Magic gone for the season?

[Mike_B]

Looks like he did a bad hammy injury late in the game.

ARGH!!!!!! We really need him up forward because of the balance he gives our attack. Only one way to describe it - a tragedy!

[Glenn]

Didn't look to good.. hopefully he can play some part in the finals if not lets hope they can lift across the field to cover for the absence of Mick

[gloveski]

My heart sunk when I seen it he was on fire aswell what a big loss First a Ruckmen the a key defender and lat but not least a key forward once again we limp into september

[gossipcom]

It didn't look good.

I wanted to throttle the commentator when he said we had lost a ruckman, a defender and now a forward, could it get any worse.

When he said that I was like don't jinx them please

[Glenn]

If worse comes to worse and Mick does miss the finals campaign. It will be a big loss, but one player doesn't make a team.
A matter of having faith in the players available to get the job done.

~Onwards to the finals~

The Ch 10 commentators (who IMO are hopeless) had mentioned only a minute before Mickey pulled his hammy that he should be taken off and rested . The tear looked high up near the backside and will take at least 3 weeks to heal. As someone said --- A Tragedy .

[Mike_B]

According to Roosy's interview with Ch 10 - they definitely know its not torn right through, but will have to wait for an MRI to see exactly what the damage is.

Fingers crossed its not too bad and more cramp than anything else.

Anybody hear that crashing sound? The sound of hearts breaking all over Sydney???

Awww Poor Mickey...

Well let's hope it isn't too bad...But I feel so bad for him if he misses the finals..


I hope he is OK..for his sake more than ours..and thankfully it wasn't something more serious

[Glenn]

Yes a glimmer of good news re Mick... as Roos said they have the ability to win games without Mick.. so in a worst case scenario all is not lost

[gloveski]

The big question is who will come in ........hows nicks travelling as he looks the likely replacement or maybe James and will Sunny hold his spot.

And I think Roosy had the Poker face on when questioned about Magic but hopefully he may only miss one fingers crossed

[Glenn]

I would bring Nicks in to replace Mick, purely because he has that finals experience

[Triple B]

Forget Nicks. Look to the future.

Powell to come in. O'Keefe will now get a fulltime gig in the forward line with Seymour as a pinch hitter up forwrd to give them a spell.

[sharpie]

Does Scott Stevens get 1 last chance?

[daniel f]

just heard roosy on abc radio and he was saying it doesnt look as bad as first thought and fingers crossed it was just a very bad cramp

[SWANSBEST]

IMO Roosy is trying to put a positive spin on the injury . The pain on Mickey"s face certainly did not give me the impression that he was suffering from a cramp. Also, his initial reaction to the injury and the words that he muttered gave me the distinct feeling that he pulled a hammy .
