Injuries & Suspensions

He's had ankle/Achilles problems his whole career. Missed half a dozen games in 2015 with an Achilles if I remember right. When you jump like he does, somethings gotta give!

What do you think you guys will do Bigruss? He is a massive loss (to my SC team too!) - Howard seems to have found a niche down back so I am sure they would like to keep him there

Hard to say without hearing the prognosis. I expect if it's short term Charlie, Doogs & Hoff probably just absorb his ruck minutes as it's possible we are a tad tall anyway.

If it's long term (gulp) then I think we have to play Frampton or Ladhams which I would not be comfortable with at all.

I'll be very surprised if we see Paddy before the bye, there will be absolutely no chances taken with him. Far and away our most important player.

I'm not sure if I would have picked Ryder if I knew about his Achilles problem, hmmm.
I'm keen to dump him, as I don't trust his Achilles now, but to whom? Not confident with the Rucks this year.
At the moment, Martin seems to be the best.

You blokes that picked Kreuzer and/or Ryder stay well away from Stef, thank-you, much appreciated , especially if you have Kennedy and/or Merrett , I think Jacobs looked much better.

missed the start of Game Day , what were the comments about Ryder's injury ?

[Beijing_Sting]

[Herbie66]

so innocuous

poor bugger , have to feel for him

 

[GoGeta]

Theres my first injury. Libba.

 

[GoGeta]

Libba out with a knee.

They are saying ACL tear

 

[BigRuss]

Hearing from a buddy at the club that they’ll announce Ryder as 3-4 but it’s more likely 5-6. It’s a trade for any owners either way I would think.

Patrick Dangerfield

Chris Scott told the media that a conservative mistake not to play Danger was better than an aggressive mistake to play him, but he looks to be tracking in the right direction for an Easter Monday return.

After seeing NicNat's performance yesterday, I'm sure most of them will jump on him instead.....and then later jump on Stef when NicNat predictably breaks down

Massive blow for @PAFC with Paddy Ryder out for 4-6 weeks with Achilles tendonitis. Charlie Dixon and Dougal Howard likely to share ruck duties @FOXSportsNews

Daniel Rich has ruptured a ligament at the front of his ankle. Will miss this weekend and then be assessed "week to week".

Glad Cox got a week, he needs time to get his marking confidence back. Also gives me another week to decide what to do with him, hmmm.

Tom Liberatore will miss the rest of the 2018 AFL season after rupturing the ACL in his right knee the Club has confirmed, and will undergo surgery on Monday night.

Western Bulldogs Medical Services Manager Chris Bell said the Club will support the 25-year-old throughout his rehabilitation.

‘’Unfortunately, Tom suffered an ACL rupture in the first quarter of the game on the weekend,” Bell told westernbuldogs.com.au.

“It’s the opposite knee to the one he had reconstructed back in 2015. Tom will go into surgery tonight to have that ACL repaired, and we’ll continue to support Tom in his rehab.”

Former Docker Hayden Crozier is also set for a month on the sidelines after his first official game in Bulldogs colours was soured by a knee injury.
