The AFL site says that Harbrow has a quad injury and is a test for this week.

So much for the virus.

It was mentioned by the club during the week that he sustained an injury during training.

Am I the only one not wearing a tin foil hat?

Comment from the club :

Harbrow set to return for Dogs
Michael Gleeson
August 18, 2010
JARROD Harbrow's absence from the Western Bulldogs side for the past three weeks is not, the club insists, because they believe he is set to follow Nathan Bock and Nathan Krakouer to the Gold Coast Suns at season's end.

Harbrow is likely to return this week after missing two matches with the flu and a third with a training injury.

It was thought he hurt a collarbone, but club officials said he had suffered a minor knock to the knee.

The pacy back pocket has told the Dogs he wants to defer all contract talks to the end of the year amid widespread speculation he is one of the six uncontracted AFL players the Suns have earmarked or signed.

''He had the flu, like a lot of our blokes in recent weeks, and he missed two games.

''He missed one week then he trained on the Saturday and was expected to be OK to play and he came down with it again that night and the next day so he ended up missing two games,'' Bulldogs football manager James Fantasia said.

''And then he got a knock on the knee at training so he missed a third game.

''But we expect that he will be right to come back in this week.''
 
Re: Jarrod Harbrow Shoulder

The WB public comments on player injury/illness (media reports, WB website, etc) would have to be one of our LEAST reliable sources of information. All year. The Harbrow absences (shoulder, knee, virus) and now Higgins (calf, thyroid, whatever) are just a couple of examples.

And when they finally say they have come clean I'm still not sure I can believe it.

If they feel they have to be sparing with the truth for tactical reasons I guess I can live with that but it's frustrating as a supporter and as we have seen it just encourages rumours and/or unfounded criticism of players.

Sorry but where does he say that the club sat him out? He stated that he believed harbrow to have a should injury and would miss 3 weeks with it. Harbrow has missed 3 weeks and is set to return, maybe his info was decent?

Where in my post or his does it say the club sat him out?

If you can't understand that speculation about Harbrow has centred around an invented (on this board) shoulder injury, sorry mush it's your reading comprehension.

Some poster also claimed that Harbrow couldn't lift his arm above his shoulder in training. Speculation...

So you think the Western Bulldogs tell lies?

You can see where all this is leading?

No mate, that "some" poster was me and it wasn't about speculation or invention. I was there last week and saw Jarrod train with a heavily strapped shoulder and he couldnt lift it above his shoulders when receiving (marking) the ball. But he still ran and kicked well. Was this just ruse to throw off supporters and media? Give me break. I didn't see no limp either but that means nothing. Why bother strapping a perfectly good shoulder just to do kicking drills? Read into what you will mate, I'm just presenting what I saw with my own two eyes...Nothing more.

You should pop down to training and let us all know if his shoulder is OK now.

I thought he always played with his shoulder strapped but I'll have to take your word for it above the club I guess.

You reported on this injury AFTER other claims were made about a shoulder injury, despite no clear evidence.

You see what you want to see sometimes.

Eye witnesses are very poor witnesses as it happens.

A recent study (Wells, et al, 1998) examined the first 40 cases where DNA exonerated wrongfully convicted people. In 90% of the cases, mistaken eyewitness identification played a major role. In one case, 5 separate witnesses identified the defendant.

Maybe you didn't even see Harbrow, all these folks look the same yanno..:)
 
What sounds more realistic? Three weeks with a shoulder or two weeks with the "flu" and an extra week with a knock on the knee at training?

I am leaning towards the shoulder...........I guess time will tell after he is crunched a couple of times on the weekend.

I understand people having doubts on what other BF posters say due to the nature of the medium but if we constantly shitcan people that post info we will be left with nothing.

Oh so your saying his shoulders are fine and dandy and that the people going to training are lying, ok.
 
argurrr.

Missing Cooney and Higgins has underlined our lack of depth in midfielders who can use the ball. If the opposition only has to sit on Griffen, they can shut him down and our insde midfielders have nobody to use the ball for them.

Ward, Reid, Moles and Libba are all inside midfielders. Wallis better be bloody good, bloody quickly.

People are saying Harbrow is a loss, but not a major loss, but I dont think until now we have realized what we will be missing - I firmly believe he is destined to become an elite midfielder of exactly the kind we require - quick, evasive outside run and carry.
 
Well with coons out he gets his chance over the next couple of weeks to show if he can go in the middle.
 
Habrow is a mid, kind of in the mould of boomer Harvey, the dogs haven't used this to our advantage. Habrow is exposed in one on one contests in the def 50. His strength isn't defending stokes & betts types. With Coons out of action, the dogs should try Habrow as a midfielder with Hudson Boyd types creating some blocks to give habrow some space at stoppages.

Whatever happens now, I hope the doggy coaching staff can get creative & create some shocks in September..

Go Doggies!
 
Did quite well in the midfield last night - probably the main positive besides Grant :thumbsu:

On Gameday this morning, Cooney said he reckons Harbrow will stay - I for one am not convinced at all :(

I saw that as well. Lets hope that Harbrow has told him something :p and just been leading on GC...But i severely doubt it :(
 
The Boy From Brasil said:
What about two 1st round picks? If we use Bock as a guide, Harbrow is a lot more younger with more years in him and I would think he would earn more at GC17 than Bock. And that is the criteria that is used to determine compensation, age and future salary.
Click to expand...

Harbrow and Krakouer are the same age (22) and Krakouer has been valued as a 2nd round pick.

Whilst Harbrow will surely sign a much larger contract than Krakouer, how much larger would it have to be worthy of 2 1st Round picks?.. I doubt the difference in the value of Harbrow and Krakeour's contracts will be that immense.

I think our compensation will be in line with that received by Adelaide for Bock, a pick at the end of the 1st round.
 
I'm still clinging to the hope that Harbrow will stay. But if not, I'd think he will be a "band 2" player (ie we would get a 1st round pick directly after our normal 1st round pick).

Fair enough. I respect your opinion. I tend though to think that the salary of Harbrow will far far exceed Krakouers. But it is as you say, is the difference enough to give us that extra first round pick? Maybe I am being too optimistic.
