Collins out for 6 weeks with MCL injury

[caz]

I really like his defence. I think he’d be better on an edge long term than through the middle.

yeah, he hits hard

[SamKerrSimp]

This club collects knee injuries like they're pokemon

[A Country Member]

We don’t need this. Very slim pickings in the middle, no one of any decent size ready to replace.

[QWERTY]

One of our best defenders. Hopefully he comes back firing

[Rooster_6]

Outside of maybe Watson there is no player that works harder off the ball, non one that leads line speed like he does and he's simultaneously one of the biggest hitters and one of the best cover defenders. ttr

I think people are massively undervaluing him in this team.

[The Sack]

Latrell leads with the knees in this tackle which is very dangerous thing to do. Just ask Lindsay. Imagine if the situation was reversed.

[Vasco]

I dont think we will miss him on current form in attack. We might miss his defence

Yep. We will miss his hussle, chasing kicks, diving on loose balls etc.

[Bates]

At least we get 1 bye inside that 6 week time-frame. Small mercies.

Team list please.

[Vasco]

Nat Butcher is his replacement.

yeah, but i think it was the other bloke who made contact with the knee. just one of those things.

don't know if lindsay gets a game before the origin team is selected. tough for him if he misses out but could be a boon for us

Lindsay is a smart guy.

He has not just had an ACL, but also a multitude of bad head knocks.

Even JWH wouldn't come back from a rough period like that full of beans.

Being a smart guy, it probably also plays on his mind quite a lot. He doesn't have the luxury of being mentally a 'pig' who will just charge it up without thought or preservation.

He'll come good again, but I think it will be next year.

Expecting him to be 70-80% effective even when he comes back from this MCL.

JWH came back from an ACL injury midway through 2016 and didn't get back to his best until mid-late 2017

hopefully his smartness means he can block out all of that and play his best footy possible
