TOPIC:

Looks like our injury list has finally been updated and some bad news. Simpson out for 2-3 weeks with a hammy. That cancels out any advantage we could have had against EP with Schumacher missing a few weeks with concussion.

Ewing 2 weeks away is encouraging but he'll come back slowly through the reserves.

Interesting Cary is out again after kicking 2 in the ressies last week. Gee 12 still to go or Avery. Della and Sing 5 to go (both for groin issue). Very nice for Ewing to be close.

Della, Cary and John - just haven't got a run at it due to injury for for 3 years now. 

Sad to see a long serving player in Browne out for the season - I was wondering what had happened to him. Saying that this is probably retirement for him.

Newick to come in for Simpson?

Can someone talk to the club and get our players on the website in their Perth jumpers - not Subi and South and the like jumpers.

The bye has come at a good time in minimising the number of games Simpson will miss. Despite his detractors, I think Gray has to come in for Simpson. He is the form midfielder in the reserves, and could tag Brayshaw or Crowden. If not Gray, then Hill (if fit) or J Clarke. 

FMD. We can't take a trick. 6 - 8 weeks 

 

1) 4/5 SF
2) 11/5 Clare
3) 18/5 State Game
4) 25/5 EF (Simpson/Clark) Return

---

5) 2/6 WC
6) 8/6 Bye
7) 15/6 PT
8} 22/6 Clare (Sing) Returns
9) 29/6 WP

---

10) 6/7 EF
11) 13/7 Bye
12) 20/7 EP (Avery/Constable) Return

From here 5 more games V (PT, WC, Subi, SF, SD)

Cursed luck. First time in years we recruit three a-graders and lose each of them plus our next best in Avery. Constable definitely season over IMO. Simpson and Clarke hopefully can be back soon after the State game. TFF, I think it may be wish-full thinking that Charlie, syndesmosis, will play again this season. Perhaps the same with Avery. 
But, miracles can happen.
 

Sam Walsh missed the first 5 games of 2022 with a syndymosis injury in preseason in 2022. Played strongly from round 5 to round 19 after returning. Charlie will be fine in 9-11 weeks.

Charlie Constable has been added officially to the injury list. 12 weeks. Farrrrkkk 😔

Must have been a bad one.

I had a look on the WAFL website and you boys do appear to have a lot of injuries if that list is remotely up to date. Do you share a training ground with the Eagles as they seem to have quite a few at any given time as well, so wondering if the training surface has anything to do with it?

BC I think that's a fallacy.
WCE injury list is apparently looking a lot better.
There is opportunity presenting, and I think Germo is the man to manage it.
