More bad news for Collingwood - Daisy may miss season.

[Happy_Neale]

Being reported on twitter that Daisy will have surgery on his troublesome ankle and miss the rest of the year. At best will miss 4-6 apparently.

Really bad week for the pies with Fasolo being out for an extended period. Can they still finish top 4?\

Edit: link. Will keep an eye out for updates.

Can they still finish top 4?

I dont believe they will, no.

Time to tank

Time to tank

Would be slightly ironic given how you got Daisy in the first place...

 

[CF]

If Thomas goes out then I think their season is done. Just wont have the personnel to be a threat this year.

 

[Lord Eddard]

Gotta feel for the pies. Missed Ball a lot last year and this year. Now this

 

[BEEG]

Where copping it from everywhere atm but people seem to keep forget that if you have key injuries and players miss big chunks of the year its very hard to stay with the top few teams

This is Bigfooty though so i would not expect people to know that

Hawthorn and Geelong would seem to have their fair share of injuries as well.

Holy crap, Pies have no luck at all.

 

[FRUMPY]

maybe he should have signed last year. wont get the massive bucks he was hoping for after a stella 2013.

 

[Baldur]

It was a real eye opener when I saw the injury list on AFL 360 last night. Beginning to look like Fremantle a couple years ago.

True, it's a bad year for him to miss. He probably should have signed on for more than 2 years after his AA year in 2011, though I guess he was expecting to continue to improve and get a larger contract this year.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Will make his contract status very interesting at the end of the year, given that he is probably the one after Buddy who looks the most "gettable" of those who are very good and eligible for free agency this year.

Will another club still offer him the big bucks and if they do, will Collingwood try to get anywhere near it?

It may be like when Hawthorn took the punt and offered Joel Smith a heap of money after he did his knee really badly in 1997 and we weren't prepared to get anywhere near their offer, as he was such a risk.

 

[the distributer]

It is time to embrace the horror!!

I think we should write this year off, we aren't going to win the flag, may as well get as many games into the kids as possible, we've had 2 years from hell on the injury front.

 

[Primetime Pricey]

what a shit year for us and a great year for anyone that hates Collingwood.

 

[Pie in the Sky]

Only out for 2 weeks according to Collingwood twitter.

Maybe not as bad as first suspected -

INJURY UPDATE:
Collingwood midfielder Dale Thomas will miss the next two matches in the hope that he can overcome an injury to his right ankle.

You may be able to watch it all on your new 24hr TV channel though.

Without knowing a heap about it, this reads like if he isn't over it in two weeks then he'll be put in for surgery?

Yep, that.

 

[KrakFiend]

Will be more than 2 weeks... this injury has been haunting him since preseason (or earlier?).

Looking forward to an injury free 2014, lol...

Is that a reliable source?

I don't think anyone is arguing it's bad luck for the Pies this year. It happens.
