Any word on Hrovat and the chest/rib injury that forced him off early in the game?

Young Western Bulldogs midfielder Nathan Hrovat spent Saturday night in hospital with breathing difficulties after breaking a rib in the team's opening NAB Challenge game.

The Bulldogs do not have a NAB Challenge game this week but the small running player will miss the Dogs' next game on March 14. However, he could be available for NAB Challenge round three and then for round one of the season proper.

Hrovat came off the ground and mentioned to the Doctors he couldn't breathe. Just as he was given an Inhaler Libba went down clutching his knee. All the doctors raced to Libba, so Hrovat decided that he would just go back on... He ran 10 metres and looked liked he had just ran 2 marathons. He came off and was wheezing pretty badly. It didn't look great for him at all. Sounds like he should be back for Round 1 though which is great news

It's going to be really sad seeing Libba - Knee - Season in every updated on this thread

Darley and Biggs - Minor complaints from Training

Clay Smith - Back to Full training

Prudden - concussion, so will be tested to see if he can play in Intra Club this week.

I'm worried that with Libba Jnr out, we'll rush Claymore back too soon.

Shane Biggs has sustained bone bruising in his knee which has put his standout preseason on ice for the moment.

Any news on Prudden?

Apparently heard that he did quite good in the intra club game today.

Been a tough off season in so many ways.

Must be very disappointing for the young man, after having a good first pre-season at the Club. I was quite optimistic he'd play early in the year and become an important part of our new look game plan.

Hopefully he recovers well and we get to see him in the senior side by mid-season.

Hamstring setback for Shane Biggs

The Bulldogs playing group has emerged from Saturday's intra club hitout unscathed, leaving Senior Coach Luke Beveridge a near full compliment of players to select from for the weekend's NAB Challenge match in Ballarat against Melbourne.

Speaking with BulldogsTV, GM of Football Graham Lowe said the Club's coaching staff were pleased to get through the weekend's internal fixture without any injury concerns.

“It was great to get the work into both groups of players, in fact all players, they got through it well,” Lowe said.

“It’s really pleasing, (we can) now build towards NAB (Challenge) two against Melbourne.“

Midfielder Josh Prudden was one player to make a successful return in the intra club match after being concussed in the Bulldogs’ opening NAB Challenge match against Richmond.

“He progressed well in terms of his symptoms through the week, and put himself in a positive place (to play in the intra club match),” Lowe said.

“It was good to be able to get him out on the track, get him playing, and he came through the game really well.”

Key defender Fletcher Roberts is another on the verge of returning to full training after a modified program in recent weeks due to groin soreness.

“There’s a chance to bring him back towards full training, and manage his training and game loads, and bring him back towards the season.”

Meanwhile, half-back Shane Biggs looks set to miss remainder of the NAB Challenge, after injuring his hamstring at training last week.

The 23-year-old former Swan didn’t take any part in Saturday’s intra-club match, and will be closely monitored as the Bulldogs prepare for their Easter Saturday home season opener against West Coast at Etihad Stadium.

“(Shane’s) unlikely to take part in the NAB Challenge, but we’ll keep on top of him and build him up in the appropriate way,” Bulldogs GM of Football Graham Lowe told BulldogsTV.

Tom Liberatore successfully underwent reconstructive surgery on his left knee late last week, with Lowe telling BulldogsTV that the reigning Sutton Medallist will commence his rehab program next week at the Club.

Tough break, he hasn't had much luck since he arrived.
