Ball...........How bad was his injury?

[gloveski]

Last thing we need is to lose one of our Ruckman, was working great in tandem with Doyle.
Looks like it could be a quad............hope he was only taken off as a precaution but it didn't look good.

Looked precautionary to me. He didn't look very distressed, and we all know how much Bally wants to play Finals one more time

Ball will be fine, what would he love more than to knock the side out of the finals that traded him a few years ago.

THE WEST COAST WANKERS

P.S I CAN SAY THAT BECAUSE I PUT UP WITH **** EVERYDAY IN THE PAPER ON TV AND RADIO

Roosy on Channel 10 news said it was cramp or a little bit of tightening. Off as a precaution.

[gloveski]

thats great news but all the boys in cotton wool this week Roosy

Spoke to Ball, he was in good spirits and didn't seem injured. Roos said he took a few off (Esp. MOL) to rest them. We didn't need a repeat of last yrs Rnd 22 game. And Doyle has just boomed in the last month from a Struggling Ruckman. He was running around today like a gazzelle, making leads, but he didn't always receive the ball. A good game from him.

Channel 10 listed his injury as a corked thigh and speculated that he should be right for next week.

Herald Sun lists Sydneys Injuries as:

Jason Ball (Sydney) corked thigh, chance to play

[ScottH]

Eagles Injuries

Daniel Chick (West Coast)
Thigh
He had some swelling and bleeding into the same thigh that he suffered the bad cork in early this year when he needed surgery to release the pressure.
He was quite restricted when off the ground and, because of it being the second one and the bleeding troubles, I would think he's in doubt.

Daniel Kerr (West Coast)
Groin
It will depend how extensive it is.
He would need to train freely in the second half of the week to be considered for selection.

Beau Waters (West Coast) quad strain, in doubt.

[Doctor]

I'm not sure if I want to know how extensive Daniel Kerr's groin is!

[Mike_B]

According to today's terror, Ball will definitely play on Sat night.

had a bit of a strained quad but moved all right at training according to news bulletin
