Gee well that would be season over then if it was that bad which of course we hope it's not. Grand Final is around 8 weeks away.
FWIW it's usually Tuesday when the club does the "BUPA injury report". Not sure why they did Cyril's early. I say the longer the wait the better the news is likely to be if anything
If Gunston is out for the season, then it means we roll the dice and bring out a new person to replace him.
We can mourn the loss of a superstar but business must resume.

If Hannebery plays this week it will be 8 weeks, he did his ankle against Port on June 14

Spangher was out for quite a few weeks with his ankle but it looked worse than Gunston's. I'm still hoping it's just a couple of weeks.
Absolutely critical not to lose Gunner for any lengthy period of time. After EVERYTHING this year it's yet another bitter blow.
TOB and Sicily wouldn't be in the frame - I'd imagine it'd be swinging between Schoe and Spang as a structural replacement. Neither have anywhere near Gunner's smarts unfortunately. Fingers crossed.

Still have issues with some 20 yr old ankle injuries.
Don't ever seem to get back to full strength.

After the Rioli, Mitchell & Gibson injury announcements I think we're all a little gun shy. This makes the silence from the club deafening. Here's hoping it's not too bad. If it were a lesser player I dare say most would be pretty content to wait for the usual Tuesday afternoon update .... but this Gunston injury is torture!
Hopefully Gunston is only out for a couple, but I see this as a real opportunity for Schoenmakers to prove he can play as a key forward.
Maybe we should play Grimley and see if the lad is up to it, lest this way if he seeks a trade at seasons end his market value would have gone up.

Maybe with a clearly defined role and not roaming around the place Schoenmakers will play better. I'm a fan but I wonder whether the club bulked him up too much this season.
Earlier in the year, I had a theory that Hartung would be in to replace Suckers. There's not many teams that can deal with Smith & Hill together - add Hartung and we really give ourselves a transition that no-one could deal with.
The reason for replacing Suckers is that I see him as a key player in the transition, but a few teams worked him out earlier in the year; always tries to mark on his chest and is weak one-on-one, so play him close and he never gets the ball, and his contribution to transition is zero (add a few turnovers, and its negative). Even after the Sydney game, where he did a lot of good things, Lyons advised the other teams to go through Suckling.
In his defense, I think Suckling has changed his style in the last few weeks and become far more aggressive and penetrating, and is far faster than I thought. Thought he would struggle against Swans, but reckon he did well, but hard to tell because they let him run free. Still want to see how he goes with a tag - he will become a liability real quick unless he can use that speed to receive the ball safely and use that left foot.

Maybe roaming around the place was his role.
Suckling has played 2 of his best games for the year in the last 2 weeks, I think he has had a pretty good year to be honest and although I thought he would be on the fringe come finals time I do believe he has now secured himself a spot in the team, he may very well start as the sub if and when all players return.

It probably was. I don't know whether the coaches were happy with his game or not.

Paul Roos rant:
Paul Roos is continuing to con the footy world. Now the Demons are still affected by the tanking they did in 2009? They can't get the losing mentality out go their system?
When Melbourne won a game or two, Roosy was the coach of the year. He was teaching them how to win. When they lose a couple, it's not Roos fault, it's the players?
Hey, Roosy, you're an ordinary coach, mate! You had huge salary cap advantages in Sydney, and you played the ugliest football ever played. You can't fool everyone.
Just take the money and run.

Hawks need to find a team balance for this game where we can win convincingly and still rest some stars for the finals. Just hope the Paul Snoozeball style the Demons play gets badly exposed and we as a team can help kill off the gameplans that are killing our great game as a spectacle.
I here what you are saying but doubt there will be too many putting their hands up for a rest. Horses for courses against the Roos snooze so I suspect Clarko may go with quick hands and outside run to bust the game open early, so that means Mitchell, Lewis, Langford, Smith and Hill with Hartung sub. Simpkin and Woodward to have a spell. Shoey to play at true CHF and not the roaming decoy as he was Sunday. Back line unchanged and will be frugal against the rabble Roos calls his forward line - accordingly I'll be surprised if the Dees kick anymore goals than Dogs did...

The silence could mean a few things but I sense we should brace for some bad news. Either the initial scan has come back and they have requested a second scan / opinion or he hasn't had the scan yet because the swelling hasn't come down. I'm sure others could offer more optimistic reasons but I'm not feeling all that confident

Who else goes out? Tell us that?
Did you see how he played in tassie, he was very very poor, hardly got near the ball, with gun players coming back to the side he has to make way on that effort.
