Looks like Fiorini hasn't healed up and had had surgery. Could be gone for the year.
What was his issue again??

Hot spot somewhere on his leg? I don't think they were very specific with it.

Bummer about Fiorini. On one hand, you wish the club would be more up front with injuries, which is actually one of the questions on the current afl.com survey. But on the other hand, they are right to keep things confidential, especially of opponents were able to exploit the injury such as fractured ribs or damaged knees. There was a "Bounty" case in the NFL where the defensive players were given bonuses if they could inflict injuries on opposing players, which is absolutely disgusting and should have no part of our game. Yet, if you know your opposition's players have injuries of the nature that can be targeted, why wouldn't you push things? Even just injuries that have that unknown time frame, you don't exactly want to advertise how your player can be taken out because that temptation is there.
I saw on AFL 360 this week that we once again lead the AFL for injuries with 13.
That will do me-enough is enough, Justin Cordy has been a disaster.
Sack Cordy and Team.

We can't just always assume sacking people is the answer to everything. No successful business or sports team was built off that.
There are so many variables to this issue that need to be determined before you can come to such a conclusion.
Sorry Bods I love your posting but I'm becoming so sick of the 'sack him', 'delist him' attitude to all our problems in this board. Things are sometimes that simple but often they aren't.

Thanks for the nice words and I do like your work too Mr but I do think we seem to have a big problem here.
We are the AFL leader every year in sidelined players.
I put it down to bad luck but I’m starting to think it’s not entirely bad luck.
I was being a little bit flippant though but not entirely either.

Everybody can entitled to their opinion , if there is no improvement sometime using different method is the best solution .
Edema in lower left leg according to Suns injury report round 8.
After the week off that injury number will drop by a fair bit. Also injuries like Lemmens broken hand are hardly the conditioning teams fault. That is just bad luck. Ankles, Shoulders, Hamstrings and calves, they are stuff that can be controlled and managed.

Gold Coast skipper Tom Lynch is firming as a strong chance to lead the SUNS on to Metricon Stadium for the first time in 2018.
The key forward, who has missed the last three games with a knee injury, trained strongly on Monday and is pressing his case for selection against Geelong.
General Manager – Football Operations, Jon Haines, told the Alpha Sport Injury Update that Lynch is nearing the end of his rehabilitation period.
“It’s terrific. Tom trained really well yesterday and reported that he’s feeling as good as he’s felt in a long while,” he said.
“That’s a really strong tick for the rehab that he’s been undertaking and subject to him getting through training today and tomorrow, he’ll be right to play on the weekend."
A hamstring injury to wingman Matt Rosa in Gold Coast’s last game before the bye could see him miss the next month of football.
The 31-year-old was a late inclusion for the SUNS against Port Adelaide, however was unable to see out the match after suffering the injury in the second term.
“It looks like a 3-4 week injury at the moment but given his history, we’ll take a reasonably conservative approach with that,” Haines said.
Young midfielder Brayden Fiorini’s stint in rehab has been extended, having experienced a setback in his recovery from a leg injury.
“He had some irritation with the tibial oedema that he had, so he went back in and the surgeon has had a look at it and just removed some really small spurs from the area,” Haines said.
“That’s extended his rehabilitation period from 4-6 weeks to 6-8 weeks.
“Unfortunate for Brayden, but we’re really glad we’ve been able to get onto it early and set him up for the back half of the year.”
A number of other SUNS will be aiming to move out of the rehab group this week and put their hand up for selection.
Local product Jesse Joyce has recovered well from the corked quad that has forced him to miss the past two games, while Jesse Lonergan is back into full training.
Should they get through training unscathed, both players will be available to play at some level this weekend.
“Jesse (Joyce) missed last week due to a cork but he’s been recovering really well,” Haines said.
“(Lonergan) undertaken a similar period of rehabilitation to Tom (Lynch) and a similar program, and he’s tracking really well.
“Subject to him getting through training tomorrow, he should be available for selection.”
Sean Lemmens, who on Friday penned a contract extension with the SUNS, is nearing a return to the field after an injury interrupted start to the season.
The small forward was showing some impressive signs during the pre-season, before a fractured wrist halted his momentum.
“He needs to have another scan today to confirm that the healing is at a satisfactory level,” Haines said.
“If the healing has occurred, as we’re really hopeful that it has, he’ll be available for selection this weekend.”

I think Day down back and 2MP next to Lynch will cover that OK
Agreed. I wasn't a big fan of Day down back in the past because he only really worked when he was a spare man but Leslie hasn't excited me and i need my 2MP fix.

FEARS FOR KOLODJASHNIJ FUTURE
THERE are fears for the future of Gold Coast’s Kade Kolodjashnij as he prepares to meet with a specialist in Melbourne today after suffering a string of concussions in the past 12 months.
Kolodjashnij, 22, has not played for the Suns since Round 4.
His brother Jake, who plays for Geelong, said it had been a difficult year for the defender.
“It’s been a bit of an up-and-down ride for Kade actually,” Jake said.
“He was going really good sort of early stages of the year and then he got a couple of minor hits. Because of his history that’s actually really upsetting his head.
“He’s about to see the specialist today in Melbourne so I’m going to catch up with him tonight and see where he’s at with his head. Fingers crossed it all goes good for him but there might be some conversations with him, where he’s at.”
Asked if the issues were having an effect on Kade’s confidence to play again, Jake said that was a factor.
“I think so,” he said on RSN 927.
“It’s a pretty serious conversation I guess. You don’t want to muck around with the head. I think the helmet did help when he initially came back, just working into the contest and those situations where you have to go back with the flight. Hopefully he can work through all this and he can come out and play some good footy next year.”
Kade was taken by the Suns with pick 5 in the 2013 National Draft.
