Is the Sturt injury the one that's been ongoing for years or a new one? He is our Obi Wan hope of some kind of forward link up
Praying madly here

The " fine Crystal Chandelier "Description from one of our BF brethren is very apt for this young fellow
Such a shame, truly is his time to shine

I guess it’s a positive that they didn’t call lobbs ACL yesterday, the basic test is pretty quick it’s how they pretty much knew the result for Rayner.

The length of delay is a concern here which indicates 2/3rd opinions. Lobby might be on a plane to Melbourne right now. No doctor but don’t expect him back before the bye round

What's Strnadica up to these days?

A guy on Twitter (NRL physio) said he’d be more concerned about the potential syndesmosis ankle injury in the same movement

Tippett retired because his body was ****ed. Wouldn’t seem likely.

Imagining what this hybrid player would be like. The courage and loyalty of Brett Kirk mixed with the tall, athletic injury riddled body of Kurt Tippett

(knee) no certainty to get up for their round one clash against Melbourne at the MCG on March 20.


Pressure forward Banfield suffered an ankle injury after West Coast defender Brad Sheppard dived into his leg in pursuit of a ground ball in Sunday’s narrow loss.

He was on crutches when he went for scans yesterday.

Walters hobbled off in the third quarter with what he predicted to be a low-grade hamstring tear, while Crowden’s calf injury ended up being more serious than it looked live.

 

[Mogumber]

Awesome, but only Walters is B22, Lobb is B22 but he is massively overrated imo

Five-time leading goal-kicker Michael Walters (hamstring) and forward-line teammates Bailey Banfield (ankle) and Mitch Crowden (calf) are all expected to miss six weeks.

But the extent of towering forward-ruck Rory Lobb’s knee injury is still being worked out.

So nothing confirmed, just a opinion piece!
I’ll wait till the club reports it.

 

[Unique Name]

And ****ing Sheppard got the free kick.

Was such a bad call by the umpire.

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

And ******* Sheppard got the free kick.

Was such a bad call by the umpire.

Yeah that was bullshit by the ump. So obvious - I thought those calls were now just an unconscious decision - rule has been in for a while now so it should have been picked up.

Now we have a player out for a number of weeks and poor shepherd has a scratch on his head

Club needs to address that decision with the AFL. Exactly what the rule was introduced to prevent but totally useless if the umpires don't enforce it.

How did you feel about Taberner up front with only Treacy to support?

Listened to Karl and Haze last night. Started non-stop about 50 50 decisions on a irrelevent scratchie, and didn't even mention the women's derby for 4 points on International Women's Day til much later and hardly mentioned it apart from poor WC skills and who should have got the MVP. Anyway, Karl focused on trying to blame Banfield over Sheppard yet this is exactly why diving players should be penalised to avoid leg injuries. Funny moment when someone rang up saying how much they disliked Tim's calling and laugh on Sunday.

That was my original thought live at the ground but they were icing the knee and he had a brace, would predict an MCL tear 8 weeks plus or minus 2

 

[Mogumber]

How did you feel about Taberner up front with only Treacy to support?

It is what it is, but you reap what you sow. Brought Lobb in coz we were desperate, hasn't really delivered.
I would put Darcy in a forward position, and have Taberner and Fyfe up the ground a bit.
I would bring in Western for some pace, keep Shultz and tell him he burns it he's fooked, and have Cerra in there as well, or Fred
If Fyfe has to go in the middle, bring Mundy to play on a half forward role, 3rd tall.
Darcy can ruck in the forward 50 only, someone else will need to support Meek around the rest of the ground

Long term you’re seeing both Meek and Darcy in the 22, or just stop gap until Darcy is for?

 

[Mogumber]

Absolutely!
Darcy isn't a bad kick for goal, and if our forward coach, IF, big if, can teach our smalls to read Darcy in a pack situation, he is more than useful.
As long as his knee is ok for pack marks or other

Walters crowden and banfield all out for 6. Fmd!

Hey serial_thrilla we've nobbled our buddy before the season's even started!
