Injury Injuries 2023

[Golden_6]

It's the same injury Robert Harvey had. Harvey jumped off his kitchen table and snapped it on purpose. He went on to play the following week.

Otherwise if you let it linger it can take months to recover.

That's not true. A plantar fasciitis issue can come in many forms. There are also many different forms of treatment & rehab that don't involve the ancient technique that does quite often cause more damage.

Doc owns Pickett don't change that

Dale was good on Pickett last year, both defensively (where he’s improved a lot) and hurting him the other way.

 

[doggiesin08]

Agree. I think we're more likely to go with Cleary who is not a bad match for Fritsch.
I guess it depends on whether the Dees go with two rucks and play one of Gawn or Grundy as forward.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Gawn spends a lot of time a kick behind the play, trying to free up an intercept mark while keeping our 3 talks in check, while Grundy runs around with English.

It’s not a bad shout, give Pickett something to worry about going back the other way

The second game we played against them last year we had 5 defenders standing right next to their forward and then Dale and Pickett 30-40m apart at each centre bounce.

Dale was much more effective getting the ball as we exited out the back of the contest than Pickett was hurting us from a Dees quick kick forward.

I've had this for 16 months and I'm still working on it. A person is very fortunate if it is only a problem for a short time. Good luck Roarke.

AFL site reporting Weightman no certainty for round 1.

Why do I feel clubs string out the diagnosis for these marketable players more than others prior to round 1....

I’ve got it too. I walk up to 24km a day for work. Often I can barely hobble to the coffee machine first thing in the morning. Once I get going it’s fine for the first 15km, but it kicks in after that and makes walking painful .

It’s like having a permanent massive bruise on your heel. If I jump and land on the sore spot , it’s like stepping on Lego x 10. There’s no real cure for it.

I guess for a footy player it would be like running with a badly bruised heel all the time. I don’t think you can make it worse by playing with it , but you’d be in pain all the time.

Anyone have an update on Bedendo? Hopefully he just has a niggle and was not risked over the weekend due to that and nothing more serious.

Also had it for a few years. Was a complete bi****. For me it was caused by muscular imbalance and weakness. I had to work on glutes (balance), tibialis anterior, calfs, squats and deads - all barefoot for two years before it was 99% gone.

Bresker, I suffered from plantar fasciitis for a couple of months and a PE teacher mate of mine striapped my heel and foot and taught me how to strap it myself. I felt relief immediately. It took about a month of tight strapping and the pain eventually faded away. I hope this is helpful.

I used this method of strapping:

Plantar Fasciitis Taping

Plantar fasciitis taping instantly relieves symptoms of plantar related heel pain. It is quick, easy and inexpensive to apply.

Plantar fasciitis felt like a bruised heel. I casually mentioned to a doctor I was bushwalking with that I must have trodden heavily on a rock and she said that’s no bruised heel, that’s plantar fasciitis.

Her recommended treatment was to freeze a 500m drink bottle. Then first thing in the morning as your feet touch the floor put the bottle under the afflicted foot and roll it firmly back and forward with the foot. That plus some calf stretching exercises before and after walks. That worked for me.

Haven’t had it for many years now and I do a lot of walking.

 

[The Inbetweener]

I know we said he’d be reassessed in 2-3 weeks, but does anyone know a realistic timeframe for Gardner’s return? Jay Clark on MMM said it could be a couple of months.

I’ve never been a massive Gardner fan, but I think he’ll benefit massively from being our 3rd defender behind Jones and Keath.

I saw him at Ikon Park and he didn’t have a sling on the elbow, only a compression bandage. The injury report suggested that was he booked in for surgery last week so if that went ahead then it certainly wasn’t a major surgery.

I thought I read Gardner was aiming for round 2 or 3? I wouldn't read much into what Jay Clarke says, he's comfortably the stupidest bloke prancing around pretending to be a journalist.

What on earth do you do for work bresker?

I read water meters. One and the next and the next …. 500-600 a day . When I’m busy 12 hour days . I don’t just walk, I scrabble in the dirt and lift steel & concrete lids .

It keeps the bailiffs away.

No insight but with the gap between last week and round 1, plus the VFL starting a week later, taking the conservative approach gives him until 25th March for a competitive game vs playing 4th March. If he was unlikely to play AFL in round 1 anyway then that seems a sensible decision.

Nice! You might have been at my house yesterday. We had a meter reader come by and he was training some young lad. I had no idea you got through so many per day.

 

[Golden_6]

I’m not sure if it’s been different this preseason because of training surfaces etc. but we seem to have been very conservative with sore players during the preseason.

Then again it may simply due to the club being more open (physically and metaphorically) over the summer.

Wow, that's quite a big call, given there are lots of stupid blokes prancing around pretending to be journalists!

I’ve spoken to people in lots of walks of life. From radio presenters, statisticians, people at clubs. General consensus is he’s an absolute sandal.

 

[Iamspock]

That's really interesting, I would have thought most of us punters would probably firstly think Robbo, Barrett, Sam McClure, Tom Brown, Fox Footy and Football Confidential, would be stupid prancing blokes, and to be fair prancing women, pretending to be journalists.

 

[gordo2016]

I find it very difficult deciding who is the most stupid journalist. You could mount a case for anyone of these bogans. "She's got her liquor licence" has died in the arse, but one person who never ceases to amaze is Tommy. He gets my vote in a blanket finish.

Not a pretty bunch admittedly, but come on guys Purple is next level. That photo is classic.
