Injuries for Rd 1
I can't find any injury list online, but are we taking in our best 22 injury free for Rd 1? I can't think of anyone off the top of my head that is injured would be in the best side atm. Jack Steven will be fine apparantly from a slight ankle. Longer should be fine too if selected as 1st ruck.
Other than the below are there any other injuries?
Minchington - 4-6 weeks with knee
Patton - same with thumb
Freeman - same with hamstring
Heard someone mention Weller might be injured too.

Re: Injuries for Rd 1
obviously want Steven to be ok, but maybe more of a concern right now is Longer with his sore hip. you could argue Marshall despite looking good in ways just isn't ready to ruck a full game and take on such a responsibility at AFL level, and Hickey seems ineffectual in the ruck and a little tentative around the ground, so we need Longer to be at his best now, and getting better each week.

Re: Injuries for Rd 1
Agreed, we need Longer (whilst not a gun, he can match it with oppo top rucks) as Hickey looked off the pace in the last praccie match for whatever reason. Marshall needs to be given some seniors game time whilst he continues working on his craft at Sandy in 2018.Wrote for Luck wrote:obviously want Steven to be ok, but maybe more of a concern right now is Longer with his sore hip. you could argue Marshall despite looking good in ways just isn't ready to ruck a full game and take on such a responsibility at AFL level, and Hickey seems ineffectual in the ruck and a little tentative around the ground, so we need Longer to be at his best now, and getting better each week.

Re: Injuries for Rd 1
I thought Hickey’s game against Gawn was much better than Longer against Kreuzer.parkeysainter wrote:Agreed, we need Longer (whilst not a gun, he can match it with oppo top rucks) as Hickey looked off the pace in the last praccie match for whatever reason.

Marshall a far better bet than Billy Longersaurus.

Re: Injuries for Rd 1
Did you Drakeusaurus H. not see how high Billy gets and how his field marking has improved. Marshall is wonderful but Billy is damned impressive and deserves respect. We have two very gifted athletes but Billy has a much better resume at the moment. 2018 will be his breakout year, injury permitting, and our mid field will cash in. Marshall is a tremendous compliment not an either or proposition. I guess they will play in the same team often this year.

Re: Injuries for Rd 1
Name one other player I've bagged. Even the club itself tried to off load Billy at the end of 2016. One example in 42. You're on the ball BBMD. Ever bagged a player or thought they wouldn't make it? You're IQ is letting you down. You argue like a mad dog.BringBackMadDog wrote:FFS can you stop the stupid name calling? show some respect for our club and its playersDrake Huggins wrote:Marshall a far better bet than Billy Longersaurus.

Re: Injuries for Rd 1
This year will tell, Yorkeys, but as someone with 21 years in the recruiting game, my thoughts are Billy won't be a hero. Born 20 years too late. Would've been a star in the 90's. He hasn't got the goods to be that modern ruckman we need. Marshall and even Pierce are better long term prospects. Hickey may still be the answer. Can go forward, take a grab and kick a goal. Billy is in the pack with the others. We'll see. ATM, he is third in the race with Pierce closing quickly.Yorkeys wrote:Did you Drakeusaurus H. not see how high Billy gets and how his field marking has improved.
