Re: Moz out for 8-12 weeks with minor ACL tear
That's normal people's time out with a knee injury though, and this is Moz. He'll just need to start on the bench in round 1, and warm into things half way through the first quarter.

Bevo spoke about Moz’s injury at the Family Day this morning and he alluded to him hopefully being available after the mid season bye round.

Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

That's no good but he will be back before you know it. Moz is one who just keeps going even when times a tough.

What rotten luck. We have had more than our fair share of injuries for a couple of years now. Surely the worm must turn soon.

Re: Moz out for 8-12 weeks with minor ACL tear
Surely he can at least get to 250 games. Shame he didn't play 300.
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

Re: Moz out for 8-12 weeks with minor ACL tear
Morris will not require surgery, but Bulldogs medical services manager Chris Bell said it could be 12 weeks before the club knew how long the defender would be out of action.
That might be a more concerning quote. Up to 12 weeks to know how long he'll be out for? I guess it's something that either heals on its own after that length of time, or if not, then maybe surgery would then be needed.

Let's hope it's the only major one for the year. As merantau said "Surely the worm must turn soon".

Dale Morris is like the Japanese Hot Springs, he laughs in the face of the average person's healing powers
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Poor Moz. He just can't take a trick. Hopefully he will play a role in the second part of the season.

Re: Moz out for 8-12 weeks with minor ACL tear
Been thinking about this a bit tonight. As much as I believe Moz is a resilient, tough SOB, I reckon that's it for him ☹️ The injuries are stacking up. They're not old man injuries but at his age you need things to go right on that front and it's just going a bit pear shaped in his twilight.
My prediction, a sad and grisly one. Comes back, blows it out again or tears a hammy within 3 games. Career over. Sorry for the negativity, it just feels like it's headed that way to me. He is a hero and deserves a much better exit from the game than that, so my fingers are crossed he wins a 2nd flag instead.
