#36 - Angus Clarke

Unlucky impact injury in a tackle, not the end of the world but annoying

I think the club would appreciate track watchers not going early and showing some discretion with reporting injuries

6-7 weeks for most clubs.

Essendon however won’t see him until mid year.

Hmm. Then what’s the point in reading a training report if it doesn’t note a player being helped from the field with an injury or it’s just all positives?? The possums in the trees couldn’t have missed the Clarke injury, it’s hardly keeping it mum.

Many of the Essendon social media crew have noticeably dialed back their critiquing of the team / club this year. Let’s hope objectivity isn’t lost.

I get that track watchers are now commercialising their passions but if a training report is not going to touch on significant injuries then what’s the point?

Difficult balancing act given there’s likely club access to take into account and we all benefit from that. However, if it’s all going to be roses then at least we can think we might win a flag!

Of course it had to be syndesmosis couldn’t be a 2-3 week injury fark me we are cursed

They are just extended arms of the club so you will find there is never a negative word to be had about the club

Gee…you must be bored if you’re now starting to criticise the training watchers.

The people who actually take the time to go to training and give the rest of us some awareness of how the team is progressing.

Surely you could find a better target for your “disappointment/outrage”

They’re wonderful people and devoted fans like us. It’s a difficult balance I’m sure. Just my observation that’s all.

Go back to the politics thread my friend.

Iam not calling into question their character we all know they are great people, my point is that they are basically club media team at this point

Oh good. Here I was expecting a massive over reaction to the only serious injury we have ahead over the preseason. I’m glad everyone can see that although it sucks, it is an incidental injury that you cannot prevent.

Prior is on that wing

Good on them I say! Abd the club don’t have to employ an expanded digital / coms team.

However, if meaty stuff like Clarke injury is now going to be not mentioned then it’s reasonable to question the value of some of the reports.

Horrible take tbh. I get that it would be nice to know this earlier, but what different does it really make between hearing it at 3pm when the track watchers report what they saw, or 5pm when the club reports it?

If you think you can do better - go and do it yourself - but until you are ready to dedicate that much of your time and effort to report for Essendon fans, just shut up mate.

Doesnt this just mean we are more likely to see Farrow and Kondogiannis?
