[Footy Smarts]

Looks like Guthrie's season is done. But maybe Hawk could play a couple of VFL finals and be a chance for a prelim if we make it that far.

Has anyone seen Cam Guthrie doing anything at all of late?

Not since the clip of him running a month or so ago

Did he come back?

Could explain it.

**** - definitely season over for Chuckie

Jesus. The incident looked so innocuous too.

So Chucky is done for the year.... if it wasn't already signed off.

GO Catters

Looked like a non serious incident.

Im sad to say but i reckon he might have played his last game and hes just short of 100 for us too.

Very good chance he is done but it wouldn't surprise me to see him given a 1 year contract as backup and slowly transitioning into a coaching role as as far as i can remember that is something he has wanted to do.

Helps with the health insurance costs & recovery from this injury

I doubt he'd be on a significant wage and as you said, transition into coaching - he's an assistant with our AFLW team, and this could present an opportunity to move into a development coaching type role

Another coach without eating into the soft cap

He is coaching the aflw team so could keep doing that without being on the mens list.

Yep a good way to get around the soft cap which is what I’m all for

I am aware but thought it may be an option if that is something he and the club would like to do

 

[kickazz]

Geez that's rough for Gary. Also not great for the team, perhaps not best 23 but very important backup.

 

[catsfootyfan89]

Rohan would've been a very handy depth-sub going forward. That's a big blow.

 

[dazbroncos]

Reckon we will miss Mullin too as a strong defender type.

Best game in the QF

Go Catters

Any news on him yet or still waiting and hoping?

Waiting for the group selfie of him & Rohan sharing a hospital room...

 

[Footy Smarts]

Mullin jogged off so hopefully no structural damage from the hyperextension. He'll be sore though. With a 2 week break I'd say if it's just bruising he'll be ok.

 

[My Tilly]

Rohan would've been a very handy depth-sub going forward. That's a big blow.

Maybe Guthrie could make a good sub?

 

[kickazz]

Maybe Guthrie could make a good sub?

Seems at the moment to need time to work into games rather than being a quick impact player off the bench. But he does have class on his side.

 

[Cataholic]

Maybe Guthrie could make a good sub?

No.

He doesn't have match conditioning, and it showed against Southport.

Lose a player early and he'll blow up imo.
