    Meanwhile, forward Michael O?Loughlin has been restricted to stationary skills after suffering knee tendonitis
    Definitely not good news
    - Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they've been given, than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact, it's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration, it's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing!

      Unfortunately once it starts you are stuck with it forever. It will be important for the club to manage his knee and look after it for the remainder of his career.
      Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

        I notice Doyle is injured yet again. I wish they would get rid of him. I find it incredibly frustrating and think "here we go again". He will never be right. How long can they keep perservering!

          On the upside at least this injury should demolish all ideas of playing him up the ground.

            They'll keep persevering because he's got loads of talent. From the report it's difficult to assess whether he's re-injured the knee again or whether he's being nursed back from the old injury. I'd guess it's not as bad as it seems and I look forward to seeing 'big' things from Doyley sometime this year.

              I guess that Doyle should not have played at the end of last season because he looked very proppy. The finals campaign forced a too early come back and he is still probably suffering the consequences . IMO he is worth persisting with as there are not many blokes around with his size , skill level and age .

                I'm not reading it after seeing the comments.

                Sounds depressing.

                I'm gonna block my ears and sing "lalalalalalalala, not listening, lalalalala" until the start of the season

                  Look you horrible small person, you are not allowed to call a ruckman "Doyley"!

                  Ruckmen are path clearing, pack crashing, big scary beasties!
                  Doyley's a little lace things that grandma's crochet.

                  Therefore ruckmen are given big scarey nicknames that reflect their inner nature . . . such as "Bruiser" "Cruiser" or "Boof" or "Lurch" or "The Goodes train"

                  So stop it or the Ruckmens Association'll come around rip your arms off and hit you with the wet ends!

                    Oh did I use 'Doyley' by itself, I really meant dashing, daring, dog-kicking, downanddirty, dustsucking Doyley. No offence Stephen. Take it out on the Ruckman!
