I’ll wear that some does come down to “bad luck”, however we have the worst Injury Prevention Program in the AFL by a stretch.

I’m very supportive of Noble & the list management teams decisions, however our S&C/Medical “program” is completely unacceptable. We will never be competitive if we do not rectify this sh**.
 







Injury Update: Jaidyn Stephenson

North Melbourne will be without Jaidyn Stephenson until after the bye.
The 22-year-old underwent surgery on his wrist to repair a hairline fracture in his scaphoid on Monday evening.
“Jaidyn reported some soreness in his wrist post game and was sent off for immediate scans,” North GM Football Brady Rawlings told North Media.
“A very fine fracture was detected and a specialist advised surgery was required.
“Jaidyn can’t recall a specific incident when the injury took place and will now be out for about six weeks.”

In the VFL, Will Walker suffered a broken thumb on the Gold Coast and will also need surgery, and will likely be out for a month.

Stephenson and Walker join the likes of Robbie Tarrant (kidney), Luke McDonald (pec), Jed Anderson (ankle), Jarred Polec (hamstring), Dom Tyson (calf), Aiden Bonar (ankle), Aidan Corr (foot) and Kyron Hayden (hamstring) on the injury list along with younger players in Flynn Perez (knee), Charlie Comben (leg), Patrick Walker (hip), Matt McGuinness
(foot) and Phoenix Spicer (hamstring).
“Our depth is being challenged,” Rawlings commented

“Attrition is part of the game and is not unique to our club. With it comes great opportunity for our younger players to step up and take their chances.

“We had Trent Dumont perform well in the VFL on Saturday, as well as Tristan Xerri and Taylor Garner, and want to see Eddie Ford make his debut in the near future.

“Bailey Scott and Atu Bosenavulagi were emergencies on the weekend and have fresh legs so we expect them to be available this week.”
North Melbourne plays Hawthorn in Launceston on Saturday.

There's talk on the Fox Footy website that Ziebell has a suspected shoulder injury. No mention of his condition or if time off is required. At this stage.

I thought he popped it out during that incident. I suspect he has ****ed it but is being a warrior and will battle through. He bleeds for this club.
 
Do we top up from our VFL affiliate if we legitimately can't field a team? Maybe that was Paul Roos' plan all along with his son
