This thing will be paid off within 6-months. Going to look dodgy as hell.

What’s Harry done?

What’s Harry done?

Carlton's injury crisis threatens to deepen with spearhead Harry McKay sent for scans on a suspected quad injury on Monday morning. McKay appeared to suffer the setback in the final four minutes of the Blues’ crushing defeat to Hawthorn on Sunday afternoon.

- From the 7news article in the tweet

What’s Harry done?

Quad injury.

 

[Opium]

Quad injury.

Who's left on our list that hasn't had a soft tissue injury?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Who's left on our list that hasn't had a soft tissue injury?

Ollie and Owies. Reason being they're so slow it's impossible for them to get up to a speed that risks their hamstrings

 

[Graffy4242]

We somehow managed to injure 3/4 of our best 22 forwardline in a single game of footy.

Surely that must be an AFL record.

FMD.

Umm I think the boot studder might even get a crack this week.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

3:32 to go in the 4th H takes a mark, lands awkwardly and pills up proppy with a limp

Looks to the bench too, next seen in frame limping with 1:05 left

Then again, takes a short kick after a grab at 0:07 and limps too

Definitely not looking good with him getting scans today

EDIT:
Quiet day at work for once, don’t judge me

 

[carlton_99]

Looks to the bench too

Poor guy just saw an empty bench

 

[Kruezing]

Who's left on our list that hasn't had a soft tissue injury?

Ironically probably Russell …

Poor guy just saw an empty bench

Yeah think so, looks really pained out there and had to take multiple contests - really sucks to see

I pulled the boots on for a rotation-less ressies game earlier in the year to help out a friend and copped a corked pec in the first Q, had to play the game out with every breath being in pain

I can’t imagine doing what Boyd did for basically 4 quarters with the pressure of a packed MCG falling in on you, it was hell doing it for a shitty reserves game

Boyd broke my heart - there was a contest where he had to go up against three up forward and he struggled to get off the ground. Voss even said in his press conference that he was "playing on one leg" after an adductor injury early on

 

[Opium]

Is this the lowest we've been in terms of unavailable players?

 

[RAPPA]

Owies full forward, Motlop at CHF. Watch out.

Does that mean they'll be on my screen more? I fear for my TV

Anticipating that they won’t venture outside out forward 50 and minimal entries we’ll get, safe to say that even with 100% TOG they’ll rack up 10 touches, 2 tackles and 1.1 between themselves

For the rest of the season or just this week?

[Stiffler's Dad]

Do they still do that thing at the races with a screen?

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Do they still do that thing at the races with a screen?

We might as well do that but with cortisone shots instead

 

[Red Bull]

Do they still do that thing at the races with a screen?

They’d miss anyway …

 

[GT619]

2012 all over again

It's not even a fresh injury. Another reinjury.

The question at this point is who isn't carrying and playing through an injury.
