Nice theory but Hawthorn and the Bulldogs would dispute that I am guessing....

How dare you use facts to dispute my theory. And so promptly. I am wounded...

Sorry

They'll return when they are ready.  Does it matter if it's 2 weeks or 3 weeks or 4 weeks.  They are hardly critical at the moment and I'd imagine if we stay fit they'll be given plenty of time to ensure they play the second half of the season.

We can be conservative and we are. Good planning I say.  I think you're being a bit picky.

I wonder if posters would be happier with Geelongs approach to injuries.

I just watched their injury report and they divide injuries into three lists - short term injuries, medium term injuries, long term injuries - they do not specify "weeks". It is safer and it recognises that the human body is not a machine that you can be definitive about exact times recoveries take.

I have no problem with our club listing weeks and by the same token I don't have issues if they say 2 weeks for injury and when it doesn't respond as it should, it ends up taking 4 weeks.

what? they don't have  "mystery injury" or "missing from injury" categories? sounds pretty dodgy

M Jones has a back issue hence the soreness and the mystery aspect to the injury. AVB one week away.  H still out

I'm not sure about you Nut but I've lived through the era where if there was one article about your club in the newspapers during the week (no internet) you'd be pretty happy. The amount of information about the club and the players is terrific now and if the odd bit of information is missing that's life.  And injuries are an interesting thing.  I think it was Crouch of Sydney who asked the club not to release his medical situation when he was sidelined for a while.  But now it seems that if you're an AFL footballer your medical history is public knowledge and people are annoyed if it isn't available and accurate.

Let the whingers whinge. If people get upset because estimates of injury time change let them get upset.  There is no pleasing some.

Brayshaw available after two concussions...?

I think we just need to recognise that the human body is weird and wonderful thing (especially mine) so what we are told about a players length of time on the sidelines compared to the actuality is not a reflection on the doctors/surgeons/fitness staff but merely an acceptance that the body will heal to its own timetable not necessarily one that is published on a club's website

Most recognize this and I think those that don't won't.  They either don't have the intellect or don't have the will.

Either way it doesn't matter. You're bashing your head against a brick wall.  I'd stop if I were you.

Not only that but there are hundreds of people on Demonland with a better diagnosis than the club doctors.......!!

Matt Jones has finally made it onto the injury list with a back injury. A couple of weeks out should see him back.

Not sure if he was injured when rested with general soreness or whether the soreness was something more sinister than first thought.

Heritier Lumumba is out another week with concussion but Angus Brayshaw and Chistian Salem are both available.

Now that there's wifi at the MCG surely it can't be too hard for the doctors to access Demonland during games and get instant crowd-sourced diagnoses of injuries and treatment options. Should improve performance substantially. 

is Kent's injury just the 1 week?

I have heard that Jones had a dislocated rib around the back area.....I don't know if true or not but would explain the "Sore" tag
