      That's a 3 to 6 month injury so terrible news. Let's hope that the rumour is false.

        I did a quick search and it turned up on Bigfooty. No confirmation at this stage.

          Yes, I found that and it wasn't very convincing. Just somebody on Sunday, saying that he'd heard a rumour and wondering if it was true. Nobody else seemed to know anything about it. If it was true, somebody else should have mentioned it by now? And I think the team has been on a training break, so that would also lessen the chance of an achilles tear.

          However, I did learn that Sam calls himself, Crayfish, on social media, and that he likes to retweet stuff by Brandon Jack.

            Sams most photos on Instagram were at Christmas. No sign of trouble with his Achilles those so hopefully these rumours are false

              Where would we be without rumour? Don't answer that ...

                I do prefer our leadership group being reduced to 5 as I can see it being more effective based on the old motto "too many chiefs and not enough indians".

                I'm a traditionalist at heart and do prefer the single Captain / Vice Captain setup, however I do admit the the co captaincy model the club has adopted for a number of years now does appear to have served us well. I was rather taken aback by Kane Cornes savage criticism of Port Adelaide when they appointed co captains for the first time last season. Noticed they've now returned to the single captain model and wonder how much of that was outside influence like Kane?

                  If they take any notice of Kane Cornes they're in serious trouble.

                      So Buddy has had a knee arthroscope and is out for 10 weeks. Is a "chance" to make round 1. ??

                          That’s less than ideal

                            Don't like the look of this list at all.

                            Franklin will join Tom Papley, Callum Sinclair, Sam Naismith, Harry Cunningham, Sam Gray, Colin O’Riordan and Jack Maibaum on the injury list.

                              What the?!?!

                              Where did all these injuries suddenly apparate from? Please can someone post a link to the source?

                              Naismith, Sinclair and Maibaum we already knew were on the comeback trail. Naismith indicated at the open training session that he expected to be back in full training after the break. Sinclair was already doing the match simulations.. Buddy's knee is an unwelcome surprise, although could be worse if the op really does sort it out. The coaches must be disappointed and him most of all. Gray, Harry C and Papley is also new and frustrating.

                                I don't think Gray, Papley and Cunningham are new. They were each reported to be at varying stages of rehab leading up to Christmas.
