[Bonz]

The 21-year-old forward will miss the Swans’ next two clashes against Essendon and Adelaide, and will be reassessed during the club’s round 12 bye.

Now will Walsh or White finally step up?

 

[Punts]

Great FFS

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

How is Towers/Membrey coming along would prefer to try with the future rather than White/Walsh.

i doubt it. but id rather see Walsh in the team. White has had way too many chances!

And yet, White is the better of the 2 for a roaming\forward position ATM.

Unfortunately this injury also ties Goodes more into a forward role than a mobile one IMO.

Membrey has been struggling with an hamstring injury recently.

Whilst Towers isn't a key position player... And his reserves from from reports hasn't been amazing.

Towers is neither a forward nor a key position player. Membrey only just came back from a hamstring injury but prior to that his last few games weren't as good as his first couple of the year.

id rather see Walsh playing a leading full forward role and Goodes playing Sam's role, CHF pushing up the field.

I really don't think that has been established at all.

Excellent timing for the bye, hopefully gives a crucial extra week off to the likes of Reid/Shaw/LRT and means we can get them back for the Port game

 

[MVP_PaulRoos]

Always prefer the club make a conservative decision in these cases and I'm glad we're not trying to rush him back like St Kilda did with Hayes in their last game. Just have to get through the next two games and then hopefully we'll get most of our guys back.

 

[Abbottsarmy]

Never fear Mitch Mortons hear!!! Poor Reidy :-(

 

[Tedeski]

This is where we turn a negative into a positive. This is how depth is built. This is how our future guns can be discovered. Perhaps it's the opportunity Walsh needs to have the confidence to know he has a 4 week go at it. He's a big boy & can move.

Rampe has just started to belong because he was probably told that we would perservere with him for 5 weeks or so.

Keep the faith.
Before we know it, we'll have Tippett, Reid, Shaw, Mattner, LRT creating wanted headaches for our selection panel.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

About a month with either White or Walsh in the side. Give me strength.

Reid was really finding touch again which makes this disappointing.

 

[baja]

Its kinda odd that its his left quad, usually players do their kicking quad so I think that's a positive in regards to coming back sooner however it, like an ab strain or a groin is very hard to pinpoint a time frame. I think the club sometimes just needs to throw a fish so to speak to the media and fans.
I questioned Shaws Ab diagnosis for the same reason when it was first called two weeks, Id give Reid a month to be safe. I also think Mattners 'hip' is a strange one.

 

[Superstar swan]

White over Walsh ..... Please.

 

[The King!]

Carbon rod is better than white and walsh

 

[RUNVS]

Go with Walsh and see what he can do.

 

[Jack Lord]

Really bad timing for Sammy.

For one thing, if he could have just waited a couple of rounds he could have timed his break for the bye and teams like Port.

Secondly, his move up the ground has proved a structural bonus for our team. It's likely that his replacement will play closer to goal clogging up the forward 50. How many times against the pies did we find targets all alone at the front half of the ground?

 

[MF]

Time for Walsh or White to step up. I have absolutely no faith whatsoever that either of them will be anything but utter failures.

Having said that, they have my full support.

 

[BarneyBent]

Got to give Walsh a go. He's doing everything possible at reserves level.

 

[SydneyPhilly]

The same people who are saying Walsh should never get another chance are the same saying that Everitt should be played consistently. Time to give him some decent 1sts time and see what happens.

 

[Punts]

Is this injury abit more serious than we all think , quads are shocking injuries look at beams , does any no any other players who have done the same injury this year and how long is recovery time normally

 

[Sanecow]

White >>>>> Walsh

 

[swansfan51]

White >>>>> Walsh

If we could combine White's height, athleticism and kicking with Walsh's aggressiveness we would almost have an AFL forward. He'd still have no idea how to position himself unfortunately.
