Torrey Craig can now be added to that list

Source for that? I saw he was injured, but there was nothing about a prognosis.

Add Barlow to the list. He played pre season and then injured his calf, it wasn't a pre existing injury from 18 months ago, that was achilles.

Blanchfield and CG missed 5 games each. Not sure how many weeks.

How long was Trice out for?

I think Trice missed two weeks, played one, then missed another one or two.

I'm including Khazzouh, so Barlow would count even if it was last season's injury. I just forgot about him.

It seems injuries have hit 4 of the bottom 5 sides the hardest.

Could it be that injuries have been the equalising factor of this season?

Trice was injured during the Illawarra game, 30/10 and returned 18/11. Not 4 weeks.

Add Blanchfield to the list. Played 27/10, got injured at training and returned 4/12.

Add CG43 to the list. Goulding injured during the game 20/10, returned 18/11. But you could say he "missed" 4 weeks because the injury game was the first of two games that weekend. So he missed games in 4 consecutive weekends.

Name your top Injury side of the 16-17 season- Matt

Khazzouh

Creek

Martin

Woodside
Webster
Abercrombie

Andersen
Barlow
Blanchfield
Goulding
Williams

Bairstow

Plenty of others have been injured without missing 4 weeks: Trice, Norton, Knight, Kenney, Johnson, Lisch, Loughton, Weigh, Jawai. That's off the top of my head.

Depending on how you define it, another one: Hadziomerovic was injured last season and only returned to training a month or so ago.

Any others that I've missed?

Was Wroe another? I feel like Perth had another injury somewhere along the line

Depending on how you define it, another one: Hadziomerovic was injured last season and only returned to training a month or so ago.

What season is this KobeKlueless?

Here the Torrey Craig source.
http://www.cairnspost.com.au/sport/brisbane-bullets-thrown-into-injury-crisis-after-torrey-craig-joins-cameron-bairstow-on-casualty-list/news-story/70e1f97d20f3f4848f95dfd4f6ba497b

Don't cry.

Craig has told Bullets officials he should also be right to take on United

Again, depends how you define it on Hadziomerovic.

He was travelling along nicely last season, and if he'd never sustained a long term injury then I think there's a fair chance he would've been on the roster this season instead of Owen Odigie, who was himself returning from injury.

What he produced in the first 12 or 14 games of last season was greater than anything I've seen from Odigie in his 4 or 5 years in the system. Hadzi was playing the proyotype hustle player, in a star studded team.

So you could say that injury has prevented him from being in the NBL this season.

And Hadzi is still training with United btw. Just recently on twitter they put up a picture of him.

Maybe he'll be back in the NBL next season.

It's not a question of defining anything Iggy was released in the offseason he's not on MU's roster and hasn't been all season yet you're trying to add him to MU's injury list to try and inflate your "see look how many injuries MU have had this season" narrative to excuse their poor season.

Nothing to do with it, even if Iggy was healthy, he would be playing minimal minutes and isn't significantly better than Odigie such that he would've made a difference to United.

Damn, you say some stupid things Zodiac.

This thread is just trying to ascertain how many injuries there are in the NBL compared to other times in NBL history. Iggy was injured and this prevented him from taking part in the NBL this season. Arguably he would be taking part in this current NBL season if he hadn't been injured whilst an active NBL player.

But of course, it wasn't an injury that took place in the current season or pre season. So it's an ambiguous one.

If you're looking strictly at "how many injuries took place this season" he doesnt belong.

If you're looking at the more interesting and more relevant question of how many players have an injury that impacted their availability for this current NBL season, then he goes on the list.

Anon you regularly post 4 or 5 times in a row, so I don't see what the issue is.

Damn, you say some stupid things Zodiac.

Zodiac, FYI, so far in this current season my sportsbet account is in a profit of about 10-12% based on bets I've cashed out so far. I couldn't care much less about what you think tbh.

The team to beat can change every week.

Adelaide are the team to beat right now, if they get beaten by Perth tomorrow does that mean they weren't the team to beat the day before?

Ponder on that riddle for a while. When you have the answer get back to me.

Of course it is and MU were never the team to beat.

Is that why MU are still $6.00 for the 'ship right now, despite losing last weekend and having yet another player go down with a 4-6 week injury?

I remember when MU was 3-7, Perth was about 6-3 or 6-4 or so and I told Dazz on these forums that UTD's position wasn't really that bad in comparison.

Seemed a little bit crazy at the time. Such is life.

Interesting that the big market teams are stalling on injury replacements, especially when anyone could still make a strong run towards the post-season.

Breakers have an import spot to burn presumably. Same with Brisbane and Sydney. Perth made their questionable call, though who knows how it might play out - Martin could return and be enough to get them over the line.

Could we see Cedric Jackson reunited with Lemanis in Brisbane?

Another question if a player gets injured after the 8 minimum games played is he allowed to be replaced.
