David Cuningham	Knee	Being integrated back into the skills program. He will build up his fitness base from here as he progresses towards a return to play in the middle of the season. (Update: 21 April)
Ed Curnow	Calf	Experienced a calf strain at training which pushed back his return to play. Expected to be available after the AFL mid-season bye. (Update: 3 May)
Caleb Marchbank	Knee	Experienced knee-on-knee knock in the VFL, and had some soreness which is why he did not return in the second half. Scans have cleared him of any damage: will be a test to play VFL. (Update: 26 May)
Jack Martin	Calf	Will be a test to play this weekend. (Update: 26 May)

Great news re: Marchy (even if I do have concerns that he struggles to run out games).

I think your concerns are rather factual

I just said a very bad word whilst skimming this and seeing some other clubs' lists.

Like, really bad.

 

[BigBreakfast]

C’mon Marchy. Missing link potential to put us over the top. Bot needs you!

 

[RedFury]

If Marchy were a DnD character he'd definitely be the wizard. Absolute glass cannon capable of huge damage output, but breaks in a single hit.

Time for AR to cast stoneskin on him.

Apologies to any non geeks if that made 0 sense to you.

Great news about Marchy and Mirkov!

Cunners and Ed not too far away either (according to the minimal information on the report anyway). Wonder if either of them could squeeze into the team..either way it's a great spot to be in with further competition for spots.

He could've run that game out but Carlton held him back as a precaution. It was said if it were any other player they'd have gone back out and finished the game.

Marchy certainly has some mental demons to overcome, wouldn’t be surprised if it was more his decision based on his history and fear of getting injured again.
He needs some continuity just playing, getting the hits, the bruises and general short term pain that comes with it to really get used to playing again….

Anything to base this on, or just a wild guess?

Not so wild guess, my post never intimated fact

Jack Carroll been playing with a broken finger.

Jack Carroll been playing with a broken finger.

What the...get Dow in ASAP

 

[Arr0w]

Not surprised, tough kid

What the...get Dow in ASAP

Easy swap for Martin. Carroll has been playing forward since Hewett came back.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Carroll with busted finger preferred over fit Dow... yikes.

Carroll with busted finger preferred over fit Dow... yikes.

I dont think it is like for like with Dow and Carroll.

It just shoes how thin we are on the ground with injuries at the mo.

Martin will replace Jack if his finger is still sore. (If i broke my finger I'd be off work for a fortnight!!!!! luckily I have have a fair bit of sick leave in my piano testing job).

 

[The Smoking Gun]

Easy swap for Martin. Carroll has been playing forward since Hewett came back.

How about Martin goes into the VFL to prove he's over his calf injury??? Not so sure Martin is the automatic in many here seem to think he is.

Not sure that makes much sense. If he wasnt over his 2 week calf injury he wouldnt be deemed fit to play.

You would think Martin is an automatic in for Carroll who has been playing as a permanent forward. Martin is 10 times better then Carroll in that role at present (and I rate Carroll). Kicked 5 goals and had 4 assists in his 3 games pre-injury. Also good overhead which will be handy in our short forward line. Can play as an undersized FF when SOS rucks.

Injury report posted yesterday, with updates dated 26th May, two days after the post, a lot can happen in those two days at the Blues.

 

[forever blue 1]

Hoping Cunners can make it back by the Essendon game. He likes playing against them and given they're a soft mob, it'll ease him back in nicely.

Fingers crossed all goes well, he’d have to be brave.
