I know this isnt the thread but I hope our club is heavily into Mitch Mcgovern and Lecca can retire"Mark LeCras won't play this week; he's got a glute or hip injury" - Kim Hagdorn on 6PR this morning..
**** sake, all but confirms a new three year deal for Lecca doesn't it?

LeCras (hip) 1 week - new
Hurn (concussion/hamstring) 1 week - new
Nelson (hamstring) 1-2 weeks - same
Venables (toe) 1-2 weeks - same
Tunbridge* (knee) 2 weeks - same
Rioli (hamstring) 2 weeks - down from 3-4 weeks
Waterman (foot) 2 weeks - down from 3-4 weeks
Bayok* (hamstring) 2-3 weeks - new
Naitanui (knee) Late 2017 season - same
Allen (foot) Season - same
Watermans not injured, he is just doing a mini preseason.Rioli & Waterman seem to be making progress. Given our history, I don't believe it.

Confirms what we've probably known would be the case for a while now
Nicnat very unlikely to play this year
This might be a controversial view but I'd play him in the WAFL reserves if fit. Assuming there is no increased chance of re-injuring the knee, I'd rather he at least find some touch again before the season is out. it would do him some good for next season, I'm not sure if wrapping him up in cotton wool when he can actually play would necessarily be beneficial. The longer he goes without running and handling/kicking a ball in a competitive environment the harder he will find it to regain his touch and the WAFL reserves wouldn't be as physically demanding as an AFL game.
Anyway, just a thought, it will probably be disagreed with widely.
What is Allens foot injury that's going to keep him out all season?Kennedy (calf) 1 week

Brown seemed to be the exception - he didn't appear to have the same mental scars that EMac had. I guess because he had been through it before and wasn't so apprehensive.Depends heavily on his training form and how we finish the year, but Im all for it. Would be unwise to do what we did with Emac again. These big injuries leave mental scars long after the wound is healed. If they dont have confidence in it they shouldnt be played.
Think I heard where both Nelson and Venables have had setbacks?LeCras and Hurn are new additions to the list from last week as is Bayok even though he was injured with Partingtons Disease, at least they've acknowledged his existence this week though
Nelson, Venables and Tunbridge are stuck in Groundhog Day whilst JK is going back in time after failing his test presumably
Rioli and Waterman have moved forward so that's some consolation
Getting very close to the point where Naitanui has a line put through his name and he joins Allen as out for the season
Vozzo said both have had their training pulled back. On Monday Nelson was kicking a footy around with Bayok and Rioli for around ten minutes while the rest of the group was stretchingThink I heard where both Nelson and Venables have had setbacks?
Navicular injury I believeWhat is Allens foot injury that's going to keep him out all season?
I'd love to see Naitanui at WAFL reserves level. Would be absolute gold. Against like.. South Freo or something
