Current injury / fitness status

[old dee 23,915]

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?

That is the way I see it!

[dee-luded 2,959]

Mixing metaphors maybe .....you are not meaning our former singing flying forward, #24 Robertson Caruso?

saying that reminded me how much I miss Shaun Smith !

[Moonshadow 17,678]

Wouldn't it be great to have 2-3 wins by round 5 with the prospect of Garland and possibly Clark returning to boost the line up about that time?

Thinking positive.....

[Deez 298]

Just because the player doesn't have the tank to play the desirable position doesn't mean they're 'injured'.

Just means they're unfit.

All last year, peterson wasn't injured, he was just fat, so he played vfl for a while or the whole season lol.

Thats probably why they're not on the injured list.

I'd be a bit disappointed if Garland is out until round 6.

I reckon we can possibly get 2 wins out of 5.

Simply, not injured, but yet to regain match fitness

Wow Moonshadow - you all get cut to pieces by many here. Positive thinking is regarded by some as very undemonic.

Constant demonic failure over a seven year period has beaten it out of a lot of us mono.

But just watch the humor fly if we can beat the Cats on Friday!!!!!!!

We need to gain a bit of inspiration and a bit of G&D from Britain's wartime leader - by no means a perfect man, but universally regarded as an inspiration in times of the most dire need.

Then we must have had 30 000 optimists in 2013 mono .

Not sure that I would agree MD

They were both good.

IMO Wells by a short half head.

Different sort of players.

Wells more inside and nuggety and bustling - could take a good grab for someone his height

Alves was more classy and purely outside

They were all inside players in those days.

Sounds like a Neil Balme 426 to me McQueen

[Its Time for Another 4,298]

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.

He's back in the main group as far as I'm aware but will need 8 weeks there to get back to full fitness. I think it's already been a couple of weeks. Look up the last Misson interview about him going on the long term injury list. I believe he said he should be ready to go around round 3 or maybe it was 6. That was a big surprise because when they drafted him they thought it wouldn't be before mid season.

We probably did have that many in 2013 OD! Unfortunately any optimisim was snuffed out within about 10 minutes into the opening game against Port

Interesting WJ

No mention of Strauss

Clark 2-3 is this the MFC version of Neil Balme's 426? May I think before we see him saddle up at Casey.

Suggests to me that someone will get upgraded for Riley.
