Injury List - Round 9

Featured Replies

Posted

I'm not even going to waste anybody's time with the injury list from the Herald Sun's barometer series because they never get it right and even if they were remotely close, they would still miss out on the mystery injuries of the week like Shannon Byrnes and Jack Viney from last week.

So I'll concentrate on the opposition this week and if they got them right, then we really can't cry about our injury toll this week:

Jon Griffin (knee) season

Kepler Bradley (knee) season

Aaron Sandilands (hamstring) 5 weeks

Matthew Pavlich (achilles) 2 weeks

Anthony Morabito (knee) 4 weeks

Stephen Hill (quad) 1-2 weeks

Michael Walters (ankle) 3-4 weeks

As for Melbourne, it's looking like one out will be Jimmy Toumpas while Jack Watts could come back from injury and Cam Pedersen is also a good chance after a very good game with Casey and possibly Sam Blease.

 

Geez Freo have some massive outs. Full credit to them for being 5-2-1.

I'm a big Fremantle fan, they're a great side I reckon.

Watch out for them in the second half of the year, with Pavlich, Sandilands, Walters and Hill to come back, and maybe Morabito too. Already 5-1-2, if they keep getting wins without their stars, imagine how well they'll do when the A-team is back.

I have nothing against Freo and Port, but unfortunately in both cases, I can't get around the fact that their supporters irritate me so much!

Port's bad, don't know much about Freo (I can imagine, though).

Won't ever be as bad as Collingwood or Richmond (dear me, the Richmond flogs in the MCC on the weekend were atrocious).


I actually tipped Freo to play in the Grand final this year, they look capable even without a bunch of stars.

Those are VERY good players Fremantle have got out.

Yet they manage a win over Collingwood without Pavlich, Sandilands, Fyfe and co.

Then they draw with Sydney without even more players going down.

Fremantle to manage to etch out wins against top clubs with their superstars out.

MFC can't even remain competitive, full list in or not.

Ross Lyon would've improved MFC tenfold... We need an experienced coach, desperately.

The way he dealt with Walters was very instructive. Obviously Lyon has very high standards in terms of training, dedication etc (as several players have made clear in interviews). Walters wasn't meeting those expectations apparently and by all accounts he was told to go away (to Claremont) and work if he wanted to. Tough stance and one that Neeld might have also taken i guess.

What is impressive is the whilst Walters has obviously put in the hard work and is now top shelf i can only assume Lyon dealt with what must have a tricky situation in a way that didn't disenfranchise Walters and was sufficiently supportive and motivating. Not saying that Neeld would not have been able to this, just that it is a hard balance to be a tough, brook no argument coach, whilst also being sufficiently nurturing and supportive.

Perhaps that comes from experience but i do wonder if Neeld got the first bit right in his first year but not yet the second bit?

 

not sure if this has appeared elsewhere: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-05-21/injuries-take-toll-on-strugglers

this list does not take into account 2013 injuries to players who were not there last year (i.e. Dawes, Viney).

Number of games missed by top 10 players in club's 2012 best and fairest
23 Gold Coast
22 Western Bulldogs, Melbourne
21 GWS, Port Adelaide
16.5 Collingwood*
16 St Kilda
15 Carlton
14 Adelaide, Essendon
11 Brisbane Lions
9 Fremantle
8 Geelong
8 Richmond*
7 North Melbourne
6 Hawthorn, West Coast
2 Sydney Swans

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
