Opinion Injury/Suspension Updates

Anyone remember Relton Roberts?

Why did you have to mention that name again, I've only just finished the therapy sessions.

Gary Rohan out for a while, not SC relevant, but yet another position that needs rookie support for the Swans.

Anyone remember Relton Roberts?

Bitterly disappointed that he wasn't named the Bombers number 10.

I really hope Lonergan's ankle injury isn't too serious

Early days but the below article seems to be encouraging

Jesse Lonergan appeared to hurt his ankle badly and had to be helped off the ground by trainers, but Eade said the injury doesn't look severe.

"He got rolled as he was tackled and had his ankle caught underneath," Eade said.

"But it hasn't swollen up at this stage. I wouldn't have thought he'd play next week, but he'd be right for round one."


He's still in my team

Frustrating that we can't see him and Ablett in the same side before round 1 though.

Yarran back for round 1?

“Chris will most likely play a part of NAB 3 and a little bit of the intra-club the final week and be ready for Round 1,” teammate Bachar Houli told the Herald Sun yesterday.

“I think he can play (Round 1). He fully trained, it was a solid session and he pulled up fine from that, which is great.”

Despite Houli’s optimism, it remains likely the Tigers will take a conservative approach with their high-profile recruit and leave him out of the early rounds as he builds fitness.

Tigers coach Damien Hardwick said last month he didn’t expect Yarran to play senior football until about Round 7.

Scans also came back showing traces of glass reminding us all that this guy is far too brittle to pick in SC.

North Melbourne's Shaun Higgins could make a surprise return from knee surgery this weekend, confirmed Kangaroos Football Manager Geoff Walsh.

I have loved the look of him all pre season, and then this. It could either save me from disaster (more likely) or scare me off a big POD. Will he take part in the rest of the pre season or just start round 1?

Luke Goetz, Western Bulldogs, has been charged with misconduct (pushing the player over the fence) against Colin Garland, Melbourne, during the fourth quarter of the Round Three NAB Challenge match between the Western Bulldogs and Melbourne, played at Craigieburn on Sunday March 6, 2016.

In summary, his $1500 sanction can be reduced to a $1000 sanction with an early guilty plea.

Was never going near him, and the weekend is exactly why.

This just in from Geelong:

Does this benefit anyone in particular?

Lifted this comment off another post

Geelong assistant coach James Rahilly on Ruggles: "I thought Tom was pretty good. He gave us that rebound. He could come in. It depends what happens with Jackson."

Sad. Was looking forward to him developing in VFL team or the odd senior game.
