Mind games with pies already… H to line up in 2 weeks!!

you wouldn't be at all surprised....

 

[Juddrockz]

Meniscus was my guess on Harrys injury at the time but im quite suprised they're saying 6 to 8 weeks out with it. Only saying this from my own experience. I had a complete Meniscus tear and was pretty good after about 3 weeks and i'm on bone on bone now.
Guess 6 to 8 is worse case scenario an the club wouldnt take risks with Big H.
I wonder if it's the same knee he injured last time?

 

[Arr0w]

I'd say it continues the club's conservative approach to injury management but think H will be back before 6 weeks

 

[Sector 7G]

Maybe. Maybe not.

H going down all but nullified one of Port's greatest strengths - Aliir and his intercept game.

With both twin towers up and running Aliir has more freedom to move up the ground and zone off when required. So yes it's far from ideal H went down but it did force us to change up the forward structure (which worked, obviously) AND forced a major restructure by Port.

Nah - either H or CC playing one out on Jonas would have been brutal. That guy was always undersized but is now is totally cooked

Yes, same knee but "unrelated"....

As another punter said, he might just even pop back up for the Pies game!!

Depends how you prefer your Jonas! I like mine well done, ATM he's meidum.

I would

One good thing us that we played brilliantly without him on Saturday for most of the game. Players know that they have the capacity.

 

[ferrisb]

All the best Harry. Rehab the s**t out of it, see you soon.

Just not like Clarrie though….

Ah, the ol' Claytons Recovery...

The club probably don't want big H running around bone on bone. Extended recovery period is probably to avoid that.

Might be time to play Marchbank and Young forward in the VFL this week seeing as we have a potential long term injury to McKay, just to see what they can do. Just to be covered should Curnow also go down at some point as well. Play Lemmy back, will do his development good learning some defensive craft.

Last year we stuffed Port with the two big boys, alternating so much that Aliir was always where the ball wasn't. Worked a treat.

Just checked out the AFL club injury lists posted today for this week.
Business as usual for the Blues with a double figure count and close to the top of the list again.
Some clubs running at virtually full strength, what an advantage that is for them in a number of ways …

 

[Arr0w]

Yes, sakc Russell for contact injuries and players listed as test/likely to return

Strange, nothing was said when we had single digit injuries

Marchbank
Durdin
Sdurdin
Hollands

Well, since we're not sacking Voss anymore, I say might as well sack Russell!

 

[teagueyubeauty]

At least we’re seeing glimpses of what other clubs see regularly nowadays…

Scary thing is, all the perennially injured blokes are currently playing, could get very ugly very quick

Yep,
Just sometimes wonder what it’d be like to have the luxury of a near full list like some other clubs have.
Oh well … one of these days maybe

 

[Lace_Out]

im no doctor, can someone explain how long a meniscus tear would mean?

how bout mcl?

i know acl is 6-12 mths

basically when do we get harry back? (best case)

Depends how much cartilage you have left I gues but from my own experience, lateral and minor (twice), it's as soon as swelling has gone down and you feel confortable pain wise. 4-6 weeks seems to be the go generally.

Anyone that can get multiple games into Gov, Martin and Cunners is a mad genius.
Marchy is his next experiment.

Must have just forgotten to add Cripps to the list in this week’s update.
These things happen I guess …

Just a respectful way of saying he's been rested for something he could've played through against a different team etc.

Easy to overlook an insignificant player. I guess.
