We keep on muttering incantations to prevent injuries and forestall this thread, but it just doesn't seem to work reliably ...

Would have been good not to see this thread at all this season

Ward Raring To Go

A former co-captain could return for round two next month.

"Cameron and the GIANTS have returned to the club with a relatively clean bill of health with only two players (housemates Tim Taranto and Matthew Flynn) likely to miss extended periods of the season."

"Tim Taranto is probably about eight to nine weeks away," he said.

The unscheduled break in the 2020 season means that the former co-captain is taking part in full training and expected to be available for round two.

Speaking with the media at the GIANTS training facility on Wednesday, Cameron said it would be a balancing act to ensure Ward has a suitable preparation considering the lack of second tier football.

"The challenge is does he need a game or two [before playing in the AFL side]? And you weigh that up between his training and seeing where he's at in the three and a half weeks," said Cameron.

"Going on what I've seen in this short amount of time and prior to when we broke, he was knocking on the door. He's 30 years old, we trust our ex-captain to play a come out and play a really good brand of footy from the start.

"If we don't think he's ready [by round two] then we'll give him another week. Right now there's probably no reason to hold him back."

Excellent news for Cal & GWS - but it does add to the logjam of players fighting for spots in the 22.

I like that the logjam is full of quality, makes a nice change

So am I correct in saying all that is out now is Taranto & Flynn. Everyone else is available for selection.

Taranto 8 weeks away approx.

Flynn is how far away? He is probably 3rd in line (if not 4th) anyhow, but still it seems the club is bullish on him long term, so would be nice to have him developng.

Would put him 2nd behind Sauce, would of got his shot last year if it wasn’t for injury.
Mummy is great but his time has come. He is someone I want around the club for some time teaching our your rucks how to get the job done but on field he is there as a back up to Sauce until Flynn is ready.

pre injury perhaps.

After 12 months off, Mummy is a certainty to come in before him. Briggs v Flynn is probably undecided after the long lay off.

Would be interesting to see where they rate Flynn fully fit, perhaps he's be pressuring Jacobs for a spot.

Despite everyone saying we need a ruck, I think Flynn and Briggs are more than adequate generation next for the rucks.

Unfortunately with no NEAFL you will probably be right, but who knows. Will find out soon enough hopefully.

We needed a ruck before we got Sauce. We now have 1 that will do the job very well until Flynn and Briggs are ready. I don’t think we need another now.

Hey fellas, how is Zac Williams travelling? Looking for a solid SC defender.

Hi

Hey fellas, how is Zac Williams travelling? Looking for a solid SC defender.

He's fit and will play.
I reckon he'll be done on SC points though, won't get the midfield minutes he got last year with the injuries

Updated yesterday

Good to see a timeframe for Flynn and hopefully he is back then and gets a debut, nto sure if Kennedy is good after a mention that he missed the intra club on saturday but plenty of options to come in for him and he will be back in soon if he does miss

Matt Flynn	Knee	3-4 weeks
Adam Kennedy	Hamstring	Available
Xavier O'Halloran	Ankle	Available
Zac Sproule	Knee	TBC
Tim Taranto	Shoulder	4-6 weeks
Callan Ward	Knee	Test
Zac Williams	Achilles	Available
Updated: Monday, June 8

Early prognosis
Taranto will miss as he recovers from shoulder surgery in the off-season, with his return still some weeks off. But Ward should be ready to play following last year's knee reconstruction while Williams, who also missed round one, will be back to add even more quality to a line-up brimming with stars. - Callum Twomey

 

[Pres]

99.9% sure I saw Sproule in the intraclub so you'd assume he's good to go too.

Here we go. After the grim reaper David Joyce and the equally cursed Wayne Campbell we now have an Anthony LaPaglia lookalike doing the honours this season.

New music track as well. Pulling out all stops!

This guy is much more definite. Firmer time lines and less general vaguenss, every injury the last few years, we will be progressing them through the steps and see how it looks hopefully we will commence x at some point and if they get through that we'll start them y, maybe.

 

[norway blue]

Excuse the intrusion but
all the best to Callan on his return. I like the cut of his jib . And go well on the weekend. .
