Of course, how it should be.

Maybe he’s getting taxis because his hammy is to sore to drive?
Hamstrings are fine to drive. Calf tears are the ones that impact driving

2023, bad year- 4 separate occasions- tore 2 hammies and a calf. (And a fractured shoulder)
Could not believe how difficult walking is with a calf tear; yes, driving hampered with a right calf tear (auto car)
Ouch. Where abouts did you fracture in the shoulder?? Hopefully nothing that needed a shoulder arthroplasty

A very mean feat in Moggs Creek, it should be noted
It is a worry. It was only his second match so it wasn’t a question of managing the number of games Danger plays.
In just hope Danger and CS are taking Geelong’s injury shenanigans to a new level and decided to have Danger publicly point at his hammy late in Fridays game when when secured the W even though it’s 100% fine.
“Scans” show he is “out” for a few weeks.
Nek minnit he is weirdly named as an emergency for the Hawks match and a extra late in after Parf “strains something” running through the banner (ahh I don’t even know if we do banners anymore).
Then Danger is BOG Easter Monday.
All of this work just to get a small advantage over the Hawks.
Not saying it’ll happen… but I’ll tip my hat to CS and Danger if it does, because that would be taking it to an elite level of trickery.

They're saying 2 at this point.
Cheers. Is it normal for someone to miss 2 with a hammy? I always thought it was 3-4 minimum.

Same....but I wouldn't be surprised to see it evolve into 3 - 4 weeks.
To say 2 suggests they think it's very minor, but then they would also know that leads them into the North game, so they'll likely end up giving him that week off too.

Guessing we will make sure Danger is 100% and leave him out till after North that will give him a little over 4 weeks injury management
Ok. So always need to read between the lines with our “health update”. At least the “new guys” doesn’t waffle and the update was like 90 seconds long… no I am trying to interput as he used different words for each player!)
danger…2 weeks. Very specific. (I reckon he meant 2 rounds so don’t expect him back until North Melbourne). Would not be shocked if they gave him the extra week (precautionary!) given it is north at home and had him fit and ready for trip north in round 6
Atkins…very close last week and will be “ready to play” (if trains fully tomorrow)
Bowes…should also train tomorrow and will be “available to play”
Bruhn… had test last week and was close and will be “same this week” (I assume test again)
For those last 3 I read in that Atkins will play AFL, Bowes VFL (maybe part?) and Bruhn probably one more week given 5 day turn around.

They are saying “2 weeks” but I reckon it will be exactly as you say

So he's out until at least round nineteen if he's missing the round eighteen clash with the pies.
Anyone know what the story is with Bews atm?

GFC moving on... Different direction.
The player in question is.... Not happy Jan.
He had the best pre season in about 6-7 years by all accounts.
That's all i got.
