Winged Crows

He's recovering quickly today. Started off at 1 week away, moved up to 50:50 on Ch 10, only to be upgraded 40 minutes later on 9 by Craig to 70:30.

If only we had one more announcement on his availability, he'd be a certainty.

You've gotta love the Adelaide media. On another note, what did you gusy think of the Akermanis/Braun issue? IMO it's one of the worst things I have heard a sportsman say about one of his peers.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

or ready to run out tomorrow !

A marathon that is.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Kenny McGregor okay to play? I read in Monday's Melbourne Age he'd struggle to be available for selection.

Fantasy Footy-related finals' question.

Cheers in advance.

No, he won't play.

what do you's think Adelaide will be like next year when we FINALLY get a full strength team. i dont think anyone realises that Adelaide have so many injuries.

Hentschel- a power forward that crows need
Biglands- the ruck to back up hudson and also can go forward
Bode- small crumber in the forward line
Bassett- best back line player in the game
Ricciuto- brownlow medallist who can play forward and centre
McGregor- another good key forward that can go down back

Being a bit kind calling Trent a power forward. However he is the player we have missed the most this year.

It is a long road back for him. It's not just getting over the injury, getting his confidence back may take another half a season before he is fully recovered. May be 2009 before we see trent back to where he was.

don't know that roo and biglands will even be on our list next year??

trent's going to take a while to start firing on all cylinders

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

According to Trigg on Ch9 - McGregor, Welsh & Doughty should all be available for the Doggies.

Doubt over Burton though.

Don't bank on Hentschel returning peeps. He may never play again.

Gee...fantastic. How far away is Bode these days?

You keep saying that.

Is that based on knowledge or opinion??

I wasn't aware that I have been repeatedly saying this.

I wasn't aware that I have been repeatedly saying this.

You've said it before.

Knowledge or opinion?

 

[Gets!]

Opinion.

Macca take anything FD says with a grain of salt.

From all reports Trent is progressing as well as could be expected and is running and running and running a lot.

I am telling you don't get your hopes up.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

IMO, Hentschel will play again.

Just don't expect him to be the Trent of old in 2008.

Agreed.

It's so typical though isn't it? We finally get a quality forward in there who makes a difference, and he cops a near career-ending injury just as we approach the finals.

 

[King Elvis]

Any chance of the mighty HoundDog being back in the next week?

Bode's injury is fairly unique and as such they are not able to provide a time line for him. Normally a timeline can be created against previous injuries data on how long it took over an average, but his injury is rare so they can't really say one way or the other definitely. Anything they put down is more a guess than anything hence why they changed it to indefinite.

I thought Bode's status was the season not indefinite?

I'm sure you're right.

The plan as I understand it was for Bode to concentrate on having a good pre-season for next year.

Any updates on Trent Hentschel, is he up to running yet, light training?
