[DubDee 25,833]

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

[poita 3,902]

Isn't that still last weeks report? It says updated 1 May.

[whatwhat say what 22,740]

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!

WTF i hope not

[CHF 2,734]

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.

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

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.

Yeah heard this on SEN too 

[DubDee 25,833]

Lever playing vfl next week! Woohoo!!

[spirit of norm smith 16,441]

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.  

[sisso 2,580]

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

[titan_uranus 24,996]

Promising news for Lever and Hannan.

May's position seems unclear.

J Smith going nowhere, unfortunately.

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?

[Demonland 72,153]

Weid to be rested with soreness.

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.

[Diamond_Jim 12,568]

Weideman plays a decent game albeit at Casey and has soreness.

One has to just laugh... this season is getting better by the week.

[Demonland 72,153]

Jack knows his body best.

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.

Player	April 9	April 16	April 29	May 1	May 7
Hannan	6-8 (was 6-12 March 20)	6	4-6	3-4	2-3
JKH	10-12	8-10	8	3-4	3
Lever	6-8 (was 6-12 March 20)	6	4-6	3-4	3-4
KK	-	-	TBC	TBC	TBC
May	2-3	2-4	TBC	3-4	3-4
Joel Smith	TBC (was 5 March 20)	4-6	4-5	6-8	6-8
AVB	4-6	4-6	4-5	TBC	TBC
Viney	-	-	-	2	Test*
Maynard	-	-	-	3-4	3
Preuss	-	-	- (left off weirdly but was 2)	1	Test
Nev	-	-	8-10	10-12	10-12

Latest word on Weideman is that he is likely to miss a week.

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.
