Re: Injury List - 2016
Thanks for the updates.
Minno has been trucking along all year in the V. Has a good, break even record against Goldstien.
Roughy is doubled over half the time. I love the guy, but needs a rest.
Minno usually only misses games due to suspension. One of the most durable rucks going.You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships every day. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity. ― EpicurusComment

Big Will has been an asset to the Club. We know he always gives 100% so if he gets the call up he will be ready to fire![URL="http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau"]http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau[/URL]

Dogs optimistic on Libba and Macrae, defensive trio chance to return
Western Bulldogs midfielder Tom Liberatore has undergone surgery to his ankle, following the Club’s match against Geelong on Friday night.
Liberatore sustained a syndesmosis injury to his left ankle in a tackling contest in the second quarter of the match.
Subsequent scans revealed ligament damage, with surgery required to stabilise Liberatore's ankle.
“He’s come through [the surgery] really well so our plan is to get him up and running from a rehab perspective as quick as possible," Western Bulldogs Bulldogs General Manager Football, Graham Lowe said on Monday.
“We need to manage it the right way but we’re optimistic that Tom can play a key part for us towards the end of the season.”
Fellow midfielder Jackson Macrae sustained an upper hamstring injury during the match but Lowe is optimistic about the timeline of Macrae’s recovery.
“It has got some tendon involvement which means it will take that bit longer but Jack will commence rehab in the coming days and we’re optimistic he’ll have a role to play toward the end of the season.”
In further encouraging news, the Dogs could welcome back Dale Morris, Matthew Boyd and Matthew Suckling for Saturday night’s clash with North Melbourne.
Defender Morris has progressed well through the weekends’ training, while Boyd and Suckling will also be given an opportunity to prove their fitness after missing Friday night’s match with their respective achilles concerns.
“They’ve both come in today and they’ve both trained over the weekend, so we’ll assess them through this week of training with a view to being available for selection this weekend," Lowe said.
The news isn’t as good for first-year defender Kieran Collins who injured his shoulder playing for Footscray at the weekend.
Collins will go in for scans on Monday to assess the injury.
Meanwhile Bailey Williams has continued to experience low level symptoms that have failed to respond to the conservative management plan for his knee injury.
“We’ve decided that he will require and arthroscopic investigation which he’ll have today to assist in his ongoing symptoms,” Lowe told BulldogsTV.
“We’re hoping that his return to play timeline will be quite short and he is planning to resume running next week.”Comment

Re: Injury List - 2016
So based on our previous misleading statements about injuries, we have no hope of getting Libba, Macrae or Williams back this year.
2016...the year that could have been.
Think the comments about Roughy's durability are off the mark. Always in the hands of the trainers at least once per match but he's hardly missed a game.I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.Comment

Re: Injury List - 2016
I take that as Libba and Macrae are both cooked for the season. Especially Macrae.. High hamstring, tendon. Not good.Comment

Re: Injury List - 2016
I take it that both Tom and Jack will be available come finals time.But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.Comment
