    Cressa and Micky

    Just heard something on Ch10, that Micky and Cressa, will both miss this week's game. I hope I'm wrong, but that's what it sounded like.

    Anyone know anymore?

    They're both out. Apparently Cressa hurt his groin last Wednesday and played with the aid of multiple injections on Saturday. They both had scans today and will not play on Sunday.

    Oh no.

      Both will definately miss this weekends game. Cressa with a groin strain and micky with the hammy. Can it get any worse in terms of our injuries?

          If one of the other posters is correct then Seymour may also be out with a groin strain.

            Shame that neither Bevan nor McGlone can play if Cressa misses - both seem to have been consistently in the best in the reserves.

            If Seymour is out, must be a chance of James returning unless he is, indeed, injured. And maybe Noggin will finally get the chance he's been waiting a couple of months for.

              Just heard that Cressa needs his groin massaged - jumps on the first plane to Sydney

                Replacements:

                I'd go for Powell and Nicks (if he's not injured), simply because Nicks has more experience than any of the other young guys, and Powell becuase he has played some games this year and seems hard at the ball with good marking power across the half-back line.

                If Seymour is also injured, James should replace him.

                I think the 5 man forward structure could work (Hall, Nicks, Schneider, O'Keefe and Goodes/Doyle [share rucking duties with LRT who could also be used in the half-back line]). There is certainly the talent there, and as long as enough of them are firing, I don't think should be a huge problem. Davis could cover midfield, and move forward throughout the game.

                Then again, I could (and probably am) be very wrong...

                  Well, we have no one in the side who can quite replace micky... I'd say slot in Nicks and either one of Powell, James or Ablett. No sense throwing in all the kids, we need someone with the experience in finals.

                  Fact is, if the midfield does a good job, the defence looks airtight and the forwards look unstoppable. It all starts at the bounce. I reckon we looked a better team when Doyle was taking the taps on the weekend - hopefully he's able to play more than he cycles this week!

                  177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

                    If Cressa had to have multiple pain killers to get on the ground on Sat. then you have to say it was a decent groin injury, and hence it may just tip his mind into giving it away, particularly if he needs an operation.

                        McVeigh is a long term proposition who will get his opportunity next year . At the moment he is very slight and it is best to wait until he fills out a bit.

                            May be time to bringon the Klingon.
