I reckon you blokes will roll us, we are in a form slump bordering on bottom 4 material.

we are not in a form slump and bordering on bottom 4 material

It would have been ruptured initially. It's not uncommon to tear your ACL and the hamstrings spasm to the point you can still run in a straight line and have a negative Lachman's. Player's not sure, medicos can't be sure, nothing to lose so the player goes back out and as soon as they need to change direction quickly they fall over. It's a non-story.

Yeah I recall this line of reasoning used in the immediate aftermath of Bally doing his knee and I still don't agree with it.

Sending an injured player back on can only lead to 2 things- make no difference whatsoever or worsen the injuries.
It can not improve it.
And in light of the multitude of our players missing considerable amount of games after being sent back on, be it direct correlation or not, I'd prefer if we started to err on the side of caution.

Glad Blair has been named on the ball, hopefully he takes that in and under role to replace Adams, been a long time he has played that role solely in a game and I think he will surprise quite a few on here without short memories how well he can actually do it.

 

[JackoSpades]

Adams out

 

[jackcass]

And let's not forget Bally being sent back on only to wreck his knee completely.

Nothing to see here guys, just bad luck..

Every team does exactly the same thing. They do the standard tests and make a decision based on the on the outcomes of the testing. Only way to improve that process is on-site imaging equipment. So yes, just bad luck.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good old fashion Collingwood FC bashing. PieBeast you must live in a world of misery mate. Imagine dwelling in a constant cycle of negativity.

It's not "facts", TRS doesn't know what extent Bally's ligament was ruptured prior to him going back out there again or whether it deteriorated due to it.

But you're right, people who refuse to get heads out of their clackers or struggle with comprehension make me one sad panda and unfortunately the world is full of them

 

[surfer1]

Is he buckleys son from an affair or some shit? Honestly either that or he has some serious shit on bucks

Isn't that what people say about Blair.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

What's happened to Adams?

 

[jackcass]

Isn't that what people say about Blair.

He was a busy young colt

 

[jackcass]

What's happened to Adams?

Hurt his knee against the Bumbers, hasn't come up this week.

 

[Jonno94]

Adams out...

I'll be shocked if this isn't a slaughter.

No, but I see no reason to doubt their clinical decision making based on the timeline of events, my knowledge and experience.

Evidently you do and four years later, it is still your right.

 

[Soups]

Aish, Varcoe, Adams out for sinkers, Langdon and Broomy.

Well, the stuff that IS known (isn't it?) is that after the Lachie Keefe and Josh Thomas thing, the Club made a pact to stop with the illicit drugs (that is known right? I'm sure I read it somewhere). But apparently obviously the drug thing came out in the off season and then the Sydney game happened.

Apparently, after the game, Pendles basically grabbed Cloke and Fasolo and slammed them up against a wall a absolutely berated the shit out of them both. The assumption there is that the 2 of those must have been involved.

The only reason I believe the story is because I've been told by another person (who is even closer to the club than the first) that quite a few players in the side don't really like Pendles much. Or Bucks for that matter. Not because they don't like them as people, but because their standards and dedication are just too much. Which honestly, was kinda cool in a way to hear. I like that Bucks and Pendles are so dedicated.

 

[surfer1]

Best available team in my view

Thoughts on my direct reply to you?

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Another Friday, another Collingwood injury.

The only surprise was reading "Taylor Adams - Knee" only for it not to be an ACL.

 

[jmac70]

When I read this on the train I nearly puked.

 

[jmac70]

It will be a great effort to get within six goals. Could get very ugly.
