Where has Freddy been whilst all these injuries occurred?

Very suspicious.

Hiding under his bed

Could be worse. We could be St Kilda with no injuries and no hope

Haha. They've got no excuses.

Except Ross the Toss.

 

[Hardas]

Now, now... deep breath!

Howey's back this week, & Wilbur's back next week...

 

[Piestration]

I think Dean stays in for now which allows Howe to go forward and Billy to pinch hit. It's also time for Freddy to show us he can play more than a couple of quarters.
Reef and the Hyphenator should be back soon to give us options as well.

This is a good opportunity to get some more hours into the kids and I can't wait for this new energised line up.


Bring it on.

I’ve been confident about making the top four - and then letting the coaches to do their September ‘thing’. At close to full strength we are very good, with only Sydney being better than us.

But I can’t see it now. We look like bobbing around between sixth and tenth on the ladder, but not gaining any real upward traction with these injuries, and so many inexperienced players.

Makes me

Yes, its depressing. 15 on the injured list is a huge count. No team can cover that.

We had so few soft tissue injuries last year but that has certainly squared-up this season. Add to that a spate of concussions and a few random ab strains, foot fractures and vascular disorders and suddenly it seems we're not at a tipping point anymore - we've gone completely over the cliff!

I'm especially disappointed for Richards, who has been nothing short of sensational since making his debut.

 

[LuckyLee]

I got that one wrong.

Cometh the hour, cometh the Nightmare.

Going by round 12 injury update:

Round 12 v WB at Docklands

• Bytel expected back from concussion (if gets through training)
• Howe is expected back (if gets through training)

Round 13 v Melb (King’s Birthday) at MCG

• Reef? (back from concussion?)
• Earliest Elliott will be back
• Earliest Eyre will be available
• Earliest Mitchell will be back
• WHE expected to be back

Round 14 v North at Docklands

• Earliest Mihocek back

Round 15 Bye

Round 16 v Suns on the Gold Coast

• Earliest JDG due back
• Earliest Richards back
• McStay starts contact training

Round 17 v Essendon at MCG
* Earliest Mason Cox due back

Round 18 v Geelong at MCG
* Earliest Steene is expected back

Round 19 v Hawks at MCG

Round 20 v Richmond at MCG

Round 21 v Carlton at MCG

At this rate McStay may beat half of them back into the team!

 

[LuckyLee]

Why can't we have nice things?

Its not the Collingwood way.

 

[Magnanimous]

I’d add HH to that. He’s special!

There is going to be some upside here for sure.
Extra games into these up and coming players will be good for 2025 a d beyond.
Going well some of these guys will get 10 plus games this year.

My gosh, what an absolute bonfire of injuries. Richards being thrown in out of nowhere sucks. I'm starting to think the only player who will avoid this injury crisis will be Jack Crisp.....right?

Why??????

 

[Kirby]

I’m travelling around Europe in my happy place mentally and I log on and read this. It’s carnage.

Kreugs and Howe in should ease the blow.

We will win this week. This stuff is made for us.

Yep, or this

But I am amazed at how well we’ve gone so far. Testament to the quality of our players and the brilliance of our coaches.

 

[gouki88]

Last night on First Crack the boys gave their predictions on our expected ladder position at end of home & away rounds
Anthony Hudson 3rd
David King 2nd
Leigh Montagna 3rd

Be interesting if they reassess given latest injury news …..

I think 15 or 16 wins will be good enough for top 4 this year. Think we can manage that.

This weeks injury report was bleak. Joe Richards was a surprise but also no mention of Pendles so that’s good.

Time to unleash the nightmare on Swan street. Freddy uninjured might take a few dogs down on Friday but knowing how he plays he might take out himself and a few of ours too and make our list longer.

He's been cleared to play.
