is a terrible evaluation of our current midfield.

I think he is referring to our midfield depth.

Scott Selwood has been confirmed that he will have surgery and will miss 10-12 weeks. We can upgrade someone so i hope we upgrade Mgninnnes.

Bad news for Scott but yeah exciting to see Maginness if he gets upgraded .

Pretty much. Powell had been playing with a shoulder injury and Barrass a groin.

We're clearly tanking.

We're clearly tanking.

That's it. The cue's in the rack.

 

[ZergMinion]

Maginness surely a shot at getting elevated now with Barrass and Selwood both potentials for the LTI list.

Is Sinclair currently elevated for Waters? I forget who he got elevated for in those first few games.

Yep. He was originally elevated for Barrass, then Waters after Barrass returned.
