Re: Calling out 6-10
This is really sad for Callinan, and I hope he can someday fight his way into our team later this season.
But look at it for what it is, we lost a rookie player, he isn't even on our senior list. It's not really that big of a loss.
Sad for Callinan, but we'll cope

Re: Calling out 6-10
I disagree - he was almost a certainty to get an upgrade by the start of season, that opportunity is now lost to him.
Biggest winner out of this is Jaensch - looks like he's back on track to be our designated crumbing forward.

Re: Calling out 6-10
Another to benefit from poor Nutter's injury could be Matty Wright, he was next in line for the upgrade spot.
This might sound pointless and stupid but could the club upgrade Callinan and place him on the LTI list then upgrade Matt Wright while Callinan is injured? My rationale is that Callinan seems to be the clubs preferred choice for the elevated rookie spot and it would allow Wright (second in line) to play until Callinan is back without having to wait for another LTI to occur

Re: Calling out 6-10
And during the season, we would have to drop Wright straight back to the SANFL when Callinan comes back (either in 8 weeks when he reaches the minimum time to be on the LTI is up, or if he comes back later)
It is more logical from the Adelaide Football Club to upgrade Wright now (if he's going to play), and at a later time, either when another person is injured, or at the mid season point, we can upgrade Callinan or another rookie.
Nice lateral thinking, but the problem is, is that If Callinan is out for say 6 weeks, he can't play any games for another 2 weeks after that, even if fit.

Yet another of my DT secrets destroyed. Poor bloke. What an absolute terrible day 2 of your best KPP's injured aswell and it wasn't even a nab cup game. Your preseason has almost flipped to being like last year in a day. I feel your pain.
Why are the footy gods SO cruel
I feel so bad for him! I'm sure he is devo!

That one isn't a DT secret mate, about 95% of people had him in their team!
Havent they upgraded it to 10-14 weeks?
wow.i was at the game today, it really didnt really look that bad. i wouldnt be suprised if he is only out for 4 weeks. he almost went back on in fact.

Of adelaide supporters. Nobody in perth even knows who he is.
Can't believe they say he will miss 6-10 weeks! Was right in the middle of both interchange boxes and he came of and had a few trainers looking at his arm, I thought he was just wanting it restrapped as he didn't look to be in any pain at all. Went down the race for a little and reappeared with a bag of ice stuck to his arm.

Ridiculous injury for football but that's just our luck I guess. Feel really bad for the bloke given that he has pretty much a cert to be upgraded.

Re: Calling out 6-10
I dont believe that the opportunity is lost to him
if Brodie's injury is as serious as expected then the club has the opportunity to upgrade 2 rookies, with this in mind I would say that both Wright and Nutter remain a strong possibility to be upgraded, Nutter's opportunity may come later when he return's from injury as a result of Martin being on the long term injury list

Didn't he take a pay cut to become a rookie and try to resurrect his AFL career? Devastating
However...assuming there's no complications in his recovery, he'll be ready somewhere around round 4-8. While I'm 99% certain that Callinan was first choice, Jaensch/Wright now get a chance to cement a spot and when nutta comes back he puts the pressure right back on them to perform, so it's not all bad.

Poor bugger... hope he still gets a chance.

This is what I posted in the other injury thread about Callinan. Somebody (rightly) said that yesterday's injuries have nothing to do with fitness management. But I think we should be a bit careful with the Callinan one.
This bloke was/is and extremely durable footballer, this injury is incredibly out of character. You do have to wonder if for whatever reason he has worked just a fraction too hard on his fitness. His body composition has changed quite a bit since last year.
