Will be handy in the run home.
Bruce will be, but I don’t see a role for Toby unless he’s used as a tagger or maybe on a wing.

Or as a defensive-minded mid in the George Hewitt/James Harmes mould. He has the ability to successfully perform this role.

Would make for a big change to our midfield rotations which already has too many options to allow the time in there they desire.
Probably need it though from a functional standpoint because there’s too many ball hunters who don’t hurt enough in there at present.

Re: Injury List - 2022
Hopefully when Bruce is ready to come back in JUH is keeping him out
Don't piss off old people
The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...

Not sounding great for Garcia.
Sounds like another ACL
More of an In Bruges guy?

Can you walk around with an ACL and not have a limp? Fingers crossed the kid is ok

I think you can. The knee is a bit loose, but from my understanding you get immediate intense pain that dissipates reasonably quickly.
Unfortunately we need to prepare for the worst.

Re: Injury List - 2022
Promising news re Bruce, brings a lot of energy indeed. Hopefully we can get ourselves in a decent position, outside of Melbourne its a wide open comp that's for sure.

Good to see him at the VFL, in the huddle encouraging players at 1/4 time and 3/4 time

He is a true club man. Helping the AFLW team and now the VFL team.

Re: Injury List - 2022
Lots of doom & gloom in here, that injury list isn't that bad, only Keath would be a certain starter in our 22 besides Bruce from last year
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Missing two key Position players is a big loss

Under rating Toby. Injury free he would be a walk up start. Not so sure now after two knee recons.

You can walk around on it but it's very much straight line walking, you can't turn or prop.

Re: Injury List - 2022
Update after round 5
Western Bulldogs midfielder Riley Garcia is set for a stint on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury in Friday afternoon’s victory over North Melbourne.
Scans confirmed the 21-year-old has damaged some cartilage in his right knee after landing awkwardly in a contest during the second term.
Head of Sports Medicine, Chris Bell, says the youngster will begin rehab this week before the Club decides on a return to play date.
“Riley landed awkwardly from a contest in the second quarter and jarred his knee,” Bell said.
“When assessed during the game he had some catching pain in his knee that impacted his function, so he was removed from the game.”
“Scans have confirmed that he has damaged some cartilage in his knee.”
“This is the knee that Riley has had issues with in the past, including having an ACL reconstruction in 2019.”
“We will progress Riley as symptoms allow over the next 3-4 weeks, and will work towards a definitive return to play timeline following this.”
