No thankyou.

I guess the first 5-7 months is doing your own program

Then you start integrating

So I reckon by Feb he will be taking baby steps

Hopefully no set backs which can always happen

And that’s where I wonder if you’ve taken your baby steps just as everyone else returns then it’s easier to get the work into the legs. I know they’re diligent and professional, but it’s gotta be easier training with everyone else.

All of these would be cheapish trade options , not all would be available

We could spend bigger and target Zerk-Thatcher , Cox , Petty , Wilkie etc but don’t think we need / want to do that when we have other pressing needs

Harry Himmelberg would be nice as he’s a free agent and is also versatile so could end up in any part of the ground eventually , but don’t think he wants to come to Adelaide

How many weeks behind Doedee ? That will help if Doedee stays re Muz working with him

 

[spenze]

That's my understanding... Footywire has him out of contract year's end

He has too, sneaky bugger, all the dominoes falling in place for a wage increase

 

[kirky]

Its not just twelve months off but it takes more time to adjust to the footy tempo again.

Been a shit weekend all round.

Don't take this as gospel but doesn't like his brother that much. Have heard he doesn't rate him as a footballer and apparently used the term "list clogger' at the Xmas dinner table last year

 

[FR0GGY]

Let’s knock on Alex Rances door, just after we do Hardwicks

I think Harry will stay in sydney and will just be a matter of which sydney team he plays for

 

[Interloperer]

I don't understand the weird denial and minimisation out of the club between the injury and the scan results. Same thing happened with Walker's knee injury 10 years ago.

Is it for the player's sake?

 

[ams4crows]

Seriously why do the footy gods hate us so much??

They really really do not like us

Might have had something to do with Muz positivity

He wanted to go back on and also wanted to get up for the showdown

The docs obvs knew the knee was a bit unstable despite there not being much pain

Think Cox would be too expensive but he is a pre-agent so Freo might cash out but unlikely, Petty would probably be the one who it might suit both parties, Dees have mucked around with him since 2021, his partner is still in SA as well from memory, there’s that North Melbourne second rounder that the Crows can use.

 

[conVINCEd]

Devastating.

Concussions aside, this is the saddest I’ve ever been about a player injury. On par with Tex in 2013.

That’s not the worst idea , could prob live with that but no more

They rate him very highly however so not sure it would be that easy

How old is May ?

 

[BRL121]

Hopefully Butts rises to the challenge.

Must aggressively Get another KPD (not necessarily blue chip but can't just rely on Butts and others to play tall)

Hopefully not at the expense of our midfield goals.

*ing sad.

Let’s knock on Alex Rances door, just after we do Hardwicks

I'd support a move like that for a 12 month stop gap much more than trying to target someone on big coin.

 

[Owen_AFC97]

We are cursed

 

[Owen_AFC97]

Is Borlase a certainty to now debut? Tough ask coming up for him.

 

[MrBarry]

Maybe it's bias, but have we had most of the high profile ACL injuries over the last decade?

 

[BRL121]

I'd almost prefer we put Izak on ice, start his preseason earlier.

He won't be coming back for West Coast.

 

[MrBarry]

The positive of Murray is he doesn't really rely on turning speed, mainly runs in a straight line at the ball.

 

[Kickin Goals]

This f*ckin sucks, Muzz was quickly becoming my favourite player.
