Injury Blue Healers Discussion - 2024

[JustOneTime]

Why Doch and not JSoS? Simply career risk factor vs flag chance. Docherty wants to take the risk because he is at the end of his career so gamble is worth it to be part of a flag.

JSoS has a 5+ block of years to go in his career. Not worth the risk.

Apparently he has reported that it has been his best recuperation from a knee yet.

Good sample size too

This exactly. Doc would rather take the risk in finals, rather than have to get through a full preseason and home and away season for another possible chance next year.

If anyone can, Doc can.

Man is a ****ing hero in my eyes

We knew the injury reports were telling us something.

Dare to dream

I'll get a tattoo of doc on my ass if he makes it back for finals and wins the flag

Does your donkey know about this?

 

[Kruezing]

Lifts the Cup with Crippa … the way God intended … love Doc

To avoid trouble with RSPCA, I will not be disclosing this information until further notice.

 

[JustOneTime]

50/50 who gets back quicker. Doch or Martin

It's a safe bet. Nobody is asking for proof.

Maybe the letter D on the left cheek and letter C on the right is all you’ll need..…

Doesn't mean they won't be seeing it anyway Todn

WoW

 

[RPCB]

Yeah, that’s enough of this thread for me.

We knew the injury reports were telling us something.

And we were laughed at for it...

I was doubtful but it seems so. And possibly the real reason we only took one MSD selection

Certainly Doc has the incentive to get back ASAP. He is our second oldest and has a significant injury history. He would love a spot at the big dance, and we know he will earn it.

Returns from ACL’s are usually conservative, but when a player could conceivably be on his last contract, the goal posts vary considerably. A decision only Sam can make, but every confidence he will put the club before himself and not play if not ready.

Speak for yourself, proof will surely be demanded after such a statement

Wendy O Williams of the Plasmatics comes to mind. Not sure why.
