Where's Chuck at,  jarred knee?   What's that mean,  bruising to the internal cushioning/ligaments?

I thought he looked more "on" prior to this happening.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Are we really that low when we are talking up making a grand final?

In answer to your question....ummm...yes!

Not sure if you've noticed the past 2 decades or not, but that is a clear highlight with daylight 2nd.

Worst drought in history currently.

But back to your initial point. Carlton post 90s vs hawks recent dynasty is chalk and cheese and not comparable. Period.

Not sure i'm buying the 'jarred knee' talk. Pretty sure he stretched his medial as the knee came out sideways based on the vision.

With a bit of luck its a 'small one' and he'll be back in a few weeks, no surgery required.

The only positive is that he was moving well enough to strap it and test it...


Although last time that happened it was Sam Rowe with an ACL injury...

Just talked about it on gameday and the doc said (female doc, not sure her name) said she isn't sure what it is, but it could be a slight medial or meniscus.

Basically the same scenario i suggested above....but really unsure.

Just came on the Sunday Footy Show and although he sounded pretty positive (i.e. it felt pretty good) he did say he had to wait for the scan results. Seemed pretty confident it wasn't anything serious but who knows.

It looked like Charlie got a back-heel in the patella tendon during the contest.

Sounds and looks pissed. Didn't get a smile until near the end. Actually talking tactics as well.

Progress.

Posters seem focussed on the wrong problems, Phillips' direct opponent has been BoG two weeks in a row!

Regardless of who you follow, these crippling knee injuries are a scourge on the game and the casualty count thus far is already a concern.

They have a devastating impact and we've had our fair share

Philips was one out vs two very good physical ruckman, they beat up Gawn the previous week and its not like our brains trust didnt
know what to expect.....Philips battled on ok IMO he just needed help. As soon as Harry went on the ball he just got pushed out of the way,
no criticism of Harry as he is coming on nicely as a forward but he isnt a natural ruckman.

Nankervis and Ryder/Lycett are not exactly slouches, and in the latter case it was 2v1. Phillips has been injured and in and out of the side for ages. Why single him out ?

Under the new rules you cannot concede the center bounce ruck duels, it's like continually playing uphill football.

Running Phillips with McKay is a losing strategy, and highlighted even more when Charlie left the field meaning we lost our F50 structure by rucking McKay and we lost the ruck as well.

Cripps is running himself into the ground trying to make up for the deficiency, and he makes a difference, but he'll be busted and buggered by the time he's 27 instead of being the icing on the cake for the next decade!

We are already B-Grade inside the F50, we cannot afford to be C-Grade.

Secondly, very ordinary match by BB. When sMurph went down we lost our midfield structures and rotations, Setterfield, Fisher, Dow and Walsh all went missing with upgraded opponents. All the while he left Ed Curnow, one of the league's premier taggers, languishing in F50 not doing very much at all!

Yep Lobbe would've been very handy.....

Further, why not ED C. to curb a Rockliff or Boak? Baffing...anyway will watch replay tonight (was a bit distracted last night)
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Why haven’t more mentions Garlett. He was awfull 

The bloke won’t grab the ball with 2 hands if there is likely contact coming.  He did it last week and did it at least 3 times yesterday and cost us every time.

He tries to tap the ball into the clear rather then grabbing it to avoid being bumped or hit hard. Looks so bloody weak for a player at the highest level to refuse to accept any contact.

A lot on here bag (in some cases rightly so) Murphy for being soft but Garlett is in another level of softness IMO.

Must be replaced for next weeks. Swans play a tough contested game he will a bigger liability then he was yesterday against them.
