So you are a helpful chap, thanks for the update :-[

^ *like*

course i am ;)

No even slightly concerned. Are we to believe that the Demons are playing ducks and drakes over the availabilty of a rookie (albeit a very good one)? As stated previously if it ain't on AFL.com or reported from a respected source then it's most likely BS.

I remember an FF thread from last year discussing these sites and how they have a vested interest in creating a buzz around player injuries in order to increase pageviews and revenue.

I'm not saying he wont be a late withdrawl but as of today he's listed as fit and is not subject to a fitness test.

Please don't take this as me having a go at you Grundles, I'm aiming this purely at injuryupdate.com

course not mate i actually agree with you ;D

Lol nice work to the guy who tweeted him just of DT lol.

He also bought new boots, signs are all good for the magnet to get his 2nd tonne in 2 weeks.

If he doesn't play, it will be problematic for coaches who opted to have him as one of your walk up starting 6. Before round one he was D8.

I rated Shiel, Coniglio & J-Mac ahead of him. If he plays his on field. Shiel bench.

Great stuff Grundles luv your work. ;D

DT site itself has Magner listed as "Ankle. Expected recovery time is indefinite."
Just another little update, still going to wait for the team to be named before doing anything, I have Shiel as an emergency as a back up anyway.
Also lists Zorko as having an indefinite recovery as well.

Yeah, just like to shoot a shout out to Master Q who wisely told me to start Magner over McDonald and Shiel ;D

I'm confused!!! Lol

Well if he doesn't play then clay smith is a walk in for starting spot.

Might be a problem there... Roy tweeted this:

No mention of anything on the Dogs' website... yet.

The best you can do is wait for teams.

With Clay, there had to be a reason he got subbed. I heard he had chronic muscle cramp.....Now he has an ankle injury?

He could be out, and struggle to get back in if Wallis & Libba fire each week.
