Murphy (captain, gun), Smith (1st rounder, potential gun), Libba (out and out gun) & R. Smith all in the cycle of knee injuries, and coming back from them. Dear Footy Gods, that's enough.

Bob’s blow confirmed, Dickson and Wood in the mix


The Western Bulldogs’ early prognosis has been confirmed, with scans to skipper Bob Murphy’s left knee revealing a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.


Murphy went in for scans on Monday, with the results confirming what had been suspected on Sunday evening after the Dogs' three-point loss to Hawthorn.


“Bob’s scans have just come in and they do confirm that he has ruptured his ACL and he has some medial ligament damage as well," Football Manager Graham Lowe told westernbulldogs.com.au.


“We’re going to give Bob as much time as he needs to consider his position, and [his] plans for moving forward.

“The Club will support him in any way we can to make sure we support him in making the right decision for him and his family.”

In other injury news, forward Tory Dickson’s return to the top level is one step closer, with Lowe confirming that the 28 year-old should be available for selection for the upcoming weekend of football.

“Tory’s trained really well, he’s progressed into full training so we’re looking forward to him putting himself in a position to being available for selection this week, so that’s great news for Tory.”

Vice-Captain Easton Wood was a late withdrawal from Sunday’s game against Hawthorn with hamstring tightness, Lowe saying the All-Australian defender has not been ruled out of the clash with the Blues on Saturday night at Etihad Stadium.

“Easton had some hamstring tightness progressing into the game last week, he said.

“We didn’t’ want to take any risks so we withdrew him from playing.

“He’ll need to tick all of the boxes this week to make sure he’s fit and available to be selected.”

Player	Injury	Duration
Tory Dickson	quad	available
Easton Wood	hamstring tightness	test
Nathan Hrovat	ankle	5-7 weeks
Clay Smith	knee	indefinite
Roarke Smith	knee	indefinite
Robert Murphy	knee	TBA

Scans have not been done yet. Doc Larkins says high grade hamstring is a given for Johannisen. Says anticipation is it will be an 8-10 week injury at best.

Let's hope for the best tomorrow.
