Anyone have the word on these blokes?

Wells- Don't bother giving me a prognosis, I need proof of life.

Tarrant- Done for the year?

Delaney- What is it now?

McMillan- Wasn't is 6-8 weeks?

Hine- Is he even injured? I just assumed since McMahon got a gig as a small defender.

Lake- How is his facial scratch? Did Petrie's windpipe strike one of Lake's fingers?

Wells has been 2-3 since Round 5, we'll be lucky to see him again this season.

Tarrant is 100% done.

Delaney similar to Grima, foot issues are always very unreliable, he'd be thankful for his long term contract.

Macmillan sounds like was brought back to training too early, pulled up sore from training.

Hine? Meh is behind both Firrito and McMahon not sure he'll be on the list next year.

Wells- Taking it slowly. has started running over ground.

Tarrant- Yeah done for the year, AFAIK yet to decide on type of surgery

Delaney- Unsure, ongoing foot/toe issue like Grima

McMillan- Bone is healing slowly apparently, which can't be helped

Hine- Has been playing VFL, suspect they went for McMahon for his experience/leadership against the Premiers

Lake- Has been unsighted since stepping into Clarkson's office.

Bloody hell. So this is career threatening?
Hopefully not but foot injuries are a nightmare, can speak from personal experience here.

Petrie missed two years with foot problems if you recall.

Someone on the VFL thread said they saw JZ in a knee brace and he doesn't expect to be right for next week. So there's another one to add to the list.

Delaney's injury is turf toe, not a foot injury. Don't understand how wells have had 10 weeks off for a foot sprain, unbelievable.

Turf toe is often season ending in the NFL and can recur.
it started last year he had a 5 week patch where it kept him out, that was on his right foot. They had it operated on at the end of last year.

Had soreness in his left toe at the later stages of pre-season he played one NAB practice game and it flared. That kept him out until a few weeks ago, came back played 1/2 a game of footy and it flared up again. now they are deciding on which direction to go with it, from what I understand.

Yep, a cruel injury for some. Cut the bastards off and get on with it:D
