Good news that Higgins is playing this week, is there any news on R.Murphy? It said somewhere he got a corked thigh..

 

[Invigoration]

Can't believe I traded that squib in for Houlihan a few weeks back only to show him the door a couple of weeks later. Never again...

Absolute pansy, he falls over and is ruled out for 12 weeks.

Even when he was back he was a shit scorer, definitely nevah again.

Western Bulldogs
Shaun Higgins is back after three weeks out with a hamstring, while Daniel Giansiracusa will play in the VFL after a seven-week knee injury. Daniel Cross (ankle) will miss another week, while Ryan Griffen (hamstring) and Tom Williams (foot) will be out for at least two. Robert Murphy and Brad Johnson (both corked thighs) are reportedly okay, while Wayde Skipper and Guy O'Keefe again pushed their cases forward with solid games for Williamstown against Collingwood.

 

[Thorgils]

says here that Grimes may struggle to make it back before the end of the season

'The half-back has since played 11 matches, although he has missed the past two with a hip flexor injury and could struggle to play again in 2009.'

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/83053/default.aspx

also noticed that on the Demons website injury list states:

Jack Grimes – Hip Flexor –1-2 weeks Injury list as at 18 August 2009

 

[NT.Thunder]

Ii dont think any1 would still have Mitch Robinson as cover, but any way his season is over with stress fractures.

Injury List is up

Grimes 1-2

Might have to trade him now. Lockyer looks my best bet.

I was thinking the same but given his run home I was looking towards Gram or Enright as options aswell.

Jed Adcock to play reserves this week?

http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/sport/afl/story/0,27046,25957319-5016169,00.html

THE first step in Brisbane's bold plan to have Matthew Leuenberger and Jed Adcock available for finals could be taken when they turn out tomorrow for the reserves in a do-or-die QAFL match.

The Lions have monitored the pair over the past week and provided they get through a training session today, they will be named to play half a game each in the reserves.

...

Adcock's return would cap a stunning reversal of fortune for the tough midfielder, who was originally listed to be out of action for a year with a torn ACL requiring a reconstruction.

A second opinion was that it was a 12-week injury. But if he is picked today, it would be only six weeks since he limped off the Gabba in the round-15 victory over Geelong.

Chapman in big trouble with a hamstring

 

[Invigoration]

Chapman in big trouble with a hamstring

I brought him in this week too

 

[drummoyne]

Hopefully out for two. Chappy and a struggling Stevie J will be great for the Pies first week of the finals!

 

[Benno_900]

Chappy could be right for round 22 ...

Expect the tribunal to investigate Buddy's bump/head high hit on Cousins tomorrow. Has carryover points as well IIRC.

Pretty sure he lost his carryover points at some point during the season. They only last for a year from memory.

If thats true then he should be in the clear wrt carryover points, as he got a reprimand in rd 12 last year.

Found where we discussed it during the PS.

Leigh Montagna should also have a case to answer for tripping Andrew Swallow yesterday.

Saw it from a few angles - still not sure there was anything to wrong with it!

And thats why Cousins will probably miss next week

Shoulder hits Cousins in the jaw and knocks him out.

Whats probably saving Buddy is that Cousins slightly ducked into him causing the injury.

Yer, you never know what the tribunal is going to do with the tripping incidents, wouldn't surprise me at all if we went for 1 week.
