News Injuries & Suspensions

[GrainFedBeef]

Florent and Rowbottom are very dangerous "fool's gold" creators for the likes of Stephens and a few other Swans. They're in our best 22 and given Horse's irrational love of them both I'd argue quite firmly (I'm not sure I have either of them as genuine best 22 guys right now after their last couple of seasons) so if they're not there and others are filling the spots they'll get pulled straight back in based on past selections.

Do interpret this as suggesting you dont think Dylan Stephens is best 22 with the recent departures?

It would be good to have a list of all the players who have caught covid as they may be less likely to catch it again and miss games?

Happy to be corrected but isn't the point of the vaccine to mimic the immune response you would have from catching COVID? So therefore no difference between vaccinated and being infected?

I thought it was more difficult to catch it twice compared to being vaxed but I don't know for sure.
I haven't heard of anyone catching it twice but maybe you can if it's a different variant.

I think there was something in the news today about Prince Charles getting it for the second time. Only read the headline, not the article.

$420M ageing premium whose best was probably overshadowed by others in the side. I think he'd be a pass from me anyway.

Oh gosh!! The nerve of that naughty virus being able to infiltrate the Royal lineage twice. To the gallows with Corona and be off with its head😀

Medical studies have indicated that vaccination provides you with more protection that catching COVID.

Can't post, as there's restrictions on copy and paste.

Hurt his hip earlier this week, now back running since yesterday. Should be on track round 1, injury not considered serious.

Could open up a spot for Charlie Dean?

Definitely, I have already move Dean into D6

Don't think Roughie gets his spot back either.

Is Will Kelly likely to play forward or back? (Or Vfl)

I am hearing VFL. Cameron and Kruger as the twin Pillars up Forward.

 

[scarfaceclaw]

I forgot about Kreuger! Not sure why Geelong tried to play him in defence.

 

[weltschmerz]

Absolutly shattered for King.

In the Vfl? Otherwise isn't Mihocek a 3rd tower? 😁

Jamie Cripps has left
@WestCoastEagles
match sim with what appears to be a serious shoulder injury. Missed tackle, fell to ground, in obvious pain, using jumper as sling. As usual, has been a standout in pre-season with work ethic and running.

Gotta say, getting the push notification from the AFL app for this with "CRIPPS HURT" as the lead induced some panic!

Probably a non-Blues supporter in charge

I remember seeing SWAN OUT back in the day as an AFL headline that caused some panic, it was of course a Sydney Swans player missing rather than Dane Swan.
