Have we checked if Guelf inherited Orazios hamstrings when he left?
is he still hot?

Feel sorry for the player. But as a club Guelās the type of player we need to be moving on from if we are to be a serious footy club. Play the kids Brad.

I donāt think so, assuming theyād need to keep that spot for Guelfi once heās back
Maybe he signed for less to get two years?
Sucks for Guelfs. Fit he is 100% best 22. Love himā¦ but those hamstrings arenāt made for footy.
What difference does it make if itās a waste of a list spot

Thatās why thereās plenty of us who have been saying for years to move past Ibiza
Parish & Ridley in the same boat.
As reliable as a 1990 Hyundai

Clubs should sack players that have a bit of fun over seas during the off season
What about Brisbane players that went to Vegas and actually go into trouble
FC and Feb injuries ???

We could have significantly increased our rebuild speed by shipping them off for not much of a lose

You mean apart from the Bulldogs who has Jones out for that long for the same issue?

If heās the only player thatās definitely going to be unavailable early rounds its not so bad. Him & Davey really - and both are borderline best 22 anyway - other teams have farrr worse injury concerns than us

It sucks for Matt. I love how he plays and what he brings. In the context of our year its not that big a deal though. We can try some different players up forward and get a good look at them.

All good at least when you read about surgical repair of hamstrings it has a good success rate for athletes so looks like the best way forward. Itās sad obviously but at the end of the day it needs to get done. As others have said we do have Reece Unwin who could play earlier than expected

Still not sure why we signed him for 2 more years last season
He is just an average player, he plays a couple of really good games each year- a couple of decent ones and quite a few games where he is invisible
Really poor list management

I think the injury makes the signing of Tom Edwards more likely.

No way, another list clogger. Get serious EFC or continue to spiral into irrelevancy.

This is probably up there with the loss of Menzie or Goldy for the least impact I could think a long-term injury could have on our prospects or list development.
