Pointless post.

Why is it pointless? It's true. We were streaming downfield and then a regulation chip pass doesn't hit it's target, next thing we lose our key forward. I'm not blaming Sparrow but it's bloody frustrating after what was a frustrating first half with players going half arsed.

'Cooked' is a tediously overused term. Suggest it be put in the fridge.

Off topic, I'll grant you, but 'cooked' perfectly describes James Harmes. My goodness he has declined as a player.

Like your optimism and excited for Jefferson in the future... but a bit worried he would be snapped like a twig at this stage 😂

If JVR could notget a game a year ago when we were in desperate straits up forward there is zero chance of us debuting Jefferson this year

I mean I’m no expert but judging Petty’s spirits after the game I highly doubt it’s a long term injury.

I misread this as sprints and thought that there was an excess of pessimism here.

I don't get why some people would facepalm this. Obviously Petty is first choice but who else is left. Fritta of course but that only gives us one tall. It ain't gonna be Bbb, schacke or Tmac.

Dunno - Schache could be an answer up forward if someone can give him some angry pills.

He's ready to play but imv would need at least a week or two at Casey to gain match fitness and form before being seriously considered.

Earliest would be Rnd 23 but more realistically the final round vs the Swans IF he can get his match fitness / form at Casey to a level that warrants a call up.

Tom McLazarus!!??

Tom would certainly attack with all his ability. And he does have firm.

You better be right or there will be big, big problems.

Injured because of a terrible kick inside 50 that should've hit him on the chest 🤬

Absolutely...Sparrow if Im not mistaken....his disposal was ordinary all day in my opinion

[Older demon 2,793]

If it is mid foot it is either a fracture or a Lisfranc. Goody was very clear it isn't ankle and given the injury he had mid season which was a ligament I reckon Harrison has a fair idea of the severity. I doubt we will see him again this season.

Even with a mid foot sprain it's still 4-6 weeks

[DemonWA 3,936]

I'd like nothing more than TMac to get a game and wind back the clock. For me only BBBB and TMac can play with JVR if were only playing 2 out and out tall forwards. 

When Fritta comes back in it'll be very interesting to see what mix they go with. Can't deny that Milkshake has shown his class lately. 

I don't think it's time to go with Grundy yet.  having said that goody might want to give it a go pre-finals to see how it looks again, potentially with Max having more ruck minutes than he did earlier in the year when they both played 

[deejammin' 2,374]

Such incredibly bad luck for Harry just as he was hitting top form as a forward. I think it’s time for Grundy. Especially against Carlton with their two rucks (Pittonet, De König) Max needs a chop out and Brodie has done his four week forward craft/freshen up.
 

Brodie won’t give us what Petty does but he will give a contest and hopefully a few marks, possibly one or two goals but importantly he’ll give a lot in the ruck and allow JVR to play forward the whole game. He also lets Max drop behind the ball more while Brodie takes more forward half throw ins also.
 

Of all our options this one has the most possible upside in terms of a flag now that Petty looks to be done. We’re winning clearances now and getting plenty of supply, clean up our kicking and Grundy will contribute, it’s become overblown how big a ‘problem’ he was forward. There were games like our Collingwood win and other early season wins where he kicked multiple goals and looked good coming back from a full season off. Our last Carlton win relied on Grundy rucking so Max could hit the scoreboard as a forward, it can work! Brodie’s hungry, he’s learned some new skills, let’s go for it, while hoping Petty has a miracle sprain and is back for finals.

Very true, however my mail is LIsfranc which is just awful.

Yeah that's about season done unfortunately. 

[Demondan75 188]

Get him onto McQueens tomatoes, and it's two weeks at most.

Someone from within the club on the Foxtel coverage, was saying that it’s a recurrence of the foot injury he had earlier this year that kept him out for six weeks.

Lisfranc/midfoot sprains can have varying grades of course. 
 

The “typical” lisfranc is a full rupture + fracture dislocation which sounds just as bad as it is. This is the one you hear about taking ages to recover as it takes a lots of metalwork to get it all put back together which creates other problems. 
 

You can have a mild Lisfranc sprain which is just a sprain of the Lisfranc ligament which is treated more normally as a more severe sprain, making sure that the stability of the foot is there before returning to sport. this is more in the 5-8 week category. 
 

Going from Goodwin’s press conference a few weeks ago he let slip his last injury was a Lisfranc this year which took bang on 6 weeks to recover. I can’t remember if this one is the same foot or not? If it is then it might add a few weeks to the recovery but fingers crossed. 
 

There are a few other physio on here so feel free to add if you have any other views!

This sucks for Petty and is very rough for us, for the reasons we all are well aware of.

It undoubtedly does. But it's conceivable that Petty wouldn't have a premiership medal if it weren't for Tomlinson's knee injury (suffered at the same dung-heap I believe). The reverse may play out this year. Smith was another who could be considered unfortunate to miss out in 2021, due to chronic bad luck with injuries, and may just take Petty's place, due to the latter's current chronic bad luck with injuries. Karmic rebalancing is the best positive spin I have.

How does it go from Syndesmosis to lisfranc?

Because it’s not an ankle it’s a mid foot injury according to Goody. 
Doesn’t mean it’s a lisfranc. It can’t be diagnosed until they get medical imaging done. It’s only a guessing game now. 
I am sure the dreaded injury report will be out soon enough to give us more bad news.

I'm scared it's both high ankle and the mid foot. From the vision at the time and the way it moved I would have sworn ankle. 

Another day of sweating, I hate football.

He was pointing and holding his foot on the bench so it appears to be the foot. But who knows.

The footy gods are cruel bastards. Took us 19 rounds to settle our forwardline and two weeks later it’s blown up in our faces. It’s just the worst!

[deejammin' 2,374]

SEN reporting mid foot sprain 5-6 weeks this morning.

The way his ankle moved I was certain ligaments overstretched. If they didn't then that is something to hang the hat on.

Obviously the foot stuff could be terrible though. I need help.

It will be of no surprise if it’s a 3-6 month injury

5 weeks until our first final.

You doubt we would risk him, but he could be back for a prelim/semi if we make it.

We'd be looking at preliminary final return if that's the case.
