[Bluelegs]

Fitzy. His form in the VFL over the past month has been sublime. Pretty much best on ground in every winning game. Good ruckman and a good target up forward.

Good thing he's not on the injury list then...

 

[syl]

God... terrible luck of late...

 

[LeverPuller]

That's seriously a quarter of our list.

 

[Demon JP]

Trust Mitch Clark to have gone down for the season when we have some 'winnable' games around the corner, Jurrah has been 2 weeks for a while now, anyone know what is going on there?

 

[lose]

well his court case is next week so I'm pretty sure I no wat he's concentrating on rite now

 

[RedLegs#5]

Honestly, get our full list (or close to) up and ready in 2013 and we should make a nice improvement. With some of those players in we could be knocking off a few sides with the way we've been playing. Fight on Dees!!!!!!!

 

[Bluelegs]

That's seriously a quarter of our list.

Name the players on our list who haven't been injured at some point this year.

 

[Demons2012]

Certainly some big names there. Thoughtbwith an all new fitness staff this might have been an issue of the past. Injuries have crippled us for the past 4-5 seasons.

 

[LeverPuller]

Uhh...jeez. Rivers. Magner. Sheahan. Fitz. Bate. Dunn. Howe? Technically JT. Cook I think?

Beyond that it's tough though.

Crazy. Even Jones has been injured this year, boy it's been terrible.

From memory Magner had an injury at some stage - a broken or dislocated finger maybe? Or am I losing it?

I don't think it caused him to miss though...

Oh and hands up if you were just massively relieved to not find Grimes on the list?

Yeah I was.
Has Garland been injured or is it just me?
McKenzie?
Blease hasn't been either IIRC...
Nicho?
JMac?

It's tough to keep up.

Bloody hell though. And most of them have been LTIs too - Taggert, Gawn, Spencer, Clark, Jetta, Bartram, Davey, Evans, LJ effectively...

Magner had that dislocated finger, Sheahan is injured this week and for the next 2 weeks, Fitz was diagnosed with diabetes, Cook missed the last part of the pre-season and first 4 rounds with a hip and groin complaint,

Bate, Blease, Davis, Dunn, Garland, Howe, Jmac, Nicho and Rivers are the only ones I can think of.

You can take Mckenzie off that list. Mystery injury of the week strikes again.

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Bloody ridiculous.

 

[Mighty P]

Hey guys, can any of you shed some light on Watts' injury? I thought he was supposed to be a good chance to come back this week.

Wasn't added to the side. Probably will return next week considering he was tested this week.

 

[Mighty P]

Ah okay, cheers. I hope he gets back next week, I really like the kid.

 

[rhaz]

Would've had his last test on.. tuesday or wednesday too, as the team travelled to Darwin early.

 

[Tulip]

Voted Spencer, but I really only want him to be given two games if he isn't exceptional.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

I find Watts' injury to be quite interesting.

I was just watching the piece on the MFC website about the altitude room and couldn't help but think that Jack was looking significantly bulkier now than he was two weeks ago - also he didn't appear to be in any trouble at all on the bike.

I also found it strange that he couldn't (in Neeld's words) 'get up' from a sprained ankle in the space of a week.

And now he's missing this week as well.

I've played the week after spraining an ankle, and that's without all the recovery work that goes into being a professional footballer.

My theory is that Jack may just come back against North Melbourne as a key forward.

Maybe wishful thinking... but I do think it's a bit strange.

No offence Puppet, but I'm not sure whether your sprained ankle was subjected to the same rigours as an AFL footballer's.

Still, an interesting theory. I don't think the extra week off isn't such a big deal if you consider the fact they had to leave early and have a special training regimen for playing in Darwin. If there was a chance he wasn't going to get up for the game they probably would have preferred to put the work into him in Melbourne than have all that travelling and other stuff that goes into a trip up there.

Even if he plays in the backline it'll be good to have him fresh and fit next week when all our other guys will be drained.

Haha, none taken Logger - I know it's not apples for apples but I still found it a bit strange.

No doubt.

As you say it may just be a chance to get some strength conditioning into him, either way it'll be good to have him putting on some size.
