AFL Rd 1 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Richmond

[LoveNavy]

Has small Durdin had a ps game?

Motlop is training so he must be a possibility for the Tigers.

Has small Durdin had a ps game?

I don't believe he has, and he's not certain to get up for round 1.

The coverage of injuries in the AFL has really dropped to a trickle. There used to be a site “AFLinjuryupdate” which used to cover a number of sports but it covered the AFL on a single page with each team’s injuries (and even suspensions) as well as the expected date of return. That was updated each week. I don’t think it exists now.

Here we are just 4 days away from our opening game and the last injury update on the CFC was on 17 Jan. No doubt there are little snippets of injury news revealed in various videos but there’s no central resource provided. I’m sure that all AFL clubs are happy to shroud their injuries in as much secrecy as possible but it sure flies in the face of the AFL’s desire to dominate sports media coverage.

If there is a running list of injuries somewhere, please let me know.

Ch 7 reports Prestia trained fully albeit with strapping on his shoulder but Short trained away from the main group. They’ll have a final training on Tuesday.

Remember the good bad old days when Andy McKay would take us through the injuries each week?

The link you posted is the most up to date injury list.  Hopefully, our club website will provide regular updates during the season ... but I'm not holding my breath.  The website seems to focus on clickbait without provide much information.  It's not an AFL thing as other club websites have significantly more information such as VFL, WVFL and even wheelchair team lists as well as up to date injury lists.  It's probably worth an email to Brian Cook.

This is a punters lament, those of us who don't bet on footy or play pretend coach should be happy with the subterfuge, less intelligence for opponents increases our chance of winning.

I remember seeing a Chopper Reid impersonator years ago doing a weather skit where he says: "Alice Spings, I'll give you the weather for the next 1000 years, its gonna be effin hot". Very funny but I reckon he could also do our injury report for the last 5 and next 5 years.
Marchbank - broken everything - Estimate return never
Cunningham - See Marchbank - Estimated return 2039
Martin - CBFitis - When he can BF'd
Williams - Fatwalletitis - Just prior to the next paycheque
McGovern - Jumpus Tohigheth Landus Awkwardess - Indefinate

Very creative, GTC old son. Got a good laugh here!

What a load of garbage LP ?

Having as many players as possible available for selection increases our chances of winning.  Your ‘subterfuge’ is simply poor communication by our club and has zero impact on the outcome of games.
