What a rollercoaster of emotions for current and ex-Fyfe owners.

First he gets struck down with the hammy and only scores 71. All owners - Booooooo

The diagnosis is 1-2 weeks but Peter Bell says 2-3 weeks so some trade and some hold.

Then he's back after just one week on the sidelines. Ex-owners - Boooooooo. Current owners - Yayyyyyy

Then he plays but only scores 84. Current owners - Booooooo. Ex-owners - Phewww

Now he is in doubt for this week. Current owners - Booooooo. Ex-owners - Phewww

After initially looking like the coaches who kept him made the right move after he missed just one game, it's now looking like ex-owners made the right call and can get him back at a much cheaper price than when he was traded out (If they decide to bring him back at all).

Such a fickle game!

Well summed up!

Such a fickle player!
This is Fyfe's 11th season and he has never played 22 games in a season.

So annoying...

In Round 3... I traded Dan Houston who was avg 70.70 at the time to Nat Fyfe who was avg 139.70 at the time... Looked like a fantastic trade.

Fyfe goes and gets injured first game for 71 where Houston outscored him for 76. The next week Fyfe missed so I got Budaricks's fantastic 28 as a replacement score and saw the departed Houston go and score 117, and last week Fyfe returns for a poor 84, and Houston goes huge again for 109.

That's just flat out rotten luck for a trade that looked so good on paper in Round 4. Sums up my season this year, just had so much bad luck.

Ouch. Yep, just plain bad luck right there.

Looked like the perfect move at the time.

I hope for your sake that Fyfe goes really large from here to make up for all that bad luck.

The full AFL injury list: round seven
https://www.afl.com.au/news/465389/the-full-afl-injury-list-round-seven
JULY 14, 2020



Another week and another injury concern for Sloane, who has had his fitness battles this season. This time it's a significant one, with the Adelaide co-captain undergoing surgery for a thumb fracture. It will see him miss at least the next month. Walker is expected to be available from his knee injury, while Atkins has made a faster than expected recovery and the Crows think he will be ready to tackle St Kilda next Monday. - Callum Twomey


The only question marks are over McCluggage and Robinson, but the Lions are confident both will play against GWS on Saturday with the nine day break between games. - Michael Whiting


The Blues remain hopeful scans will clear Cripps (shoulder) and Murphy (hip) of any serious damage, with the important duo both finishing Sunday night's win over the Dogs on the bench. Silvagni should put his name in contention to play this week after missing a fortnight due to a fractured rib, while Dow and Marchbank are outside chances to return from respective knee issues. - Riley Beveridge


The Pies have a number of injury concerns ahead of Thursday night's clash with the Cats. They expect Daicos to recover from an ankle injury in time to be available for selection, while Elliott (shin) and Scharenberg (ribs) should also be fit having finished last week's match on the bench. Reid should come into contention again soon after a long layoff with a calf issue, but youngster Kelly will miss the remainder of the season after being sent for surgery on a nasty elbow injury. - Riley Beveridge


The Bombers are hopeful McKenna's finger injury sustained in last week's win over North Melbourne will not see him miss much action, but it's not ideal for the speedy half-back in his disjointed season. Daniher continues to build up his training but the Bombers won't put a timeline on his return. Cutler will soon be ready for senior selection again while Heppell continues his recovery from ankle surgery. - Callum Twomey


Cox was a late out for the epic win over St Kilda but should be fit for Sunday's derby against West Coast. The two casualties from the Saints clash were Darcy (concussion) and Young (ankle) and the Dockers need more time to assess their recovery. Skipper Nat Fyfe picked up a cork in his left leg and felt some awareness in the right hamstring that caused him to miss a game, but he is confident he will face the Eagles. Sturt injured his ankle at training last Thursday and will be out for a fortnight, while Conca is progressing well from his low-grade hamstring strain and should return next week. - Chris Correia


Duncan is more unlikely than likely after being removed from the win over Brisbane with a minor hamstring strain at quarter-time. With an 11-day break to follow Thursday night, don't be surprised if the Cats hold him till then. Narkle's injury is more severe and he will be sidelined for most of the three-week stay in WA. The Cats believe Atkins' injury is now medium term, while Jenkins isn't expected in match practice this week. Stewart is making quick progress from surgery a fortnight ago and will join in parts of training this week. - Mitch Cleary


No new injuries for the Suns from their loss to Melbourne. Nick Holman copped a knee in the ribs but is fine to resume his place against Sydney on Saturday. - Michael Whiting


Lloyd suffered delayed concussion against Port Adelaide on Sunday so will be monitored this week. The Giants have a relatively healthy list with the main concern around key defender Taylor, who faces a stint of at least several weeks on the sidelines as he deals with a bacterial infection in two joints. Speedy half-back Williams is not quiet ready to return. - Callum Twomey

Patton is back on the sidelines because of a hamstring setback on Friday night, after missing the previous fortnight with a foot blister that became infected. Scrimshaw will also be missing for several more weeks, while the Hawks are yet to reveal how long they expect Lewis to be out for. Jarman Impey (knee) and Changkuoth Jiath (hamstring) impressed in their returns via a weekend scratch match against the Giants. Nash hurt a shoulder in match simulation a couple of weeks ago and didn't play in the practice game. - Marc McGowan


McDonald missed most of Saturday night's win over Gold Coast after copping an accidental poke to his right eye from Sun Charlie Ballard. He went to hospital after having some vision issues and was seen with a patch across that side of his face while on the bench but has recovered well. A decision on his playing status will be made later in the week. Outside of McDonald, the Demons again came through the weekend, including their scratch match against Sydney, without any concerns. Nathan Jones (soreness) played in the practice match after missing the previous week, while Charlie Spargo (ankle) wasn't listed on the injury report. - Marc McGowan


Cunnington is the big one here. He's missed three of the past four games and football boss Brady Rawlings says the 29-year-old won't return until he completes a full week of training, so he remains in doubt. Thomas is a concern, too, with the ankle he hurt on Saturday night and is set to miss some time. However, Ziebell is a good chance to be back after a fortnight out, while Anderson needs to pass a fitness test after being a late withdrawal last weekend. Scans confirmed Curtis Taylor escaped a facial fracture from his clash with Dylan Shiel. Nick Larkey (foot) and Luke Davies-Uniacke (groin) came through unscathed in limited minutes in North's scratch match against Essendon. Walker could play this week after missing the same practice game. - Marc McGowan


The Power will put Duursma through his paces later this week in an attempt to ensure he's fit to return from a hamstring issue, while Motlop is being monitored after suffering a concussion in Sunday's win over the Giants. Sutcliffe will miss the majority of the next month, having also hurt his hamstring in the side's victory over the weekend. - Riley Beveridge


No fresh concerns from Sunday's win over Sydney, but skipper Cotchin looks set to miss at least another week with his hamstring. Astbury has made a quicker than expected recovery from knee surgery and is a sneaky chance to return this week. Prestia and Nankervis are recovering from surgery in Melbourne, while Houli and Edwards opted to remain home with their families and will be out indefinitely. - Ben Sutton


The Saints escaped the loss to Fremantle without any major injury worries. Hannebery is at least a fortnight away, while Dunstan will be hoping he can put his hand up for selection by season's end. - Mitch Cleary


The Swans suffered a double whammy with stars Kennedy and Heeney going down. Heeney won't play again until 2021 after dislocating and rupturing an ankle, for which he underwent surgery on Monday afternoon. He will be in a moonboot for the next month. Kennedy will miss at least the next four weeks with a torn medial ligament. Franklin has increased his running but is still "a few weeks away", football boss Charlie Gardiner says. Sam Reid played limited minutes in his return in a scratch game against Melbourne at the weekend and is an outside chance to play seniors. McCartin has now missed the past three games with concussion symptoms but will train on Thursday. - Marc McGowan


Shuey's fitness will dominate the Eagles' thinking ahead of Sunday's Derby. Jones remains a further step back, while Hutchings is nearing a return to full training. Brander has now missed two weeks and will need to pass main training this week in order to put his hand up for selection. - Mitch Cleary


Hayden Crozier has served his one-match ban and should come straight back into the side. Lloyd is ahead of schedule and joined a longer training session last Friday with the players who missed out on senior selection. Dunkley returned to running on Tuesday but is still a while off. - Jourdan Canil

That's just flat out rotten luck for a trade that looked so good on paper in Round 4. Sums up my season this year, just had so much bad luck.
same plus moved B Smith and Bont on and brought in Hurn, Wingard.

Hurn looked to be playing Full Back last game and low TOG, resting him up or fitness issues. Maybe with a taller forward line Hurn goes back to back pocket.
