Guest Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Latest post from Burgs: "I guess all we can be guided by is the medical staff and what they expect. But sometimes - unfortunately - players get setbacks or things take longer. Injury list is always a guide. Dave Misson mentioned Dawes as being about two to three weeks away, so hopefully that's the case, and he was optimistic about Jesse Hogan being possibly three weeks away. So hopefully that will be around the mark."
Maggot 1977 263 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Hamstring Tightness - that's Mr Elite Fitness speak for 4-6 weeks and even maybe a trip to Germany for a second opinion from an ex KGB pharmacist.
Tyson4Brownlow 154 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 How about people who have no idea what the injuries are and how serious stop taking pot shots. Every club in the league have multiple players injured like us. It's not always someone's fault or who we should sack. It just is...
Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 i don't see the value in playing Byrnes, we have alternatives that offer just as much and still have the potential to come on and be damaging players in the future, Byrnes offers experience and not much else, would have been better off with brad Green still hanging out in a forward pocket

Barney Rubble 1,576 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Melbourne squad: round twoB: Lynden Dunn, James Frawley, Alex GeorgiouHB: Jack Grimes, Tom McDonald, Dean Terlich C: Jack Trengove, Dom Tyson, Daniel CrossHF: Jack Watts, Cam Pedersen, Jimmy ToumpasF: Jeremy Howe, Jack Fitzpatrick, Rohan BailFOLL: Jake Spencer, Nathan Jones, Bernie VinceI/C (from): Shannon Byrnes, Matt Jones, Jay Kennedy-Harris, Viv Michie, Dean Kent, Michael Evans, Sam BleaseIN: Sam Blease, Dean Kent, Michael Evans I know you can't believe anything you read n print.but drop Byrnes and Kennedy-Harris for Blease and Evans. You have immediate plus. But FCS give us a tall target
Demon Disciple 12,530 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Now returning to the purpose of this thread, the quality of their midfield is there for all to see. Then have a look at their forward line!!!! This one is going to hurt, but at least i'm a bit more realistic this week. Our best chance was for the weather to be wet, creating a congested slop of a game, where skills would be down (fitting us to a tee). Forecast is for sun and light winds and 28, not good. Though good weather to watch football (better pack the sunscreen).
Lil_red_fire_engine 11,383 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 The curse continues. This week will prove how much better we defend now we have a deeper midfield. They will be the only thing stopping this from being a serious massacre.

Most clubs when a player suffers a soft tissue industry will advise a grade 1, 2 or 3 and thus x amount of weeks. we on the other hand get fed hyperbole about "tightness" "twinges" & soreness for weeks on end . All other clubs ? which other club has lost 2 ruckman, & 3 FF/CHF by week bloody 2 of the season. Poor management in my opinion. Blokes have more chance coming back from a full LARS surgery than are big blokes do from hamstring or calf "tightness"
What 18,810 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I hope all three of Blease, Evans and Kent play. All can damaging and take the game on. That Eagles side looks superb on paper.
Maggot 1977 263 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Hope Big Spencer has a Proton Pill - he's going to need it !!
What 18,810 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 if we win this week against that Eagles team, Paul Roos is a certified genius and a bargain

Bring-Back-Powell 15,536 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I don't see any alternative than to risk 2 of McDonald, Fitz and Watts.
Lordweaver 235 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 it's round 2 other teams will have injuries through the season and by then we should have at least a tall or two back, dig deep

Lol....having a bad one, M77? Hang in there, mate We all feel your frustration.
Whispering_Jack 31,365 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 So the official mystery injury of the week is Max Gawn but the way our season's unfolding 2 or 3 MOTW's is not out of the question.

When I look at our injury list I just wonder how I who did not train all that much managed to play so many second rate suburban level games of footy on the trot, about 80 to 100 if I remember in a row. I know we are talking elite level but they also have full time elite level fitness. Half our list seems to be best kept in Cotten wool, as soon as they play any contested footy, they go down with soreness, tightness! I give up.
stevethemanjordan 6,952 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 50 + point loss this one. No forwards. And only a handful of mids who can really be damaging with their feet means there won't be many opportunities.

I would have had Blease for Toumpas ( easily I cannot how a bloke who Give it a rest. He's a dud and your are a loon.
