I'm waiting for the injury report that it's season done for Sammy.  Seems to be our luck with hamstrings.

Doesn't sound too good

"slight hammy  :lol :lol" so let me get this right, the imbecile serpell felt in his professional opinion that lalor play after a 5 day break. He along with the other idiots were that worried, they parked Sammy in the uselsss forward position, where he still pinged a hammy.

boy we know how to pick em.

4-6 weeks.  I think his manta is. 21 days and then double it so I don't get blamed if it goes again.

Are you Mitch Cleary? That's how he phrased it when the club has clearly said 4 to 6. It has also been said he's likely only going to miss 3 games

As I posted in the Injury update thread I know I'm in the minority but struth the reactions ans comments in this thread are over the tip.

Talk about damn if you, damn of you don't,

We are talking about the Cubs who are the future of our Club.

And after last year witnessing players getting rushed back and then re-injuring it would seem that's what some want so they can pot anyone and everyone at the Club

Lalor has hurt (strained) the hammy that he severely injured last season. The kid's 18 and his body is getting used to the rigorous of AFL footy. But let's not make sure we get him 100% right, let's just go 21 days and see how we go  ::)

In the quote above you say he’s likely to miss 3, but then sarcastically say that let’s get him out there after 21 days, which is it?


Personally I prefer the conservative path, I like what they’re doing with smillie. I think the major concern is that he’s injured in the first place. My 2 cents

You've misunderstood my post probably due to my sarcasm. I think they should be conservative. Have and will continue to back and applaud them for going down that path.

My sarcasm was a dig at those complaing about how he's going to be managed. Those who seem to want to not get him 100% right and just do the stock standard 21 days so they can pot the Club and in particular Serpell

if i recall you defended the previous clown also until he could no longer be defended.

Im not saying get rid of him, despite his poor start in the job. What i am asking of the club, and in particular him why was he managed in the forward line?

If they were that worried why play him at all off a 5 day break?

They have managed him poorly this time, so of course they want to be conservative so not to stuff him up again.

Has anyone at the club said he was being managed by playing at FF?

The way I saw it was that without Lynch we needed a focal point up fwd and Lalor is sadly our best option.

Club hasn't said it, so not sure where it came from. The media?

But you are 100% correct, no Lynch we had few options, he was the best option

I was talking about this he should have rested on a 5 day break narrative. That certainly didn't come from the Club

And on what was said today by Yze, he said he will miss 3 games over 4 weeks because we have a bye in there

It takes as long as it takes. Not as if we are playing for sheep stations atm.

It would be great to see at the back end of the season Lalor, Smillie, Hotton McAuliffe in the one team with Gray Brown, Banks  Trainor Clarke Cambbell a few of the tall forwards Algar and any other kid that warrants a game.

Throw Taranto Prestia Hopper Lynch Balta Broad Vlastuin lefau all in the one team.
