I agree. Misson and co. should have reinforced Hogan's collarbone with a steel plate before he took to the field. Poor planning. And I hear the anti-oxidants in rooibus tea are good at preventing cancer. I don't know why they persist with water on game day.

They should wash the players' mouths out with soapy bathwater anytime anyone is caught dropping the F-word.

Poor guy

And (didn't see or hear the game but ABC suggested Mumford took to  the biff) was Max concussed?

Melbourne Website has a story titled "SMITH SIDELINED - Joel Smith will miss the remainder of 2017 season with a knee injury"

Unfotunately the link doesn't open so I don't know if it is just this season or is a reco. Anyone know any more?

8-10 week injury, no damage to ACL, just a crack in the tibia.

Thanks Demon77. As bad as that is so happy that he will hopefully get a good crack at it next year.

Pun not intended

If that's the official injury list then does it mean Oscar McDonald's ribs have come up OK?

......and Viney on crutches just 'precautionary'?

Bringing him back quickly must be taking a toll, I really hope it's not doing him further damage. Courageous as he is. 

Tom Bugg might be a chance vs the Lions if we want fresh legs. 

I think the plan was to bring in Watts and Salem and rest another couple of guys, but Salem screwed that up with his stupidity.

Viney was on crutches after the Port game too. I assume he has been on them after every game since. I think this is just part of managing him through the injury he had and not putting pressure on it post game. 

Excellent news on Jesse Hogan. Greg Denham in The Australian today says Jesse has made a miraculous recovery and could play this week-end if he gets through training this week and gets the all clear from his surgeon. 

Sorry, in my last post I meant 'news' and not 'nes' on the excellent situation on Jesse.

Doubt Hogan will play. Viney has been on crutches after every game since he came back and there's been a news report about him "being in doubt" each time bar last week vs GWS.

Surely not? This week? Handy.

Surely the source is the Demonland podcast?

 

I'm pretty sure in Dave Missons report he said he was back training but a week or two away. 

 

 

It would be huge we're Jesse to be able to return so soon AND have a big physical influence.  Sounds too good to be true, so probably is.

Why is Kent's shoulder only now being operated on? 

There has been scant info re Ken'ts injury. The club went to ground. Now its revealed he will have surgery? Something fishy here...

We were hoping he could manage the shoulder so he could be back to play this season.
