Re: The Injury Thread 2011

Update 4th May

Barry Hall (ankle) 1-2 weeks
Ryan Hargrave (ankle) Test
Shaun Higgins (groin) Test
Patrick Veszpremi (hand) 2 weeks
Easton Wood (ankle) 2-3 weeks
Gia - Test
Hudson - Test

I know it's a little late now but did we upgrade any Rookies for Wood or Hargraves' long term injuries (or were they not long enough?).

I think Barlow was for Hargrave, but has since reverted.

Re: The Injury Thread 2011

According to Rocket, "probably a week"

If he can play in a week after breaking a finger he is a sensation

OK I guess I was wrong...or Rocket was!

That's a star studded injury list

You could even add:

Brian Lake (unfit) 3 weeks

Re: The Injury Thread 2011

Dropped into Whitten Oval for a coffee this morning and a (pretty much) 2's group was on the track at the time. Was basically the bulldogs listed players who played reserves on the weekend plus Skinner - and Bazza came out and got amongst it for a bit.

Baz looked good - good energy and moved well out there.
Lake looked like a local footballer going through the motions.

Re: The Injury Thread 2011

He was listed as TEST

Why the need to YELL?

Desi was referring to the following article where it mentions that Vez will return this week.

Broken finger won't stop Veszpremi push

Re: The Injury Thread 2011

Great news about Vespa.
I want to see him string some games together and get into the Bulldogs side, where he belongs. Has been stiff over the years with bad luck on injuries.

Re: The Injury Thread 2011

In this weeks Fantasy Freako/champion data update it mentions this:

"Rocket Eade has already ruled out Shaun Higgins for another week. My
patience with him is running very thin with him, so if you’re in a position
to trade him out, offload him immediately. He can never be trusted ever
again!"

Is this confirmed? i hadn't seen it written anywhere yet.

Re: The Injury Thread 2011



A mate of mine went to the 2010 AFL injury conference the other day. He emailed me the report, nothing ground breaking but may interest some people.

Re: The Injury Thread 2011

Nice work Slim. Interesting to see the increase of injury to opposition team with increase in interchanges.

Wonder how this will change after the first season with the sub rule?
