Not sure why you would post info. from injuryupdate.com?

That site is about as reliable as Travis Cloke's goal kicking.

First time I have seen or heard of it and I didn't realise it was crap.

Good to see Sam Reid off our list. He would have been a handy replacement for Boyd (if he misses).

A guy with no pre-season replacing the guy who has been our hardest runner (and best performed midfielder) so far this season?

I rate him but I think he'll need a few weeks to gain match fitness before pushing for selection.

Sam Reid may even push for selection with our injuries, would like to see him play a few games at willy first but I guess at the momment we have to take who we can!

I should have added ‘if he was fit’ to the end, as I certainly wasn’t suggesting that he come straight in.

I hope that website is crap otherwise Aker will be out for a few more.

I think they just guess half the time. I wouldn't worry about it.

Heard some pickle from Hutchy's media company say that Boyd will miss a month even with the plate inserted .

[LostDoggy]

Good to see Callan on the TBA, hopefully the fella gets back playing soon.

My understanding is that Mulligan has been training strongly this week. Doubtful to play for Williamstown but he is ahead of schedule.

GVG, do you know if Reid will actually play for Willy this week?

Not that I have heard. I'll ask some of the group that head down to training.

The club one is usually hit and miss as well. I have known them to forget players when we know they are injured; do agree injury update site is rubbish.
