Opinion Injury/Suspension Updates

[Zimmer]

Wasn't planning on going near Lids all year, unfortunately.

What's that do to Dusty, though? Does he get more pressure, best defender/tag type thing happening? I've actually been thinking of going in without Dusty, so it throws up another angle.

Dropping like flies!

Pendles to play 100% in the mids

Here is the AFL's injury list.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-03-17/the-injury-list-preseason

Some relevant players listed to miss early games:

Sandilands - suspended, return round 2
McVeigh - knee
Roughead - 3 months
O'Meara - Indefinite
Zorko - suspended, return round 2

Cockatoo - suspended, return round 3
Freeman - hamstring
Mathieson - 6 weeks

Also think Courtney Dempsey coming back round 4 is relevant to Matt Dea.

Ablett regarding his foot/toe injury... "It was a little frustrating because I wanted to play a couple of NAB cup games leading in, but it is what it is..."

 

[The Phoenix]

Zorko and Sandilands are awesome 1st round loophole options but I think I'll just go Zorko at this stage.

 

[Darkie]

Not sure whether anyone had interest in Shane Edwards, but from memory he is he main beneficiary ofmLids going down, based on Rowsus' work. A relatively short injury to Lids is probably not enough to pick Edwards unless he was only missing out narrowly pre-injury, though.

 

[PC]

Edwards is injured as well though?

If Lids is out that is a massive issue for the Tigers - he is critical to them winning (as seen last year...).

 

[Feerits Elf]

So is Lids definitely injured then? I thought that was bogus

 

[sethlad]

Lids had scans but nothing announced officially,nothing more than a rumour at this stage.
Edwards very likely for Rd 1

Why am I not surprised

Why am I not surprised

Timely reminder why soft tissue injury risks are always there. Lids & Bennell both had soft tissue injuries last year and have injured them right before the season!

Bennell out might good for Weller/Blakely (do we go there though).

Probably a bit like foot injuries also.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Apparently Ross wasn't going to pick him round 1 anyway.

I have read this too. Apparently had something to do with the hardness of etihad being a risk for his calves.

Deledio OUT

“Brett has experienced some tightness in his quadriceps and was restricted to running laps yesterday,” Richardson said.
“He is unlikely to train for the full session tomorrow, meaning he will not be risked on Thursday night.”

Not surprised at all... He is a lock to miss at least 3-4 games every year and definitely not worth going anywhere near as a result.
