Injury 2022 Saints Injury thread

[Jade Buddha]

Exactly and it will be exciting to see the team work players through the 22 , Sharman came in this week and added a different look to the forward line and when Higgins went off and Windhager came on he was sensational for a first year player.
I still believe Bytel has a lot to offer but not getting a run of games in the VFL set's him back.
Guys like Byrne and Owens could well be regulars in the next few weeks.

Not as confident with Byrnes. He just doesn’t seem likely when I’ve seen him. Hopefully I’m wrong.
Chito a big yes.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Hanners will be crucial after the bye. Hopefully back in full strudel by then.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Insult to injury, it was high and we didn’t even get a free.
what crappy luck for Steele - didn’t look that bad.

Koloalkdjfaslkjl tapped him on the shoulder as he got up from my memory. As if to say...oops . oh well.

Steele is going to be missed is a understatement but one player doesn't make a team.
Steele hasn't been at his brilliant best this year and in fact Crouch has really carried a lot of the heavy lifting in the midfield as seen against Geelong.
Hopefully this gives the opportunity to a player who can really step up to the plate.
Having Crouch playing at his best and a rejuvenated Ross the loss might not be as bad as first thought.
Jones has had his 2nd run and looks to be getting his form back in order and now with Billings coming back and he will only get better with more game time and now with Hunter Clark on the verge of coming back , the 3 inclusions will help cover the loss.
Of course Gresham will need to really turn it on while Steele is gone and I'm pretty sure a couple of the kids will be licking there lip's for the chance to get a run through the midfield.
Or could the just throw Sinclair into the midfield and bring in Highmore - I don't know what they will do but Byrnes , Owens , Bytel could all get a run.

Our next 8 weeks - the period they say Steele will be out and the only game that will hurt the most will be the Lions game.

Crows
Nth
Bye
Lions
Bombers
Swans
Carlton
Fremantle

I'm quietly confident about the lions game. We will have had the bye and they'll have just flown back from Perth (vs Freo) on a 6 day break. Plus, we beat them there last season.

This year it hasn't paid injury wise to be a JACK........

 

[my name was taken]

As long as he is back for Carlton to make Cripps his bitch them I'm happy.

Aside from Brisbane, I'd have us at favourites or 50/50 for all the games up to thre without Steele. The Sydney game will be crucial for keeping top 4 alive imo but think we can get it done

 

[sasaint]

Two serious injuries from dangerous tackles/bumps but as usual the umps/AFL don't see any problem because it was a Saint on the recieving end. If what happened to Higgins had happened to any member of any other team their would be a suspension handed out.

Yeah true

Billings - injured in preseason
Bytel - injured in preseason
Hayes - ACL
Higgins - two concussions
Steele - injured now

Someone put Sinclair in cotton wool!

I'm not sure he has time to learn the game plan before retirement now.

Yes to this. The down the ground camera footage would be pretty damming with a Cats player running through a clearly injured Higgins.

I'm worried about Higgins now with his 2nd head knock this year , not looking good at all - he has so much promise as we have seen he is lethal around goals and to lose him will weaken the team.

They're ultra conservative with Higgo. Ratts said that last time.

 

[lewdogs]

Just praying that Steele only misses the five games.

 

[prophetic1]

When do the SAINTS nominate a spot for the MSD...with HAYES or COFFIELD....or will they or have they?

Sydney have the game next week which will determine where they end up , they play Carlton, then Tigers , then Melb , then Port , then us.I can't see them wining more than 2 if that.
Carlton are a worry they have a easier games if any game is easy.
We will find out how good Fremantle are as well they play Magpies , Melb and the the Lions and they play Melb twice.

I’d give him till after the bye.

Jacks Steele and Hayes on the road back, Higgins to miss again

Jack Steele is progressing well in his AC joint rehabilitation alongside Jack Hayes, who has stepped up his ACL recovery this week.

“Dan Hannebery was a welcome feature at Tuesday’s training taking part in light duties”

Are they having a laugh?

Night training was it?
Dan had to hobble in and switch them on before the training and off again later.

GOLD!

Hamil must have been coaching him when he first arrived at the club.
