K-aram92 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Not sure if it's been mentioned above but I also asked Gameiro if he thought he'd be up for round 1. Seems very unlikely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 I get the feeling that this is not so much a crisis but more JVS being spooked about the injury record and wrapping everyone who even looks injured in cotton wool, until they are probably about 10000000% sure they are ready. if I were JVS I'd be playing for draws the first two rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt50 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 It certainly appears we are bringing players back into the fold late. It's an overly cautious approach, but given the Heart's injury record in the past and the chicken littles on this forum and the media, I certainly don't blame JVS and the medical staff for having that approach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I agree - At this time of the Season at lot of players are going to be listed as injured who would be pushing through if it was in a few months time...Nevertheless, given that one of the objects of pre-season is to get players used to each other and the style that the coach wants them to play - especially with the turnover on players that we have had - it's not helpful to have so many players on the sidelines and for such extended periods. Particularly players such as Zullo and Hughes who we've signed only for one season.People have focussed on Sorensen as a waste of a visa place; if anyone should be the focus of that attention it should be Hughes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embee Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Considering we haven't even played an A-League game yet, I'd say labeling anyone as a waste of a VISA place is very premature. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murfy1 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) I agree about wrapping players in cotton wool. I've got a feeling our new physio department is taking a cautious approach to the recovery of players. And whilst I agree that now isn't the time to definitively judge the value of any new player to the team, I also find it disappointing that Hughes, who's only signed for this season, is sidelined. It's not like he's been playing a lot for either club or country. So I'd like to see him on the pitch and making a positive impact pretty soon.

Maybe it's lack of match fitness, but surely a player lacking match fitness doesn't get on the bench for his country as "Hewgs" was only a week or so ago?

Murfy1 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Here's the list of injured/recovering players · James Brown - long term injury. Hernan Espindola signed as an injury replacement· Marc Marino - MCL injury · Harry Novillo - doing recovery work in the gym (instagram)· Ivan Franjic - "I'll be 50-50 for the start of the season" (today)· David Williams - at least doing fitness training with the team at training (photo 16 of training last week)· Ben Garuccio – at least doing fitness training with the team at training (photo 17 of training last week)· Corey Gameiro - “I’m doing very well and back in training with the team, so I’m very close” (Twitter, 29 Sept.)· Jacob Melling - full training with the team (photo 1 of training last week)· Michael Zullo – unknown. When asked if he'd be a chance for round 1 on Twitter, he said "fingers crossed!" (Twitter, 29 Sept.)· Aaron Hughes - unknown The above is what's definitely known. Also it was reported yesterday that "City has gone deep into the FFA Cup despite having a lot of players out injured during the pre-season. Paartalu said most of those players were back in full training now and would gradually be seen as the club's A-League campaign takes off. Many of those players are attackers." (http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2015/10/03/mooy-form-no-surprise-paartalu) Maybe there's a reason why only 1 player, James Brown, has an injury replacement, because the other players are pretty close to being ready for selection. So it might be that player recoveries are actually progressing well 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't think of a paid employee of Melbourne City that could play the 'voice of reason' character, so Jennifer will have to be played by Jennifer.MC offical: I gave an interview only this morning to the press, assuring them that there are no long-term injuries at this club and there certainly won't be surgeries, so...Jennifer: Well, why on Earth would you do that?MC official: Why? Oh, don't know. A little word I think's important in a sporting club called "morale".Jennifer: Well, surely it's going to be worse for morale in the long run when these do become LTIs and you've told our supporters that they won't be.[pause]MC official: They won't remember.(rinse and repeat) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
