Rivers

[demon_chick7]

i was at the game tonight and was really upset to see rivers get injured! he has so much potential and i hope he doesnt miss too many games. does anybody know how bad his injury really is?

 

[w00dy]

they just said on the tv coverage that he had no pain after the game, and thinks he will be okay...

 

[Jimi]

He was having a laugh on the post game coverage and the consensus was that it wasn't too serious. Allows for Biz or Ferg to come back in next week.

 

[demon_chick7]

thanx, that makes me feel a bit better

 

[BT]

Good excuse for him to be rested next week.

Bring Fergy in & play him where he looks best, in defence.

Riv will be right.

It was hopefully only a hyperextension, one week out at the most.

Hes got 2 weeks to recover fully so hopefully he'll be good for Rd. 1

DO you think he'll be fit for Rd. 1? If it was a hyperextension which is what has been suggested I think he should be good to go.

dont waste rivers next 2 weeks, no point. he has already injured his arm before (same arm?)

 

[Deestroy]

Booked himself a couple of weeks off before the season starts. Sounds like he'll be good to go in round 1.

Yeh he should be alright, no excuse for Danners to rush him back at all.

hopefully he'll be right he has bulked up alot particularly legs/hips so he should be alot better this year in body-on-body contests, as well as being good in the air like we know he can be

Just watched sports tonight. Apparently there's a chip in a bone in his elbow. That sucks. Scans on ligaments still to be done. Any guesses now?

 

[demon_chick7]

i know...i heard that he may be out for up to 6 weeks now

 

[Marns]

4-6 weeks they reckon. Like he said in today's Herald Sun, it was just as well he did it in the preseason where he's got weeks to recover, rather than it happening in the middle of the year, where he would definitely miss b/n 4 and 6 weeks, where (hopefully) now, he might miss 1 tops.

Rest him Round 1. Really, I will be very p1ssed off if we can't beat Carlton and we can cover him for that week.
