We are such a bloody fragile team. Every year the injury list is long. This year it is really all the plays you don’t want out!

Really bad luck, and a commitment to the players long term?
Deledio worries none most. We're committed this year and missing one game isn't the end of the world. If it's a pattern and becomes disruptive maybe a cruel decision about him playing NEAFL for the stability of the side might have to be made. It was stability that hurt us last year I think. I hope not and it's still too early to tell how the season will pan out. It's not gonna be the kind of injury run the Tigers and Crows had last year but it might turn around.

Seems that way.
We've known Jezza's toe hasn't been right for a few weeks. Lids was always going to have to be managed.
I'm more worried about the mysteriousness around Greene, Lobb and Kelly. All seem to have pulled up with injuries with very indefinite time frames.

Itm think it's a bit to do with getting them right later when we need them. Seems to be the case with Kelly at least.
Jezza lookedp yo kick ok on Saturday to me so I thought he was over the hump, but it's the medical staff that know I guess.
I hear what you said though, but we go on and I keep hoping. What choice is there.
The big positive out of all this is that Langdon’s injury is only minor!
This kid is a revelation and provides manic pressure. I think he could end up one of our most important players.
If he misses a week I can live with that!

Most of these problems - groin strains, mysterious "hot spots" - are classic "overuse" injuries. The only way to heal them is with complete rest.
Once you reach a certain level of fitness, the law of diminishing returns kicks in. We might need to ease up a bit with training.

Is Tobys hot spot the same leg as the pre season injury?

Yup, when you just get the news in bits you think hmmmmm getting bad, but when you see the list in full it's very stark, we are either at or beyond last years injury impact given the key players involved.A quarter of our list...
And eight of which are undoubtedly best 22.
Hi folks, can anyone take an educated guess at how long Toby is out please.

Gday guys hope you don’t mind me dropping in. Just wondering on the progress of Adam Kennedy?

I think Kennedy is a week or 2 but i would say will play in the Magoos for a few weeks.

What is hppeneing with Cameron? Was the row something he hurt in the game or was it a post game/ mid week?

He's been playing with a broken big toe on at least 3 weeks. Club report said they'll rest him with a 6 day break.

Mmm
He's been kicking poorly. I'm not sure if it's just playing wouldn't make it worse, or affect the time to heal. Missing this week was a surprise though after playing with it previously.
