Injury Any news on Ball, Maxwell and Johnson?

[cfx_1]

Hey guys!

Has anyone heard anything relating to the above injuries and their availability for the Sydney game?

Do you think its better to rest these players this week as a precausion with the travel and have them back the following week which is btw against WC at Etihad... (why at etihad???)

Can we beat Sydney without these players?

Haven't heard about Maxwell but I'd be shocked if he played. Looked at least a 2 week injury to me, possibly 4.

Johnno has some repercussion from his broken leg last year and we may take a conservative approach and he misses this week.

I'm expecting Bally & Didak to play.

Maxwell won't play, his calf injury is a 2-3 week injury, and he may not even be back for the WCE match.

Johnson, Ball and Didak will play, Didak of all 3 is the biggest concern, with rumours about hip problems (hip flexor?) doing the rounds.

If Ball, Johnson and Didak join Dawes in the side this week, we will win, even with our captain.

Good news I suppose. Johnson and Maxwell out last week really hurt our run from half back, though Reid stood up well. I think we need one of those 2 fit at least against Syndey.

[Wooljay]

Test-tastic.

 

[Pie eyed]

If only half come up this week and we get the rest back next week, we are looking remarkably healthy for the run to finals.
Probably in better nick than any other side injury wise.

The hell happened to Nathan brown? First I've heard of this...

Come on Michael, keep up!! Did his shoulder in the VFL last week. Was a suspected season-ending collarbone, but the 3-4 game prognosis is realtively good news.

Didak, Ball and Johnson all considered "certain starters" next week, with Maxwell likely to miss.

Although last week I quoted a newspaper article that had ruled out Nathan Jones and that turned out to be false.

True still to early in the Week to say who or who not playing but I hope Ball and Didak is are back

Yes, but this seems about right. i.e. from memory, all finished off the Doggies game with no major signs of distress - hence, probably nothing too seriously wrong with them.

This, of course, raises the question: were they deliberately rested last week when available to play? If so, a serious miscalculation I'd suggest.

 

[AsianWithAFro]

hopefully Didak, Ball and Johnson play this week

Here's hoping for Reed to debut (unlikely though lol)

It wasn't really a miscalculation, the 22 players we put out last week still should have beaten Melbourne comfortably.

And with the extra weeks break, it was the perfect time to give some of our older players a rest.

There were fears Ball’s recurring groin injury, which hampered his final seasons at St Kilda, may have resurfaced. But it appears a two-week break will see him fit to take on the Swans.

Good To Hear but was it then a Rest?

Cut and paste straight from the site.

haha... just taking the piss mate. The website has been saying that he'd be out for one week with a calf for the last 4-5 weeks

I still reckon they may as well say...Sean Rusling (body) lifetime.

He certainly looked like he was in a lot of strife the game vs Dogs.

TBH, I'm shocked they think he's fit for this game..very hard to believe any signif groin injury, esp a chronic one, could possibly recover that fast.

Anyway, obviously they know what they're doing and wouldn't risk him, so great news++.

 

[danielnajdek]

JMacs been out for a while with a hammy
Might just be taking it easy with his bad history with hamstrings

 

[favourites]

Ball was given the break to ensure he got through the season... not because he couldn't play.

 

[Youthful Pie]

the real question is; who would u put in. rusling - the glasshouse or corrie - the lost cause?
