    1. The challenge is to downgrade the suspension to one match

      “The incident was graded as Careless Conduct, High Impact and High Contact, resulting in a two-game sanction with no discount for an early guilty plea.

      West Coast will challenge that the level of impact should be downgraded to medium, rather than high, which would result in a one-match suspension.”

    1. Woops! My bad missed the top post.

      In other news I’m going to be sidelined for 4 weeks and sent into rehab in Indonesia as of Tuesday night.

      Going to be a long recovery process with some light activity on the site. Should be back in action come round 17

    1. Adelaide:

      Matt Crouch – Scans confirmed he will need shoulder surgery and will miss the rest of the season.

      “It’s really disappointing for Matt who has been playing some great footy this year,” Adelaide high performance manager Darren Burgess said.

      “Unfortunately, the severity of the injury requires surgery and he will miss the rest of the season.

      “But the timing of it means he will begin his rehabilitation straight away and be ready for the start of pre-season.”

    1. “The only thing I know about his injury is that he was coming off for a couple of weeks midway through a second quarter and couldn’t feel his foot,”

      “He’d take his boot off and it (his foot) was black. That’s a concern, you know something’s not right. They were able to find the vascular issue, which is basically blood flow into and out of his foot.”

  21. North Melbourne: Colby McKercher

    From the North Melbourne injury report.


    “Colby has had an extended off-load period to ensure healing of that metatarsal bone stress,” White said.
    “He completed his first AlterG [treadmill] run on Tuesday pain-free, with the next steps this week being a move to running sessions on ground.
    “If he completes that this week without awareness in that spot, then we will have a clear return to play timeline mapped out from next week, where we can progress his on-field training towards a return to play.”

    1. The way that kid plays, he’s going to get suspended plenty. I hope he doesn’t change! Love the fend offs and general bull in a china shop style. That time on the weekend that he had a bad 5 minutes after getting crunched and not getting a free then lost his mind reminded me of that very funny footage when BT lost it at the umpire 🙂

  24. Western Bulldogs: Ed Richards will be given another week off to recover from his concussion despite coming out of the mandatory 12-day.

    Luke Beveridge said Richards, who was concussed in the round 10 loss to Sydney, “didn’t perform as well” in some post-concussion tests as the club would have liked to bring him back straight away.

  31. “Melbourne superstar Christian Petracca had surgery last night for a lacerated spleen, a punctured lung and four broken ribs.
    Petracca went under the knife and stayed in hospital overnight after it was discovered his condition was worst than first thought, following a heavy hit in the loss to Collingwod on Monday.

    The injuries threaten to sideline Petracca for months in a major blow to the Demons’ spluttering season.”
