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. 

I don’t think a player like ANB can go backwards. The ones who make it on guts and work ethic rarely do.

He will never have the flair of Petracca but he will play his role and be an important cog in the chaotic footy we play.

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

More likely from Texas or where Cox came from!

Not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but Jake Lever is on AFL Tonight 700pm.

This tweet paints one picture whilst the article paints another.

Based on the tweet it sounds like he's in consideration for Round 2 or at the latest Round 4. The article has him traveling to Sydney with the chance of an amputation.

According to Ben Guthrie. 

Absolute [censored] and disgraceful from our medical team or cosching staff to leave him out there to aggregate it even more.

 

Yeh for all the good work they've done, that sure was a howler of a mistake Vs Brisbane at Casey.

A) Going in with a smaller squad. (Risk)

B) Keeping an injured player out there when there was absolutely no need. (Mind boggling).

Anyone who was at the game and saw him trying to do run throughs on the boundary line either before or after half time would've put Joel Smith's cue in the rack then and there considering it was a practice match. Play 1 man short if they must. Richmond did it in the JLT a couple of years ago.

I couldn't believe it when I saw him hobbling to the goal square just before the start of the last qtr. It wasn't exactly a home and away game when you're down to 1 fit bloke on the bench and you have to trot the least injured player out there.

It was a mistake to keep playing Joel, although he kept kicking goals. This thread is going to go ballistic with DLers outrage.

And they should be outraged Damo. As STMJ mentioned above, if we played with a normal sized squad it would've been a non issue. That alone lead to a number of players playing more game time than they were expected to ( I was told this by a player). 

Regardless,  the fact they kept him out there hobbling is one of the more inept decisions team management have made for quite a while . Mind boggling 

He was our best performaning forward preseason, now gone for at least a quarter of the season .

We do love a bit of outrage at Demonland.


Sackable offence. Bloody ludicrous. JLT means nothing. I don't care if we played with 10 players, i want my players healthy for round 1. Even if it takes them a few weeks to get going. 

Bad judgement and I wonder if any medical advice was sought in JLT 2 on Joel at Casey.

Not sure we have a forward still available other than Pruess assuming Spargo is a real certainty now (Was with me anyway).

Surely Fritsch must go forward to provide a skill and marking contest.

Bad news on Vanders also exacerbates this news!

What an absolute [censored]! WTF did he keep Son of Shaun out there when clearly he was injured? Can't wait to see Misson GTFO.

Edited by Philthy

On a more positive note, KK expected to play VFL this week.  Very happy with that one, at least.

This,  alongside allowing  Viney to play so early last year,  were two of the worst decisions I can remember re injury management. Both should have and so easily could have been avoided. I want to hear him respond to questions about this...I want to hold him to account as we would anyone else in the club.

Round 1 and once again we have a long injury list.

I wouldn't say it's long, and those on there will be back in short time (apart from Hannan and Lever).

Harmes, Viney, Jones and KK are all off that list now, with three playing this week and KK returning in the VFL.  It sounds like Preuss was with the main group as well, not with the rehab group, so you would suggest he is a chance for either AFL or VFL selection this week too.  Hannan, AVB, JKH and Joel Smith are three of the mid size injuries that come to mind, along with Jake Lever.   

So, in essence, I don't think it's that long at all, we've just had a few ups and downs with it in the last month.

Wish Dean Kent was still on our list, i know he was injury prone, but he could play and is exactly what we need right now, a goal kicking small fwd. God help us if Tmac or weid get injured.

We have about eight blokes who are nowhere near ready for senior football, so to have another ten on the injury list leaves us with little more than the bare minimum to pick from this week. Some of our list management and player management decisions in the past 12-18 months are mind boggling.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
