Adelaide Crows 2018

[valleys07]

Cambell Brown

Yes he mentioned it last night but what i'm saying is Crouchy told the club he needed surgery some time ago and to be told by the club they did not think this was the case, put it this way if he had surgery when he first stated to them he wouldn't have been far away from resuming.

this may be completely wrong but it's what i was told.

Things going from bad to worse on the injury front at AFC.

As a result of that collision with Douglas late in the showdown, McGovern has reported high ankle soreness and is now out for 2 months.

Bloody hell!

[Booney]

Mitch McGovern avoids surgery but will be out for "some time" with an ankle injury sustained in the collision with Richard Douglas at the end of the Showdown loss to Port Adelaide by 5 points after it looked like Adelaide would win.

8 weeks was mentioned on radio

They'll still play finals. If they can get a fit group up and running by then they'll still be a threat.

Apologies if it's already been posted.

But heard a rumour that this preseason camp has actually been downplayed. It was an extreme military style SAS type deal where one player came back with scars over his legs but wasn't allowed to say how he got them

Several senior players complained internally. Details released by E.Betts which has caused a significant riff between the Betts camp and the Walker camp.

Take it for what it's worth which is probably about 5c, but it is interesting.

Maybe i am old school but I have no issues with a military style camp, the kids these days need toughening up! Clubs will not put there players in any unreasonable harm, they cost to much money!
If it was that bad the AFL PA would have heard about it (like Melbourne's camp) and they would have provided commentary around it.

Maybe Melbourne were the smart ones if what morell says was right?
Sounds a bit far fetched to me though.

Walker is camp

[Booney]

Walker and Knight to both miss some games.

Walker ( try this on for size @MW @Brodlach @bennymacca ) to miss an undisclosed time frame to "enter into a conditioning program".

You happy getting spun bullshit?

Knight is hamstring tendinitis. 10?

[bennymacca]

not real happy with both the injuries and the way they are being reported to us

[Brodlach]

We are cooked!

[JK]

We are cooked!

Luckily you have the comfort of sympathetic SAFootyer's to ease the pain

[Corona Man]

We are cooked!

It’s only May, you are just a little toasted. Time to get them right and back to some form come the pointy end. Mind you, I’m not at all upset

[saintal]

Wasn’t it Chapman that came out in the preseason and stressed that supporters can rely on the club’s reporting of matters and not the media’s?

Well all you "customers" need to contact tje provider and ask questions about th product.

Who cares if they say 2 and they miss 4.

Clubs have been doing it for decades, saying this player is fit and playing and then pulling them out just before the game.

Why give clubs any more time than necessary to plan etc.

It seems to be only the media and opposition supporters who really care.

I think the media were about 0-5 this week anyway. (Especially Campbell Brown)

?

He's going back to repeat year 3, he'll be back in a month.

So you're not fussed by them pissing in your pocket and telling you it's raining?

I would be, especially when there's a problem evident ( hamstrings ).

The club came out 2 weeks ago and said they have modified there program to try and rectify the hamstring injuries. Do you come out after 1 hamstring? 4? 5? When is it an evident problem? When the media says it is?

I suppose you would have been angry that Port said Wingard would miss a few weeks with a hamstring then returned after 1 week, that was misleading!
