Selwood - Osteitis Pubis

[Rosella]

How much could that be attributed to playing on the rock hard ANZ Stadium last week? According to the Age, our kicking efficiency was a paltry 68% yesterday. I lost count of how many times we tried to kick it over the head of a teammate so he could run back onto it, only for the kick to be cut off. It just seemed we couldn't get the same penetration on our kicks as usual.

Possibly - there were a number of shocking kicks from quite a few players. But even Chappy did it and he wasn't playing last week.

 

[Rosella]

Yep I agree. His young body needs a rest I reckon.

In agreement as well.

 

[captain amazo]

Did anybody else notice how Ablett never wanted to kick?

 

[Vegas.]

He only had 6 for the game! I noted at the time he was always in the chain where just one more handball was required.

Don't think it was anything too sinister.

Good get.

 

[Jumping Jack]

Bullshit.

Your sauces are tomato.

We will revisit that post at the end of the season ............. I guarantee you he will have an operation for the OP before pre-season commences.

Just because he played on the weekend means nothing ............ there are plenty of AFL players who are managed through early onset of OP. Even Chappy got through most of last year with injections and special training based around his OP.

Do you think if it was Stokes / or Kelly the coach would go out of his way to say both would be back this week ???

It's OP for gods sake not terminal cancer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Vegas.]

Hate to say it Jack, but the latest news is that Kelly won't play, and Stokes is unlikely.

Just to clarify.

 

[shake_and_bake]

stokes is listed as a groin on the injury list. perhaps its him

Got a feeling JJ is on the ball with this , Its not the end of the world if its true about Selwood but it is a major setback for a young guy. Lets hope if he has got op he can get through the finals without it effecting him in the long run.

 

[Vegas.]

Would you think he might have a rest this weekend then?

wouldnt be suprised at all , think its on the cards

Did this end up happening JJ?

Surely you didn't get sucked in by Jacks rumour.His rumours are about as accurate as a Shannon Byrnes kick.

He was pretty spot on about Mooney missing the Carlton game though.

Considering Mooney got injured in the previous game [Coll ?] and the coach said during the week leading up to the Carlton game that Mooney was doubtful,it wasn't a hard guess.Even blind Freddie could've guessed that one.

 

[CF]

I think JJ has been reasonably reliable with his info. Rumors are always going to be a little inaccurate regardless of who is doing the telling.

 

[darren forssman]

yeah, its not like the club would be forthcoming on news if he has OP (has the club even come out and admitted chapman had OP) in light of previous injuries to players like ottens and egan for instance.
