When did Nicoski get ruled out as well?

A slightly concerning start to the year, up to mid season we have a pretty good draw apart from the first two games, when it looks like we'll be quite undermanned.

Hawks will be a little undermanned too , i would be more worried about round 4 with the Blues here.

Well we do have Le cras and Cripps to fit into the side, Brennan could play further up field as can Ash Smith. Not even mentioned Morton or Dick / Nicoski / Hams who could come into the forward pocket and release Hill onto the wing.

This is where our developing depth will shine people. Rosa comes in slowly and instead of missing finals he misses the start of a long season.

Wasn't Rosa supposed to be fine about two days ago?

 

[Natho]

Well that sucks

 

[Matera92]

Boooo hisss

 

[joeyavalanche]

Not the flashiest of players but rosa is a steady cog in our team and we are weaker without it, lets hope it's just the 6 weeks

I'm glad I passed over him in my DT draft. Luckily someone else picked him before my next pick.

All these injuries are starting to smell like last year all over >.<

As disappointing as it is, why are so many people surprised that we are getting injuries?

Not so much the amount of injuries, just that it's confined to our midfield...the most important area of the ground.

Naitanui, Kerr, Rosa, Wellingham, Masten (hopefully ok). All part of our midfield

Compartment syndrome, yikes.

 

[Chris_6678]

What is that exactly? is it a really bad injury.

lucky its not last year then otherwise we would have swift,stevens and dalziell playing round 1 .Altho i think razzle could be some sort of chance after some strong form

Andrew Embley will be available for round one after suffering a hamstring injury in the second round of the NAB Cup, while midfielder Chris Masten has been cleared of injury after missing last Saturday's clash against Port Adelaide.​

Thank god.

It's a really bad result from an injury.
The tissue around the injury swells and prevents blood flow to the affected area, and if left untreated cells in the area begin to die off.
The procedure is horrible that is required to fix it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasciotomy
I am assuming that is what he had if it required surgery.

Why the hell did I look at that while I was eating lunch...

Considering the alternative is amputation I'm more than happy to give him six weeks off.

 

[Dk is back for now]

Our list is so injury prone it's not funny i stated this before i got banned if we aren't healthy we won't win it.

These are our injury prone players:
Mark Nicoski been in the system for a decade and is always injured
Andrew Embley bum shoulder now leg injuries
Daniel Kerr, well his always going to be banged up due to his reckless abandon game
Beau Waters, wasn't announced captain because the reality is he will never play every game in a season
Dean Cox been healthy last few seasons though
Nic Naitanui will always have injuries due to his high flying game
Adam Selwood always concussed
Mark Lecras done his knee and groin in a 12 month span
Matt Rosa always injured
Brad Dick never healthy
Josh Kennedy starting to get injured a lot
Chris Masten
Mitch Brown broke the record for the quickest substitute against richmond due to a poked eye....
Brad Shepphard
Sam Buttler


All these guys get injured so often, you can even add Glass in there. Most of those guys are in the best 22 and a quarter of em this time in september will be injured!

Altitude sickness and the like?
