Christensen?

Listed as out with a shoulder injury. Does anyone have any info on the extent of his injury? I have stuck by him since round 1 and he is my 8th forward when all my forwards are playing if that ever happens but with buddy, d smith and taylor adams also out I'm copping his donut. I'm not going to trade with only 3 left, just wondering has any info on him. I'm hoping since he wasn't on the injury list 9that I know of) his injury in relatively minor and he should be back next week. Any info would be appreciated.

He has been a pain in the ass all year.

I upgrade devon smith to him round 6 when he looked like he was having a bit of a breakout. He then got injured and devon smith tonned up. My worst trade of the season....

Currently I'm playing him as a D7/8 with zorko or as mid cover

Yeah ok but does anyone know when he will return? As I said I would presume it would be pretty soon as he wasn't listed on the injury list that I know of, though was very quiet last week, scoring only 50 odd without a vest of any kind.

Yeah sorry

I would presume he wouldbe back next or the week after as there hasnt been any major news about him and an injury. HOwever I didn't watch his game last week so perhaps he picked up something

Geelong young gun Allen Christensen has been ruled out with a shoulder injury and replaced by first-year player Jordan Murdoch.

Christensen has seemingly succumbed to the "stinger" he copped against the Gold Coast two weeks ago, despite playing against Collingwood last Saturday night.

Its sort of a recurring theme with him isnt it, in and out of the side played 16 games last year and after missing this week will hav played 11/17 he's great wen he plays but not very reliable so far

henry · July 20, 2012, 05:16:58 PM

Ok thanks all. Hopefully he will be back next week.
