Injury 2022 Injury Updates Thread

[Enviable Tradition]

The surgeon we used to use had a bad cycling accident and is no longer working

 

[VineValerian]

Goes from "he's fine to play" to "a bit sore" to "he has an infection" to "needs surgery to perform a clean out"

The story changes more often than Burnside councillor Mr "bikini" Carbone

 

[Tibbs]

Of course Lycett has zero responsibility in this ... "I have no pain ... I am all good ... I am ready to play." After all, the Port medical and fitness staff have x-ray vision and should have detected these internal issues.

Just so slack!

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Would love to know how that wasn't picked up earlier. Highly unlikely that is a new thing. This sorta missed/extremely late diagnosis is something happening within our walls incredibly regularly.

His surgeon ****ed up. His surgeon doesn't work for the club.

 

[RossFC]

Bonner and McKenzie listed on the extended bench. Jackson Lee back for the SANFL side after his MCL injury. Lachie Jones not ready to return.

And Dumonts 1-2 weeker is approaching what 5 weeks?

And Dumonts 1-2 weeker is approaching what 5 weeks?

Yep, they said he'd miss 1 game. I think he's had calf problems at North as well.

 

[Expat power]

If i remember correctly, last year Butters got an infection after his ankle surgery. Was there another player it happened to as well? Dixon?
Concerning.

Yep and also happened to Bergman had to have his shoulder surgery twice after an infection the first time. This isn't specific to Port it's happening everywhere.

 

[RossFC]

Based on Power Plus's open training pictures. Sinn, Teakle, Fantasia, Jones and Dumont all participated, so they shouldn't be too far away. Bonner wearing a helmet.

Dumont and Fantasia worked away from the group for the most part.

 

[Alberton Proud]

What has happened to Lycett is Charlie Dixon all over again. Charlie was ready then suddenly he needed more surgery. Maybe we need to use a different surgeon or review our fitness staff?

May I suggest a new coach also ?

 

[Capital Power]

May I suggest a new coach also ?

An interesting thought. I'd like to explore that in the context of our current failed season - worth a new thread perhaps?

 

[TeeKray]

Fantasia with his shirt off at the end of the latest Rock the Razbah episode, bloody hell.

Now I'm no Chadbro but can 100% say I'm in better shape than him. Maybe you can get away with it if you're out there and playing good footy but when you get injured every second minute and haven't played a game all year it's not particularly hard to join the dots. It's actually disgraceful.

Rockliff is in better shape.

And he's been retired for a year.

And had deep vein thrombosis.

Let me say that again, the pig is in better shape.

Hugh Jackson not playing SANFL this week.

 

[Long live PAFC]

Have we he had more soft tissue injuries this year? And more delays in return from injury? Or does it just feel that way? If it is true, perhaps it’s AFL wide and related to the soft cap restrictions?

On the infections - it’s rare after that kind of surgery and in athletes full stop. Brodie Grundy

It's because we binned our fitness department and looked for the replacement on wish/alibaba

 

[Long live PAFC]

You would think that the AFL would prioritise clubs having adequate fitness staff. If teams aren’t fit enough or recovery is poor, the product isn’t as good. And players could rightfully take legal action if they felt their injury was mismanaged, like Egan at Geelong or Venables with concussion. Psychological support similar really.

Probably more important than coaches. Ie run with min coaches over min fitness staff

 

[RossFC]

Marshall with a possible quad injury right at the end of the game.

If Butters requires an op. of some sort, do it now as the season is virtually shot. Give the lad time to recover properly.

 

[Capital Power]

Any update on Todd?

FFS why did we rush him back haven't learnt from our mistakes clearly. This club is in desperate need of change .
