Injury List - 2015

[bornadog]

Dogs head into Christmas break with near full list in trainingEarly signs suggest the Bulldogs are on track to have close to a full playing list available for round one, with several players making promising starts to their preseason campaigns after post-season surgeries.


Jordan Roughead and Fletcher Roberts both underwent shoulder reconstructions at the conclusion of the season, and have resumed training.


Speaking with the Herald Sun, General Manager of Football Graham Lowe said he was confident they would be able to fulfil the majority of their pre-season obligations.


“Jordan and Fletcher are progressing well from their post-season shoulder surgeries and have resumed training. Both were able to complete good levels of endurance-based work through the early stages of their rehabilitation, which will hold them in good stead for the remainder of the pre-season program.”


Roughead injured his shoulder in the round three win against Richmond and battled bravely through the season, missing just two games, and averaging 11 disposals at 82.5 per cent.


Roberts spent most of the year in the VFL honing his defensive craft, but starred late in the year up forward with a match-winning performance in the final round, kicking a goal from outside 50m after the siren to secure a home final.


2013 draftee Matt Fuller and Clay Smith were the other two Bulldogs to undergo post-season surgery.


“Matt Fuller who also had post-season shoulder surgery is not too far behind and is on schedule to commence full-contact training next week,” Lowe said.


At this stage, Smith will be the only Bulldog not in full training after Christmas, after an ACL injury sidelined him for the second half of the season.


“Clay Smith is tracking well in his recovery from an ACL repair back in July. He has started straight line running, and most importantly for us, he is pulling up well from those sessions.”


The Bulldogs playing group will break on 19 December for the Christmas period, and will resume back training early in January.

Thanks BAD. I'm not used to a preseason report that doesn't say "Sean Higgins is also firing fit and showing signs this preseason of just why he was a top draft pick and so highly rated".

The pyhsio got the boot at the end of the season didn't he? Maybe it was his fault?;)

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Yep - it was ridiculous. Never seen a player go down so often and cringe in pain, yet still keep playing through the injury.

[Remi Moses]

Yep - it was ridiculous. Never seen a player go down so often and cringe in pain, yet still keep playing through the injury.

It was totally silly and wouldn't have done the young mans confidence much good.
We were no chance for finals, yet he basically played the season out.

[F'scary]

Perhaps Roughead may have declared himself fit to play each week, apparently he is viewed as a leadership type at the club - this is probably evidence of why he is. He put the team ahead of his own pain.

[Cyberdoggie]

Our decison to continue to play him still eats at me.. Horrible player management.

I think he's only done about 1 pre-season with us that didn't involve limited work due to his shoulders.
You would think that would limit the guys chances to develop his body somewhat.

Clay Smith on the up as he returns from injury (http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/2015-01-13/clay-on-the-up)

Western Bulldogs midfielder Clay Smith is back on the training track after challenging 18 months of injury setbacks.

After returning to football in April last year after Smith ruptured the ACL in his right knee, he then injured the AC joint in his shoulder in his return to the senior side in round 10 and two months later reinjured his ACL in a VFL match.

Smith, now in his 25th week of rehabilitation since injuring his ACL, has completed four weeks of high end speed training and has now commenced straight line football skills.

Bulldogs Head Physiotherapist Chris Bell says the way he has conducted himself is a credit to the 21-year-old.

“He has been incredibly diligent, focused and enthusiastic towards his rehabilitation.

“Clay continues to absolutely apply himself to every aspect of his rehab, always pushing the boundaries of his training restrictions, and striving for excellence in the gym and on the track.”

Smith recently finished fourth in the Club’s two kilometre time trial and is set to start controlled football training in early February.

“Clay has embraced the physical and mental challenges of being in long term rehab, and continues to attack each day with enthusiasm and ferocity.”

[Go_Dogs]

Really wish Clay all the best for the remainder of his career. You won't find a more determined, ferocious bloke anywhere.

[F'scary]

Good news on Smith but he shouldn't be rushed back, might be best if he just builds slowly in the VFL starting from about mid season at the earliest.

He is a top extractor in the middle and at stoppages, he has shown he can play other positions as well, particularly in the forward line. There certainly is a place for him in our best 22 when he is cherry ripe to go again.

[Remi Moses]

No surprise Clay working his arse off .
Best of luck to him, and would be nice if he caught a break.

[boydogs]

As my Grandmother would say, he deserves a medal :)

[doggies ftw]

People have forgotten how good this kid was tracking. One of the best performed from his draft up to his injuries but just had a shocking run of luck. Might be a big call but I reckon he'd be our second best mid behind Libba right now if he never suffered that first ACL. Make no mistake though he will be back, agree that we shouldn't rush him though.

Cordy to miss start of season (http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/2015-01-23/young-dogs-shoulder-blow)

Western Bulldogs father-son recruit Zaine Cordy will miss the start of the 2015 season after having a shoulder reconstruction.

The 18-year-old defender, who arrived at the Bulldogs via pick No.64 in the 2014 NAB AFL Draft, had experienced discomfort during his first pre-season and the club decided it was better for him to receive immediate treatment to fix the issue.

The rehab period is expected to be at least four months, with the Dogs hopeful he will resume full training in the early part of the season.

"Zaine had some instability in his left shoulder when he was drafted and after a short period rehabilitating the area, the club decided that to avoid further damage to the shoulder, the best approach was to intervene surgically," the Dogs’ general manager of football Graham Lowe told AFL.com.au.

"As with all of our younger players, we make these decisions with a view to the long-term and we look forward to Zaine getting back to full training in the early parts of the season."

Cordy, the younger brother of Ayce - who has played 20 games for the Bulldogs - is a promising defender who is expected to eventually play on talls and smalls.

Fremantle made a bid for him under the father-son bidding system but the Dogs were able to secure him at pick No.64.

The Bulldogs were aware his shoulder would need some treatment when he was drafted and have been working through the options since he joined the club.

Cordy couldn’t attend the club's annual general meeting on Thursday night at Whitten Oval due to the operation as new coach Luke Beveridge unveiled a long list of recruits including Tom Boyd, Toby McLean and Shane Biggs.

The Bulldogs have most of their list training, with Fletcher Roberts still recovering from a shoulder reconstruction and Clay Smith on the road back after a knee reconstruction last season. Big man Tom Campbell remains on a running program.

Beveridge, who was appointed coach in November, told members at the AGM the club would not be looking in the rear view mirror as the group strove to become a force in the game.

[bornadog]

Not another shoulder issue at the club.

[Cyberdoggie]

Not another shoulder issue at the club.

Looks like he's taking after his brother. Perhaps they should just do both his shoulders while they are at it, wouldn't surprise me to see the other one needs doing next year.

[Remi Moses]

Has anyone booked Bulldog tragic for therapy ?
Disappointing news, but they've done the right thing.
Got a whole career to look forward to.

Most of this is his fault. Didn't shut up about Zaine all year. Now we've bought a lemon.

[divvydan]

Could certainly explain why we got him cheaper than expected. If we were aware there were shoulder issues prior to drafting then other clubs did too. Those clubs would've also looked at Ayce and seen a long line of shoulder problems as being a possible outcome and re-ranked Zaine accordingly.

Bulldogs midfielder Tom Liberatore injures knee, likely to miss season (http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/bulldogs-midfielder-tom-liberatore-injures-knee-likely-to-miss-season-20150228-13ro5y.html)http://www.theage.com.au/content/dam/images/1/3/r/o/q/2/image.related.articleLeadNarrow.300x0.13ro5y.png/1425126980473.jpg

One reigning club best and fairest has already had his season ended, and another faces the same grim news.


Both West Coast defender Eric Mackenzie and Western Bulldogs midfielder Tom Liberatore suffered awkward falls which marred the opening weekend of the NAB Challenge.


Liberatore hobbled off the Whitten Oval during the first quarter of Saturday's clash with Richmond, grimacing after injuring his knee during an attempted tackle by Tiger Tyone Vickery.


Dogs coach Luke Beverdige said the club was bracing for a likely knee reconstruction, the result of a suspected torn anterior cruciate ligament.


"He'll need a scan tomorrow, but it doesn't look good at the moment," Beveridge said after the match.


"If there's a remote chance obviously we're hoping for it, but obviously it doesn't look good."

[F'scary]

What's happening with Hrovat? Couple of posts after yesterdays NAB Cup match indicate he got a rib injury but I can't find anything in the media about it.

From what I have been reading he might miss the next NAB Challenge game but will be right for the first AFL game.
Nothing confirmed yet though

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/bulldog-nathan-hrovat-hospitalised-with-cracked-rib-breathing-trouble-20150302-13soiu.html


Young Western Bulldogs midfielder Nathan Hrovat spent Saturday night in hospital with breathing difficulties after breaking a rib in the team's opening NAB Challenge game.

The Bulldogs do not have a NAB Challenge game this week but the small running player will miss the Dogs' next game on March 14. However, he could be available for NAB Challenge round three and then for round one of the season proper.

[LostDoggy]

Hrovat came off the ground and mentioned to the Doctors he couldn't breathe. Just as he was given an Inhaler Libba went down clutching his knee. All the doctors raced to Libba, so Hrovat decided that he would just go back on... He ran 10 metres and looked liked he had just ran 2 marathons. He came off and was wheezing pretty badly. It didn't look great for him at all. Sounds like he should be back for Round 1 though which is great news

It's going to be really sad seeing Libba - Knee - Season in every updated on this thread :(

[bornadog]

Darley and Biggs - Minor complaints from Training

Clay Smith - Back to Full training

Prudden - concussion, so will be tested to see if he can play in Intra Club this week.

I'm worried that with Libba Jnr out, we'll rush Claymore back too soon.

[LostDoggy]

Shane Biggs has sustained bone bruising in his knee which has put his standout preseason on ice for the moment.

[Eastdog]

Any news on Prudden?

Apparently heard that he did quite good in the intra club game today.

[GVGjr]

Bulldogs online are reporting that Shane Biggs tore his hamstring at Ballarat and will miss 5 to 7 weeks. Tough break

[always right]

Been a tough off season in so many ways.

[Go_Dogs]

Must be very disappointing for the young man, after having a good first pre-season at the Club. I was quite optimistic he'd play early in the year and become an important part of our new look game plan.

Hopefully he recovers well and we get to see him in the senior side by mid-season.

[Axe Man]

Hamstring setback for Shane Biggs (http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/2015-03-10/shanes-string-setback)

The Bulldogs playing group has emerged from Saturday's intra club hitout unscathed, leaving Senior Coach Luke Beveridge a near full compliment of players to select from for the weekend's NAB Challenge match in Ballarat against Melbourne.

Speaking with BulldogsTV, GM of Football Graham Lowe said the Club's coaching staff were pleased to get through the weekend's internal fixture without any injury concerns.

“It was great to get the work into both groups of players, in fact all players, they got through it well,” Lowe said.

“It’s really pleasing, (we can) now build towards NAB (Challenge) two against Melbourne.“

Midfielder Josh Prudden was one player to make a successful return in the intra club match after being concussed in the Bulldogs’ opening NAB Challenge match against Richmond.

“He progressed well in terms of his symptoms through the week, and put himself in a positive place (to play in the intra club match),” Lowe said.

“It was good to be able to get him out on the track, get him playing, and he came through the game really well.”

Key defender Fletcher Roberts is another on the verge of returning to full training after a modified program in recent weeks due to groin soreness.

“There’s a chance to bring him back towards full training, and manage his training and game loads, and bring him back towards the season.”

Meanwhile, half-back Shane Biggs looks set to miss remainder of the NAB Challenge, after injuring his hamstring at training last week.

The 23-year-old former Swan didn’t take any part in Saturday’s intra-club match, and will be closely monitored as the Bulldogs prepare for their Easter Saturday home season opener against West Coast at Etihad Stadium.

“(Shane’s) unlikely to take part in the NAB Challenge, but we’ll keep on top of him and build him up in the appropriate way,” Bulldogs GM of Football Graham Lowe told BulldogsTV.

Tom Liberatore successfully underwent reconstructive surgery on his left knee late last week, with Lowe telling BulldogsTV that the reigning Sutton Medallist will commence his rehab program next week at the Club.

[LostDoggy]

I'm worried that with Libba Jnr out, we'll rush Claymore back too soon.

You mean Roger Claysmith?

[Cyberdoggie]

Apparently injured during training last week and has had the operation already.

That's bad luck for him, looks like he had a good run at a pre-season, a week away from a potential nab cup game and then out for a long time. That will no doubt ruin his season.

[F'scary]

You mean Roger Claysmith?

Who is Roger Claysmith?

Claymore: A claymore (/ˈkleɪmɔər/; from Scottish Gaelic claidheamh-mòr, "great sword")[1] is the Scottish variant of the late medieval two-handed longsword. It is characterised as having a cross hilt of forward-sloping quillons with quatrefoil terminations. It was in use from the 15th to 17th centuries. [source: Wikipedia]

He is not far away

Strengthening the quads, particularly the medial/inside component (Vastus Medialis/VMO) has been a mainstay of physio treatment for ACL repair for a long time. I'm not sure which knee he injured, but if it was his left knee he's certainly got the muscle bulk back!

[bornadog]

Injury Update Monday 23rd (http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/2015-03-23/half-back-pair-to-be-monitored)

* Explosive half-backs Easton Wood and Jason Johannisen will be closely monitored during the week by Bulldogs medical staff, after both were substituted out of Saturday night’s win with concussion.

* Fletcher Roberts made a successful return to match play in the Footscray Bulldogs VFL practice match win over Werribee, after being closely monitored for groin soreness in recent weeks.

* Nathan Hrovat also continues to make strides to returning to play, set to return to full training this week after suffering a rib injury in the Bulldogs’ opening NAB Challenge match.

* Shane Biggs’ rehab from a hamstring injury also continues well on schedule, with the running half-back expected to be available in the early rounds of the home and away season.

[GVGjr]

Sounds about right. He'd be yanking fiercely at the chain to get back out there.

He did his right knee. In real life it's still noticeably smaller than his left.

[LostDoggy]

I hope we play it super safe with Clay. No need to rush him in this season.

[bornadog]

Caleb Daniel will miss around a month of footy with a torn meniscus

[bornadog]

Western Bulldogs midfielder Caleb Daniel will miss four to six weeks after injuring his knee at training last week.

Daniel is scheduled to have minor surgery today to repair the meniscus in his left knee and is expected to resume training within a fortnight.

Meanwhile, star midfielder Tom Liberatore has returned to the Club, commencing rehabilitation to his injured knee.
Liberatore came out of a splint earlier today and has begun his strength program, four weeks after having an ACL reconstruction.

Clay Smith’s return to competitive football is nearing, with the tough midfielder joining in full contact training, after nine months on the sidelines, also with a knee injury.
Smith has impressed on the track recently and is expected to line up in his first competitive match in the next fortnight.

[chef]

That sucks, he'd have been a good chance to debut in the opening few weeks

[Bulldog4life]

Bad luck for the young fellow. A fairly common injury unfortunately. My wife and a cousin are both having the same op.

[Before I Die]

That sucks, he'd have been a good chance to debut in the opening few weeks

I think there is still a few in front of him at the moment. I would like to see Caleb rip it up in the VFL before he makes his debut. With the late VFL start he will only miss a couple of weeks.

Bulldog Wood cut down by hamstring injury (http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-04-16/bulldog-wood-cut-down-by-hamstring-injury?utm_medium=RSS)
WESTERN Bulldogs defender Easton Wood has suffered a hamstring injury at training on Thursday, just one day after re-signing with the club until the end of 2018.


The club described his latest setback as a minor hamstring injury that could sideline him for only one week.


Wood signed a one-year extension at the end of last season so both he and the Bulldogs could ensure his body could hold up to the rigours of AFL football.


The 25-year-old battled persistent hamstring injuries early in his career, with a serious hamstring tear restricting him to five games in 2013.


He played a career-high 18 games last year before a broken hand ended his season in round 20.


Wood has undergone a biomechanical assessment of his running and focused on building strength at the top of his hamstrings in an effort to get past the soft-tissue problems.


He had impressed in the first two rounds of the season attacking off half-back under new coach Luke Beveridge, racking up 20 possessions against Richmond in round two.

[KT31]

Hopefully is a minor setback, does anyone know if its the same one each time or both ?

[Cyberdoggie]

Wallis apparently deep bruising to the back, 3-4 weeks.
Morris torn pectoral muscle, without surgery 6 weeks, with maybe 8-10 weeks.

Not a great injury to have for a defender when you have to spoil and use your strength.

[Hotdog60]

Dale Morris has undergone surgery today to repair a pectoral injury sustained in the first quarter against the Hawks on Sunday.

Bulldogs General Manager of Football Graham Lowe said the defender is likely to miss at least the next six weeks as a result.

“Dale suffered a significant injury to his left pectoral so he’s got some damage there.

“After further consultation today with a specialist we’ve determined the best course of action is for him to have surgery so he’ll be unavailable for six to eight weeks.”
http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/2015-04-20/med

[Webby]

I suggest 8+ weeks for Morris. Torn pectoral is a biggie, unfortunately.

2 weeks at most for Wallis. He'll be sore for a week, but will make quick progress in week 2. Might even slip in for a surprise return for Sydney, but I'd be confident 3 weeks is overs.

Injury Update after round 4


The Western Bulldogs have come through their 57-point win over Adelaide with minimal injury concerns after forward Jake Stringer recovered well from hamstring tightness.

Stringer was subbed out of the game as a precaution in the third term after a six-goal haul and Bulldogs General Manager of Football Graham Lowe said the Club held no concerns for his fitness.


“Jake had some hamstring tightness and as a precautionary measure we chose to use the sub with him.


“We have no concerns at this point that he’s not going to be available for us for this weekend against the Swans.”


Apart from Stringer, Lowe said there were no other injury reports after the round four match.


“Obviously a really positive performance and the players have come in well today after last night’s game and other than bumps and bruises we’re looking to have presented well.”


Bulldogs rookie Jordan Kelly will undergo surgery after he injured his finger in Footscray’s win over Casey in the VFL on Sunday, but was the only injury concern from that match.


“A frustrating day for Jordan, he sustained an injury to his finger and after specialist advice we’ve determined that surgery’s the solution and he’s got an injury to a tendon in his finger so he could be 6-8 weeks”


Dale Morris (pectoral) and Mitch Wallis (back) have both progressed according to plan after sustaining injuries in the Club’s round three match.


“Dale’s had surgery his surgery which went to plan and went well and he’s back around the Club… he’s tracking to the timelines as we’d expect,” said Lowe.


“Mitch has certainly freed up quite a bit and our plan is to progress his training over the next couple of weeks with a view to getting him back after that.”

Jong out for a couple of weeks with a fractured hand. :(

A real shame.

[Remi Moses]

That was done in the last quarter I reckon
Disappointing

[soupman]

Same hand that prevented Mike Pykes mark. A worthy sacrifice.

[Hotdog60]

There was a comment earlier than the Pyke Mark.
The commentators had mentioned that it looked like Jong had hurt his hand but still jumped third up to spoil the ball to the boundary at a ruck contest.

[ledge]

Jong for Wallis this week ?

[F'scary]

Jong for Wallis this week ?

Injury list from 4/5/15 states Wallis out for 1 week. Doing the math, I think this means he won't be available for the Saints match.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Are they going to put screws or plates in Jong's hand I wonder? Gerard Whateley, I think it was, said it was his wrist. I broke my fifth metacarpal four months ago and its still bad and stiff but I'm 61. Jong is going to be impossible to replace. What's his name Cryin Gryphon was the closest; he was nearly as good.

I read it was fractured and he had the operation yesterday. Fractured I guess is not as bad as a break.

[LostDoggy]

Bad luck for Jongy.
Hunter to come in for him maybe

[jazzadogs]

I read it was fractured and he had the operation yesterday. Fractured I guess is not as bad as a break.

Fractured and broken are interchangeable words in medicine. There are certainly degrees of fractures though, and with over 27 bones in the hand it's hard to know exactly what his exact injury or management will be.
Obviously the doctors and physios are content that Lin's break is on the minor end of scale, potentially in a bone with minimal movement meaning a pin to hold it in place will be enough. I'd imagine that for Lin to get back within two weeks he will need quite a lot of painkillers, and given bones take around 6 weeks to heal there would be ongoing risk of re injury.

Hope it all goes well, his burst speed and physicality around the contest is hugely important.

Last week we still had Zaine Cordy out for three more weeks, now on another thread he is playing this week in the two's.
There is no rush on the kid so I can't see any reason why he couldn't sit out for another two to be sure,

Agreed. Poor bloke can't take a trick.

Also concerned about your protege. Is there a Cordy curse. What has Zaine had 2 games between injuries.

Who misses out when Dale is fit? Will he come up through Footscray? Gotta feel for any VFL forwards who cop him if that's the case.

Our tall timber is working well down back at the moment, but they've still got further development to go and having Dale out on the field can only help that.

Great to see Morris, Fuller, Kelly back in full training and Bonts and Picken likely for selection as well.

That's a very short list. Crameri will be fine, we've got 4 players on the injury list including 1 rookie and 1 first year player

[bornadog]

Injury News from WB website:


Lin Jong and Jordan Kelly didn’t line up for the Dogs in the VFL after not being named in the side due to minor injury concerns.

“Lin’s had a bit of general soreness just in terms of total playing load and he had tight adductors so just really in a precautionary sense we managed him out of the game so we need to make some good decisions around him and make sure he finishes the season strongly.


“Jordan had a low grade adductor strain so we’re just making show that we get that settled down and looking to welcome them (both) back pretty quick.”


Footscray also rested rookie Roarke Smith but Lowe expected him to be available this weekend.


“Roarke’s a young player and he’s played a lot of game time so just from a general management perspective we want to make sure that we manage him through the season and to the back end of it well so we made a decision for him not to play.”


In positive news, young defender Zaine Cordy is moving through his rehab after fracturing his thumb.


“Zaine’s progressing really well and we’re looking to welcome him back in the next two to three weeks, so he’s doing well, it’ll be good to have him back out on the track.”

No list yet but from the weekend

Honeychurch - out two weeks

Hrovat - at least a week

McLean - Season

Roughie - to be monitored and will travel to Cairns

Morris - no surgery required, and will also be monitored

[F'scary]

Depth is starting to be tested. Biggs, Darley, et al will get more opportunities. Hope they can grab them.

[Hotdog60]

Good news with Moz. Tough on McLean but at least he got a taste and performed very well and should look forward to the preseason and become a regular next year. I think Roughie will be ok and play this week unless training aggravates it further.

[G-Mo77]

Depth is starting to be tested. Biggs, Darley, et al will get more opportunities. Hope they can grab them.

Maybe we could elevate Smith? For the regular VFL watchers has he done enough for a selection? From what I have seen I think he's close. Disposal still a little questionable at times but he's not far off. Pearce is also starting to put together some good games.

I dig what I have seen of Smith, he is obviously going to be promoted at the end of this year. Pearce could yet surprise. There will be opportunities, that is for sure.

McLean - Season

Realistically we won't see him in the seniors again this year but Graham Lowe said 6 to 8 weeks so he may play some VFL finals

From memory if there is danger of a punctured lung the player can't fly for a certain amount if time. I remember someone getting injured in Sydbey once who would have been in strife had he flown down with the rest if the team.

If that's the case (which it most probably is not) Koby could be set for either an extended stay in lovely Cairns or a very long drive home.

Happened to Wood as well

[ledge]

I think Hawkins is very slow so if you put pressure on the ball deliverer he will be in trouble, if Roughy plays he will get the job done , don't forget we have the glove, height is no problem for him.
And Wood will intercept them anyway

[F'scary]

There are 8 games left. Toby McLean is said to be 5-7 games away from recommencing. He could be back for the pointy end of the season. If it were, say, 6 more weeks that would give him two home and away matches to re-establish himself. Could be just right and could be exactly what we are looking for if we make the finals.

[F'scary]

Stevens out for 6-8 weeks with a stress fracture in a foot. 7 matches left before the finals, this could be an unfortunate end to a fine season for him.

Poor Matty Fuller has never had a chance with his injuries over the last two seasons.

[Bulldog Joe]

Our three hardest, toughest mids out of the year. Not the best scenario.

Also the injuries are to players that would be in contention for senior spots.

We are doing remarkably well with our on field efforts.

Is Libba Jnr doing a Libba Snr and back for finals?

[SlimPickens]

Is Libba Jnr doing a Libba Snr and back for finals?

God I hope not! The only thing positive about Libbas injury was the timing, meaning he would have a full 12 months without football and there would be no need to rush him back.

And Smithby

[comrade]

Fingers crossed that Roberts and Rough get through the VFL match unscathed.

Would love Magic McLean to get back for finals. Can see him doing something special on the big stage but he may run out of time.

Oh, well. He can help Footscray go B2B.

No major injuries this week in the senior game.

JJ to face a test and should be available.

Josh Prudden - Hammy

[azabob]

Where does that leave Prudden? Can play at AFL level but seems to always get soft tissue injuries. Do we back him in ala Wood?

Love to see Magic back in time to play a final but we don't want to be mucking about with kids and A/C injuries. We would want to be 100% sure that he's completly healed.

Koby's progressing well. When is the last game in the VFL this season?

[bornadog]

Koby's progressing well. When is the last game in the VFL this season?

There are only two games left

[boydogs]

Calling it now, we won't see Stevens, McLean or Prudden in the seniors again this year. Not long enough left for them to build form and move ahead of the guys currently playing

[ledge]

Stevens was in a moonboot at the VFL game.
Had a chat to Fletcher Roberts in the toilets at qtr time in the AFL game, says he was sore but ok.

[bulldogtragic]

McLean, Stevens & Prudden all seen driving to the club just now for an extra rehab session. :D

Let's hope it's Libba and Clay as the only injuries coming into week of the.... FINALS!!

[Bulldog4life]

I think having JJ come straight in after missing a few weeks is a risk for any player

Doc Larkins' injury update: round 21 (http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-08-24/doc-larkins-injury-update-round-21)


THE WESTERN Bulldogs will be sweating on the availability of experienced defender Dale Morris as they search for the match-ups to contain North Melbourne's in-form tall forward line on Saturday.

Morris was subbed out at three-quarter time of the Dogs' loss to West Coast in Perth on Sunday due to chronic Achilles soreness, and leading medico Dr Peter Larkins believes he is in some doubt to face the Roos.

"He's a veteran player so the Bulldogs looked after him and protected him," Larkins told AFL.com.au.

"I would've thought in a few days time he's going to settle down and he'll train later in the week.

"He's in doubt because it won't disappear but if it settles down well enough he's a good chance – he's not a definite miss."

If Morris is ruled out, the Bulldogs will have to find opponents for North talls Drew Petrie, Jarrad Waite and Ben Brown as they look to break the Kangaroos' seven-game winning streak.


Larkins also said:

- Tiger Ivan Maric and Bulldog Jarrad Grant, who both broke their noses at the weekend, should be fit for their respective matches.

[G-Mo77]

I'd be surprised to see Grant out there Saturday.

[bulldogtragic]

If I had a broken nose I'd be sooking it up for a month. Tough men if they play AFL the next week after training for a week.

[G-Mo77]

If I had a broken nose I'd be sooking it up for a month. Tough men if they play AFL the next week after training for a week.

It isn't just a broken nose though. Besides being a nasty break in the presser Beveridge said he could be suffering from concussion on top of it.

[bulldogtragic]

It isn't just a broken nose though. Besides being a nasty break in the presser Beveridge said he could be suffering from concussion on top of it.

Then I'd be sooking it up for 2 months.

[azabob]

It isn't just a broken nose though. Besides being a nasty break in the presser Beveridge said he could be suffering from concussion on top of it.

Not so certain Beveridge said he had concussion.

[boydogs]

Not so certain Beveridge said he had concussion.

G-Mo said could be. He may also have a fractured jaw or cheekbone. Hopefully he's OK

[azabob]

Ah, cheers boydogs.

My bad G-Mo77!

[BornInDroopSt'54]

A badly broken nose ended my football for Beverly Hills in the VAFA, despite having the temptation of continuing playing with Mark Browning, latterly of the Swans and Chris Smith latterly of the Lions. I was a hippy and didn't appreciate the violence; it was a round arm assault from their ruckman that shattered my nose and I was semi concussed.
The bridge of the nose is like an eggshell and like Humpty Dumpty. It sounds like Grant has a similar break. You'd need a fair bit of adrenalin to overcome the shock and tentativeness but it is the highest level and beware the injured player.
If the Dogs need me, I'm ready.

The Club will retain him on the Rookie list so he will have a lot of support

[Axe Man]

Not Bob - say it aint so! :(

WESTERN Bulldogs captain Robert Murphy could be in doubt for the club's first final.

Murphy pulled up sore from training on Thursday and coach Luke Beveridge said it wasn't worth risking the skipper against the Brisbane Lions.

Beveridge said it was a new issue with some high tendon soreness around the groin area.

Earlier this week Murphy had indicated he was certain to travel to Queensland.

Bevo presser today-Roughy and JJ won't play this week.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Really feel for Koby. He was having his best year to date and had become an important component of our side. A tough, hard working mid who could shift forward.

All things being equal (and touch wood) he and Libba are two big inclusions next season.
