Injuries & Suspensions - Reports & Discussion

[Hot Tiges]

Does anyone know what actually happened? What kind of injury was it?

Stiffness reported by FanFooty.. reckon it could be a re-occurrence.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Doc Larkins said on SEN possible season ending foot injury to the big fella.

I'll wait 'til the scans are done though, and pray like hell it's not that bad.

Does anyone know how many people traded Sandi IN this week?

 

[Ducky Tie]

He's having surgery this week which makes it at least four weeks says the Perth herald sun.

 

[J Squad]

Harvey and his crew must be feeling sick in their stomachs for rushing him back, should have kept going with Griffin.

Does anyone know how many people traded Sandi IN this week?

As of last week 122997 still had him.
I'll know tomorrow what the new figure is.

 

[silent butcher]

its bye bye sandi for me,will miss the rest of the year,but free up some johnny cashhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Biggie]

Feel for Sandi and Freo, but now my decision to trade him out the very first week seems vindicated.

Pity I used it on Joel Selwood, who is now Boyd

When I downgraded him two weeks ago, my soul intention was to get him back as soon as possible. With the given situation, I decided to upgrade Heppell instead of Z.Smith, as I thought Smith's scoring potential was higher. Hearing this news does come quite a shock to me, it leaves me thinking is Z.Smith is a keeper at R2? I have left myself a trade for this position, so it's a watch this space for me.

Supercoach aside, it's horrible news for both Sandi and Freo, as we know that they won't go anywhere without him in their side.

Wise man is wise.

Archaic rule is archaic

Have a look at the averages of rucks on TS. Just about all the rucks above Smith have question marks, whether it's competition returning (Goldstein, McEvoy), durability (Ottens), already owned (Cox, Petrie), not much form line (Kreuzer, Griffin), or just can't stay on the park (Mumford, Jolly).

I'm happy. Was fully intending to trade McEvoy for him with one of the few remaining trades, but a voice said to me , "you never know what will happen" , McEvoy was going no-where this week, Sandi was probably going down. I decided to wait. First time I used "Doctor Smith" in my team ( for those old enough to remember ). He was disapointing, but my opponent , "Dr Dream Team", had Paddy Ryder with 51, and I'm going to beat him so, yeah.

 

[Big Sledge #32]

From here on out Petrie/Cox looks like the most stable lineup but that probably leaves J Tippett on your forward bench.

Anyone else considering Griffin as a Sandi replacement? 4 very serviceable scores for Freo as his replacement so far, and surely he'll keep getting the games if Sandi is out long-tern?

It's crossed my mind, but a Sandi > Griffin trade only lets me upgrade one other slot and I get about 10 ppg over starting Smith. However a Sandi > Keeffe/whoever trade lets me do up to three upgrades if needed which can give me more points, e.g. Heppell > Shaw, Gilbert > Fyfe, etc (not saying those are my actual upgrades, but that'd be the result on the field) which would net me more.

 

[hawka187]

Listening to Dr.Larkins doesnt sound to optimistic for him, saying it could be out from a few weeks to a season

The thing is if you go Griffen, if Sandi does return Griffen gets dropped like he did this week.

 

[footyfan_25]

I stuck by Watson when he was last out for 3 weeks and since returning he has produced to scores under 100 and dropped some serious coin. Given he has now done the other hammy not sure if i'm willing to hold onto him for another 3 weeks and risk 2 dodgy hammys for the rest of the year. Anyone else got Watson and if so what's your plans with him? Is a premium when fit as evident by his 5 on the weekend from 33% game time.

 

[rocker_oz33]

^^l had Watson traded him out the first time he was injured pulled the trigger mainly cause he is a bomber.l thought it was a good idea to get rid of some players with a bye in SC finals.prob the best thing is to trade him out, bartel will be cheap after he plays he's next game but still has a bye at the start of SC finals.

I had to pull the trigger on Mundy a couple of weeks back so I guess that's why I held onto Watson. Bartel will be a cheap buy, but already got Enright, Chapman and Selwood so have to weigh it up as I don't want to load up with too many from one club.

Sandilands could miss the rest of the season

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...st-of-the-season/story-e6frf9jf-1226082409488

Sandilands will visit a foot expert in Melbourne today, with the Dockers likely to put him in for surgery after a recurrence of "turf toe" on Saturday night.

Leading medico Peter Larkins said yesterday Sandilands would be out for a minimum of eight weeks if he had surgery.

In his comeback match after a month out, Sandilands strained the ligament under the toe.

"If surgery goes ahead, it's unlikely he will get back. It's not impossible, but if he is out for eight weeks he will almost run out of time to have an impact this year," Larkins said.

Fremantle defender Luke McPharlin is set to miss at least two weeks with a groin strain after being subbed off.

Meanwhile, Collingwood's Alan Didak is considered doubtful for Sunday's match against Hawthorn after suffering calf soreness in Sydney on Saturday night.

"It looked like a calf injury. It may well be the ground or the week off but we had three or four guys cramp, which is very unusual at Round 14, to have guys come off with cramp," coach Mick Malthouse said.

"We thought that was the case with Alan, and then it stiffened up." and we have learnt lessons in regard to soft-tissue injuries and one was don't take risks. so we didn't risk him." Ralph

Re: Adcock injured :O

Is he back this week?

According to the Supercoach site he is, but that is very inaccurate.

Re: Adcock injured :O

More than likely Round 16.

Wait for injury lists to be released later today

Re: Adcock injured :O

Crazy Vossy said in the post-match press conference he was a likely inclusion this week.
