Swan

[banana_bus]

Hope hes right to go for this week. Need him to pull another 80-90 score so I can get him in a Otten-Zaha double trade.

 

[Invigoration]

Will be pushing sh*t up hill to get back to week I reckon which blows, seeings I have him in DT and we need him desperately next week.

Looked back though and he was proppy as after it, wouldn't surprise me if he pulled up pretty sore. Knees just aren't meant to bend like that...

 

[CRAWF 08]

o god o god i hope he is ok ....

dont think i'm gonna be able to sleep tonight

 

[stylz]

wait till the scans come back.. iirc the report after the freo game a few weeks back was that palmer was a bit sore in the knee and will be fine.. couple of days later hes out for the season.. could be nothing for swan... could be 8 weeks.. touch wood..

 

[Tippaz]

i've got Swanny & Kornes

(and Beams & Anthony)

 

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

The Doc sounded pretty confident that Swan would be fine - said he could have gone back on if the match was closer. The way he just glossed over it and moved onto other injuries made me think he was 99% sure. If Swan ends up missing weeks, I say the Doc shall lose his 'best in the business' tag

 

[DT_fanatic]

I haven't seen the injury but going by what people have said and what I heard on the radio, if Swan plays next week that will be a legendary effort. Shame I lost by 8 pts in the elim though...if he stayed on I might've won it... fml

Not TOO bad, but anybody know when Anthony's coming back? Wasn't it 4 weeks at the start of the season?

 

[magpies03]

Was a bit of a wierd injury. Happened down infront of me.. he copped a clothesline and went down holding his knee. They said on talk back last night on the way home he could have come back on if he wanted. Just have to wait n see how the scans come up!

 

[WoGiTaLiA]

Was always 6-10 weeks, should be back in the reserves this week from my source, a good game would have him knocking on selection.

Full training this week apparently.

 

[chadleverington]

few weeks in VFL you would think. still atleast 2-3 weeks away.

 

[coast2coast]

He hasn't been included on Collingwood's injury list. Fraser is listed as test and Cloke 2 to 3 weeks.

Mind you Beams isn't on the list, and wasn't on it last week either!

 

[DaVe86]

You can add Fraser and Thomas to my list of injuries

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Ablett
Swan
Kornes
Kerr
Rich
Hartlett

Beams
Anthony


Bold = fit players.

Here I was thinking, surely Swan wouldn't get injured...

 

[coast2coast]

Collingwood says Swan is sore but should be right to play. Hallelujia!

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/76687/default.aspx

Thomas is in same boat and Davis and Medhurst expected to be available. Fraser better than 50/50.

Didak another week away, Cloke out for 2 to 3.

 

[legauch3]

agreed. the report states;
"Walsh said midfielders Dane Swan (groin) and Dale Thomas were sore but should be right to play this week."

 

[CRAWF 08]

i wouldnt believe anything they say this early in the week ...
just have to wait and see if he trains at all this week and even if he is named he would prob be a 50/50 chance to play in my opinion ... especially with the amount of late withdrawls the pies have had this yr

 

[Tippaz]

so it's just the groin then. no apparent knee injury.
i'm starting to think Swanny might actually play. please please please please please.

Paul Daffey's description of Dane Swan in The Age '09 Season Guide: chugs all day with distinctive low knee lift

f*cking hello Skeeta's mids

 

[Benno_900]

Yeah, Geoff Walsh on FoxSportsNews said he tweaked his groin not his knee. Hope it doesn't hamper him for the rest of the season.

I hope Rich is in good touch for you this weekend ... you need him to score about 800 ... (400 if you make him Captain ^^)

 

[chadleverington]

Nah, Hartlett is in this week, Beams a very good chance, Swan will play, Kornes is a 50/50 and Kerr is shit (trade him). Gablett back the week after.

 

[Jimhouse]

Will be thrilled if Kornes plays!
Yet to cop a zero all season... This time last year I had copped about 8-10 zeros.

 

[favourites]

not sure about swan...

An email from MM

"We've got six days to rebound, and in doing so we'll pick a new side, because
unfortunately we have lost a few players through injury"

Cloke is the only one put down as one week, i think swan, thomas and fraser will be very doubtful. Collingwood places alot of emphasis on playing players who are 100% fit.
