Quite a few injuries were sustained over the ANZAC weekend of footy… and quite a few that will affect our Dream Teams. The big one is Chad Cornes and his broken finger… he is confident he will just miss this week and come back in a fortnight wearing a glove! Go The Chad! Bret Thornton was another bloke a heap of people jumped on and would have been gutted that he scored 2 points and then wasn’t seen for the rest of the game. His knee injury will mean he will miss around 4 weeks. Adam Hartlett’s hamstring will sideline him for around 3 weeks. Justin Fletcher will miss a couple of weeks with his groin injury while team mate Alwyn Davey, is another added to the ‘out for the season’ list. Aaron Edwards looks to have have cracked a bone in his leg… probably miss around 6 weeks. The worlds best DT ruckman, Dean Cox, is struggling with his ongoing foot problem… watch this space. Some other guys who sustained injuries and are touch and go for this weekend are: Tom Harley, Antoni Grover, Roger Hayden, Steven Dodd, Ben Rutten, Adam Hunter and Shannon Hurn. There also might be some possible returns this week. Full injury lists will be published later today.

Any word on Travis Tuck coming back?
justin comes from when roy, chop and i were at uni. former roo and tas vfl coach, matthew armstrong was talking about justin fletcher in a coaching course. called him justin about 40 times. was friggen hilarious
mm i guess the big dew train is out for another week..who would the hawks drop for him anyway?
The word on Channel Ten news last night was that Shannon Hurn was out for 4 -6 weeks with a cracked Fibula. Maybe Scott Selwood could take his place..
Someone else said Selwood got injured in the WAFL.
I love it was Feltcher gets injured.
hope hunters alright but if not i could do a sideways trade for gilbee who had a shit hot week but still dropped in price. what do you rekon good or bad? and i wanna get rid of josh hill now whos good for that?
add Warnie to the injury list again… went to get plaster off after 10 weeks in it… GOT ANOTHER 4 TO GO! Grr.. i’m not happy…
Just read this and thought it might be of interest to those with the Chad.
PORT Adelaide utility Chad Cornes says he will be sidelined until at least round nine of the AFL season because of a broken finger.
Cornes has had surgery to repair the ring finger on his right hand which was broken during Port’s win over St Kilda.
Cornes confirmed today he would miss the AFL’s Dream Team game against Victoria at the MCG on Saturday May 10.
“There were bits of bone and bits and pieces everywhere,” Cornes said of his injury.
“They put a plate across the top of the break and six or seven screws in it as well, so it was a pretty decent break.”
Cornes said the earliest he could return was Port Adelaide’s home fixture against Sydney on May 24.
Warnie, everyone knows that SuperCoach shits on DT (i’m going to cop it for that)…how about some supercoach on ths site?
So basically he could come back on May 24th if everything heals perfectly… I don’t rely on best case scenarios so I’m assuming they probably won’t risk him until maybe even a week or two later than that. Sounds like more of a shatter than a break.
piss off dooky!!
Go set yourself on fire dooky.
any chance of that lame duck nicoski getn bak in2 the weagles backline this week with all the injuries/suspensions?
hahahaha supercoach for life!!!
