[Quincy]

Moore, Murphy and Beggy missed training today. Nathan hasn't trained for a week and Moore was said by club to be ill but some sources quoted tight hammy.

Not sure what confidence Murph needs to build. Concussions come from unpredictable events. Not sure how you train to avoid concussion.
I reckon he's cooked.

Kreuger could be available for selection this week. Good news.
Give him a few games in the VFL. If he stays fit, he could be useful

[piffdog]

Well we know what a “tight hammy”means these days don’t we…

Nah, disagree. Write Murph off at your peril! He will make a well managed comeback to the team later this season. The club has put in many resources and support to help him recover and ensure his return to playing.

^rotten luck as I was hoping he'd be pushing for selection by mid-year. All going well it shouldn't be any more than 5 weeks with splint and rest. It's also called a boxers break as it often results from punching. I did one years ago, more of a nuisance.than anything.
At least will be able to keep his aerobic fitness during recovery.

[The Black and White Lion]

Ok that seems to be a weakness in our depth now. that small / medium half back role.

IQ, Maynard, Noble, Daicos, Crisp, WHE, Howe all in the 23 at the moment. Unsure if the likes of Bytel or Harrison could go to HB. Markov looked just as out of touch in the VFL as he did in the AFL last week as the only other option.

Why do our finger injuries:
* McStay: missed 8 weeks in 2023
* Demattia: 10 weeks this year
* Now Ryan 5-7 weeks

Steven May gets virtually murdered insofar as two broken ribs and vertebrae issues and misses a week!!!

[lazzadesilva]

Jarrod Wade did not mention Ryan at all in his weekly injury update. Wondering why? The better news is that Krueger is back and ready to play seconds and that McStay and Murphy are both very close to coming back.

[LaurieHolden]

^it happened post the release.

[lazzadesilva]

^it happened post the release.

That makes sense, thanks.

[The Black and White Lion]

surely the fake midweek hamstring unsighted by any is no longer an excuse for an illicit drugs strike. Can't fathom that you would taint all other players with a genuine injury by lying.

I do not trust the AFL

[The Black and White Lion]

Expecting Pendles and Mitchell to be added to the injury list this week. Pendles for Ribs and Mitchell for hip although he played out the match fortunately for us.

The current expectation is that they will both be fit for the game after the bye.
