2009 Injury Toll

[Jeffers1984]

yeah he didn't look too happy on Saturday walking up and down the boundary that's for sure.

Now we're really screwed for KPP depth.

FFS all our bad injury luck really is coming at once.

I did that to my ankle last year ... extremely painful and his foot will be quite weak for a while but it does heal fully and shouldn't be an ongoing problem.

Thanks Alison - that's a sort of good news. And although he will miss the experience of the twos, I don't think we would have seen him in the firsts this season anyway, at least not as a KPP. Let him concentrate on recovery, thorough recovery.

The official list has no real news. Although the fact that Playfair is still 'indefinite' says for my money that he will make only a token impact in 2009, if any.

Unfortunately, with the senior list being 4-7 players down in 2010 from what it was come 1 January 2009 regardless of any choices made by the club (adding to the existing Fosdike and Kennelly, Leo Barry and Jared Crouch as IMO definites), the chance of Playfair being shown the door ain't high.

Injury update:
Crouch to play one or two more games in seconds.
Leo to return to twos possibly this week, most likely the week after.
Bird out against Geelong, back for the West Coast game in round 8.
Luke Ablett a shoulder injury - test

I get peeved off with The Sunday Footy show as The Doc (Larkins) goes through all the injuries at each club but rarely mentions the Swans unless it's a very big injury to a very big name.It's very disappointing as it seemes they couldn't give a fat rats clacker about us!

Tim Schmidt

I noticed that Tim Schmidt has gone from 1 week status last week to indefinite this week. I wonder what happened. I was thinking that he might get a run in the Ressies this week. Indefinite sounds so far away.

[Lucky Knickers]

I got an email from a friend saying Playfair and Jewis Johnson have been placed on the long term list.
Anyone else heard this?

Yeah - estimated return is next pre-season. Seems a hell of a long time for a knee which isn't an ACL injury.

[Number 43]

Schmidt was starting to look promising last few games he played......will they persist with him?

I'm a big fan but injuries might force the club's hand.
