Current injury / fitness status

That's a great result HJH

 

I love an optimist.

PS. Stan Alves was a better player than Greg Wells . I think both came second in the Brownlow?

Not sure that I would agree MD

They were both good.

IMO Wells by a short half head.

 

With Tapscott appearing to be the mystery?

No big loss

And someone else gets a chance


very true BRFE - is it an oversight or is it a case of sticking fingers in their ears and going la la la lalala?

Clark, Garland out for NAB Challenge

FWIW, this is the official injury list :lol:

Injury list: NAB Challenge, round one v Richmond

Mitch Clark (hamstring) – 3-4 weeks

Colin Garland (ankle) 4-6 weeks

Aidan Riley (leg) – 8 weeks

Did Riley have a setback, or are they just looking at Casey time? I spoke to him at training a couple of weeks ago and he thought he would be back in full training in a matter of days.

I am sure Georgiou will be the one uplifted if we uplift a rookie.

 

We may only have 3 on the injury list, but it's a shame that two out of the three are in our top 5 best players.

Would be handy having them, however, I maintain that it's far more important having a fit and firing midfield.

And by that, I mean about 15 or 16 potential mids fighting nail and tooth for limited spots in our best 22.

Hogan/Dawes and Frawley/Dunn/McDonald are fine for now. Garland will be back hopefully round 2 and Clark can wait for now.

We're not playing for finals just yet..


Agreed, the forward or back line wasn't our problem last year, so we can cover those guys. It's the mids that we really need to be fit and firing and touch wood that will continue into the season proper.

I checked the club site for the official injury list and it hasn't been updated so I'll take a stab that the three on last week's list are one week closer and I'll also add Luke Tapscott:-

Unofficial Injury list:

Mitch Clark (hamstring) – 2-3 weeks

Colin Garland (ankle) 3-5 weeks

Aidan Riley (leg) – 7 weeks

Luke Tapscott (medial ligament) - 2-3 weeks

Incidentally, the club hasn't updated the training times either so it looks like there will be no open training sessions in the near future.

They should change the name of rehab group to the Mitch Clark group, poor bugger can't cop a break and he must be fearing for his future, hopfully it works out for him.

Our injury list looks as good as it has in years, but I am beginning to think that Tappy and Mitch might be bonus players. They just can't seem to get their bodies up to a 22 game season. If - and it is now a very big if - they can get fit it is a bonus to our season, but we might need to fit our future plans around a team without them both.

The way Dawes was talking the club is taking an ultra conservative approach to managing the KPP, in particular himself and Clark. I don't see Mitch coming into the team before round 3 just purely because they are going to ease him into match fitness, as said above, there's no rush so let's make sure they are as sound in body (as much as possible at least) before we put them through the rigours of a match of any kind.

Maldon i don't think Roosy would be planning the team's future around Tappy but he'd no doubt be crossing his fingers and toes for a fit Mitch ASAP. I have no idea but my gut feel is that the hamstring problem is a pretty minor issue albeit they'd be treating with kid gloves.

The metatarsus issue must be rearing its ugly head whenever they try to up the ante on the training track doing the basics. I'm not expecting to see him in full flight this side of mid season but it would be a nice bonus. Hate to see his career over this early over a cronic foot prob. Fingers crossed for a quick recovery though.

Our injury list looks a lot better than a lot of other clubs. http://www.afl.com.au/news/injury-list

Geelong in particular is having a horror run. Christensen and Motlop are both very, VERY, good players and at the very least are another 2 months away. Now Vardy goes down with an ACL.

I am confident you know what the phrase means Mono.

But just in case you don't it means you are not alone.

Couple of observations: (1) are there more achilles injuries than usual?; and (2) interesting how many rookies (ie, draftees) are on the injured list, often with relatively serious injuries. I'm super glad we're treating our young kids properly and managing them through slowly.

 

I understand that there is alot of confusion on Clark and his extensive time off with the hamstring. But as Roos has suggested, when an athlete has been off their feet for such a long time, you can't just start running again and expect it all to just work again. Despite Clark doing leg excercises and rehab, it's not the same as running. So there's a lot of extra stress on muscles and ligaments etc, because they're all weaker than they had been prior to the big ankle injury, hence there's a good chance of straining other muscles eg blowing a hammy. In that condition you need to handle it appropriately. Hamstrings need to be treated carefully, they're never the same after a ping.

I'm confused about Gawn. Not on the injured list, yet from the reports of the intraclub match, he's not fit enough to be played in the ruck either.

I know he needs to build his tank to see out a game, but surely that's improved since last season?

Is he in a similar situation to Jamar, who's also not fully fit yet not on the injured list?

  • 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.

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.
