Injury wash-up from Finals Week 1
Alright… I guess we are looking ahead to this week’s Semi Finals version of Finals Dream Team and don’t want some of these injured guns, so be wary of these blokes (thanks to Real Footy).
WESTERN BULLDOGS:
LINDSAY GILBEE (thigh) Came off the ground with a corked thigh in the last quarter. Should play this week.
ROBERT MURPHY (knee) Bruised knee. Should recover in time to play.- COLLINGWOOD:
SIMON PRESTIGIACOMO (shoulder) Injured shoulder in the first quarter. Played on though a little restricted. Very sore after game. In some doubt for this week. - ST KILDA:
JASON BLAKE (shoulder/thumb) Appeared to partially dislocate his chronically injured shoulder, for which he needs surgery at the end of the season. Club said he had a thumb injury.
And be wary of these blokes in the Preliminary Finals:
- HAWTHORN:
TRENT CROAD (foot) Did not return after half-time due to foot injury. Has two weeks to recover and should be OK.
RICK LADSON (shoulder) Minor shoulder injury. Will appreciate the extra week off.
GRANT BIRCHALL (corked hip) Very painful blow to the hip. Might have struggled for this week but with the extra time will be OK for the Hawks’ next match. - GEELONG:
BRENT PRISMALL (knee) Tore anterior cruciate ligament in the first quarter of yesterday’s match. Will have a knee reconstruction this week and will not play football for nine months.
DARREN MILBURN (thumb) Injured thumb early in the game yesterday. Played on in some discomfort. Will have scans and further assessment today.
TOM HARLEY (buttock) Landed heavily in the third quarter. Played on until halfway through the final term. Will be OK with the extra week’s rest.
PAUL CHAPMAN (hamstring) Spent the second half on the bench and walked off with ice packs on a hamstring. The Cats are hopeful he will be OK for their next match.
