but you're all going to Blacktown so that point remains moot, right? Right??

Re: NAB Cup injury list

It's the principle that pisses me off though. Even worse than the felaffel - I mean kerfuffel - a few years back when they advertised for the EF against NM AFTER the game.

Re: NAB Cup injury list

I'm not going. Bit far from Adelaide. Annoying I can't watch the game on FTA at all, even on delay. Can't afford Foxtel either. Guess my only hope now is to try and see if there are any pubs around here showing it on the big screen.

Re: NAB Cup injury list

I see B2 has been listed as INDEFINITE!

Re: NAB Cup injury list

C. Bolton - still indefinite
Mumford - 1 week from 1-2 weeks
Bradshaw - 2 weeks from 3-4 weeks
Heath - 9-11 weeks from 10-14 weeks
White - Test from 1-2 weeks
Kennelly - 3 weeks from 5 weeks
Smith - 1 week from 1-2 weeks
Meredith - Test (new)
LRT - 2-3 weeks still
Spanger - 2-3 weeks from 2 weeks

So some good news from this list with Mumford, Bradshaw, Heath, Tadhg, Jesse, Smith all seemingly progressing well with their respective injuries.

LRT is the really concerning one for me (Craig playing this year will be a bonus).

Re: NAB Cup injury list

I am really begining to worry that Craig Bolton's injury is not the type of injury that he will ever fully recover from.

Seems pretty much like the same injury list at the end of last season for a few, whats up doc?

Re: NAB Cup injury list

I doubt if he will play again and i hate to say that.

Re: NAB Cup injury list

Yeh I must say I'm beginning to think the same way. Others have said it for a while and I've been trying as hard as possible to not accept that, but his constant indefinite status really isn't a good sign.

Would be tragic for his career to be stuck on 199 games but also more importantly to have been cut down while he was still in his prime.

Always though he was a guy who could play into his mid 30's, so durable has he been. But this is really looking dire now.

Any news, surfer?

Re: NAB Cup injury list

The thing that pisses me off is that Bolton was clearly playing injured before he really injured himself last year. If he was allowed to recover instead of continuing to play he might not be in this current situation.

Correct

Re: NAB Cup injury list

Correct

Over the past 5 years the Swans do have a history of playing injured guys for a large portion of the season. I really do think that this is a mistake as not only does it increase the chance of further injury but it also isn't a good look when the coach is essentially saying that O'Keefe running on 60% of his usual abilities is better than any of our players in the reserves.

Honestly i would rather a young player get some good game time than watching one of our senior players hobble about while clearly injured for half the season.

Re: NAB Cup injury list

I would think the player is probably mostly responsible playing through the injury and not being totally honest about it. A lengthy stint due to injury can mean the end to a lot of players careers and they probably have a self pressure to keep their spot at all costs.

I would assume most players carry something into a game.

All that said we have made errors on some and Craig Seems to be the obvious example.

Johnny Stevens got some broken ribs coming to the last handful of games of the season and he was never seen again in the red and white even though he was a handy speedster.

While Craig Bolton (Achilles) was considered the only Swan doubtful for round one, Longmire said both Kennelly and Roberts-Thomson have been pencilled in to play in three weeks, the week before round one, meaning it would be a very close call for the season opener.

The week before round 1 doesn't actually have an official NAB Challenge match, but the club has organised a hitout against the Sydney AFL side East Coast Eagles. I highly doubt that both of them but especially LRT, who has missed so much football, will be ready by just playing this game. The lessened interchange won't help their cause either, with less time to rest underdone players on the bench throughout the game.

The good thing is that Melbourne have a small forward line so we don't really need LRT and Bolton in that game as Grundy and Richards will be enough.

Re: NAB Cup injury list

List just keeps getting longer. I really hate how bad the swans are when it comes to injury time frames. How many times did we see Bradshaw 3-4 weeks away across the season, same with Bolton and Seaby. The formula should be looking at the initial time frame which they give us for recovery, double it, and it'll be about right.

It's ridiculous, and I don't know if it's just bad management or that the injuries are worse than our medicos first thought, but it's frustrating to see.

I could be jumping to conclusions but it seems like our medical staff allow players to have a run even if they're about 80% fit and then we opt for surgery etc when the problem gets out of hand. Craig Bolton was handled very badly imo and I can't remember the last time I saw an injury update without the names Bradshaw and Roberts-Thompson.

Now we're hit with the news of Bird's stress fractures and how he's going to be on modified training. Did Bird already have surgery or is this another medical failure on our part?

Re: NAB Cup injury list

Goddamit Spang, get uninjured already so you can dominate like you were born to.

(If Spang gets games this year, I may be over here being overly passionate for him, the man is a legend.)
