[Sam The Doc]

It was always a 6 week plus injury. Didn't have surgery so needs time to let the bone heal.

so what you're saying is, fogarty should've got his other fist out as well and cop 8 weeks?

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Vossy said otherwise today in his presser. Wouldn’t make it a low grade strain if he misses 4 games

Huh? Low grade has nothing to do with it. Repeat hamstrings are diabolical. 1, 2, 3 gone forever. Every subsequent tear to the same hamstring should be treated with more and more time.

Feel so bad for FOG is in career best form and missing a chunk of the season now. Is a huge loss for our forward line.

Marchbank at this point should be put onto the LTI. Need to stop pretending he will get fit and recruit a player mid season that at least will be available.

That player will probably break his face signing the contract.

 

[Rustica]

Nothing new

Positive outlook

Hopefully Weiters and Willo get up as they are crucial

 

[Juddernaut08]

our injury list is frightening.

a lineup of our injured players + VFL would be competitive against north, that' show much talent we're missing atm.

 

[RedFury]

The only thing more astounding than having 12 players on the injury list who would be in the mix for best 22, is that we pumped GWS in that second half without all 12! (okay so Weiters was on the ground, but he was on one leg.)

 

[Benaly28]

Weiters is the main one don’t think we can win without him especially this week.

The others are disappointing but it is what it is.

McGovern/Cunners/Martin/Marchbank wouldn’t even worry about them that timeline is becoming just guess work with them.

[RAPPA]

Reckon Gov will be listed as 1-2 weeks for the next 3 weeks.

Gaining (hopefully) Cerra back for the collingwood will be important. He was BOG up until he got subbed at half time late last year.

Tough 4 weeks. If we can ekk out 2 wins in that block then we should hopefully regain the likes of Mots, Martin, Saad and Fog in the subsequent fortnight.

 

[Kernafides]

6 of the list are important players with soft tissue.... the rest are not senior players or unlucky

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Carlton FC reporting no change from last week - how dare they!!!!

 

[jj1978]

Fogs must of been more than just a slight fracture... have had players get a plate put in, in the past and play 2 weeks later in a brace.

Must have punched Fyfe's wallet.

I hear he does exchange cash for gold bars these days.

Wait.
So Marchbank, who under Voss’ tenure has managed only 6 games less than Fog (even though he did an ACL), but will be assessed to return 2 weeks earlier than Fog, should be put on the Inactive List, but Fog shouldn’t be?

Are you including VFL games?

Yes but that excludes the 6 week Carlton training block

 

[Stamos]

No

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

No

Not that I agree with Marchbank in mothballs, but Fog hasn't been as injured as Marchbank has. I think that's the point being made. Could be an interesting call at the end of the season. Sam Durdin will definitely be gone.

 

[Accidental genius]

Its critical weiterbolt is available this week.

Otherwise Hawkins and Cameron will tear us a new one

Not quite as injured, but not far off

Fortune favours the brave: Fogarty's 12-month turnaround

Lachie Fogarty wasn't sure whether he'd play another senior AFL game... but his luck changed.

[lily of laguna]

Gut feel is Zac doesn’t get up this week but Weiters plays.

Cincotta comes in for Williams and I’d bring in Binns for Carroll and move Fantasia to sub.

Carroll needs a full game so back to the 2’s. Fantasia is suited to impact later in the game or cover for an injury and Cincotta is hard and a runner not the same skill as Zac but will give his all.

How did Zac get the achilles soreness in the first place? Did he get kicked there or just land awkwardly? Or is it just something that's been slowly bubbling over time?

Just before half time I did notice his legs were trapped under someone and he was keeping very still until they moved..

That would be the intelligent thing to do you would think. But alas here we are
