Brisbane Injury and suspension updates

[Ringo]

Thought I would start a thread so we can keep track of our injuries.\ and expected return dates.

April 8th Update - Round 3

http://www.lions.com.au/news/2014-04-08/green-hamstrung

Josh Green will miss this week
Daniel Rich Season - Opting for traditional surgery but in a good result it is only the ACL that requires reconstruction as none of the associated parts have been effected,
Luke McGuane will be tested this week
Claye Beams on track to return in three weeks.
Sam Michael 1 week
Patrick Wearden 12 weeks
Still no time frame for return of Brent Staker, Ash McGrath or Stefan Martin.
Daniel Merrett suspended

So 3 forced changes required this week.

Come Come on Sammy.

McGuane did not come up so will not be considered for Port.  maybe erring on the side of caution with the long plane trip to Adelaide especially with a knee injury.

[Capper]

Its not State of Origin time yet so i can give you guys a bit of sympathy.

Smacked with more injuries now and hopefully Hanley and Berger aren't out for to long

Dont expect more sympathy from me though

[strikes91]

McGuane back next week apparently. Green still a few weeks

[Ringo]

Was close Strikes and as i said think we erred on caution with the long flight to Adelaide.

Hanley is also now expected to miss 2/3 weeks.

Leuenberger had surgery on Tuesday morning to repair the meniscus and is expected to miss approximately 10-12 weeks.


Pearce Hanley also underwent scans on his hamstring yesterday morning.

Results revealed the midfielder has a grade one hamstring tear and is expected to miss approximately 2 weeks

List getting longer with only McGuane coming back this week. Injuries to McGrath and Stakes are a mystery and keep lingering.  Both involving calves.

Ruck department is stuffed... McGuane should hopefully slot into our forward line.

Pearce Hanley is a chance for the Saints this week if he gets trough the fitness test according to Rocky.

Its a pity longer left for more opportunity at St Kilda  ;)

We are developing 2 home grown rucks in Same Michael and Archie Smith to avoid the go home problem.  Archie Smith is developing every game and may be a handy back up.  Sauce will provide relief this week as well.

Matt Hass says both Green and Hanley are back this week. Saying the thursday night game meant they missed the last game

[elephants]
