I guess we'll have to wait until training this week to see where Foley is at  :-\.

Foley will be a big loss at the stoppages if he doesn't come up but if we're going to go anywhere this year we need to be able to cover an injury especially if it's only for a short period of time. Adelaide still made the finals last year without Burton and Porplezia most weeks. Teams with depth make finals; team without depth don't. If Foley doesn't come up I would say we would go with a like replacement (inside mid/clearance winner) such as Thomson rather than Collo even though he kicked 5 goals yesterday.

You would expect this injury to be in the papers or at least on the AFL web site wouldnt you, yet we have seen nothing.

Once they swelling goes down, they'd have a better idea I reckon

Who said it was bad  ???.... a little bit of swelling would be normal after you roll your ankle

reports are he rolled his ankle and it's been reported he was on crutches after the game... crutches can mean they are being overly cautious ... which is actually what we'd want them to be

Ankles are, in comparison to knees and other soft tissue injuries, relatively quick to heal. The swelling always looks shocking but the ligaments are quick to repair. I remember tearing mine a while back and was playing in 2 weeks, albiet under some discomfort. You think the medical staff would be a little better down there at Tigerland than it was then for my ankle in the bush leagues!

still 10 days away, at least my fears of  ruptured ligaments have subsided, a compression bandage would indicate a strain of some sort...Here's hoping he can come up...shoudl be right with the time available :pray

Here is some of the comments from another site:

 went to training today and Foley was still on crutches  When i spoke to him he said "all going well he will be ok for round 1." The ankle wasn't heavily bandaged, it just had a compression slip on it.  BUT you never can tell with ankles.

Training was good. Players that i didn't see out on the park were. Foley, Vickery, Connors and Cotchin worked away from the group.. Geez Cotchin has unbelievably sharp hands.. The whole team was upbeat with plenty of laughing going on. It was interesting to notice Shulz and Jack worked together a lot. Jake King looked like he'd been in a rumble, Patto said his ankle was pretty good. It wasn't a flat out session and all the players that played for coburg left early.

Petts was running around really well.

Of the cubs Nahas was ok. Browne has really good ball skills for a big fella. Alroy looks extremely shy but good skills, Post shows a stack of talent. Collins looked ok but needs some meat on him. Hislop i don't think will play round 1. Thompson looked good, a ready made player.

No chance for Round 1 going by what Big Kel told me when I left training.
