Re: Injury List - 2016

Thanks Borna, it can be difficult to get a clear view of the injury status this year. It will be interesting to see if Libba is actually available this week.

Yeah, communication has not been the best. Tom Campbell has been out for two weeks, yet we hear nothing.

Dahlhaus is still 2 - 3 weeks away.

Stringer sideline stint to be short

Jake Stringer has been ruled out of the Bulldogs’ upcoming Saturday night match against St.Kilda, but the AC joint injury he suffered against Gold Coast at the weekend is unlikely to keep the forward on the sidelines for long.

Speaking to westernbulldogs.com.au, Western Bulldogs GM Football, Graham Lowe revealed scans have come back with positive news, and the Club are hopeful that the 23-year-old will be back to face Geelong Friday week at Skilled Stadium.

“The scans have come back and cleared him of any serious ligament or bone damage, which is great news," Lowe said.

“Based on the information we’ve got today, we’re optimistic that Jake is going to be in a position to be available for selection next week against Geelong.”

The news isn’t as good for ruckman Tom Campbell, who has been sidelined by a foot injury.

“Tom Campbell has got a stress fracture to his heel,” Lowe said.

“He’s going to be in a CAM boot for the next three weeks, and once he comes out of that CAM boot, we’ll assess him with a view to determining a time line for his return.”

Meanwhile, Nathan Hrovat is expected to resume playing this weekend after a sideline stint with a shoulder injury.

“Nathan had an AC reconstruction some time ago and he’s progressed really well, so subject to him progressing through training this week, he’ll be available for selection, which is great news for Nathan and great news for us,” Lowe said.

Midfielder Tom Liberatore will be assessed during the week with a view to a return against the Saints, as he recovers from the rib injury he incurred against Richmond.

So 2 to 3 weeks then.

True that ledge. Hopefully we keep getting more in than out but that's the way footy goes.

Must say I saw Bob Murphy at the game Sunday .. You wouldn't know he was injured .. Walking briskly across the ground in tight jeans doing fan photos

Re: Injury List - 2016

Great to hear Bob is in great spirits despite the injury. From what we've heard he seems to be tracking along well and look forward to see him back next season.

Bob = The heart and soul of our footy club

Listened to an interview with Ted Whitten Jnr on SEN last week. He spoke about his three knee recos and explained that, in those days, the patient would be in a full leg cast for 7 weeks, prior to going into a smaller cast for another few weeks. Then the (now wasted and withered) leg would then need to be redeveloped just like a break. Three times was understandably enough for him!

The differences are remarkable, nowadays. Surgery's come a long, long way!

Great news about Jake. Don't want to go hunting during the finals without him.
