Stanton back this week?

shuester · August 07, 2012, 07:57:17 PM

With Swanny out this week and the next I will be hoping to regain Stanton as I don't want both Adams and Gibson on my field unless really necessary. The article "In the mix" on afl.com says that he and a couple other bombers are close to senior selection while the bombers website has listed him as "test" and say they are hopeful he will be available for senior selection this week. Positive news but has anyone heard anything else?

watch The Hangar Wed night see what they say would say he is 75% chance to play he might get named but could be a late withdraw also so keep that in mind but given the importance of the bombers game i reckon he'll play

very doubtful. last thing they need is another "buddy" hammy

not sure if these facts are right but was it 14 days for a hammy.
By Sunday i think it's been 13

you never know

A hamstring is usually a 21 day injury.

Stanton didn't do his hammy though, he was dropped and they just used injury as an excuse so they don't ruin his rep.

Cheers for the info guys. The website also listed his injury as "Soreness".
"Brent will be closely monitored this week as his body recovers from general soreness. The club is hopeful Brent will be available this week."

my bet is that he will play, because Supercoach likes to do that to me..

i have Swan, my opponent has Stanton...

he'll play mate ;)

I hope he plays, my opponent has him! Haha

Agree with meow meow, no hamstring injury to be concerned about here. When the going gets tough Stanton usually pulls a disappearing act. It's happened before and will probably happen again.

so the week he got it why did monty have up that he had hamstring tightness during the game? to say he did not play on the weekend due to form is crazy with all of our injuries, we are not in the position to drop players out of form
