Injuries & Suspensions - Reports & Discussion

[Big Sledge #32]

Sorry Big Sledge, just really got to me that game. Crows attack on the footy lacked some real gutso and was to me something you would expect from a team that was on the bottom of the ladder come round 22 just wanting the season to end.

They have some great players, but something is really missing.

I know it was the worst showing I've ever seen by the club. Something seems off, sure there have been a lot of injuries but that doesn't explain the lack of heart I saw out there on Sunday.

Broughton to Grimes?

But seriously you've stuck with him for 7 rounds. Can't see him getting back to anything near 100. I bit the bullet in DT after 3 rounds.

I'd go Shaw over Newman. Richmond won't play that well every week.

I'm thinking of trading Grimes for Shaw, but Daniel Pratt looks like he might be worth a punt at the moment.

Same article says Curnow out for four weeks.

St Kilda midfielder Montagna to miss one week for bump on Carlton's Ed Curnow

Bitter pill to swallow when one of your 'premium' midfielders gets suspended for bumping one of your already injured midfielders.

quote - "Despite finishing the game on the bench icing an injured calf, Thompson said he expected to be fit for the match against Gold Coast next Sunday at AAMI Stadium."

I thought I read somewhere Rioli is good to go?

There goes another trade

There goes another trade

Even if he was only out for the bye I would get rid of him this week.

He will have 15 in his average for the next 2 weeks.

B/E of 120 next time he plays...

Yeah true but I had him as a keeper or luxury upgrade depending on how bad the end of year carnage is. If the start of the year is anything to judge by, it's gonna be a long season and even with the extra trades, we'll be eating multiple donuts in the late rounds

 

[J6shSC]

Would've been nice for Curnow to be a keeper, but this is why you save trades for injuries. At least he and Grimes won't be losing value on the bench, might keep one there for an extra week.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Unsure of whether you can keep someone averaging 90 in your midfield.

 

[J6shSC]

That's fairly irrelevant seeing as he was averaging 100 before last night.

How far away is Tendai Mzungu?

 

[Judd_Magic]

How far away is Tendai Mzungu?

2 weeks away with his knee injury according to the injury list.

But then he will have to get match fitness in the WAFL so add another 2-3 weeks to that.

5 weeks all up I reckon is when he will be selected.

Agreed it's also every second week one of your Back premiums has the responsibility of curbing one of your other players influence (Gibbs/Goodes, Lids/Goddard & Gibbs/Goddard).

You mean Gibbs/PlayerX, Gibbs/PlayerY, Gibbs/Gibbs...... Ratten is really sh*tting me atm.

My team should be renamed Johnson and Johnson it has so many Band Aids. Yeah I've got Grimes so problems there but I've also got Batchelor and Broughton with Band aids as well, not to mention Rioli.

Does anyone know what is up with Broughton and Batchelor? I can't afford to have three wounded defenders in my league match.

batchelor - dont think he is injured, that band aid was from 2 weeks ago - he needs to play and keep cashing up nicley - in 3/4 weeks he and lower say goodbye and become delidio.

now that is good news, combine that with Mzungu and the downgrade options in a month or so start to look a lot better

 

[GotTheGoodes]

I've just noticed in this weeks teams Daniel Harris is out with a 'hip'.

I've just noticed in this weeks teams Daniel Harris is out with a 'hip'.

Hopefully just soreness?

 

[mwalker]

There will be plenty of hurting ppl now.

Harris/Grimes/Curnow/Jamar/Montagna all out. Plus the Carlton bye must have a few of us in a little trouble (Judd/Murphy/Duigan/Gibbs)

I have 5 of those 9. Was looking to upgrade this week anyways so it is just a matter of who I guess.

 

[Daniels]

Any word on Fyfe if he will be right this week?
