Pearce, Cox and McDonald out makes is hard.

The irony of Hamling watching the game on the sidelines this week is too much

 

[#1JohnHuttonFan]

I was told today he "should be back before finals"

I take no responsibility for the consequences of this being correct or false

Back before finals? Not trying to be a pessimist but we probably won’t make finals without Alex

I really hate the footy gods.

Time to activate Ryan as a KPD

I mean sources aside it’s common sense. He’s broken his arm, takes like 6 weeks minimum, there’s 9 games left of regular season.

I'm certain there's form with Eagles players returning earlier with special approval from the AFL to wear splints on their forearms. Darling and Lecras spring to mind but I can't find much from a quick google.

Edit: Looks like Lecras missed 1 game and Darling 3.

LeCras also broke his arm on April 7th the following year, returning May 11th and getting in trouble protecting it.

I think that's why I remember it.

Also seems like a good excuse for bumping someone high tbh.

I think he broke his arm against Ethan Hughes

Worst case with Alex is he will run and run and be niggle free and super fit for the finals.

 

[doppo]

You’d think they would have picked up a full blown fracture by now?

Oh please god please

I'm just going to pretend "before the finals" means this week.

 

[malpaso]

Cox has been ruled out by JL

Yeah that's why Davies is there..

[Ge3ks]

****!

 

[hoss]

Unlike him, I have. Unlike him I don't constantly bag out the entire club. I'm just stating that Hughes over the past few seasons hasn't played great football at afl level. And I'm right

Bullshit you have.

Once again Rhino the mouthpiece to sugarcoat our injuries for some reason. He would've known it was broken already, but the tweet was framed in a way that let people think otherwise.

F*k

"minor" could mean anything from hairline fracture to not needing amputation

 

[Taylor]

Alex's body likes having complicated breaks riiiiight near joints so hopefully it's very simple.

 

[FreoGirl]

Heeney was out for 6 weeks I think? he then returned and destroyed us

Might need to play Jackson at centre-back with Pearce out. Not sure Cox is ready yet..

I think Jackson was tagging Mac Andrew yesterday, otherwise they could have put him down the back to plug it up

 

[hoss]

I have

Ok, I accept that, it's just that I've never heard an AFL player or even WAFL player for that matter call another AFL player 'shit'. They know what they've gone through to get to that level. You called someone that you obviously disagreed with a couch critic and then did the same thing about a day later. I just used your same words. Even if you have played footy at a high level, I'm not sure that gives you more right to call players shit anyway. You should understand more than the average punter.

I think Brian Peake played in the 1977 WAFL G F two weeks after suffering a forearm fracture. Was stabilised with a plate I think. Probably wouldn’t/shouldn’t happen these days.
Sadly Easts lost to Perth by 12 goals.
Treacy to CHB.
