Double ouch. Devistated for Knights, ill admit I doubted he would offer us much but has proven he's still got game.

Tucky will be a big out too. How long before Conca is back???

Hello Sam Lonergan.

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

On a positive note, I think both players can be covered.
Both big losses, but this is what our off-season recruiting was all about was it not?

Time to see this depth we've all been talking about.

Shame about Tucky and Knighta! Really wish them all the best and a speedy recovery! Hopefully Sam Lonergan can be promoted and really impact when he's in the senior side! In saying that I would really like to see Matty Arnott given a few games ahead of him though to see if he has what it takes then if not, bring Sam in

 

[Riskingheadandshin]

Arrrghh sh!t. That's taken a bit of the gloss off the win..

Need Conca back ASAP.

Wonder if Lonergan gets elevated?

This will REALLY test our depth...

With who??

We'll really struggle to play finals with Tuck out so long unless Foley fully hits his stride again, Conca returns very soon and Vlastuin keeps going better than expected in terms of running out games.

Massive downer for the season.

 

[blaisee]

all pre-season we have been talking about depth, and we recruited for depth.

Lonergan, and Arnott, will both get their opportunities now you would think.

In past years in would have been Clinton King and Ben Hollands or Tim Fleming.

Hopefully these guys make a better fist of it

Can't believe Tuck managed to continue playing, that's some real pain tolerance and hard work

you'd think he or arnot would play

 

[sante]

Terrible news. I'd like to see Arnot given a game.

 

[Bojangles17]

you'd think he or arnot would play

I reckon Dea is pretty close, he s been very good at vfl

 

[bananatigz]

feel really bad for both these guys, especially knights, was starting to get a real good feeling about him has worked so hard to get back and have no doubt he will again, isn't as old as i thought

Tucky you brave little bugger, played a quarter with a fractured shoulder, his game showed his importance to us, will be missed, needs concs back asap

 

[bananatigz]

I reckon Dea is pretty close, he s been very good at vfl

If cotch comes back then have no problem with that at all, if he doesn't however i think there's a need for another inside mid

 

[mellowyellow]

Tucks loss is huge and will be hard to cover

 

[turtle27]

I don't think I've ever heard of a player getting a fractured shoulder blade. Such a pity for Knights, and of course Tucky.

 

[Crow_Sting]

Devastated for Knights. Always been a fan. Bloke can't catch a break. All the best to the kid. Hopefully Tucky back ASAP.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Damn, both will be big outs.

 

[_Wang_]

No good..

 

[TheProwler]

Sort of takes the gloss off the weekend now!

 

[Wood_Duck]

Really horrible news for Knights. Was really happy for him that he was going well. This poor guy has had a terrible run.
