that is a shame but a terrific first season by a future club captain!

Maybe Harbs comes back and has a 'retirement' game?

 

[kreglze]

Harbs is pretty much a straight swap for Budarick.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Spewin to see Budarick miss, he almost played every game. Think Noah will be the only player to play every game from his debut, something we have lacked. Any stat people out there know the longest current streak? Lukousius got rested round 6 v adelaide or else he would be on. Is it Witts?

O’Meara didn’t miss for multiple seasons since debut until he injured himself

Played 44 in a row then never again for us

That's a quirky and yet really annoying stat.

Sam Collins spotted with ortho boot on. Anybody knows how serious it is?

 

[Jirik13]

Club champion Sam Collins (foot) missed the weekend's practise match against Brisbane but is expected to return for the AAMI Community Series match against the same opponent or certainly by round one. Adelaide recruit Rory Atkins has resumed with the main group after a foot problem, but after missing an intraclub and practice match will unlikely be available for the start of the season. Back-up ruckman Zac Smith copped a bump to his knee in the VFL practice match on Saturday that is still being scanned, while top-10 draft pick Elijah Hollands and reliable fullback Rory Thompson are both still recovering from ACL injuries. – Michael Whiting

We are screwed if Witts goes down

 

[kreglze]

PCL, while bad is no where ACL level. Should be back fit mid season, but we need Witts to be as durable as he has been the past couple of seasons.

 

[Mr Bods]

2MP would be a handy ruck backup

Ruckman are over rated.
Just play an extra mid

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

Murtagh - come on down, just run and jump into the other big guy

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Rory Atkins	Foot	Test
Elijah Hollands	Knee	TBC
Joel Jeffrey	Finger	1 week
Patrick Murtagh	Calf	1-2 weeks
Izak Rankine	Ankle	Test
Zac Smith	Knee	10 weeks
Rory Thompson	Knee	TBC
Updated: Tuesday, March 9

Early prognosis
Rankine missed Monday night's AAMI Community Series game against Brisbane after tweaking his ankle last week but is expected to rejoin the main group in the next few days. Depending on how he trains he should be available for round one. Atkins is also back training and should be available for the start of the season, although is unlikely to be selected in the senior team after not playing any games. - Michael Whiting

Decent injury list.

Outside of Thompson, Hollands and Smith, all should be back by about Round 1/2.

 

[Jen2310]

Pretty decent indeed.

Just heard on insta that Conroy has done his ACL..

Not sure how true it is.

Someone like Hombsch better practice their ruckwork , poor kid would be on a one year contract too

Well Jy Farrar's Instagram story had a picture of Matt Conroy and caption "We are all behind you <3" so may be some truth.
