Hombsch has had what? hip surgery every single off season? Kid probably has osteoarthritis in his hips. Gonna be tough for him to make 30 at this rate.

Shame he's out of finals but as mentioned he hasn't had a great year. Very worrying for the rest of his career though. Thank * Clurey has stepped up and of late Doooogz
Yeah definitely agree that since 2014 these hip issues have really hampered him. He's lost a yard and lost agility and it's shown in his form. If we were heartless we'd trade him whilst he still has some trade value.
Kinda sad news. These injuries may end his AFL career.

Nah, let's have some faith. We've just re-signed him so our medicos believe he can make it. Just look at how Polly has fared post navicular.
In all seriousness, We wouldn't have just re signed him if he was that badly injured.
They only gave him 2 because they were concerned that he might not have much more to give after that.
It was only a bit of bone floating in his hip. 6 week recovery to start running again.

They're only giving 2 or at the most 3 years to all re-signings now. He had an average year after being stalwart of our back line previously. hence the 2.
Bloody hell Burgo...
Goes to Arsenal - they turn to poo.
Comes back for the Finals - Hombsch out for the year! Terrible form...
Hoping that you recover, rehab and come back well, Jack!

The prognosis for a bit of floating bone in a hip joint is usually very good providing it has been caught before it does any damage to the cartilage. It can be treated with minimal invasive arthroscopic surgery. I can't think of any AFL players whose career has been ended by this.

Reads well but I will be absolutely amazed if Krak makes a full recovery from a hamstring injury in two weeks.
I reckon it would have to be a very minor strain for him to be available for the granny.
Such an amazing injury list, too bad having no injuries killed our season.
Ken needs to learn that the 'old faithful' have never been faithful to him.
I noticed Krak getting his hammy rubbed down quite a lot before and during the game, more than players usually get. It wouldn't surprise me if he experienced tightness before the game started and aggravated it.

Lol the first three are literally "delisting related tightness"

Broadbent having ankle surgery tomorrow according to Lee Gaskin on Twitter.
Was a shell of his former self after that injury, totally killed his season.

Broadbent could explore his options if the club were keen. I doubt it though. SA boy would be unlikely to move in haste

On the 5AA interview with Ken, KH said that the surgery for Broadbent is more of an exploratory thing and to clean it out (i.e. a scope).
He's solid depth. If someone offered a middle of the road 2nd rounder you'd have to consider it.
I'm sure we can squeeze him into some role that he's not suited to.

It's also probably not accurate.
Wines will definitely get work done on his knee, Wingard likely on his ankle. Dixon will probably have his usual ankle clean up too.
