Injury List - Round 17

[alpha33 306]

Some of the highlights of this week's injury list:

* Liam Jurrah improves from 1-3 weeks to 1 - 2 weeks in the week before his next court appearance;

* three players face fitness tests but Casey's bye makes two of those tests relatively worthless because it's highly unlikely that either Tynan or Sheahan would have a game to play regardless of the outcome;

* Jamie Bennell's ACL brings to five the number of players on the list who are gawn for the rest of the season;

* the TBC category raises it's ugly head again. What it means is nobody really has a clue what's going on with the blokes in question; amf

* Pickles is out for 1 - 2 with a back after playing well at Casey last week. Either that or the fact that he's studying law means he's been co-opted onto Liam Jurrah's defence team.

Good luck to the Warlpiri Wizard anyway. Hope he's back soon!

[Pates 9,631]

Jamar out for another 3 weeks is disappointing, big chance for Spencer and Stef.

[45HG 1,539]

No Grimes at that list is good.

Lisa Simpson: “Look on the bright side, Dad. Did you know that the Chinese use the same word for ‘crisis’ as they do for ‘opportunity?’”

Homer Simpson: “Yes. ‘Crisitunity!’”

Definitely a crisitunity.

[Demon_spurs 1,811]

No Grimes at that list is good.

Unfortunately this means nothing !!!

I don't remember seeing, Jones or Jamar mentioned in the injury list before the Brisbane game. It seems to me the only time you know what's going on is 10mins before the bounce

[dazzledavey36 53,478]

i reckon jamar will be out longer then 3 weeks knowing our luck. oh well season is shot time for spencer to make a mark now!

[Jaded No More 68,692]

WTF is this TBC?

No money to send the player to see a doctor?

[jurrahcane 70]

MFC Club Doctor: Dr Seuss !!!!!!!!!

[Roger Mellie 3,904]

Rotten luck for the pickle.

[Range Rover 1,935]

Jamar 3 weeks!

Finishing 16th is a lock now.

So if missons sport science skills isn't meant to stop soft tissue injuries then what is he meant to be doing in terms of reducing injuries

we are 2nd on the 'weeks missed from soft tissue injury' ladder with 41 weeks missed in total

I assume Essendon is number 1. Interesting as both clubs were not fit or strong enough and high profile fitness experts have been brought in to change that. Hird said the other say that the injuries they have copped is the price to be paid for getting a club up to speed fitness wise (or words to that effect), or in his words to be as strong and fit as the legit premiership hopes

Essendon first with 47 weeks missed. North last with 1 week missed.

I would have thought Essendon wouldn't have been as far behind as us fitness wise...

Not this year no. But when Hird came on board he said they were no where near it and this year their focus has been on building the strength required to macth it with the big boys

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

I really feel for Michael Evans. He seems to have the goods but just can't stay healthy.

I really hope that Watts and Tappy will pull up good to go for this weekend. We really missed JW against the Dockers.

Doesn't it feel good that we can say "we missed JW". If there is nothing else about this year at least we have Jack and how much he has improved. I am in the glass half full component of Demonland.

Jamar 3 weeks!

Unless, of course, we finish 17th.

Yep, it's awesome. It's great not having threads posted every week about how he's a dud.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,664]

I'd be surprised if Jamar is only out for 3 weeks. Calf injuries always seem to take longer to heal for older players. And he's now done it twice which suggests the need for a very conservative approach.

Me too

If you look hard enough there is almost always a reason to smile.

Got mine this morning when the MFC site says Jamar out for up to 4 weeks.

If we use the same scale they use to show LJ 's condition and return date then I would say we will not see jamar again in 2012.
