The Injured Player Thread

[abakus]

Whats the go with Mitch Clarke?

 

[Waspy79]

Is Hodge injured? He spent a bit of time off the ground in the last quarter today when the game was still in the balance.

Lifted from realfooty.com.au on Monday 3rd August....

The injury wrap after the completion of round 18 in the AFL 2009 season.
Bret Thornton (Carlton), shoulder
Bruised AC joint in collision with Paul Bower. X-rays showed no fracture. In doubt for this week.
Paul Bower (Carlton), knee
Bruised knee in first-quarter collision with Thornton. Should be right to play.
Leigh Harding (Nth Melbourne), hamstring
Second-degree right hamstring tear. Will miss 2-3 weeks.
Matthew Richardson (Richmond), hamstring
Played 10 minutes in the VFL before coming off with hamstring tightness. Will have scans today; injury not thought to be serious.
Craig Bird (Sydney), shoulder
AC joint injury. Likely to miss one week.
Ryan O'Keefe (Sydney), ribs
Bruised ribs late in Saturday night’s game. May miss a week.
Steven King (St Kilda), shoulder
"Popped" his shoulder early in third quarter. Will probably be OK but susceptible to recurrences.
Simon Prestigiacomo (Coll), concussion
Tests this week; likely to play.
Stefan Martin (Melbourne), calf
Corked calf should not keep him out.
Matthew Whelan (Melbourne), foot
On and off with foot problem yesterday. May be forced to miss a match.
Jamie Bennell (Melbourne), knee
Knee injury will require scans today.
POSSIBLE RETURNS THIS WEEK
Daniel Bradshaw (Brisbane Lions), hamstring

ROK could be the big news missing a week.

 

[cooolas8]

hope he does. most of my league has him!

 

[Ex President]

I wouldn't take too much notice of the realfooty report. They had Judd as being out last week. Will wait for the REAL news to filter through the AFL website.

 

[Jukes]

OKeefe went back on the field so I wouldn't be too worried.

Any news on Gilbert?

 

[trix17]

id love some news on gilbert, is he expected back this week?

 

[Koutafidamedis]

Still can't find anything on Jolly.... Knew I should of just went for Mitch Clark instead...

 

[Jukes]

Jolly is having scans today. Like OKeefe, he seemed OK to play out the game so I wouldn't be too concerned.

From http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/rf...nt-swans/2009/08/02/1249152508788.html?page=2

"The consequence of Saturday night’s intense encounter was an inevitable mass of bumps and bruises, with Craig Bird (shoulder), Ryan O’Keefe (back/ribs) and Darren Jolly (hamstring) all potential concerns.

However, Bolton said all three looked a good chance of backing up against the Tigers.

‘‘I think they’ve all come up OK,’’ he said. ‘‘It was a tough match and it’s no surprise that with the amount of pressure there will be a few sore bodies this week.’’"

Good news for some, though I wouldn't be upset if Jolly gets up and ROK doesn't...

 

[Felixes Felines]

Has anybody got anything on Big Cox? With WC now out of the race for a priority pick, could the big fella play a game or two?

I will not be upset if Jolly is out, but certainly pissed if ROK is out this week.

Latest on the Swan's injury front.

 

[tbanger]

Grimes is listed as "hip (test)" on the latest injury list: http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/82046/default.aspx

Any idea if he's likely to miss?

 

[Jukes]

Probably. If not the Dees will put him in the ruck where he'll score 40 points.

Dangerfield out of Pies clash if any1 cares.

Is going to be thin on the ground this w/e i think.

 

[sblack]

Apparently some big name Saints might be 'injured' this week.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Riewoldt injured?

WTF is wrong with Riewoldt? First I have heard of this.

Gilbert can stay out for a few more weeks for all I care. LOL!

 

[deuce]

There should be a bin option near the end of the season where when you've run out of trades, you can dump your long term injury players or crap players not getting a game.

Are you sure you want to empty trash and all 4 of these players?

Petrenko, Muston, Meeson, Mckernan

Yes or Cancel


I'm sick of looking at them...

[dlanod]

Yeah I went from having a playing backup in my backline to being two down with Ellis, Goddard and Grimes all out. Not to mention Chapman forward and his obvious replacement in Reiwoldt also out.

 

[dUkezz]

yep and to think i was pissed for losing chappy, condolences to those who have just lost riewoldt goddard hayes montagna etc

 

[Windas_Magic]

WTF!!!!

I'm gonna have 6 players out of my team (all stars)!!!

 

[Judd_Magic]

I have Goddard, Grimes and Riewoldt out but amazingly will only be playing with one dounut if Rance doesn't make ther cut from the extended interchange bench.

 

[Purrfect Pussies]

Happy to have dodged a few bullets this week. Only Roo and Chappy out with Walker and Brown to cover.

My Opponent in my cash league qualifying final has :

Goddard, Adcock, Grimes, Schammer?, Salopek, Riewoldt, Chappy, Sidebottom, Ballantyne and Lovett out.

Ouch! Can anyone beat this?
