Unless Grimesy has made a miracelous recovery (please please please let that be true), that injury list has failed miserably.

Mind you, it's still the smallest it has been all year, which is great to see *knock on wood*.

James McDonald (hamstring) test

Jordan Gysberts (back) test

Rhys Healey (hamstring) 3 weeks

John Meesen (ankle) indefinite

Ricky Petterd (shoulder) season

Dees website states Jnr will miss this week. And the injury list is a tad longer too.

Round 16 injury update

James McDonald (hamstring) - test

Max Gawn (knee) - test

Jordan Gysberts (back) - 1 week

Stefan Martin (hip) - 1 week

James Strauss (knee) - 2 weeks

Jack Grimes (hamstring) - 2 weeks

Ricky Petterd (shoulder) - season

Jake Spencer (back) - test

Daniel Hughes (ankle) - 1-2 weeks

Rhys Healey (hamstring) - 2 weeks

Michael Newton (quadriceps) - 2-3 weeks

Edit - formatting: thought it would look better spread into senior list and rookies. And in test to length order.

Sorry Jaded, see my other post. Bit longer!

Edited. Herald Sun fails.

I'm shocked!

Herald Sun writers are just monkeys with typewriters. Poor monkeys don't know how to construct a proper injury list.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Was going to mention this in another thread.

Not that anyone here cares since most have written him off, but Juice did a quad training during the week. The list says 2-3 weeks. 7 weeks to go in the season... Is that it for him? My mail is that he was going to play until he hurt himself, too.

Let's try to avoid the "good timing on the injury" smarminess if we can...

[pringle 42]

Do Collingwood EVER get any more than 2 or 3 injuries at a time?

It also happens to be the longest injury list of all of the AFL clubs and doesn't include Brad Miller who pulled out of Casey's team last week because of back soreness.

Miller must be favorite to win the Demonland Missing Player of the Week now.

[drdrake 3,162]

You hope guys like Healy, Hughes, Miller and Newton can get back on the park soon, these 4 more than likely will not be on our list next year but you hope they can play good footy for Casey and get another chance at AFL footy.

[The Chazz 4,077]

Junior to miss again this week, Gysberts to miss one more match (I think he will be straight in or the week after), etc.

Here 'tis

3 of them are already not on our list and the other soon will be off the list.

Your mail is appalling. As was extensively covered in a number of threads last week, Newton was put back to the rookie list when Tapscott returned 2 weeks ago through Casey 2s. He was and is ineligible for senior selection.

I'm confused with the whole rookie thing. Can someone explain our current situation please?

Jordie is a rookie who was made "the" player mid season who can play without the need of a LTI.

Spencer has been elevated due to the LTI of Meesen.

Newton elevated due to Petterd's LTI.

That's how I thought it was at the moment, but didn't see the article about Newton being put back on it.

Cheers in advance for clearing this up for me.

Hughes is on for Petterd. Newton was on for Tapscott.

They don't write articles for the demotions, I suppose it puts the player in something of a negative light. Obviously it's documented somewhere for the AFL and Jesse Hogan (Age Journo) tweeted that Newton had gone back onto the rookie list for Tapscott a couple of weeks ago.

EDIT: Oh, and just noticed the other error. Spencer isn't elevated for Meesen. Meesen is on the rookie list too. He is/was elevated for Gawn so with his scheduled return this week we may just be left with Hughes elevated for Petterd.

What news Wona and Blease?

[Inner Demon 1]

What news Wona and Blease?

They've both been playing for the last 2 weeks so probably no need to have them on the injury report.

Also, Jordie McKenzie is on the senior list by virtue of the "mid year rule".

So it's:

Spencer (for Gawn)

Hughes (for Petterd)

McKenzie (by the mid-season rookie rule).

I don't know that there has to be a direct correlation with who goes back on to the rookie list based on who they came on for. I.e. I don't see why we can't send Hughes back to the rookie list instead of Spencer when Gawn returns.

I wonder the same thing Nasher. I seem to recall coming across this same question last year and I have a gut feeling that we can pick and choose who is demoted when injured players return but that is based on absolutely nothing at all rather than a hazy memory.

Thanks for clearing it up (?)!!!

Here's one to ponder (inappropriate thread I know), but you would assume Meesen is delisted as a rookie, what's the chances of us delisting Bell and signing him up as a mature-age rookie? This will free up a space on the list, and still have Bell on our list. He is playing pretty good footy at Casey, and hasn't had much of a chance to get some consistency in the seniors. Just a thought.

Just a thought.

The only way to do that is for Bell to enter the draft and him to fall all the way through to the rookie list at which point we determine that he is the best player available to draft onto our rookie list at that time.

Personally, I don't think Daniel, at 26 next season, will have as much potential upside as any number of 18/19 year olds we could draft in his place.
