Preview Preview/changes - Round 3 v. Port Adelaide (Viney 200th)

[Topkent]

Yeah it's a bit different from when he did his eye cause you can't really punch him in the head to test out his eye socket. Don't love the idea of his ribs getting a work out just so we can be better odds for a match 5 weeks into the season.

If he plays an gets through unscathed he's a genuine savage. Plenty of blokes would miss longer with a turned ankle

 

[hammo24]

just let us win this week but you can happily smash crows next week thanks.

You won't get rid of Hinkley with that attitude.

 

[schmuttt]

Yeah no way we should be risking May, Port will go physical again and really test him out. We can win without him anyway .

 

[jhong]

I think Goodwin would of left the Casey game thinking no-one did enough to even warrant consideration . Hore will probably start so take your pick on who will be sub .

May
“At this stage, Steven will miss this week’s match against Port Adelaide. We will continue to monitor his pain and function following that, in the lead up to our Round 4 game.”

Lever
“Pleasingly, Jake has been cleared of major injury to his right knee. He, instead, looks to have irritated a joint under his kneecap,” Richardson said.

“We will see how he responds this week at training, but we are optimistic he will be available for Saturday night’s game in Adelaide.”

Thank god they’re not trying to get May in for the Port game. If we win that I reckon he’ll miss the Crows game too.

 

[mrmonkey]

It's not even about pain tolerance, it's public knowledge he's stuffed. If I'm an oppo coach im putting one on his head early and having someone go through him

Reminds me when Riewoldt ran out with a bad shoulder against Brisbane and he was immediately getting bumped from the Brisbane players.

 

[Dancing Potato]

I can only laugh at our ongoing failure to finally get Petty settled into the forward line.

He comes back for half a game and then we immediately lose May.

Lol that was such a different time
From about 1 min - 3mins. Roo gets cleaned up by Charman who probably gets 4 for it now and wasn't even a free kick, then does his AC going for a mark and gets mauled by Scott and Michael.

 

[Canary]

tbf Charman did get two weeks.

Charman rubbed out for two matches

Brisbane Lions ruckman Jamie Charman has been suspended for two matches at the AFL tribunal after being found guilty of charging St Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt during last Thursday night's spiteful round one match at the Gabba.

If I recall when we made the VFL grand Final against Footscray Lin Jong played with a bad shoulder, but they tapped the opposite shoulder. Throughout the day our ressies and Casey boys bumped and got stuck into his shoulder all game, unaware they where bumping the good shoulder the whole time

He would have to be jabbed up to his eyes balls and wearing a protecting vest under his jumper. Even then I dont think its worth it for the potential pain youd feel after a game when it wears off. Finals maybe, but for early in the season games you'd hope we let him recover and are able to win some game without him.

100% Could be good for some of the younger guys to not have May there for a couple of weeks. If they can defend as well as they did against Hawthorn for a few games that would be huge for their confidence.

Pretty sure flying with broken ribs sucks also, not exactly a long flight to Adelaide but youd hope they just let him sit these two weeks out.

how far off is McAdam?

I'm sure Joel Smith could have something for him to deal with the pain after the game.

Yeh then he gets another week off with the bye - I don’t think we rush him back for 1 game. He isn’t a spring chicken anymore and he’s too important for us.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

how far off is McAdam?

3-5 apparently.

 

[Proper Gander]

I take it back, proceed with a 100 point win.

[Proper Gander]

I mostly steer clear of this guy’s injury updates. Maybe he is a star in his field? But I have never listened to someone speak who gives me less confidence in his ability

 

[Lord Nev]

how far off is McAdam?

He was telling a supporter at training (from Demonland) that he was aiming for ANZAC Eve apparently.

Dave Misson says you're lying.

 

[TheBoss]

how far off is McAdam?

He is 2 weeks away from copping another 3 week injury.

Made of tissue paper.
