Re: Injury Update

I agree, I think Darcy will get delisted at seasons end.

Given the compromised draft I think you'll see Darcy given one more year. There are people in front of him to be delisted so I think he'll be safe.

Re: Injury Update

For his sake, I hope so but I can see Hirdy putting 4-6 players on the chopping block.

Re: Injury Update

When did Hibberd do his hammy? I thought he was only out with 'general soreness'?

Another hamstring - worried!

 

[daffo]

Re: Injury Update

I didn't know Hibberd did his hammy. That's disapointing.

Re: Injury Update

A couple of minor injuries from last nights flogging .

Hurley - apparently playing with severe blisters on his feet but he should be fine for next week.

Pears - left knee knock

Fletcher - late out this week but should be back for Collingwood.

Heppell - probably needs a rest

Watson - should return next week unless he re injured his hamstring.

Re: Injury Update

According to Game Day on 7, Pears may have a fractured fibula.

That'd be right.

I can't think of a time we've had all of Pears, Hooker and Fletcher available, let alone Hurley, let alone Gumbleton.

Hurley - apparently playing with severe blisters on his feet but he should be fine for next week.

Noticed that he didn't take any part in the pre game warm up. He looked like he was struggling to run in the 2nd half but still played well.

Heppel definitely needs a break.

3rd quarter against Richmond. started as a little tightness so went back on in the last quarter... Hindsight.

Re: Injury Update

It looks as though Hibberd and Watson have soft tissue injuries so they won't be back for a while.

Sauce on Watson?

Re: Injury Update

Jesus, that's nine of our best 22 out. On top of that we have had injuries to Fletch, Gumbleton, Stanton and Hurley through the year.

 

[vjknight]

Re: Injury Update

hey folks

i come in peace.

just a quick one - on our board theres a post saying that SEN have reported hurley is out - if this is the case what forward & defence talls do you have left outside the obvious ruck options ?

 

[daffo]

Re: Injury Update

Carlisle and Gumby up forward, Fletch down back, maybe play ryder as a forward or back and bring Bellchambers in.
Stocks are getting thin if Hurley doesn't play.

 

[Slattery_20]

Re: Injury Update

Thin? We'll be absolutely buggered if we don't have Hurley.

 

[daffo]

Re: Injury Update

I think we are buggered either way.

 

[Jesse Custer]

Re: Injury Update

pretty much daffo. If we can keep the margin around 5 goals i'll be happy as somebody could be after a loss.

Re: Injury Update

Stress gets to Hurley's foot

"Hurley's got a sore foot. It's a stress reaction, not a stress fracture," Hird said today.

"It's a bone in his foot, but not one of the significant ones.

"It might be two weeks, it might be three weeks. We will see how it goes. We want to make sure the heat comes out of his foot and he's not playing sore."

 

[BomberTime]

Re: Injury Update

Really hope the Bombers spend some of their money again in the off season and look for the best fitness and conditioning coach. Either within Australia or looking at other elite sporting codes and trying to poach someone from Europe or America. Year after year the injury list increases, its ridiculous and then they sack their fitness coach half way through the year...strange.

 

[yaco55]

Re: Injury Update

Pears, Hurley and Hocking with stress injuries in their feet.

Daniher a groin groin for 2 years.

Long a hammy for 2 years.

Something is drastically wrong with the fitness program - And has been wrong since 2008.

 

[George Washington]

Re: Injury Update

Gumby - Back, 5 years.

 

[smooth mover]

Re: Injury Update

Look injuries are a part of the game but i'm just absolutely sick & F*#%ing tired of our injury woes, & it hasn't just been for 1 or 2 seasons its been the last 5-6years!! With so much promising talent i would just love to have 1 season of no injuries let alone a few years!! Here's hoping???

 

[Strike Swiftly]

Re: Injury Update

This is bulls#@t!

 

[daffo]

Re: Injury Update

Last year we actually had a decent run with injuries. Before that we had a HORRIBLE run. 4 out of the last 5 years have been destroyed be injuries.

 

[Lotch]

Re: Injury Update

I will post the updated injury list and relevant articles after they are released this afternoon.



With Prismall's injury do you think we will promote a rookie for the remaining rounds?
