How does the injury list for the AFL fantasy teams work?

Question

I am updating this weekends fantasy team & have been going through the clubs' injury lists.

Jeez, each week one sees RL players fronting up with stitches in their head, broken noses, black eyes etc - because they are tough & play a mans game!

By the look of the lists, in the newspapers, the AFL players have a week off if they break a fingernail; graze a knee or get sprig marks on their legs!! They even have one listed as not playing because of "soreness"......big sook!

Answer 1

It lists how long each player will be unavailable for.

We have our own system at Collingwood. Sometimes players miss games because they get chafed by having their shorts too tight - I just love those type of shorts - that's why I never miss a training session.

Answer 2

Ah your back with another award winning thread.

Your AFL obsession is becoming a bit worrying, I just talked to your mum and she's gona come over tonight to tuck you in and read you a bed time story.

She also said to pick up those sticky tissues in your room that she found after you were watching Collingwood vs Geelong last Friday night.

I know you like those short shorts but geez

Answer 3

well sometimes if they get a booboo on their finger they might be out for weeks. They also take time off due to involvement in g*y parades(g*y first, then afl). A fingernail is a torn Achilles of afl. The reason most of these girls and f**s (also known as majority melbourne citizens)play afl  is because they are too scared to get hurt and requires very little talent. This was also proven by the son of a great nrl player that quit nrl to play afl(what a disgrace of a son, i feel sorry for the guy).

Answer 4

it is because the clubs dont want to risk there players, to play a game of footy u need to be 100% and being sore is a higher chance to get injured or make it worse... so i suggest u go have a nanna nap and think about what you are talking about!!!

ok i admit asking for peoples opinions whethewr or not i could make afl when older, but i already know how to play the game and didnt ask anything about kicking a football or anything, so get ur facts correct!!! and how come i have 2 people that voted my answer good instead of bad???

who knows, i probably know more than you about the game... and i think my answer to your poor question was good!!!

Answer 5

It works for the fantasy team the same way as it does for the real teams. They're not picked if they're injured!
