Thread: Current Injury Status

  1. #13
    Just give the youngsters more time in the Ones for the last 8 games, go out and enjoy themselves not worrying about the result .

    They might be headed to Randwick (see other post) but they are simply not in the race, they are compounding even before the turn .

    Rubbish.
    Maybe missing your point.
    I don't care if he gets 3 goals a game, but if you think 5 touches is enough, there is a point that you are missing.
    Yes, I understand you point, I just don't agree.
    Maybe my expectation of a senior AFL player are higher.

    Just wondering how McCartin gets that experience?
    Send him hack to the NEAFL?

    Debatable.
    Compare 2018 stats for Reid vs McCartin
    Not sure how many goals Reid will provide from here on...

    Thats the season for both.

    Gee this Sam Reid bloke is softer than meringue buttercream. 2016 0 games, 2018 1 game. When does his contract expire? We would be better off Rookie listing this bloke and drafting another young potential talent.

    The Reid brothers are made of tissue paper. They must have bad genes.

    I was so looking forward to getting Reid back to give us a marking target not only in the forward line but also around the ground.

    Can you believe the Channel 10 news said we are having a "rare" injury crisis? Rare??

    We've been massively screwed by injury this year. We now have the following players out for the season (or as good as);
    Mills (Foot),
    Naismith (Knee),
    Ling (Toe),
    McVeigh (Collarbone),
    Hannebery (OP)
    Reid (Achilles), and
    Melican (Hamstring).
    Jack is TBA but might as well be injured given what he contributes.

    It's almost time to put the cue in the rack this season.

    Our injury list is not great, but it's probably not as bad as Collingwood's, for example, and they seem to have brought in lesser known players and doing quite well.

    It's hard to say if we can do the same, i.e. bringing in players like O'Riordan, Cameron and Dawson and hoping they can come right in play a good brand of footy.

    One of the big problems we've had is having Hanners and Jack IN the side, so now that they're out, we should actually improve.

    I don't think Horse is a cue-in-the-rack sort of coach. He'll be gunning for the top 4 as he should be. If Reid and Macca could get back that would help. I would be very happy not to see Hanners again in 2018, but want to see him fit and raring to go next year.

    With injuries comes opportunity to Sinkers, Aliir, McCartin, Fox, and potentially COR, Dawson, Newman and even Cameron. If they can get finals experience this year, that will be a bonus next.

    Lets be honest, all those are fringe players who we can cover.

    Mills (Foot) - Young player, yet to set the world on fire.
    Naismith (Knee) - Covered by Sinclair. In fact, would struggle to get a game.
    Ling (Toe), - Not in best 22.
    McVeigh (Collarbone) - Having a good year, but been fringe for a number of years now.
    Hannebery (OP) - One we do actually miss, but should be back for finals.
    Reid (Achilles) - Never on the park. Cant miss what you never see.
    Melican (Hamstring) - Fringe player.
    Jack is TBA but might as well be injured given what he contributes. - Again, best is behind him. Fringe player.

    None, apart from Hannebery and Reid (if in form) are in our best 15.

    You've also missed the part where Plugger1300 said 5+ a quarter - 20 touches a game. No one ever suggested 5 disposals a game was going to cut it
