McPharlin update

[rgauci]

purely for selfish reasons, I'm not in an area to receive local media. Any updates....was it precautionary or an injury??

 

[YelloMit]

Precautionary. Probably sore, but nothing major.

 

[Deathly]

Well he probably was never meant to play this game if it wasn't for Dawson so I don't know why people are panicking.

 

[Persoog]

radio just confirming it was purely precautionary. Elvis wanted to go back on but orders came from above.....

 

[PintofPale]

afl.com.au is reporting subbed off with a calf problem.

 

[rgauci]

Ross Lyon via press conference confirms it was a cork and a bit of tightness.

 

[PintofPale]

Good to hear. afl.com report probably informed by Doc Larkins

 

[purplerunsdeep]

Ross never tells the truth re: injuries

 

[leeloo]

Corked calf via Ross' post match.

Ross never tells the truth re: injuries

Came here to post this. Especially before a big game.

 

[Bicco]

Watched him walk off and there was no limp.

 

[malpaso]

He had no bandaging or ice on it after the game walking around and was in a jovial mood etc. Purely precautionary.

 

[Freodoc]

Hope so....

 

[purplerunsdeep]

Ross presser he was hiding it a little - I think there is something little there - maybe a week or two - great opp to freshen him up regardless

Also noted a few boys were tight due to the harder ground

 

[StingBitten]

If needs a week will be desperate for Johnson return next week.

 

[purplerunsdeep]

Channel eagle saying he will miss

Lol. heck they're a bunch of dickheads.

 

[Taylor]

He won't even get a scan until tomorrow. They don't have any idea.

They like to report hopeful stories, and they sure hope he is injured.

Did they mention deBoer getting suspended for bumping Reiwoldt?

 

[Allikat]

Can confirm Luke was walking around fine after the game. Probably just precautionary but I wouldn't be surprised if we rest him next week to make sure he's 100% for finals

 

[purplerunsdeep]

We have johno back next week - SOS to go again - Macca and Dawson available the following plus can swing Pearce down there anytime. We're goin ok

 

[stax on the mull]

2 weeks off I reckon. One week to rest, and one week to work on his kicking efficiency. Johnson, Silvagni and Dawson to cover opposition talls in the next couple of games + A Pearce when needed. Slight risk next week with the Silvagni and Johnson both being a bit underdone as the key defenders and Kennedy being the key match up, but either Sutcliffe or Ibboston should be able to cover Darling.

 

[beetz]

Doc Larkins said that he'll probably have both arms amputated.

Still a better mark than schofield
