reckon groin soreness might see him miss this week

Yep, I thought he looked like he was struggling to run at times during yesterday's game. And I wasn't 100% convinced his groin was going to nail that last goal. Thank goodness it did tho.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

I thought he'd now been cleared

If that's the case, then that's great news....

Their presence didn't help him last week.

They've stayed too long and just become annoying Yanks.

Macrae is surely the one to be omitted. He was unsighted today. When i did see him in the last quarter, his outfit still looked like it was fresh out of the wash. Sullivan was far more prominent. No brainer for me - Macrae out.

Quick hands to give Pendles a perfect HB that he then gave and got back from JDG for a goal in the first QTR.
And great hands to recover in a marking contest to HB to Pendles who then passed to JDG I50 for a goal.
Shouting to Crisp he was being chased down, making Crisp duck and HB to ND to set up the JDG goals.

Just 3 moments in Finn’s performance you missed.

Real concern about Elliott. Think there's more to the story but the issue is complicated. Injury is not straight forward.

The language they’re using is very vague, it’s a unique problem and there’s no time frame. Fly said week by week, injury report said three weeks.

It can be read into a number of ways but my gut feel, on balance, is that Jamie’s injury is uncommon, unique and could see him out for an extended period.

Smockers gets a vibe and then commits to it as though he has a source. I gather the plan is that every now and again through sheer weight of numbers he’ll get one right, and so can claim omniscience.

I was right about Murphy …

Every man and his dog was right about Murphy.

Kappa thought he should retire, everyone else thought he should get the best possible medical advice and absolutely prioritise his long term health, and when he wasn’t doing contact training even when the H&A season had started, we all pretty much arrived at the realisation that he wasn’t coming back.

You are being alarmist - go and listen to Wade’s Video Injury update.
You’ll get some reassurance.

So then this goes back to the initial point raised: why was Kreuger then withdrawn from the VFL team as an emergency if he is deemed to still need to find form and match fitness?
I think there is no rational reason why Kreuger should not be selected to play a forward role in place of Reef.

I'm betting on him being sub. We're going back to future with our 2018 forward line - JDG at full forward with Cox and Checkers.

No alarmism but monitoring it. Wade wouldn’t tell us Elliott is retiring. They’re quite scripted and usually optimistic.

Carmichael is another I’m watching.

We all know Carmichael's had 3 concussions in less than a year & has missed multiple training sessions & games.

Any man & his dog could tell you his future doesn't look bright with the amount of players being forcibly retired by the AFL due to multiple concussions.

Are you sure this isn't another case of one of our blokes faking an injury?

But how is his groin? someone mentioned he was pointing at it on the bench.

My testicles are on the line.

TGG, I hate to rain on your parade here. But I am not sure your testicles are enough of an offering to get the club to change tack here.

I mean, as we all know, the prime age for a guy is exactly 32 years of age. After that time, a guy is on an accelerating downhill slope towards physical, mental, and especially sexual dissolution.

My better half for example is 36, but watching him trying to get his sexy groove on, it is kind of like watching a 58 year old Roger Moore as James Bond trying to sell being alluring to Grace Jones in a View to a Kill. Equal parts endearing and sad.

And beyond that age there comes the signs of complete decay; jathanas calves ; perverse food dislikes about pineapple, white tracksuit pants, feuds with your bin lady.

Not to say you can't play a role. I mean, we can cruise for hot undergrads, you driving, a hint of George Clooney silver fox, sophisticated and reassuring, while the stallion beside you gets to seal the deal. You can be my teaser pony. But once again, not sure your testicles are really necessary there.

So think of something else to give the club to signal your sincerity. I find cash works, as it does for most things.*

*my cover rates are very reasonable. special costumes are extra, poa. No weirdos.

It's not vague actually. It's a minor vascular issue. It's not significant. It's very treatable. He's on a modified training programme. They were Wade's words.

You're insinuating that he's lying..based on your gut feel.

I was a little worried about his groin yesterday. But I have no intel just my own observation. Slotting that goal made me a tad more confident.
