Injury report: Several players undergo post-season surgery

A number of Port Adelaide players have had post-season surgery, with limited expected impact to their respective pre-seasons.

Pre-season training starts November 21.

Wines (arthroscopic surgery on his left knee to clean out some loose bodies) will be managed through the early stages of pre-season training.

Travis Boak underwent a left side hernia repair but it is not expected to impact his return for pre-season training in early December.

Josh Sinn had a similar procedure, which also included an abdominal tendon repair, and will have a staggered progression into full drills when he resumes training with the first to fourth year players in late November.

Nov 21 seems very late for a return. That's a full 3 months since our last game. I though post season break was 8 weeks?

If we played finals, perhaps it would have been 8 weeks.

Every year the premiers talk about the shortened pre-season compared to the cellar dwellers that get to start training a month beforehand. 2018 & 2019 preseason started 1st week of November, not 4th.

Has something changed?

6 weeks after Tuesday 27th September is November 8th. Perhaps 21st is the return date for the senior players.

Interesting that the B&F shall be scheduled no later than a week after the GF, lol.

They don't state whether it is the 'AFL or AFLW' one.

Check mate nerds.

When is this supposed to happen?

I saw Georgie was taking hangars at the original Coliseum a week ago.

Georgiades is off to West Coast as part of the Rioli trade so he's not going anymore.

Are you implying my speculative scenario from Monday night of how to get pick 2 to North, or just being your usual pessimistic self?

I was taking the piss out of the fact that West Coast and their fans think MG is gettable.

Wasn’t Fantasia supposed to be on this camp too?

His leg shattered trying to get into the taxi going to the airport

Most recent prognosis is a prosthetic and 27 weeks rehab

He prepares best on the couch.

Can't imagine that was ever the case.

Saw Drew is over there in New York, thought he mightve been joining, but obviously not.

 

[Powerade 08]

Fantasia does the collective minds camp every off-season. they blindfold him and hit him with hammers

 

[Ports1870]

Looks like Fantasia is with the missus in Italy.

 

[JimmyBC]

The training with Trav thing probably gets a bit too much air you'd think he's the only fit guy in the AFL the way people carry on.

It does, the professionalism is striking though and hard to ignore.

Boaks had Bont and Petracca join him in past years too, both before those 2 had huge years.

Sometimes the stigma can have a bigger impact than the actual workouts.

 

[MrMeaner]

I'm kind of glad Boak has only taken teammates with him this time.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I'm kind of glad Boak has only taken teammates with him this time.

I think the other club players who are there are also Red Bull ambassadors, like Petracca.

Plenty of Nonna's pasta and pizza over there.

Yeah, I know and I don't blame Trav. He needs to keep his sponsors happy. It's just the competitor in me feeling a bit strange to give a leg up to some of the better opponents' better players.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Plenty of Nonna's pasta and pizza over there.

And a hike up Mr. Vesuvius. Nothing could go wrong.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Trav has a testimonial on their home page along with a few other US based pro athletes. Looks like its 4 years old. These guys don't have anything to do with Red Bull.
