Yeah well there's that and the fact TDK will be missing for the rest of the H&A season...

Yeah but we knew that, there were allusions by posters to some massive blows coming in the injury report tonight

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Some defenders to return which is gooood..

Martin returning to fitness right in time for Williams coverage too

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Love Nige's courage and commitment. Sadly,another who's body just hasn't been cut out for top level footy. Injuries killed him at North as well.

We haven't had much luck recruiting 2nd hand KPD's (Oscar, Lewis and now SDurds)
Might be time to get a young one at the National Draft or anywhere.

... probably curtains for his career in navy blue now unfortunately.

‘Carnage’ was the word used.

 

[bigblueboy]

Probably not a bad outcome given how many players were suffering on the weekend.
Interesting that Walsh and Harry were not included in the update.

I stand by that comment in the context of the weekend btw.

There's a reason why they all came cheap.

If Lewis could play at the level he does when Weitering is sidelined it would solve all of our issues.

Honestly, think we're a Josh Gibson like trade away from a true dynasty. Grab one late in the draft, see if we can nab one in trade.

It's our most pressing need now that Owies has developed his kicking to the level it is now and a combination of Fog, Mots and others cover the other slots.

Is it really carnage bb.

I get where you are coming from as it looked that way on the weekend.

 

[Bletch]

No mention of Walsh, which I guess is good news?

Also, nothing about Wilson, who missed in the VFL again.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

anyone else constantly scanning twitter for the latest news/rumours for "sam walsh" or " walsh carlton"?

No point. If there's anything wrong with him, it will be kept quiet until the team is named and then he will be a surprise late injury update.

Yes good news

Check post #3554 from earlier today Bletch

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Good clip/ coverage, thanks.

Interesting choice of words - Use of “accidentally” when ref Xerri stepping on TDK’s foot…. Is that the journo inserting that word ……. ?

They always like to make accusations in the softest way possible, so there aren't any repercussions.

Billy back after the VFL bye

 

[bigblueboy]

Is it really carnage bb.

I get where you are coming from as it looked that way on the weekend.

Our number 1 ruck is out for the H+A season. Our number 3 ruck is also out for a similar period.

Our second best midfielder with a history of back injuries was moving like Joe Biden after the game.

Our second best key forward took two concussion tests.

Another KPD is out for the rest of the year.

Our best winger was subbed out with a foot injury (cleared? yay!)

There’s players not listed on the injury update - like usual - who are under duress - Kennedy, Weitering … a five day break isn’t great.

As I say, I stand by the comment.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

I doubt that though. It would be Young i’d say.

I can see Young coming in this week

How so. TDK we knew about, every other senior player from the weekend looks to be available with 4 others (Mcgovern, Boyd, Marchbank and Fantasia) available who weren't last week.

 

[BigFrizz36]

No point. If there's anything wrong with him, it will be kept quiet until the team is named and then he will be a surprise late injury update.

Refer earlier updates. Sore hip not related to back at all. Good to go.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Sad for Durdin, but he isn't up to the level. Was on the bench fairly early in the game getting his hammy worked on and struggled to break into a powerwalk for the rest of the game. Surprised we didn't keep Kemp in as back up and run with Weiters, Durds and Kemp.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Kemp and/or Marchy (hopefully Gov instead of Marchy).
Young won't play unless Kemp, Gov, Marchy and Durdin are all unavailable.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Refer earlier updates. Sore hip not related to back at all. Good to go.

Was good to see he wasn't mentioned on the report and saw the other mentions about the hip knocks, but I'll believe it half an hour before the bounce.

“A frustrating couple of months”: How Weitering has dealt with constant corkies

“They’re decent sized quads to go after...”

www.sen.com.au

Someone obviously upgraded Weitering's humour module recently:

"They’re decent sized quads to go after and I don’t jump the highest either so they’re a good landing pad for some knees when I’m going back with the flight"

 

[bigblueboy]

How so. TDK we knew about, every other senior player from the weekend looks to be available with 4 others (Mcgovern, Boyd, Marchbank and Fantasia) available who weren't last week.

Yeah, it’s just a flesh wound.

 

[ESKIE]

Martin returning to fitness right in time for Williams coverage too

Yes good point

 

[marcmurphy3]

Williams hamstring is probably a standard 2-3 weeker but being conservative with him given his history. Should still get a couple of games before finals.
