Injury updates during finals

[MannyK]

From the Norwood site.

Rawlings discussed his side’s injury list.

“It (selection) will be difficult, but there’s a lot to get through between now and next week. Declan Hamilton we think will be right, Finn Heard would play if it (the game) were this week and Jackson Callow will get back running this week and hopefully responds well and hopefully will be right as well.

“Matt Panos is a tricky one, he’s been getting close but has been dealing with a unique injury. Connor McLean will run this week, if he were to get back it would be through the Reserves to start with and Jack Saunders is another player that’s had a fracture in his ankle and probably tried to come back a little too quick. He (Saunders) should play in the Reserves Final next week.

“It’s a challenge but our job is to assemble the best group together and keep some team balance and chemistry.

“There’s a lot to consider when it comes to Matt (Panos), he’s been an incredible contributor for Norwood and the competition. Whatever we do it will be done in the right way, for the club, team and him.”

Reading that and putting 2+2 together that may or may not come up with a number between 3.5 and 4.5, it almost reads as if Panos is done.

Sad if true as he has been a great servant of SANFL footy.

Norwood injuries list

Jack Saunders Ankle 1 Week
Patrick Walker: Knee 1-2 Weeks
Oscar Hodge Hamstring 1-2 Weeks
Cory Stockdale Knee Season
Ethan Warburton Shoulder Season

Looks like we have just Saunders under a cloud. Panos should get another game in with the Ressies and then the selection nightmare begins.

Personally I think Norwood should go with the same squad that played the Dogs.
