Ben Venn's Injury Table

Lia out for atleast 6 weeks.

Pasty 50-50

Not sure bout Ifill? I would bench him

Why can't Pavlovic play with a cast on? Like big Mal Meninga did..



He's not REALLY meant to be using his arms anyway... t is FOOTball after all...

I played with a cast at one point years ago.

Would we really want him playing anyway though?

Give he broke both bones in this arm, and his arm was pretty much tangling, I doubt he is any much state to be playing.  Especially if he has to wear a spft cast.

I saw Paston going for a run through Berhampore today, looked to be in good shape

And now Downey...

WTF, something ain't right here

Any update on Iffill yet, Looked very dejected limping off at half time?

Theory: Terry has secretly employed an African witch doctor to put a curse on the club. We need a live chicken and a whiny Melbournian Jew. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_RPfOiKINE

I need a go on Mr Roberts' table after yesterdays match + drive home.

Back is killing me!!!

No housework this week for you!

Am I the only one who thinks that there might be something wrong with the Physio staff at this point?

Lia, Paston, Ifill, Pantellis.  All players known for a history of being crocked.  Hardly the Physio's fault.

yeah th physio can only manage an injury when they occur, not really prevent them, especially Paston's ribs, Ifills groin and Pav's arm! Lia's knee is just bung from the start too

I'm still a chance at starting in the FZ against the Tards in two weeks so I should get priority treatment!

Yesterday was a Happy Ending!

WOOT WOOT!

Do masseuses offer their clients "something for the weekend" like barbers?

I can top that, conspiracy-theory-wise. Ricki and the lads have deliberately engineered the injury crisis to get the Justified Ancients of Welnix to shell out on more than the minimum 20 players.

Cant stand that name that you are pushing
The Seven is waaaay better

but they are the J.A.Ws of life for the nix!!!!

The Munificent Seven.

But I digress.

Just an update.

I have recovered well enough from sunday's injury scare and should be back into the housework tomorrow morning!

Needs an update... Piney?

Early days yet and or squad is resembling junior football (9 a side teams) with injuries and suspensions. I have a feeling that the lads are pretty fit and keep running for the full 90 based on the games so far.

I'm assuming this is down to Lee Taylor rather than my rose-tinted myopia and if so I think this will be a very important factor in how well we go over the season.

Groin injury aside Ifill is certainly leaner and a bit zippier (if only for 13 or so minutes). Greenie - always an energiser bunny but has got a bit of height in his jumps now. So I do think that they are fitter than ever.


Phwoar, phwoar! Down boy!

Any updates on this front?

Apparently Ifill only running laps at training yesterday, so either not fit or been very naughty!

DomPost says "very unlikely" to have Iffy for Friday, and gives the impression that we're playing better safe than sorry with him after screwing him up worse by playing him against the Jest.

Just read that, they also hint at possibly leaving him out of Roar game the following week

Wots the likely return for Pav?....

"The Cake Tin is no longer a fortress � this was their second loss in as many games there � and the injury list gets worse.

Herbert confirmed after the latest loss that speedy fullback Jimmy Downey may need a knee operation."

Did I read somewhere that Wayne Roberts was in hospital as well?

Cheaper than paying gas bils if he's in the same place as most of the squad.

ok so where are we at. I'll try to recap briefly but hopefully we'll be able to update this as the week progresses.. cause we certainly need to!

If Daniel Sanchez and Siggy are out for the Adelaide game we are in shiite deeper than we ever have been before. Hopefully its just cramp and they pull up OK this week. We could potentially go into this game with nobody on the bench except Paston.

Sanchez clearly not cramp.
