[daveyjaye]

[footyfan_25]

Watson out for next 2-3 weeks.

I only traded him in last week

But not all bad news being a Richmond supporter

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Watson with bye next week is helpful.

Might have to ride this one out

 

[caMoGFC]

trade him in last week over selwood (was scared of getting too many cats) and boyd (was going to wait for him to drop a little as he seemed a bit too expensive for same points output as jobe) and not only does watsons score get shat on by both since he got the sub jacket but now he's out til round 12!!!!!

this sc season can get ****ed. seriously getting over it now....nothing but bad luck every week for the past 4

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Mate, just burn them trades and hope for the best. Go for broke

Cheer up at least your real footy team is going OK. My DT is going fine but I know what I'd prefer.

lol yeh....i basically have to ride this injury out which sucks as my team on field this week was starting to look ridiculous with him on field and higgins almost certain to be back

more important areas i need to focus on now than my midfield....
will need bewick thumbsd:) to cover this week but harris will be able to cover for him after this week so not that bad of a cover player.

haha yeh i'm just havin a sook for the sake of having a sook

but you're right...can't really complain about those catters atm

TENDAI Mzungu could be rushed into the Fremantle team to play Port Adelaide on Saturday in his first game back from a knee injury.

Jolly looks like he could miss a few more round 14!

Worrying also for my Pies Mids with Pendles and Swans numbers on the decrease when Jolly doesnt play. They do have some pretty good stoppage plays and I'm not sure it all clicks with Wood.

Hurry Back Jolly!

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Is Kerr any chance to play?

Opponent had him playing with Bewick the sub!

 

[reddahaydn]

pendles and swan will be back up again this week against the crows mate.

 

[DrummoSolo]

Sandilands came off mid last quarter with a sore foot. Might be one to monitor over the week.

 

[dlanod]

Swan's definitely carrying injuries and might be sent to Arizona for recuperation and a week off.

COLLINGWOOD is planning to send up to five players to the US mid-season to accelerate their recovery from injury for the run into the finals series.

Star midfielder Dane Swan, No.1 ruckman Darren Jolly and premiership key defender Nathan Brown will be in the party that will return to the club's pre-season altitude camp in Arizona for an intensive rehabilitation program.

...

Swan, who has been relatively quiet for three weeks, is battling injuries including a quadriceps problem

...

It will coincide with Collingwood's week off after the Round 12 Queen's Birthday engagement with Melbourne at the MCG on June 13.

Given the conventional wisdom that players need to spend 12 days at the altitude camp to achieve the maximum benefits, those travelling would be unlikely to play against Sydney in Sydney on June 25 in Round 14.

[SHAKESPEARE]

And the C comes off.

Watch the bastard score 170+ this week. Just watch.

 

[TOOs_Finest]

Sore Swan to play

COLLINGWOOD onballer Dane Swan will take a niggling thigh injury into Sunday's game against West Coast, but Pies' coach Mick Malthouse says that scenario is the norm rather than the exception in today's AFL.

Not exactly filling me with enthusiasm about keeping him as captain. Wouldn't be surprised if he's a late withdrawal. Wouldn't be the first time Mick's told a fib

But yeah, what shakespeare said... will score 170+ now

 

[Daniels]

Apparently Swan only walked laps at training today... yikes!

[G-Mo77]

You mean I'm going to have to find someone else to play captain.

You mean I'm going to have to find someone else to play captain.

Shit load of options out there.

 

[Biggie]

From Collingwood

DANE Swan is likely to miss his first game in almost five years.
The dual all-Australian and winner of the last the Copeland trophies, the 26-year-old mid-fielder missed training on Tuesday and only walked laps in at the main session at Gosch's Paddock yesterday, putting him serious doubt for Sunday's MCG showdown with West Coast Eagles

Anybody have any idea on who is likely to be the longerterm injury between Jobe and Rockliffe?

 

[Parasite]

Jobe. 4+ I think, rock minor calf 1-2

 

[Ed_Gein]

Yikes. Reckon i might have to put 2 emergencies in the middle. Bit of concern surrounding Judd and Swan at the minute. Since i have no cover in defense this week thanks to Enright pulling out and Heppell having the bye, 2 emergencies in the middle is no problem.
