far out, still 9 best 22 players out.  realistically only Viney and Pruess back before the bye.

Smith, Jetta and Vanders probably done for the year.

no wonder May is hitting the schnapps

yeah, that's last week

fwiw, the age whisper boys said last week that walker is completely cactus and working in the membership dept - given that we're about to hit 50k, he's clearly doing a good job!

The club's injury report is finally looking a little bit encouraging. 

Garlett received a corky but will be able to line up. Preuss to be tested and another 4 or 5 coming back over the next 3 weeks.

Garlett - Hamstring - Available

Tim Smith - Back - Available 

Preuss - Shoulder - Test

Viney - Shoulder - 1 week

May - Groin - 3-4 weeks

Lever - Knee - 1 week

Hannan - Knee - 2 weeks

JKH - Knee - 2 weeks

Maynard - Hip - 1 week

AVB - Foot - 6-8 weeks

Joel Smith - Groin - 6-8 weeks

KK - Concussion - TBA

Good to see Lever is almost set for a return, there’s no point in rushing him so I would be giving him half a game at the VFL reserves then up his game time in VFLseniors and assess if match fitness wise when he’s ready. 

Pruess is a chance, but I’m not sure if the Suns are a team we would bring him in for.

Joel Smith situation is tragic.  Wtf did he continue playing.  Now missed 9 weeks and likely another 6-8 (probably a guess) weeks.  That’s the year with a groin!!!

Vandenburg. Also gone for the year.  Another 6-8 weeks is a guess. Wtf  

Both were 2-3 weeks in the round 1 injury preview. Ridiculous.  Wtf  

Lever says May is running and joining the main group next week.  Gawn says in radio interview that he is not running and faces a further extended delay and will be out for further 7-8 weeks.  Wtf 

kk was a huge risk as he had concussion history.  It was reported as being misdiagnosed as a neck complaint. Now he is indefinite still. Wtf

Wtf is my summary on weekly injury report.

Some reinforcements not too far away if we could possibly hold it together for 3 more weeks...

Agree. Win 2 out of next 3 (or all 3 ) then our troops start dripping back in and all our opponents will be worried. Still a sneaky chance of finishing in 8 and boy if that happens then look out.

I'm not convinced he'll be OK,  but I feel certain he will return soon.

Goody said,  or was it mr Misson,  that he will need to be monitored in future,  and most likely his loads managed, looking forward.

.... load management ..... is Misson moonlighting from a logistics firm?

And KK? The silence is deafening.A week off has now become five.

It seems that concussion is the most difficult injury to classify by number of weeks. I imagine it is virtually impossible to put a reliable timeline on it.

The table below was posted on bigfooty by 'Djcjdees'.

I like the table as it shows how the no of weeks has changed for the last month.  Some times have improved and some have worsened, in particular Joel Smith (subject of another thread) and Jetta (who also should not have played out the game after being injured early in the game).

Also, that KK is continually listed as TBC and AVB has now been TBC for a few weeks is worrying.

Unbelievable although it has now become believable.

However, only a small number of the group are top players or automatic selections. 

The rest are struggling, what we would call fringe or depth.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
