With a six-day turnaround, will watch how Williams (ankle), Owies (ankle) and Kennedy (knee) come up. Corey Durdin also with a shoulder injury in the 2s. Hopefully none are serious.

There was a 5min stretch in the last when if Zac was a racehorse he would have been in serious trouble of waking up tmw.

Hopefully nothing, but not sure he has the ability to impact a game with less than 80% of his capabilities.

Is an MCL 6 weeks?? Just googled.

Williams was moving fine, doubt he misses.

 

[Mr_Plow]

I'm still scarred from Docs injury this year that at first club expected to be minor but ended up being an ACL.

I'm just hoping the physical examination assessment of ACL stability is accurate here . Kennedy is an important piece, crucial player.

Welcome back Plow

Thanks Arr0w.
Always here/reading, busy with work/study/exams but enjoying the ride, what a year thus far! This is a very capable team health permitting.

Usually 4-6 depending on severity. Can be longer if its very bad but that would be unusual.

He should be back for finals.

If Kennedy is out he will be replaced by Hewett who is a good option. More midfield minutes for Hollands which is also a good thing and the sub will most likely be a forward. Motlop for example but Carroll is also an option. It's not good losing Kennedy but he is currently one of the easiest players for us to replace currently.

You are too slow

 

[Sam The Doc]

Agh! See him with his usual smile during the team song. Such a shame..

 

[RPCB]

What is he trying to say here? It’s an MCL but we will be sweating on it over the next week because it could be a significant one? So in other words he has no idea?

So he’s pretty reliable? Or… ?

Often with fully ruptured MCLs you see the injured person in intense pain. While Kennedy looked very sore he wasn't writhing around.

Guessing there is some torn meniscus to complicate things

 

[Arr0w]

Probably 5-8 weeks

Agreed. This doesn’t tell us anything we don’t already know. Maybe it’s closer to the six weeks than the four weeks.

Voss was pretty certain it was a medial strain. Don't think anything official from the club has been released yet.
As long as it's not ACL and we can get him cherry ripe for finals.

He's a tough country boy.

 

[RAPPA]

Fingers crossed from Bam Bam it’s not season ending. Anything sub of 8 weeks will at least give him a chance to play the final round.

Between now and finals, taking account of the pre finals bye, is 10 weeks.

Just under 13 weeks until our last match this year

Such a shame he has been fantastic….
