Injury 2022 Injury Updates Thread

[Port85]

I think we might be able to cover these outs with the “Reverse Hinkley”. Flood the back half instead of clog our 50 and use our outside runners to get the ball into a more open 50 for our flaky forwards to have some space to operate and our noob defenders aren’t fully exposed.

Can give that a real crack on the narrow Adelaide Oval.

12-10 season incoming. Another successful year for Widdle Cwub

Wow. That might even be enough to finish 8th.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

This is where coaches need to earn their money. Something creative to get us out of a tight spot. For all of Mark Williams shortcomings, always felt he had options up his sleeve for situations like this.

Hinkley, well, he has proven form to not respect the different types of roles that fit within a reasonable football structure and follows a more "next soldier up" approach. This has burnt us in the past. I recall in his first year (?) refusing to replace Trengove at CHB and losing 5 in a row.

Really hoping he doesn't just bring in Sinn and Motlop and expect Jonas and Burton to somehow play taller overnight.

Bring in Skinner and Pasini and maybe bolster the flanks with a bit more class to support. Rozee is struggling, maybe run him back there and push Jones up.

At least the LTI's keep the 2001-2004 reincarnate fairytales alive.

Well .... **** me.... This isn't good news at all.

Time to look to the future, play youngsters, and start preparing the list for Clarkson in 2023.

 

[philthy05]

All the more laughable that Stinkley didn’t make changes.

Marshall, who lets be honest was offering nothing up forward. When we went 4 goals up why was he not put lose in defence ?

Why wouldn’t we have moved finlayson, the older player who has played as a back man who was our worst key forward on the day..

… if we were going to throw someone back that is..

I just made a post in another thread saying it could be either. Finlayson did start at CHB and would have been probably a better choice for this job and may need to play back for the next few weeks.

I went to Marshall in this instance primarily because Finlayson was needed to pinch hit in the ruck.

 

[Iwish]

the chad got some work to do now with the defence he wanted the gig lets see what he is made of and what he and ken can come up with

 

[Revan11]

Marshall's time to go down back.

It really might be that.

That would mean an actual move would need to be made.

This, from the PAFC website...

Fortunately, early prognosis suggests the damage is not as bad as it could have been for Duursma and McKenzie, with the pair set for scans once the side returns to Adelaide to confirm the full extent of their injuries.

“Xavier looks like he’s okay from a structural point of view or a break, it’s been checked and it’s okay,” said Hinkley. “But at the time we were fearing that it may have been broken.”

“Trent looks like, and we don’t know (until he has scans), but we think he may have escaped the worst. We will wait and see, but on the initial tests our doctor is very experienced and he is reasonably confident that as an ACL goes it’s not that.”

 

[Chizza12]

It really might be that.

Definitely worth a try...

According to Jon Ralph, Allir has done a syndesmosis

No Allir , McKenzie and Clurey minimum 2 months. Ouch. Goodluck Ken

 

[Port 2004]

Why do you sound so happy? This is our team who played their arses off last night and no doubt would have won save for the injuries and subsequent limit on rotations. You are fool.

Now is the time to put money on the crows in a fortnight

 

[robbo1981]

Are we all going off what Jon Ralph said about Allir? Or has it been widely reported?

It’s been widely reported but I’m wondering if they’re all going off what Jon Ralph said.

Port not correcting or shutting the rumour down is a concern.

I don't think so. The crows had one really good period today when Freo were tiring after a very wasteful first half. They still lost the game....at home....against a Freo team that probably won't play finals....and without some genuine match winners.

They're going to win one eventually, wouldve been last time if it wasn't for Allirr tbh and its their homeshowdown whats worth a few goals

 

[robbo1981]

If they have the same umps they had today were in trouble.

 

[PAFC66]

We wont a game till round 6

We wont a game till round 6

Rubbish we'll win next week

the cows will still be without walker ..
Flogerty & Himmelberg are not a worry

the only problem would be Thilthorpe (which could be handled by Skinner)

& Rachele (who is a major problem)

Rachele has kicked 3 goals, 3 goals & 5 goals (maybe Sinn can take him - our top pick from last years against their top pick from last year)
