Stop it, you guys. It hurts to remember ... such great players, such memories and then we realise their demise and the silent years that followed. Oh, it was absolutely fabulous, so continue. Just reading the above four sentences everything they did floods back at that is a real pleasure. What about Vagg, Bourke and others including the excellence of Norm the Smith? 

I have a memory of Norm seeming to be able to pull a rabbit out of a hat  at 3/4 time on quite a few occasions. Barry Bourke -great on a wing, full forward and back pocket-so reliable. Barrie Vagg-one day in 1966/67 when we were in the doldrums he won the game for us against Essendon at the G with 4 goals- beat both Barry Davis and Alec Epis.:)

The injury list is lookin good 

 

I love how Taj needed clearance from the surgeon to sweat post-surgery 😂😂

6 weeks for a dislocated fingure is very stiff, especially after working himself into serious contention to make his debut.

Our ruck stocks taking a hit.

Verrall Pelvis 8-10 weeks.

What a difference a week makes

Last week 1 player not available

This week.. 5

No mention of Petty so presume he is good to go

At one stage last week, the list was a brief one but now …

Injury and Suspension List: Round 3

Steven May - Calf | Test
Daniel Turner - Foot | Test
Kysaiah Pickett - Suspended | 1 Week
Josh Schache - Concussion | 1 - 2 Weeks
Max Gawn - Knee  | 4 - 6 Weeks 
Taj Woewodin - Finger  | 5 Weeks 
Christian Salem - Knee | 6 - 8 weeks
Will Verrall - Pelvis  | 8 - 10 Weeks 

Bummer for Fitzmagic2.0 getting in to the mystery injuries.

Hopefully Disco just misses the one week, would like to see him build some great form 

Salem 6-8 means he’s barely played any footy for 18 months. Is it the same knee he had trouble with last year?

Hard to see him making it back to Full Salem this year - which as others have pointed out, will make it 2 years in a row. Far from ideal, he's a key player for us.

Channel 9 said he had surgery on his knee.

According to Doctor Laura it is the same knee.

This time a little over a week ago, we had only Taj Woewodin on the injured list (and Kozzie suspended). We now have, in addition to the official list, Joel Smith on the injured list (again!), James Harmes on personal issues and there’s still a cloud over Steven May. Mind boggling how much the list has grown in a week.

I can’t understand why the Club doesn’t accept that his body is more suited to lawn bowls than footy.

 

Joel Smith has spent more time on an injury list than on a footy field. Gotta feel for him.

They've revised Max down to 3 - 4 weeks!  That was fast given it's only been one week and 3 days.  Fingers crossed!

Has there been any part of his body he hasn’t injured?
