Injury List - 2016

Can Adams play in the first vfl final ?
That extra week is working in our favour

When both teams are in finals usually any player can play VFL

The unique issue is that there is a bye when the VFL finals start. Usually if an AFL team wins and earns week off, anyone who is eligible OR did not play in the qualifying final can play.

Re: Injury List - 2016

I noticed something I read on the weekend (maybe Foxsports?) said that Adams injury was originally touted to be do 2 weeks and was now up to 7..... I don't think we are the only ones noticing our pinnochio-style reporting of injuries! I reckon Bevo said 1 week for Toyd's shoulder and that was 6-7 before he played VFL.

It has been insipid. McLean's 'should be right' - went to 'moon boot for 2 weeks'.....he's been out for 3 months.

Put a line through Adams for this year. And we shouldn't be holding our breath on Libba or Macrae.

I think Toby was out for about 6 weeks not nine, but it's been frustrating .

Midfield trio set for weekend return

The midfield trio of Tom Campbell, Bailey Williams and Mitch Honeychurch are all expected to return from injury this weekend after varying stints on the sidelines.

24-year-old ruckman Campbell had been sidelined by a stress fracture to his heel, and is expected to line-up for his first match in a month this weekend.

Honeychurch had been kept out of action by a hamstring strain, while a medial ligament injury had prevented Bailey Williams from taking to the field.

“They’ve all progressed really well through their training and their rehab,” Bulldogs General Manager, Football Graham Lowe told BulldogsTV.

“So subject to them completing their training and ticking their final boxes (this week) they’ll all be available for selection this weekend.”

Meanwhile, midfield pair Tom Liberatore and Jack Macrae continue to make good progress in their rehabilitation from respective ankle and hamstring injuries sustained in the round 19 match against Geelong.

“Both Jack and Tom are progressing really well, and we remain optimistic that they’ll contribute to our finals series.”

Dale Morris will continue to be monitored through the week to assess his availability to face the Bombers on Sunday afternoon after missing Friday night’s clash against Collingwood.

“Moz is continuing to carry some back related hamstring tightness,” Lowe said.

“He’s an integral player for us so we’ll manage and monitor him over this week with a view to confirming his availability for this weekend."

Marcus Adams is another who continues to be monitored in his return from a foot injury.

Adams will miss the remaining two home and away season matches as the Club looks to advance his training for a finals series return.

“Marcus has had a slower recovery than we’ve hoped for, and we’ve taken a cautious approach (with his rehabilitation).

“We’re aiming to progress his training over the next few weeks with a view to him playing a role in our finals series.”

Re: Injury List - 2016

Now they've just decided to take the safe option and give no time frames for any injury. More accurate I guess.

Pretty annoying.

'Optimistic they will contribute to finals campaign' sounds even best case, it will be sometime during the finals rather than the first week. My guesses are...

- Adams back QF week but would be a massive risk to bring him straight in.
- Macrae I am guessing semi-final
- Libba prelim

Our injury list in the future will read

Adams - Soonish
Libba - A ways away
Macrae - a little while off
Campbell - Maybe now?
Williams - We'll see
Morris - probably this week
Honeychurch - Yeah I reckon he's pretty close

Re: Injury List - 2016

They must be 100% and ready to go. No one should be underdone and rushed back in.

Well yeah I'm not sure what's going on there. He certainly hasn't been in form and needs to get that back. Jake was certainly better up forward last year than this year.
