Got to feel really sorry for Clement after this sort of injury. As Eddie mentioned at Family Day "these players really put their bodies on the line when they're out of the ground".

Collingwood defender James Clement could miss the first six matches of the season as a result of the eye injury received in last Friday night's practice match against Melbourne.

So what were they going about on the news? In that article it says he may miss the first six matches of the year, but on the news they said it wasn't as bad as first thought and he won't miss much. Which is it?

This could really hurt.

We need his composure, and skill factor, down there.

With no Clemont or Presti in round 1 against the tall timber of the Tigers, there will be a huge relliance on Wakes, Clokey 1 and Tex. At least Presti will be back soon.

How long is Presti going to miss? I was under the impression that he will be ready for round 1.

According to the injury list 14/03/04 at the Club site,Presti is available and will play in the Williamstown practice match this weekend.

Yeah, that is what I thought, but when J26 said that, I was thrown a bit.

Sorry about that, I thought that Presti was to miss round 1. Good news to have him back.

At the family day Malthouse told the crowd Jimmy would have to lay still for 3 weeks. I was not there but was told this from a good source. He is lucky, but I would dare to say Jimmy may miss a few games yet.
