Yep 3-4 more of those injuries this year and we will get a rule change probably. Or 1 if its Judd.


Yea I posted this in the match thread:

Apart from the injury to Caff (those sorts of things will happen if the umpires allow players to bump other players in the knee), what more could you want?




This trend is becoming more frequent in games now. It happens in at least every game were a player will throw his body in kamikaze like into an opponents legs in his attempt to get the ball.

The league need to address this!

^ Malthouse mentioned it last year in a press conference. I think it was after a Geelong game, who seem to do it the most.

Sad

What a shame. Doubt we'll see him play for us again.

Hope his recovery goes well.

Sad for the Caff, who will seriously struggle to remain on our list after this year.

However, in my mind Fasolo has his spot covered.

Probably worth trying the LARS treatment so he can get back this year.

Definitely not, roar. Ask Brent Staker, Nick Malceski or David Rodan. It just doesn't work.

Taz will play fwd to cover the loss of Caff. Brown will replace Taz in defence - its great to have some depth !

Fasolo is more a direct replacement for Didak IMO.

Macaffer was a missing link last year IMO, he gave us some much needed strength over the ball and because of his marking ability was a difficult matchup for the opposition.

I'm sure Buckley had high hopes for him this year as did most of us.

I agree with a previous poster that Tom Young could well be a viable replacement for the caff.

I like the boy!
