Injury List - 2022

[GVGjr]

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

It's not a comprehensive list but one injury to a KP defender is stretching things given we didn't do a lot to add some depth during the trade period.

So not ACL? That's good right?

It is, but I’m concerned with what is not being said. Especially considering it’s the same knee he’s had issues with when we drafted him.

It's a good point, it's all very vague.

Only cartilage damage does sound better than an ACL but it also depends on just how it's happened. Remember that a cracked patella ruined Adam Cooney's career.

[I'm Not Bitter Anymore!]

Lachie Hunter taking indefinite leave for personal reasons

Bevo saying during his press conference that Mitch Hannan is suffering delayed concussion.

He will be on the sidelines for a couple of weeks more.

10 injured above, plus Hannan and Lachie unavailable. Getting tight for replacements, but giving opportunities to others.

Nice to see Bruce and Darcy listed as weeks rather than months!

Does that mean we have a free slot for SPP mid season ?

Are you talking about the mid season draft and Hunter? I would think not at this stage since Bevo said we are expecting him back this season. To open a list spot up he would need to be moved to the inactive list and I doubt we would do that unless we were sure he wasn't returning this year.

Yeah , I meant the mid season draft . I was hoping we could unearth a hidden diamond somewhere . Are there any ruckman OR KPD in the leagues we could recruit ?

I don't think Hunter will be going on the LTI. I feel like Sam Darcy is our best chance at a mid-season draft pick, outside of an unexpected season-ending injury. Feet are so hard to get right and I wouldn't be surprised to see him suffer a setback that leads to the medical team making the call to rest for the year.

Obviously I hope he gets fit and plays some games instead!

Worst case scenario is a season-ending injury the week after the mid-season draft.

Mark Stevens reported on RSN that Sam Darcy is actually ahead of schedule and will start running soon. As you say JD doesn’t mean we still can’t wrap him in cotton wool.
