Bit of a blow as you said.
I'm a big VDM fan, even if his last 2 or so games were pretty average. We're just a much more dynamic side when he's in it and playing well.
Let's get him right for finals.

Still feel it but at least I can run.
One thing with Stef he is a late comer to Footy so hopefully he has this year and next left in him. Started the season pretty fit, and lets hope this injury is minor.

At least one of them is the bye.

It was from Stevo, apparently we will be conservative.

Re: Injury List - 2021
I don't know exactly what this says about us (and Bevo) but it's interesting.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Wood to miss a month
Veteran defender Easton Wood is expected to miss at least the next month of football after sustaining a hamstring injury on Saturday night.
Wood was subbed out of the game in the first quarter, as the Western Bulldogs notched their eighth win for the season.
“In the first quarter of the game on the weekend whilst accelerating into a contest, Easton suffered a hamstring strain,” head of sports medicine, Chris Bell, said.
“With clinical assessment today and an MRI, we can confirm that is a moderate grade injury.
“We expect Easton to miss the next 4-6 weeks of footy.”
Ryan Gardner (shoulder) will be available to return from injury this week, with Lachie Hunter (hand), Tim English and Jamarra Ugle-Hagan (both concussion) all tests.
“Although we tried hard to get Lachie up to play (against Port Adelaide), he was hampered by some swelling,” Bell said.
“We’ll continue to work with Lachie this week, to determine his availability towards the back-end of the week.
“Tim fully trained without contact last week and still wasn’t quite 100 per cent.
“We’ll continue to monitor Tim this week, and once he’s fully recovered we’ll return him to availability.”
Injury list
Gardner (shoulder) available
English (concussion) test
Hunter (hand) test
Ugle-Hagan (concussion) test
McLean (knee) 1-2 weeks
Richards (ankle) 3-4 weeks
Martin (Achilles) 3-4 weeks
Vandermeer (knee) 3-6 weeks
Wood (hamstring) 4-6 weeks
Jong (hamstring) 8-10 weeks
Dunkley (shoulder) 8-10 weeks

Re: Injury List - 2021
I didn’t realise Vandermeer had a knee issue.
Good to see Dunks down to the 8-10 range. That has him on track for rd 19. Be good to get him a few games in for a chance to play finals with match conditioning.

Martin 3-4 weeks has snuck up on us. I thought it was a 1-2 weeker 2 weeks ago.

Achilles are a pr**k of an injury, not surprised we're being conservative.
The messaging around Timmy is what I'm concerned about.

On English I’m staggered he didn’t get structural damage, so maybe that is what is holding him back?
More of an In Bruges guy?

Re: Injury List - 2021
Is Dunks ahead of schedule? Think it was 16 weeks as a worst case scenario when he did it so 8-10 is very encouraging.

We've tried things out as well. Schache, Young, West in and pretty much straight out.

We are.being conservative with injuries giving plenty of recovery time. So more players on list used. It seems all players know the mantra.
