Where has this man disappeared to?

Not named in Casey again from all reports?

I think he has a rib injury.

He's in Perth.

Out for another 2 to 3 weeks according to reports through the week.

Was left out of the team due to "soreness" and now looks like missing at least 5 or 6 weeks.

Goneski.

Can we slap a wig and some stilts on him and present him to Freo as Jesse.

We'd have to teach him to skip.

Has a back injury. Rotten timing as he was playing really good footy

Didn't see him at training this morning now that you mention him

So, presumably you were there?  Looking forward to your full and concise report...

Yes Barry I can be precise, the session barely went for an hour, the usual routines, not much to report really. No Spencer, no Dawes, no Brayshaw, didn't see Trenners or ANB for that matter but I may have missed him. The Prince running laps. Some on the injured list were there, e.g. JKH looking fit and Vanders as well. Didn't notice Oscar either or Dunn but I am not great at picking up everyone on the field. 

No idea what actually went down, however a photo of him him popped up on facebook in hospital after the game when went out with 'soreness' the following week. IIRC he had the full emergency department kit going on - ECG monitor etc. 

As an early guess might've have a busted/bruised ribs +/- lung injury, or a back injury which would explain the absence but not the quiet treatment from the club.

Pure speculation/Crazy brain ticking over here thinks possibly an undisclosed/undiagnosed medical condition might have popped up. The club possibly should get on the front foot and let people know what's going on, or perhaps not as well - he will be back when he's right.

Fractured ribs is the problem.

There was a pic of him in hospital due to his ribs so definitely more than "soreness"

A bit early to write him off for the season like that ..

Another 3 most likely

Poor bloke. He got injured at a really bad time. I imagine this team will be even harder to get into in a months time.

He could bolster the scorps in the meantime.

Matt Jones needs to play to stay on the list. Like JKH, being injured leaves him open to the tap on the shoulder.

Tenuous segue/not sure where else to put this . . .

As mentioned in another thread, I took a historical tour of the Norwood Football Club during the week. One amusing anecdote to emerge concerned an interstate match between the Redlegs and a very fancied Carlton outfit in the mid-70s. The Legs' coach at the time had all their forwards switch jumpers right before the game and line up together at CHF - with the assumption that their opposition had only studied the numbers rather than footage. Norwood scored a 10-goal jump on the Blues by half-time

I was at training on Wednesday and Matt was rehabbing, when discussing his progress, you could see they were concentrating on the chest/rib area, must have been a bit of a belt he got
