No injuries from AFL match. JUH has a laceration on his thumb and is a test to play this week. Hannan and Garcia to both join in full training and if they get through that will be available to be selected. No mention of Schache or anyone else.

That's a relief. If it was a break or dislocation, could have messed with his biggest weapon (marking). Excited to see what Hannan and Garcia can bring to our forward mix.

Gardner out for 6 to 8 weeks with AC Joint, same injury as Crozier

Gardner out for 6 to 8 weeks with AC Joint, same injury as Crozier

That’s gonna hurt us given our poor KPD stocks. But it gives the likes of Young and Cordy the chance to cement their spot in the side. It also means our mids need to continue to pressure the ball handler to make it easier for our defence.

Gardner set for sideline stint

Emerging defender Ryan Gardner looks set to miss up to two months of football, after sustaining a shoulder injury in Good Friday’s big win over North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium.

The 23-year-old suffered an AC joint injury early in the first quarter, forcing the Bulldogs to activate their medical sub in Pat Lipinski.

Gardner will have surgery this week.

“Ryan had some side impact in the opening minutes of the game, that damaged his AC joint,” Head of Medical Services, Chris Bell, said.

“The AC joint was damaged to an extent that did require surgery, and we expect ‘Gardy’ to miss the next six-to-eight weeks of football.”

Off-season recruit Mitch Hannan has also suffered a minor setback, colliding with a North Melbourne player in the third quarter of the VFL scratch match at VU Whiten Oval on Good Friday morning.

Hannan did not return to the field after the incident, in what was his first hit-out since overcoming a persistent groin injury over the off-season.

“Mitch has come in really well, so we’ll work closely with our doctors through our concussion protocol,” Bell said.

“We fully expect Mitch to be available for our round one VFL match in the coming weeks.”

Injury List

Mitch Hannan (concussion) – test

Hayden Crozier (shoulder) – 1-2 weeks

That sounds promising.

AS Bevo mentioned the other day, at least with a shoulder injury, the player can still run and keep up their fitness.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Surprised to see that Toby is only 8-10 weeks away. That could see him available early/mid July.

He must be running well ahead of schedule.

Crozier a chance for Suns clash

Influential defender Hayden Crozier could be in line to return this week against the Gold Coast Suns.

Crozier has missed the first four rounds of the season, after sustaining an AC joint injury in the Bulldogs’ pre-season match against Melbourne.

However, he has returned to full training and could be back to face the Suns.

“He’s travelling really well and has a good block of training under his belt,” head of sports medicine, Chris Bell, said.

“If he gets through full training this week like we expect, he will return to availability.”

The return of Crozier would help to offset the loss of All Australian half-back Caleb Daniel, who will miss this week due to a one-week suspension.

Experienced backman Easton Wood, who has returned strongly from a hamstring injury over the past fortnight, believes Crozier is every chance to play.

“It’s pretty quick – a remarkable recovery if he can get back, it was a pretty nasty AC joint injury,” Wood said.

“But he’s tough as nails, ‘Crozzy’, he’s an incredibly strong man so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him get up.”

Mitch Hannan (concussion) test
Hayden Crozier (shoulder) test

come back through the VFL in my opinion

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Given he featured in both practice and pre season games, I think he was clearly earmarked as in best 22.
If he's been able to maintain his fitness levels, then I'd be happy with him being selected this week.

Any update on Williams?
