Injury 2024 Crows Injury Update

[BRL121]

So will miss the WCE home game, Hawks away and the Richmond home game.

I don't see how it is similar to last year. Then, he went down as if shot and cried to the boundary line. This time looked more like Rozee awareness. I'm not disputing that he will be out for 3 weeks, but wonder how he kept it to that last year!

(knee) season

Patrick Parnell (shoulder) season

I know he has had his knockers and rightfully so in the past but I think Berg out without RT still hurts more than we are going to give it credit for. He has been at a minimum serviceable and certainly not one of our glaring issues, as a stop gap he was handy

 

[Eddie Murphy]

I’ll happily go on record and say I would like to keep Himmelberg. Better lists than ours have bigger spuds as tall depth. That said, I hope we use this opportunity to restructure tactically and rely less on the ruck forward to exit out of defence, giving Gollant a fair crack at it. Still think there’s an AFL player in Gollant.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Oh crap, no Berg is out.

Reckon we go with Gollant, but means Fog likely to get a better opponent now.

 

[Firewalker]

Given he’s fighting to continue his AFL career post this season it would be interesting to know if Himmelberg thought about going down the Sam De Koning path with the ‘Batman’ mask

 

[Ham]

“Luke has got through all the contact we needed him to, so assuming he gets through training on Thursday which we are anticipating, he will play this weekend,” Burgess said.

“He has put a lot of work in along with our staff with his strength around his shoulder, he’s back to pre-injury levels and we’re anticipating him coming in and having an impact.”

**** yeah!

 

[BACCS]

Himmelberg now another 3 weeks away, must have been a worse facial fracture than they thought. Rankine on track for Sydney game. RT listed as 4-6 weeks, so on track for that game straight after our bye as they’ve targeted for a while.

Crap... as I'm not liking what I'm seeing from Burgess.

Would prefer us to use Gollant as 2nd ruckman.

If we keep Borlase in the side, he could be 2nd ruckman... then go smaller up forward.

[rabidcrow]

Showing some age (experience) there...
I haven't heard of (or thought of) Tony Hall for decades. I remember I saw him do his knee in a state game in the late 80's. Awesome player with the Bays and then Hawthorn from memory. When did he last play?

Ended up at the Crows in 94/95. I think it was an absolute bog in 89 at the G and a major reason why State of Origin finished imo

I reckon Cox hit him twice in marking contests - one in particular was pretty firm. I wonder if that’s when it happened

Burgess was decent enough against the Eagles, got involved in plenty of our scores. Absolutely prefer Berg though and a no to Gollant, think he’s gone end of year with Murray coming in.

 

[NSolis]

Assume Thilthorpe would be looking at a game or two in the SANFL. Same for Murray now.

Maybe Murray plays against Sydney or after the bye, and Thilthorpe about R18 or so?

Both feel like massive inclusions.

When it comes to that position it's:

Lachlan Gollant

 

[weekend at bernies]

With both Burgess and Gollant both not getting it done why would you not give Strauchan an opportunity?

 

[BunjiMac]

Crap... as I'm not liking what I'm seeing from Burgess.

Would prefer us to use Gollant as 2nd ruckman.

If we keep Borlase in the side, he could be 2nd ruckman... then go smaller up forward.

I think it's time to give up on Gollant.

 

[Mutineer]

I think it's time to give up on Gollant.

I think it's time to reassess him and move him into defence, looked pretty good for the Calder Cannons where he played half back/wing mostly...certainly not forward, that's purely an AFC thing.

 

[WeeBlake]

Worth a shot. His main strength is his marking, his main weakness is his speed. Maybe he might work as a less accountable, intercepting defender?

 

[Geoffa32]

I think it's time to give up on Gollant.

Especially now that Cook is looking good as that mid size forward.

And Welsh in the pipeline.

Our best area?

Who's spot does he take? Still need to work Curtin into that space as the club see him as a defender.

As a forward he has had stints going up the ground and can't get his own ball. So would struggle on the wing at AFL level.



Seems another example of a guy who looked good as a junior due to natural attributes. But can't take his game to the next level in the AFL where Footy IQ is required.


Hamish has a habit of picking these kind of guys.

I'd be open to that.

Doesn't have the footy Smarts to be a forward I don't think.

Worth trying I defence with his leap and potential to intercept.

Not sure he'd have the pace to be a wingman.

Wing is way way different to playing deep forward as is as an intercepting defender role, surely you get that.

Plenty of failed forwards have gone on to be decent defenders.

He wasn't picked for his forward prowess at the time, that's purely an AFC thing.

Who is he pushing out?
