Injury Update: Heeney out of Lions clash
See the latest update on the Sydney Swans squad ahead of our Round 14 clash with the Brisbane Lions
Heeneys so called concussion is the final nail in the coffin for me that our doc is taking the piss. I'm convinced he's just ruling players willy nilly for stock standard headaches, it's gone beyond the joke now. Either that or he is under strict instruction by the club so that they can avoid any legalities. Can't tell me tmac is being held back on the consensus that whatever he is symptomatic of is 100% unequivocally due to a concussion from 10 weeks ago. If they've taken it this far how on earth are they going to differentiate future symptoms like a headache being due to or not due to previous concussion?
As for Heeney, the main lingering symptom of a broken nose is a cold headache. It's not a concussion ffs. The chances of a concussion from a hit to the shnozz is futile, let alone to be diagnosed with it days after. Absolutely ridiculous. He'd be the first person on the planet to be diagnosed with delayed onset concussion days after a hit to the snout.

I have no idea why the Wicks' suspension is included with the injury report - except that he will be missing the game this weekend I suppose, but that doesn't make it an injury.

No mention of Blakey or Melican nor Rankin and Vickery. It’s all puzzling to me.

Seems he's a Digital News Producer at the AFL (seems to be based in Melbourne)
Seems to have NFI
Because his brain exploded.
Usually no mention means they are fine.
For a side with supposedly heaps of injuries
We don't have many injuries.

Injury Update: Several star players a test for the weekend
Callum Mills is a test for the weekend after recovering from a calf strain.

For us it’s not about a huge list and more about the fact that just about all the injured can make a claim for a best 22 spot. And a lot of them have been key position players.
It'd be nice if the club could provide an actual update based on progress during the week, rather than one clearly written at the start of the week, then just dropped an hour before selection.Lance Franklin

Thankfully one can love the Club, yet regard it's administration with contempt.

There appears to be light at the end of the tunnel in regards to injuries (touch wood) Not that I think it will make much difference. IMO the damage to our season was caused by what was done - or what wasn't done - between October and February, and it's hard to overcome that during the season.
I’m half expecting to read “Kurt’s ankle has progressed and we expect him to resume running soon”.
IDK, hard to put concussion and neck injuries down to conditioning. Similar with Ladhams, Logan, Roberts with ankles and knees.
This might make sense if most of our injuries were calf, hamstring, quad, groin or side issues.
Edit: Nm, I realise you're talking about form of our actually fit players.
