You don't (or won't) get many opportunities like this injury wise to have a serious crack at the flag, these opportunities won't be there forever. As with all sides, an injury to two key players like Gawn and Hogan could spell the end to a season. If the lads are serious, time to have a real crack, we can beat anyone including Richmond on our day.

It's all your fault MSF (lol) since that post we have lost Stretch, Viney and Hibberd.

And of course you have mentioned a few big bears in Gawn and Hogan ?

Interesting that Hunt is still showing as 4-5 weeks... hard to see him contributing this season unless we play deep into the finals. Will be an interesting call as to whether they even try to get him back.

As I was typing that I thought that I shouldn’t post it. I can take the blame, screw you MFC!

Stretch out for rest of season

When it rains, it pours ... bugger!

A little more promising news about Hunt (2 weeks away).

Has a couple of games to force his way into the side for September ... if we get there.

It’s getting up there now, three key injuries and a chunk of depth in Smith, Hunt (who’s having a down year), and Stretch. Plus Jetta test as well. 

Big challenge for us now, really hope Hibbo’s quad injury is on the lower end of severity. 

Anyone know if Tim Smith is available? I see he was in Rehab.

3 of best 10 out

realistically 4 of best 22 out if I include Hunt

fingers crossed Hibberd out for 1-2 weeks max and Hunt ready in VFL in another 2 weeks. We do need more run and carry

Nearly had a heart attack! Please write "maximum" when that's what you mean. I thought for a moment that "max" meant Gawn and for some reason he was lining up in the VFL. I know it's a completely illogical thought, but reading social media can have that effect.

That’s bizarre but understood!!

I will also not use “gone” in case that also is confusing

I didn't realise that this was insider trading. I thought I had missed an article with the info. Thanks for the heads up.

Hypothetically if it is two weeks then back for the Suns game. Which you'd reckon they would not play him in if not 100% cherry ripe. Back the following week against the Swans.

Hannan? He's not on the list. I thought he was omitted. Or do you mean Hunt?

Hannan out with a knee. Apparently.

Sounds like a plan bin.

Oh, OK. I didn't realise. (I've just looked at the MFC announcement yesterday of the team which says Hannan has a jarred knee.) 

Just stated on 7 news hibberd would be looking for a return during finals.

that might have been an assumption...as many have made on here. In fact maybe that "news" came right off this site.  Lets wait til we hear from the club. Im liking Rustys info until proven otherwise.
