Knight a hard player to replace

[webbie]

I think we will have trouble filling the role he's been playing
Marty white is the only player for at the moment that plays hf mid

 

[KeilorUnder9s]

Im more concerned about the man himself then his replacement at the moment to be honest. Feel really sorry for him.

 

[LegendakaRICHO]

marty white? is he the new griggs?

 

[tunksy]

if it above 8 weeks we'll promote lonergan. pitty O'hanlon is injured too.

we have arnot, who is decent forward but needs to improve his goal kicking.
I think we'll just play an extra midfielder and rest people forward more.

 

[Dragonss]

NOOOOOOO!!!! KNIGHTAAA!!! can't get a bloody break

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

I hear that Marty White's a damn fine footballer.

Especially compared to that Matt White fellow.

 

[City Search]

Is Marty White a ruckman?

 

[jesterx]

Marty White actually went to school with Sean Griggs

 

[thecotch]

Isn't he the brother of Marty mcFly?

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Said on the coverage it could be 4-6 weeks which in the general scheme of things isn't bad - it looked like it could have been a lot longer!

I'd be inclined to give Azza a run up forward and let Titch play more midfield/half forward as he already has been going well in a similar role.

Marty White actually went to school with Sean Griggs

accompanied by their good mates Brett Delidio and Chris Smith

 

[Wallaby]

His rehab should consist of

1. Do the work required.
2. Be our goalkicking coach.

4-6 weeks would be great especially after how bad it looked when he did it, he deserves a break after all the injury problems he has had.

 

[RichoLedio]

Devastated for him

 

[Dusty Cotch]

Devastated for him

Yes likewise.
That was such a crucial goal at that stage.Thanks Chris.

 

[footy4ever]

oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hopeful for the 4-6 weeks scenario.

But what a goal! the leg has snapped in half at his knee..... and he still
steers it through for a goal.

The footy god is a ****!

 

[Infamy]

Looked like an 18-24 month job when he did it, reckon it looked way worse than Astbury's
Will be very lucky if it is just a dislocation with no ligament damage

 

[tigerz18]

has been one of our best players for the last month. Hope the injury is better than feared and he can come back in the second half of the yea to aid our run to the finals.

 

[Dustin Credible]

Feel for him, especially given all previous injury problems. But don't think he'll be that hard to replace. (though we may end up with a slightly different style in the forward line as it won't be a like for like replacement)

 

[Grockadoc]

According to Mark McVeigh, Knights is alright. It's Chris Smith who has done his knee.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

4-6 weeks is a good result for how it looked, it was nasty.
The bloke could use a break, he was just running himself into the best 18 I reckon.

 

[tugga]

Have heard whispers here in radelaide that it might only be a dislocation. Still bad, but better than an acl. Fingers crossed.

 

[footy4ever]

It's not much consolation but there's a lot of love on the adelaide board for Nighta in the 'Chris Nights ; It's official' thread.

It shows just how well liked and well respected he still is by Crows supporters.

 

[Dragonss]

I'm going to pray for him tonight.

Ruck school?
