Re: Preseason Injury Update

No updates from the club yet - however known injuries are:

* Stringer - Ankle - 3 weeks

* Williams - Foot - unknown

* Roberts - hip - unknown

Any others?

Higgins is still to be assessed but is likely after a foot complaint.

Great! Four of the best candidates for starting forwards positions. All injured. Just great

What's with the "unknown" diagnosis?

Surely they have some idea?

I wrote that as there is no information available.

Ahh thanks BAD, your description is probably more accurate than any official one anyway.

Saw this posted on bigfooty, it's apparently from the herald sun website.

Tom Williams
Foot: Has rejoined the main group after post-season surgery, giving the Dogs a clean bill of health.

That was posted awhile ago in the HUN. The latest from the HUN:

INJURIES

Luke Dahlhaus (cork) available
Jake Stringer (ankle) 1-2 weeks
Easton Wood (hamstring) 1-2 weeks

No mention of Williams, Higgins or Roberts

Re: Preseason Injury Update

Stringer on the footy show mentioned he's back running and should be right for round 1.

I wonder if he will debut or play at VFL Level.

You couldn't possibly play him on such a limited prep.

Has he even played a 1/4 of AFL footy yet?

Our forward line has been so dysfunctional that I would just start playing Stringer straight away. Overriding decision confirming benefit after weighing all relevant considerations: if Stringer is at FF, Cordy won't be.

Re: Preseason Injury Update

Wood seemed to be running up the stairs to the coaches box with ease today, didn't look like a man with a Hamstring problem.

Wonder if Jake could be a sub?

I'd be inclined to give him a 2-3 weeks at Williamstown to start off with. Let him get an itch whilst running into further match fitness and hopefully form.

It's a long season, and irrespective of him being able to run in recently though missing a couple of weeks players really get a lot of match fitness in the last two games before the season propper. He'd be a little bit behind right now, even playing as the sub.
