News Injuries & Suspensions

[Zoku Pops]

Ouch, Doch and Neale. What a great start to the day

 

[Bomber18]

Miserable finish to the year for me. Have Impey, Doch and Neale in my side and only four trades…..

 

[jaca]

Have Doc and Neale (who I traded in for Grundy) and still no Grundy... hmm. Lesson learnt.

 

[Connoisseur]

Wonderful. So this is what happens when I finally trade Cripps?
In the past 7 days since trading Cripps:
Impey- Season ending injury
Neale- Shoulder subluxation and calf injury
Sloane- Potential season ending injury
Docherty- Potential season ending injury

Luckily I will have 1 trade left after this round once Danger replaces Impey and will be able to join the No Trades Club next round.

Neale can’t take a trick this year. One injury after another. Got to feel for the bloke.

One of the most durable players in the competition before 2021.

2014-2020: 147/149


If I recall correctly, one of the two matches missed was due to suspension.

Neale & Madden urgh, natural selection getting rid of too many Lions in my team

 

[BigRuss]

Ugh, Cripps is going to be in my side all year now. Disgusting.

If we've ever had a clearer case of why you don't pick players with heavily interrupted preseasons then I can't remember it.

Just a reminder that preseasons do mean an awful lot.

AFL article about half an hour ago also stating that Neale is questionable for round 16 and that having to fly will reduce his chances of playing. Suddenly starting to look like a one weeker...

I hope you are right but I'm very dubious that a calf is a one weeker, especially for a team that really want him cherry ripe for the finals.

Sloane to delay surgery until the end of the season

Latest Neale info :-

A Thursday morning report suggested Lachie Neale had suffered a significant injury. But the Lions have a different story. Here’s the latest on the Brisbane star.

Brownlow Medallist Lachie Neale remains in doubt for Saturday’s clash with Adelaide, however the club has denied reports he has suffered a calf strain.

The 28-year-old has been treated for a niggling calf concern this week and sat out Brisbane’s training session on Thursday morning as a precaution.

The club confirmed Neale is in doubt to play Saturday’s match as he continues to manage the calf complaint but denied the injury was anything long-term.

Would love to see Neale get named this evening to really mess with our heads.

I wonder what "long term" means to the club. I understand it means he wont miss 5+ weeks but would 3 weeks off be long term?

Dunkley possibly back in 2-3
