It's respecting Peel to not play a man down in a key role for half the game.

A mid or half forward, a runner, different story but they will have to play an extra tall to cycle into Cox's role when he's done.

 

[G Mus]

Must be coming from a long way back if it’s reserves. Have we ever had a senior b22 player come back through reserves? Usually straight to restricted league minutes isn’t it

Bennell if he counts


Also great news for Seb, wasn’t your garden variety ACL, tearing every ligament plus the two shoulder reco’s

 

[E Shed]

They said they want him at the slower pace of rezzies for 60 max. I’m much happier they’re doing things like pulling Chappy for awareness & a slow build on Cox.
Let’s face it our injuries have been way lower since we changed things up.

Lachie Neale in 2013 played a half a game for Swan Districts reserves and had 40 plus possessions.

Surely that was more than a half. Must have been 3/4? Or even a full game. The stats say in addition to 43 touches he got 9 marks. There is no way he took 9 marks playing on ball in a half.

Highly interesting fun facts from this game:

• It would appear the only top two tier football comp active player left from the 46 in the match is Lachie himself.
• Luke Morabito played in the match.

It's quite a sight to see a thoroughbred running around with mule colts.

Looks like it was 3/4 according to the 2013 WAFL Watch Thread.

Can see 60 mins getting to 3/4 though

Wouldn't have been on for the whole quarters

It's not a direct quote, I was infering based on a post saying he had 20 at quarter time and 30 something at HT, then he finished with 43.

any news on Pearce? looked horrible when he went down

 

[StingBitten]

JL didn't give much away in the press conference, could be a positive the Docs didn't get a sense of anything wrong.

I'm hoping he's just out a week or so.

 

[mattis117]

Torn muscle in the forearm maybe. That would be a bizarre injury. Pure speculation

 

[ilikepotatoes]

If it is a broken forearm there's at least precedence of players only missing a few games before coming back in a splint.

what was Weightman's injury? I remember the great Brian Peake playing in a cast

Be a good tool out on the field.

Could be the new Cowboy Bob Orton

 

[FreoGirl]

we were/will be lucky if that's not the only injury from today - was a bit concerned each time Jackson and others slipped on that surface

 

[DragoDelph]

 

[mattis117]

Ow!

 

[noise36]

Any word yet on moose? Waiting for scans?

 

[Stinky Lomax]

They’d be waiting to see how he pulls up overnight and then probably go for scans later today if it’s still bad

It’s an interesting one because it looked like his elbow took most of the impact through it & hyperextended. He could be double jointed though.
Hopefully it’s just a strain of some sort.

 

[Gimme the Fyfe]

We need you Moose

I did notice he was spending a bit of time with the doctor at half time on the broadcast.

Probably explains his poor kicking too.
