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.

    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.

    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

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
