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

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

Motlop straight in for Zac

Zaccy hamstring

 

[Bletch]

5 definite outs (Doc, JSOS, Williams, C Durdin, M Carroll)
3 'Test' (Gov, Fanta, Wilson)

 

[Thrawn]

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.

The worry I have is that is it worth the risk bringing back a player that hasn't played all year and won't be fully match fit? Even if it's Doc.

 

[Thrawn]

50/50 who gets back quicker. Doch or Martin

They'll get back quicker with Doc Martens.

 

[Benaly28]

The issue we’re going to have with players over the next two weeks is the short break to port.

I think we'll be fine. We had a 5 day break before facing them at AO.

We just need to be careful with certain players.

You'd hope Gov doesn't flex his hips again.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Williams being a TBA is a bit worrying.

Williams being a TBA is a bit worrying.

He has 6 weeks to get back hopefully

Doc

(From last week’s training)

He was actually back out on the training track about a month ago.

This was a photo I took after a VFL match back on June 22 before security told me to **** orff.....Doc with the rehab group with no strapping on the knee.

 

[myblueroan]

I mean, it's also a good time to give us a little lift ...distract etc...

Just saying.☺

3 weeks in a row on the concrete slab?

Yep, those that are test need to be kept for the Port game.

We’re closing in on that ‘season over’ injury timing. Boys would be playing a little within themselves. Let’s hope Williams, Martin, Motlop and cunners are still in the hunt in the next month.

Mate...shhhhhh!

Please throw a pound of salt over your shoulder & rub your face on the nearest wooden door.

Spoke to someone today re Docherty.

Playing this season isn’t a question of fitness or ability, more so they are weighing up the benefit of him playing finals this year vs risk of re-injuring the knee ruling him out of next year.

The knee has responded “astoundingly well” to training and the feeling from them personally is that if he continues on this trajectory, then he will be playing this season.

When asked, they said if they had to guess it would be 75% chance of inclusion.

Obviously nothing set in stone but good to hear nonetheless.

If he reinjures the knee that's his career at this stage.

Don't like thinking about that but surely that's the reality of the situation.

More or less exactly what they said
