The good news is that our forward line is really strong so we should be able to cover him.
Don’t take that comment seriously.

Doesnt worry me. Clears the way for Baldwin. Jones still needs to put on size before he’ll do more than flash in and out of games. Put him in the gym another month.

Options will be Cox, Baldwin, Bryan / Phillips or even Voss ….opportunities for some of the names mentioned….I would even look at Eyre.

Basing this off the back of zero proof.
I haven’t seen him train or play but could Josh Eyre be considered?
I feel he has potential
I think Eyre’s had even less of a preseason than Jones, from memory.
Martin is probably a more likely option.

Langford Martin Cox Waterman Baldwin Wright Draper will need to fill the breach for Jones.
Positive is we get Jones, Reid, Tippa and Hurley back in the mix after round 4. Have some depth now.

Negative is that we’ll be 1-3 by the end of round 4.
Langford should go nowhere near the midfield and should be played exclusively as a forward.

gees, We are Essendon! Lets hope he shakes it and also adds some strength, still seems a long term prospect
Well that sucks. Probably our most vulnerable position to lose a player in.

Either injured or had an interrupted pre season.
A good injury run would maybe 2-3 players and players that aren’t best 22

Of course he was going to miss weeks it’s Essendon
if he was at another club would be just a standard rolled ankle and maybe miss a week or 2
We’ve had a good run. Minimal injuries and nothing serious.
We will literally hit rd 1 with 2 (could argue 3) players missing from best team and all of which expected back within first month.
Go and look at other teams and maybe will stop carrying on so much about injuries.
This “other club” luck you go on about is a fantasy
Did Sam Walsh do a 2wk ankle? Did Sheed or Chesser? Did Lycett?
There will be far more best 22 players missing from the Cats than us.

Other teams would probably have injured players who aren’t in their best team
