According to this list:- https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-03-13/the-full-afl-injury-list-postjlt-update-

 

we have 15 payers listed as injured. That is an incredible number. By comparison, Port Adelaide have 9. I don't mean to be an alarmist, but I think we will struggle in the early part of this season, and hopefully come good in the second half. However, the loss of Hannan is significant as ANB looks to have gone backwards and Stretch is not up to the standard required for AFL . When we let Kent go, it was hoped that natural development of these fringe types, add JKH, would help fill a void. Spargo has been underwhelming, Garlett is out...we got a small forward problem.

Where did it say his recovery timeline was any different to what it is now?  Just curious.

I think it stems from anecdotes from people that have spoken with Lever and him saying he's aiming for Round 1 or thereabouts. Can't blame him for raring to go but the club and the medical staff are understandably taking a more conservative approach. Of course this is only speculation on my part.

Lever would play Rd 1 if he could, at the Sponsors he asked people jokingly to stop asking when he is back , not his decision, he will be told

To be fair, there are a number of players on that list that are available to play.  Fritsch, Jones, Melksham, Harmes, Viney and AVB will all be right for Round 1, while Smith and Preuss are listed as tests.  Take those eight out and it's just seven players injured for more than a week.  It's not panic stations yet.

Cheers, I thought it might have been something like that.

I wouldn't be too stressed from that list we have 5 available and 3 listed as "test" with May being back in RD 2. Baring any further suspensions or injury in RD 1 that list should go from 15 to 6 pretty quickly with really only Lever & Hannan missing from best 22. There shouldn't be any excuses to start the year, we do have a tough draw to start the year however I think 4-2 really should be a minimum result through the first 6 rounds.

Corked illiotibial band that’s a new one

Indeed, as long as the word foot is nowhere to be seen, happy days I guess.

 

best 22 players injured for round 1:  Lever and Hannan.

Hannan was dropped a bit last year but I still reckon he is best 22.  with guys like Smith ready to come in for Hannan he is not a massive loss

The bigger issue for me is are we fit enough as a group/recovered from surgery and ready to go.  I am in the camp that thinks we will be sluggish for the first 6 rounds or so and have some disappointing losses

I share your concerns. We've had a pre-season that is not conducive to a strong start with all our surgeries and JLT injuries. Reckon we'll be 2-4 to start the season (we have to play Geelong & Sydney away and Richmond) and playing catch up after that.

Plus, in the JLT our impressive late 2018 brand of footy has been largely missing in the JLT.  Can we just be expected to flick on the switch for round 1? Hope so. 

Hopefully we can be 3-3 and on the fringes of the 8, then make a charge up the ladder to top 4.

Can someone explain what happened to Lever's prognosis being pushed out to another potential 15 weeks? Is it in the news or another thread somewhere? I thought he was due back around Round 5/6, with everything going swimmingly except for that minor recent scrape?

He's already has  2 Reco's,   on that same knee.

watts the Rush ?

But so what happened? Did the Yanks revise the prognosis after his sojourn there?

Not sure that anyone except the fansthought he would be back before then.  It works out to around 12 months from the date which is about right.  I am no expert but not surprised.

As an aside I spent some interesting time googling ACL operations and how they work a while back - quite fascinating

They've actually now discovered six different muscles unique to Jack Viney.

Great highlight, but it doesn’t of itself make him best 22 or change my opinion.

I apologise for my ignorance , but what is the difference between TBC and test?


Hannan is best 22 very important player

B: JETTA, MAY, LEWIS

HB: HIBBERD, LEVER, SALEM

C : HARMES, OLIVER, FRITSCH

HF: PETRACCA, WEIDEMAN, NEAL-BULLEN

F: MELKSHAM, T.MCDONALD, HANNAN

FOLL: GAWN, VINEY, BRAYSHAW

IC: JONES, VANDENBERG, KOLODJASHNIJ, PREUSS

Might be a touch optimistic GCDee. While many are becoming available and/or passing tests,, I'm not sure we can carry more than a few players with niggles/little match practice into round 1 when the intensity will be high. We are going to need to finish the season pretty strong and hope for some luck and better player management with injuries.

Is there some kind of magic potion down at the Holden Centre regarding ACL injuries? 

Dunn suffered an ACL a month after Lever and he’s listed as 1-2 weeks away. From memory Goldsack recovered in less than 12 months also. 

Steaks apparently. Imported from South America I'm led to believe.

TBC- to be confirmed, no time frame yet on injury. Test- recovered or minor injury still able to train and will play subject to fitness test

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
