The Injured Player Thread

[trix17]

anyone know if ellis is expected back next week? thinking of trading gilbert instead of ellis, so i can afford higgins > davis/didak

 

[adelaide_40]

once again just as all year been cursed by injuries.

Bock, Chapman, Goddard, Grimes, all out this week.

Gilbert still out.

 

[Clunk]

It gets worse. AFL website:

ADELAIDE'S top-four prospects have been dealt a significant blow with centre half-back Nathan Bock ruled out of Saturday night's clash with Collingwood at AAMI Stadium.

The club has now confirmed Bock has a bursa – a sac of fluid – in his foot and not a bruised heel.
...
Adelaide coach Neil Craig said he was hopeful the All-Australian defender would be fit to take on Hawthorn at the MCG next week.
...

Dashing midfielder David Mackay is also likely to miss the all-important clash with Collingwood.

Mackay, who has missed two weeks with a hamstring strain, trained on Wednesday and was named in the 22-man-team but failed to get through the warm-up at training on Friday.

Fisher out! According to SEN

 

[BigSledge]

A bursa in the heel is what destroyed McLeod's season a few years back might be time to trade my favourite player...

fisher AND nicky dal in doubt according to heraldsun

fisher AND nicky dal in doubt according to heraldsun

This would well and truly screw me. I would have 8 zeros if these 2 pull out.

 

[footyfan_25]

Fisher won't play

[fryingpan]

Jesus christ.

Now all I need is for Dal Santo to pull out, Ablett, Selwood & Judd to be late withdrawals and I'll be scoring well under 1000.

 

[footyfan_25]

Anyone know how long Grimes is out for?

 

[OneEyedHawk]

Same. Is virtually tanking/list management time for me if Nicky Dal pulls the pin.

For whatever the hell this is worth, Mark Doran on SEN said earlier today that he'd (almost) bet his kids' lives that Nicky Dal & Fisher won't play. Has already been proven right with Fisher...

 

[dlanod]

I think I have four playing backmen. Might as well concede defeat and hold on to my trade until next week and see who comes back.

 

[Derogue]

this is getting beyond a joke, with bock out i have 5 zeros, and whats worse is my opponent doesnt have goodard,roo or bock so he has nearly a full squad.

looks like im using my last 2 trades.

 

[Pedsy]

I upgraded taylor to bock last week...

Ths Bursa crap.. gonna miss more weeks from it?

That's what pissing me off. The most important week of the season thus far, and teams get rewarded for having shit teams. My mate has a great squad, somehow contrived to finish 5th, and is playing a team with NONE of the injured guns this week. Is almost certain to get knocked straight out.

 

[Beardown1023]

I just heard Selwood and Johnson may be out...

[Bomber4ever]

I've got Bock and Grimes, one of them will have to go for Drummond. Who do you think will be out longer?

 

[Waspy79]

Who will be out the longest out of Gilbert, Goddard and Grimes? (the three Gees)

 

[NT.Thunder]

Any news on players from the RND 19 nightmare.....

Goddard, NDS, Fisher, Hayes, Montagna, Sewell, Roo, Grimes, Chappy..aaaarrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhh it's killing me!!!

I wouldnt be surprised to see Gablett and Selwood miss this week.

I think NDS/Sewell/Roo may play however the others i'm not sure about.

Did Jolly injure his AC joint this week, Is he a chance to miss cats clash?

Did Hmac sustain an injury?

 

[footyfan_25]

Roo will come back in.

Doc Larkins said on the Sunday Footy Show that there was some doubt over Sewell.

Mcintosh got injured early in the game but came back on and played it out.. spent a bit of time up forward but didn't appear to be too be serious.

I doubt both Ablett and Selwood will miss. We are going to have a fair few other outs so I think Selwood will have to play. I'd expect Ablett to miss, though.

Why will Ablett miss?

 

[RWnBluey]

Im straight thought to the prelims so if anyone missess lets hope it happens this week
