Injured Players Discussion Thread

[MC]

He has been having injury issues all pre-season as well. I have the cash to turn him into someone like Danger.

Don't think. Do.

Rocky having scans tomorrow.  Hoping he pulls up OK, don't want to trade him.

[Mat0369]

Don't think. Do.

I'm just deciding on who

[NickyBoy]

At this stage, I have to keep Rocky due to the fact that Barlow is crap and Rocky has more potential to hit the ton.  :-\

Lions say Tom Rockliff  extremely doubtful to take on Geelong. Rich and Mitch Robinson are still 50-50 @cmail_sport @superfooty

Couldn't care less if Rich doesn't play, it means I can field Adams for once haha

haha good point. All these Brissie boys missing (and with Brisbane playing last) will mean we can loophole some rookies and make an assessment then

[elephants]

I just hope they don't risk Robbo/Rich/Rocky and have them turn into long term injuries. The chances of Brissie being able to cause and upset over the Cats in Geelong coming off a shock-loss to the Giants is tiny af as is.

Agree with you WA guys. Rocky though may have to be seriously considered for trade.  Calf stems from his preseason hamstring tightness according to reports so need to really assess.   Some nice loopholes though Robbo with Milera and Papley.  Rocky with Kerridge and Bennedy.   And I do not have Rich.

Barlow is spudding up because of where Lyon is playing him

Rocky is injured, and at this early stage of the season I think he needs to go before Barlow

Michael Barlow never had amazing footskills and isn't at all quick. He plied his trade by winning a flowerton of the ball, linking up play and dishing it to better users.

I honestly think he must be injured if he can't do these things. He's clearly not covering the ground as well as he used to.

Robbo may be a chance to play against Geelong.

Midfielder Mitch Robinson is confident he’ll return from the Grade 1 calf tear that kept him out of the Kangaroos match.

“I’ll look after the calf, get all the rehab done. Hopefully I’ll be back against Geelong, shutting down Dangerfield,” Robinson told listeners on l last weeks From the Players’ Lounge" podcast.

Couple of updates for you

Michael Whiting ‏@MichaelWhiting 12m12 minutes ago

Good and bad news 4 @brisbanelions. Scans show no tear for @rockwiz38 (calf) or @daniel_rich10 (hammy) but both in doubt to play Cats. @AFL

So both in doubt

and the big one for those who may be looking for upgrades

Michael Whiting ‏@MichaelWhiting 2m2 minutes ago

@beama9 is coming along strongly and could be available as early as Rd.4 against @GoldCoastSUNS. Rd.5 or 6 at worst with no more hiccups.

So we will have a couple of weeks to observe Beams when he starts then decide on the upgrade maybe Rd 8 or 9

Sounds like a fantasy irrelevant role though if he genuinely intends to play on Danger.

From Leppas press conference

"Captain Tom Rockliff (calf) and Daniel Rich (hamstring) left the match early, but Leppitsch said both were minor problems and might not need scans."

So we wait this week.

Rich and Rocky went for scans today
