Injury Minor knee Surgery for Lachie Henderson-timeframe TBA

[Jhye Clark 13]

Wouldn't have happened if Scott left him in his rightful defensive position.

 

[Willo_]

All of a sudden the round 23 bye sounds great..

 

[Hoooops]

Well, this makes selection easier if he won't be back in time. Remember only two of Taylor, Lonergan and Henderson have featured in each of the wins over the Crows this season.

 

[year of the cat]

From a glass half full perspective, at least he won't do an ACL this weekend.




(I'll see myself out of this thread)

Damn saw the ch7 news report talking of star Cat injury and assumed/hoped was Mitch Clarke

When I saw it live I immediately thought "what's he hiding?" Now I know!

 

[wcadams88]

I was out running within a week of mine and back playing footy no medications help with the recovery either unfortunately.

Essentially 16 days recovery should be right

 

[Munich]

Well, *.

Hopefully he makes a swift recovery.

Bit harsh. What has this bloke ever done to deserve people wishing injury on him?

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

with the bye, he'll have two weeks off.

 

[strauchnyy]

If he is unable to return this is a HUGE loss. Bigger than if Taylor were out.

A loss that could be material enough to go from potential flag winner to zero chance.

 

[Mahlepi]

Club is doing a Balme on this one

 

[The Casey Cat]

****.

Back in time for Prelims?

I would think that is what we're hoping for ideally.

 

[HaroLad]

I would think that is what we're hoping for ideally.

Good, won't be bothered if he only misses the game against Melbourne or the qualifing final.

This, exactly. He sits only behind Selwood and Danger in terms of importance to team success. * this s**t.

Guess that's solves our to big in the back line problem..

I guess it's a chance to see the improvement that is claimed will come from having a shorter back line with more run.

You think he is goneski for the year?
Arthroscopy can be returned from in a couple of weeks dependent on the damage from what I've heard

 

[The Casey Cat]

Interesting for this week, with Lonergan potentially missing as well

Not ideal but we still have enough there with Taylor and Kolo taking big players and Mackie perhaps playing on a bigger player than has this year and Blicavs there to throw back.

We have seen that improvement since we have been rotating 1 of the four talls out since Henderson was concussed.

Id say smith is more important

 

[Hoooops]

Id say smith is more important

Regarding team setup, there are positive ways of looking at the Henderson injury. If Smith got injured, it would be game over.

 

[Gaz_Brownlow]

Didnt Vardy only miss a week last year with a similar clean up? Dont believe it would be too bad.....would suggest they rolled the dice in an effort to get back for first QF.

If it really required a lengthy surgical option for repair I would have thought they would try and manage for finals and then address post season.
