Season over for the MFC if he's seriously injured. He's top 3 in terms of importance to the side.

Well hasn't this training thread started out just splendidly.

ffs

No! I think we should panic just in case.

Yes - I can do a very good "Chicken Little"!

Bring back Gillies

If he is it will be described as a little 'hiccup' - the new preseason malaise!

Frost is coming along fine so he can step in.  We now have depth!

Anyway, round 1 is still 9 weeks away and Tommy has a lot of preseasons under his belt so he can come into the side when cleared to play.

That's what I'd expect from a headless eerrr ... well ....  er ..chook!

Apparently there's 3 injuries that have come out of todays sessions. Tom Mcdonald hurt his shoulder and looks like he got a stinger but he ran laps afterwards. Terlich did a groin and wait for it... Dawes re did his calf... surprise surprise

It's easy to be sarcastic re Dawes but you've gotta feel for the bloke. 

Very frustrating.

He is very well paid for his services I am sure he will feel a lot better  every time his salary comes in this year.

But he also loves playing footy and is a leader at the club. Would be hurting if he can't play. You can doubt his hands, but not his heart.

Yeah good point.

As the game gets more and more professional I get more and more desensitised to the individuals feelings.

Sad but that is the result of the sports world we live in.

Most players change clubs with not a care in the world about how we supporters feel so I no longer care much about most of them.

 

I hope the injuries were part of training and not unsanctioned out of hours activities...

I have a mate who got tennis thumb from swiping too much on Tinder.

Yes while i did have a hint of sarcasm this would no doubt be frustrating for the bloke considering its his last year on his 4 year deal. I am no physio but going by his calf issue in the past id say they would just be about shot.

Does happen a lot, it's why I went off following the NBA, every year sees completely different players wearing the uniforms.

I've seen Dawes show enough passion and stand up for his team mates enough to think his heart is in it though.

That may be true but it won't help us if he can't be a regular 22 just as it won't help Grimes or other players who may be on the fringe. 

It isn't personal to think he won't be missed on game day - just the way it is at a professional club when there is competition for those 22 spots each week.

Else where I wrote I thought we would be lucky to get 15 games out of him.

I might revise that down to five.

I have a couple of friends in the medical business and both say that calf injuries are the hardest to get over and the older you get the worst it gets.

Mate, none of that has anything to do with the post I was replying to...
