    Ill Brad Johnson to miss Hawks clash

    Sam Edmund - Herald Sun - 7 April

    A VIRUS is likely to keep Western Bulldogs skipper Brad Johnson out of the Dogs' showdown with Hawthorn on Sunday.

    Johnson was a late withdrawal from the Bulldogs' team against Richmond last Sunday with the virus, which has caused vomiting and a fever.

    Dogs coach Rodney Eade said today the illness was of "Dale Morris proportions" - a reference to a bug that laid several Bulldogs players low before Round 1 and forced defender Morris out of the season-opener.

    "He (Johnson) has been crook for a couple of days," Eade said this morning.

      Re: Ill Brad Johnson to miss Hawks clash

      I've been one of the advocates to let Johnno straight in the side, but with him having this bad dose of flu maybe a stint at Willy this week might be the better option.

      I read that the Eagle wasn't in the mix this week either.

          I'd prefer he rest to be honest. If he's unwell playing for Willy wont help.

              The Doctors always say plenty of rest, he maybe right for training on Friday so the thought process was if he trains give him limited game time at Willy.

                  Johnno likely to miss Hawks
                  By Jennifer Witham


                  Another article obviously written from the same Eade interview. Sheds a little more light on selection for this week and also on some of the disappointing Round 1 performances.

                  "Midfielder Nathan Eagleton is not yet in consideration for senior selection and will play for Williamstown while Shaun Higgins should be fine despite copping a knock to his calf on Sunday".


                  "The virus has affected a few Bulldogs with Morris missing round one and Brian Lake, Jarrod Harbrow and Ryan Hargrave feeling off colour throughout the second week".

                  Note: These are not Eade quotes, but rather statements made in the article by Witham.

                      If it is anything like the bug I had, where I could not keep anything in - I feel for him.

                      Sucks every little bit of energy out of you. I very rarely take sick days but I was off work for a week and still could have taken more. Two weeks later I sick have my days.

                          Higgins & Boyd were both on 'light' duties at training this morning.

                          Interesting to watch the players do some goal kicking practice as training was finishing up. I must say that Hahn, Griffen & Murphy were kicking at about 1 in 4 from 40m out on slight angles. Pretty poor really. Liam Picken looked pretty sound with his technique.

                                  Yes, Still have my days is what I meant to say.

                                  Seriously, it is horrible.

                                      Is it true that fitness staff at football clubs try to limit goal kicking practice as it causes micro tears and fatigue in the quads?

                                          I wonder what this mystery virus is?

                                                  Was this mystery virus a bona fide reason for our less than par performance in Round 1? Our intensity was way down on what we showed in the NAB Cup GF.

                                                      I had it about 3 weeks ago and knocked the crap out of me . I couldn't eat and felt like i'd been hit by a bus

                                                          Well, it sounds like a pretty awful bug as described by fellow Woofer's! Perhaps it was the reason most of them looked so lacklustre in Round 1? A guess the next few weeks will tell us the story
