So anyone who is currently injured at the moment doesn’t have a return estimate, and listed simply as “unavailable”.

Not entirely helpful.

The detail is in the report.

Lewis’s hammy looks like a minor “awareness” issue.

That's good.

Gotcha - shouldn’t read it off the phone I guess.

 

[GinniAndTonic]

Why is McCabe still TBC?

Stress injuries are notoriously difficult to get a read on.
They originally said 3-4 months out and I reckon they've got TBC because it's v likely longer

I know this might sound strange but with his form this season you kind've hope that he just hasn't been 100%. IMO it's either that and this might sound weird too but could he be struggling with having so many new teammates in the forward line. In the past he's pretty much been the main presence up there and now he has Chol, Ginni and Wiz.

Explains the slow start to the season. Butler a certain in now with Breust and Watson out.

 

[lethalselbow]

So we started the year with Breust and Lewis both playing injured. Explains a lot.

What is unfair is many here now think Bruest is cooked and past it.
All because of a poor first few rounds.

If he wasn't 100%, I would have preferred they just get him right before he plays.

Sounds weird to say but I hope Breust actually has been playing hurt and this injury news isn’t just a cover for being over the hill

I just can’t accept he was injured round 1. What was the point of playing him if that was the case? Three weeks running to boot.

Hmm

It was glaringly obvious he was playing injured.
Dishing off set shots, tugging normal simple set shots in rd 1, zero lateral movement and less acceleration than normal.

 

[Gut Runner]

Makes no sense to pick Bruest if he has been injured whilst Butler had a great pre-season.

And then to do it 3 times in a row?? Looks like another selection error.

Reality is that players always have niggles

Some niggles are easier to carry than others.

Also depends on how many goals you’re kicking whilst carrying that niggle.

I feel the same, some of the decision made this year are odd.

Those injury reports are starting to look encouraging. We look like having one or two players coming available each week from R7 onwards.

I hope those taking to the field this week and next seize their current opportunity. By mid-season things could be very different.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

It's getting pretty comical with Lewis TBH. 2 weeks will end up 3-4 with his history. Wouldn't be confident we will see him when they say we will. Body is made of cardboard unfortunately. The others I'm feeling positive about especially Day.

 

[TylerDurden]

Great opportunity for Ramma. Take it son.

 

[Gut Runner]

I don't get the CJ injury - He went overseas to specialists to manage his hamstrings and then in the first practice match he does a hammy. Are they doing the same thing for his preparation?

Are they confident it will be OK?
