Wonder whether it was a surfing or beach related injury.

Oh. I thought it must have been a training mishap reading the AFL article, but on reflection it doesn't mention training

It happened the day before training resumed.

Any more info on how he got injured?

It was at his house, so we can rule out the traditional "off-season music festival" injury. Trampoline? We haven't had one of them for a while.

Wow hope the young fella is ok. Pretty concerning when the club wishes the best for his family. Shame, I was really hoping to see what he could do this year with that rawness. Fingers crossed.

Question - does it change our draft selection profile?

The problem with training the house down is that sometimes it falls on you

Darcy and Treacy both had massive impact on our structures last season and the club has shown pretty minimal confidence in Reidy.

A potential option in Kuek has been delisted.

Voss has looked handy as emergency depth rather than a genuine best 23 prospect in his own right.

If we grab Gerreyn with our second I won't be unhappy (there are other possible options at that draft range).

I would have been happy with Gerreyn even before the Odin injury, despite Jackson being so young himself, we don’t have a decent Forward/Ruck understudy, Treacy is too important now to risk as the back up. Reidy and Knobel are not forward/Rucks they are both rucks only.

Can't argue with that, but if Hynes, Clarke or Davis were sitting there and Odin looking good the thinking changes.

I can live with Voss as forward ruck as a backup.

Listening to SEN the other day, a caller rang in about the Odin injury. Claimed her daughter was in the vicinity when it happened. Trampoline injury.

Trampoline injury.

Probably not the smartest move considering his size and footy future, but I can totally relate and would probably do the same thing, we are invincible at that age or so we thought.

The double bounce will get you every time.
