Buddy Injured !!!

[ricant01]

Watching the footy tonight and Franklin is sitting on the bench in a warm-up jacket. The commentators (as little as they know) are predicting that it is usually a few weeks for this type of injury. Also, they are playing GWS next week so im thinking there is a huge chance he might be rested.

Flower DT, Flower it to Hell...

I don't think there's a single serious DTer that wouldn't have him though?

[Capper]

yep GWS then dogs

Could do a JROO and just sit in the goal square waiting for the ball to kick a lazy dozen

Yeah, thats a good point. I have a feeling i can pick one of the big iscussion topics next week?

[JBs-Hawks]

Will just mean I won't need to decide between whitecross Martin and zorko.

[KoopKicka]

This is another headache I really dont need. :/

[Holz]

if he is out, it will hurt all those with zorko as F7. Even though i dont like to see any player injured having him out for 1-2 weeks wouldnt be the worst thing if he comes back firing.

hopefully Zaha returns next week so no damage is done (to my team at least)

[eagles929406]

just great, he can bring his packet of UNO and play with chapman and zaha on my fwd line bench :(

[Chelskiman]

My dad will be pissed.  I'm from Tassie and I'm going to Melbourne next week for a footy weekend.  My dad is a Hawk and we were going to see the Hawks/GWS game, so he misses out on seeing Buddy live at the G.

This is on the Essendon website. It says updated 25/6/12 but im not sure if this is just the existing injury or a new one???

after the game he said it was just tightness

calm your farm people

[pommyadam]

it's said that for weeks now
i'm of the impression that he'll be back around 15-16

Thanks mate. They should put on there "4 weeks from ...." so its a bit more obvious. So many players out there and its difficult to keep track of it all. I dont have him but it would be good to know.

i'm only speculating (and quietly hoping it's sooner rather than later)

though this gives an estimate of rd17
