    Re: Ill Brad Johnson to miss Hawks clash

    Johnno likely to miss Hawks
    By Jennifer Witham


    Another article obviously written from the same Eade interview. Sheds a little more light on selection for this week and also on some of the disappointing Round 1 performances.

    "Midfielder Nathan Eagleton is not yet in consideration for senior selection and will play for Williamstown while Shaun Higgins should be fine despite copping a knock to his calf on Sunday".


    "The virus has affected a few Bulldogs with Morris missing round one and Brian Lake, Jarrod Harbrow and Ryan Hargrave feeling off colour throughout the second week".

    Note: These are not Eade quotes, but rather statements made in the article by Witham.

    If it is anything like the bug I had, where I could not keep anything in - I feel for him.

    Sucks every little bit of energy out of you. I very rarely take sick days but I was off work for a week and still could have taken more. Two weeks later I sick have my days.

    Looks like a bad case of Yoda Speak (highly contagious think I).

    Yes, Still have my days is what I meant to say.

    Saw him walking around today, so he is out of bed, but didn't do any training. No rosy cheeks or a smile could be found.

    Higgins & Boyd were both on 'light' duties at training this morning.

    Interesting to watch the players do some goal kicking practice as training was finishing up. I must say that Hahn, Griffen & Murphy were kicking at about 1 in 4 from 40m out on slight angles. Pretty poor really. Liam Picken looked pretty sound with his technique.

    Is it true that fitness staff at football clubs try to limit goal kicking practice as it causes micro tears and fatigue in the quads?

    I wonder what this mystery virus is?

    I heard Grant Thomas on Monday night say this. That is, that even he as coach would be overruled by his fitness staff on the matter. Rumour also has it that it can lead to reduced kicking effectiveness on goal during matches but this would seem a bit far fetched

    I heard that too. I'm as amazed as Garry Lyon seemed to be.

    .
    Boyd was a bit sore, and Higgins worked in the boxing ring with the boxing coach.

    Was this mystery virus a bona fide reason for our less than par performance in Round 1? Our intensity was way down on what we showed in the NAB Cup GF.

    I had it about 3 weeks ago and knocked the crap out of me . I couldn't eat and felt like i'd been hit by a bus

    Well, it sounds like a pretty awful bug as described by fellow Woofer's! Perhaps it was the reason most of them looked so lacklustre in Round 1? A guess the next few weeks will tell us the story
