The mismanagement of Selwoods injury isn't getting enough scrutiny.

He missed more then half of last year FFS, before some genius deemed him fit to be playing in the final meaningless game of the year against the suns.

And now low and behold he's struggling to be ready in time for round 1. It's up there with Yeo's broken hand for stupidity. Someone needs an uppercut.

Although preferably not with Yeo's dodgy hand

I do remember being surprised when after Richmond won and we had no chance if making finals we played selwood and yeo . We has sheed smith and Brennan as emergencies and all would have got more out of that game !

How would you know that? You sound obsessed. I'm not obsessed like you, i'm just a fan.

Concur. We've had a number of players over the journey that have missed significant numbers of games and in a few of those it's been a recurrence of the same injury or complications from surgery. These things can be risky but as you say with selwoods questions should be asked not least how he managed to disguise/play down a serious injury from medical staff and keep playing for several weeks before it was identified as a problem

In other preseason news, star Eagles midfielder Joseph Bloggs suffered a setback to his 2015 campaign when he suffered a flare up to an existing decapitation he originally suffered last season.

Bloggs will be sent for scans some time in the next fortnight to determine the extent of the damage, but Eagles coach Adam Simpson was upbeat his chances of being ready for round 2 of the NAB Cup.

"It's very much wait and see at this point for Bloggs," Simpson told reporters at his Thursday morning press conference."Bloggsie has dealt with injury very well in the past and we're confident he'll be right to go. Obviously, we'll know more after the scans."

"We're taking a conservative approach with Bloggs allowing his head to knit with the top of his neck naturally with rest, rather than sending him for surgery."

Bloggs originally suffered decapitation in round 5 last year, but fought his way back to be part of the team that took on the Gold Coast Suns to determine which of the two clubs would receive the worse selection in the 2014 AFL Draft. Despite being declared dead prior to the match, Bloggs played a pivotal role in ensuring the Eagles received the worse draft pick.
