Doesn't look like Mr Jones will be back anytime soon.
Apparently Oscar Allen hurt his knee. He finished the game on the bench.

He went down to the rooms late in the game and didn’t return - haven’t heard what it actually was

What is truly uncanny at the moment is the correlation at West Coast between playing well and getting injured. (Jack Darling being the exception that proves the rule). If you play well, you get injured, frequently in the same game where you're playing well and usually with some sort of horrible long term problem.
- - Duggan has been amongst our best these past few weeks, JJ was one of the few players having a decent year and was about our best on ground early against Hawthorn. Anddd- they're done.
- Cripps started the year in excellent form, had a huge game against GWS and was brilliant early against Freo- bam.
- Shuey- great early against Freo, gone. Comes back, great early against Port, oops, bye.
- our standout preseason performer, Yeo, injured before the first game. Comes back, quiet week down back, then goes into the midfield in the second half against the cats.. one very good quarter and...bye.
- Jai Culley - Rising Star Nomination, two weeks later.. see you in 2023.
- SPS was just starting to find some very nice form- cya mate.
When you look at the catalogue of the bizarre ways people are getting hurt, there's no rhyme or reason to it- Shuey is old and injury prone, but there are impact injuries in there, serious knee injuries, syndesmosis, Tom Barrass missed this week with the flu, and SPS' calf clean exploded, old players, young players, guys in their prime, it makes no sense. And meanwhile most of the spuds seems impervious to injury- Gaff keeps plodding along like he's intent on playing 23 trash games, and Bailey Williams has played every game.
When you put to one side just how ****ing miserable it has made things and just step back and look at it objectively, it is truly bizarre- you could follow a football team all your life and not experience anything quite so horrific as the last two years at West Coast.

I would agree in isolation, but there's something rotten leading to the frequency. As you said, it's too many to be all bad luck. My theory is that it is much more likely you get injured when fatigued. Last year the team was unfit which explains the issue. This year we got hit with some bad luck in rnd 3 (combined with stupid mismanagement of Ryan and Gov) and them we started chasing our tail and rushing guys back, who got injured etc etc.
Chesser's knee was the prime example to me. The guy was struggling to get into the game and then threw himself in recklessly and got his knee twisted.

So anyone due back this week ...
Burgiel
Yeo (maybe)
Hurn (maybe)
Jack Williams is available for the WAFL team again
Then it's yet another mistake by the club. They need to admit where they are and only play fit players. Players coming back from major injury start with a few weeks of managed minutes in the WAFL.
If this means they don't have 22 for the 1s, then ring the AFL and tell them to sort it out. That's the only way the message will get through to HQ about how stuffed we are.
Putting on a brave face just leads to more injuries, more floggings and more external pressure.

JJ did his syndesmosis on his right ankle in 2021, a similar sort of incident where it got caught in a tackle.
He'd know what it feels like, and judging by his reaction on the bench yesterday after injuring his left ankle, it doesn't bode well.
Hopefully not as bad as it seems.

Independent - an interesting word.
The claim from King Nissie I is along the lines of how we do a review every 2 years.
I do not doubt the fact but question whether there is any independence. An independent review by its very name should be undertaken by someone outside of the club. Otherwise it is not independent.
Our situation at WCE - The CEO will do an independent review of the performance of Toddy!!!! And the findings will go to the stooges on the board that King Nissie I appointed.

Lol...
Allen's been carrying a knee injury since late in the Richmond game. Pretty brave (or foolish) for him to be soldering on in the last couple of weeks.
