PREGAME: Rd 14 vs Fremantle

[Nasher 33,617]

Three new injuries to best 22 players. Obviously the footy gods realised they’d dropped the ball when our injury list started to shrink.

Unbelievable.

Wow. Lever Garlett injured over the bye weekend.  Did we run out of cotton wool ! 

Hibberd is fair enough. He came back too early and clearly wasn’t right.  Needs to get his collarbone settled.  

It may be the last of Jeffy g

Quiet a statement there.

Seems fairly loud to me.

Hahahahahahaha, I was *waiting* for the Hibberd came back too early call. I don’t even need to read this forum to know what people are going to say. I think I’ve been here far too long.

And Lever got injured in the Collingwood game.

It’s a really worry when we have to play Wagner. I thought he was awful last game.

[P-man 13,366]

Just 10 more rounds to stomach.

You could argue the following though:

- Hibberd's plate coming detached could be because it hadn't healed properly.

- Lever's impact injury could have been caused by his lack of acclimatization to the speed and impact of match day.

Just saying...

It feels like it! Just getting it all out of the way before next years shot. ?

Doesn’t sound like the Hibberd or Lever injuries are too serious, thankfully. I really want that backline to get a good run at playing together. It looked promising against Collingwood.

And the pain of watching finals and then the long summer. At least there won't be any of that evil sweet tasting bathwater on offer.

Do we know what ailments Hibberd and Garlett are suffering from?

Not leather poisoning.

Just a bit of savoury humility. It’s important for one to have a balanced cliche diet.

So who will we draft with pick 1?

[DeeZee 7,445]

Pretty uninspiring selections.

My confidence in this team is the lowest it’s been for a couple of seasons.

Some poor little bustard who will have his boyhood dreams ripped from his soul and who will cry himself to sleep every bloody night when he hears he's going to the MFC.

Plates don’t heal. The bones heal. The likelihood of the plate being bumped out doesn’t change with rest.

Your comment on Lever is drawing an extremely long bow.

Or could it have been when someone (can’t remember who) ran across his leg in an attempt to smother the ball, on QB?

[DubDee 26,191]

T mac still playing??? take him out of his and our misery for the love of god

and Petty in? he must do a lot at training coz he has looked poor at AFL level.  I'd play Keilty at the back before Petty

Fair enough, I don't know much about the intricacies of a collar bone plate repair. From what I've heard though, it's a 4-8 week recovery for civilians, so he did come back quite quick for someone playing a high impact sport.

On Lever, I'm not saying it's the cause, but the incident in which his knee was injured was when he was just not up to the speed of the game. Watching the replay it was even commented on at the time that he was not ready for the speed of AFL. My point is just that the contest he was injured in may not have happened if he had had more match time leading up to his return.

And in the end, I'm not trying to make it sound like that's how it is, just saying you could potentially argue those things.

That's the point I'm making mate. See my post above for more clarity about that.

You could potentially argue anything. But you continually to "potentially argue" that players came back too early.
