Injury List - NAB Cup Week 3

[Grandson of a gun 276]

Great to see 5 players back this week......

Five Return From Injury

Injury list

Michael Evans (back) - indefinite

Max Gawn (knee) - season

Jack Grimes (shoulder) - 1-2 weeks

Liam Jurrah (wrist) - 3-4 weeks

Cale Morton (knee) - 1 week

Jake Spencer (knee) - 6-8 weeks

Rory Taggert (back) - 3 weeks

Leigh Williams (back) - 3 weeks

Aside from the news about Jurrah being granted leave to return home the amount of players available for round 1 is looking good.

Hoping Grimes and Morton can get at least 1 full pre-season game in before round 1 just to top it off (of course with no other injuries)...

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Grimes is now another 1-2 weeks away, same as last week.

What's the bet he doesn't play next week?

Bubblewrap alert!

Morton may struggle to get a run for quite a few weeks until his works on his game at Casey ,I reckon .

If Michael Evans is now out indefinitely does this mean we are able to elevate another rookie ?

Bubblewrap alert!

Hope this is not a "Geelong" 1-2 weeks.

I remember a couple of years ago Ottens was out for 1- 2 weeks that kept on that way for 2 months.

No this is the MFC we tell the truth!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Evans a rookie himself?

[Pates 9,660]

JT, Tappy, and Jordie. Three guys i'm very happy to see getting pre-season game time.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Fair effort by James Strauss to be back available for selection. To be honest, when he suffered that injury I thought we wouldn't see him at all in 2012.

[Flemo56 396]

Strauss, WOW, thats amazing and a credit to HIM and ALL concerned.

[ox_5 163]

No correction needed.

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

So, based on this information Evans, Gawn, Jurrah, and Spencer will be unavailable for selection for round 1. Not too shabby, considering that Jurrah is probably the only player that would be pushing for selection if he were fit anyway.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE, WHAT ARE OUR INCOMPETENT MEDICAL STAFF DO... oh.

I wouldn't mind at all if it's a "Geelong 1-2 weeks"...didn't Ottens come back in time to win a premiership with the Cats? I could live with that sort of injury concern.

Yes he did.

I would be happy for Jurrah to appear early August in time for the GF.

Well we can dream?

Evans and Williams were never going to play much in early part of 2012, with Nicholson, Couch and Magner well ahead at this stage. Taggert a first year player, wouldn't get a look in for round 1 and Gawn and Spenser affect our ruck depth, but not in the early part of the season, with Martin and Jamar clearly our number 1 and 2.

Morton and Grimes will still get to play 1 nab cup game and will be available for selection round 1.

That pretty much leaves Jurrah as our only best 22 player out for round 1. A pretty decent result. Let's hope Jurrah can play before too long also
