Luke Ball - Hamstring?

[bubblegoose]

When he is being carried off you can see his hammy is hanging around his knee.

You have a phd?

Tuck shop lady legs - if he comes out this week ... he has to change his name by deed poll!

 

[bubblegoose]

Thats the team song you do not get to see because of ch.7 cutting off to the news

Ch7 should be fined when this happens! Damaging the brand or something ... anything!

 

[The Punter]

The Casey BOG was the other Clarke, Raphael.

Even if it is a corkie, the six day break doesn't augur well for him playing next week. I'd expect him out.

Just at a guess...

In: Hudghton, Armitage
Out: Eddy, Ball

 

[borderbarry]

Interpol, that was Raf Clarke that was BOG, not X.
It would be Geary dropped before Eddy, surely.

 

[Squizz]

I would have thought Kosi's knee would have done the most damage. Would be a bad corky though, so could still be out (even if not a hammy).

 

[Persevering Saint]

When it comes to injuries, I'm sorry, but I just don't believe Rossco as far as I can throw him. Too many "oh, they're fine" followed by months off for mine (Baker, X, etc). I'll believe it when he's named next week - no, I'll believe it when the ball is bounced and he's standing by the Centre Square.

 

[_Interpol_]

Oh, it was Raph B.O.G, my bad guys.

I'd like 3-4 more good ones from him before he is back tho.

Bally will play, did not have ice on him leg after the game, and with all the smokescreens you people are claimign rossy does, i doubt they would put diversion ahead of bally's fitness - if the hammy was done, there would have been ice on it, no doubt.

Tough as nails, will play, corkie or not.

IN: Max
Out: Gilbert - desperately needs to find some form in the VFL..

And while Mini and Dempster are doing well, Birss won't be getting a game - this is a good problem to have people.

 

[bubblegoose]

Just heard end of an SEN report think they said - Bally has a medium level hamstring strain - may be 3 weeks(?)

Will need to confirm

 

[HoldenMCaulfield]

three weeks...

Good news, looked like it could have been a lot LOT worse. Ball will be back for finals (should we make them) anyway so that's something. Plus being as tough as he is I wouldn't be surprised to see him back earlier.

 

[CHBench]

Well that's somewhat good news, it definatley looked a lot more serious. But now we wait for the turds at the MRP.

Surely we have nothing to answer for with the MRP???

Yes they said 3 weeks.

 

[Persevering Saint]

Is this Birss' big moment, or are we going to see one of the Casey U/11 get a spot before him?

 

[CHBench]

Club said they are sweating on a few incidents. I didn't notice any. But a few could arise from before the bounce.

 

[Persevering Saint]

Isn't it a misdemeanor to wear red and white onto a football ground, if you have some black thrown in, according to the AFL?

 

[TassieSaint]

He shat all over Shaw last time, absolutely dominated him. If he doesn't get a call up I think we can confirm that sometime between the last Collingwood game and the upcoming one Birss was somehow responsible for the death of one of Ross's loved ones.

[L_J_T]

Good news that Lukey Ball has only got a minor hamstring strain, I thought for sure he done a Matthew Lloyd with that horrible collision with Kosi...good that it isn't though because he is a damn important player in your side and you will need him come finals time.

 

[Persevering Saint]

Yeah, thanks for that - best of luck for the rest of the year for your mob too. I'd love us to finish 5th and take you guys on at 8th - it'd be a ripper of a game.

I thought that Gilbert was OK. Did not get too many possesions but played a reasonable spoiling role. I thought he contributed at least as much to the defence as Blake , and did better than Goddard.

being tough makes hamstrings heal quicker?

 

[bubblegoose]

Sure, look at Harves!

 

[TassieSaint]

being tough makes hamstrings heal quicker?

Nah, but it seems to make players return from injury quicker. I'm no doctor, but how many times has Harves been supposed to miss weeks only to make himself available to play earlier than expected and play through injury. Ball seems much the same, I remember earlier in the year he was in a moonboot on Thursday training but still played on the weekend. I guess what I'm trying to say is I wouldn't be surprised to see him return earlier than expected and play through general soreness whilst your average player wouldn't

 

[Persevering Saint]

And "average player" = Aaron Fiora? (Not putting words in your mouth, Tas, just thought I'd ask the general group...)
