Funny isn’t it. We follow nearly every interstate trip with a home game but that is perceived as an advantage.Yet you hear nearly every Vic club use travel back from Perth as an excuse the following week
The medical team has been restaffed, apparently.Both of the aforementioned were examined by our medical team, and sent back out on the field. And therein lies the problem
Ryans injury in particular is all nigh unforgivable because being unable to deduce a hamstring injury that requires surgery, at this level, is failing diagnosis 101. 2 basic muscle tests would have told Any compent sports medical professional that information. Fact
Some of this IS bad luck, but a lot of it is mismanagement.
Example:
"We sent Luke Shuey back on the ground when he did his hamstring, because we didn't think he could do any more damage to the hamstring. We are shocked he did his other hamstring"
Another:
"Willie Rioli looks like he has done a hamstring"
"No, the medical team says it a corkie and have taped him up"
Monday: "Um, yeah so Willie has actually done the hamstring
Etc, etc. There are more examples like this I can list unfortunately
I will say this again, the only way this changes, is if/when we take the entire medical and fitness departments, gut it, and restaff it. We have the money, connections and resources to do it so there is no excuses
Until this is done, expect more of the same. We will keep backing in our people and praying for change. And occasionally it will look ok, because even a broken clock is right twice a day
But I insist that should we restaff our medical and strength and conditioning teams, watch our "luck" miraculously improve
The medical team has been restaffed, apparently.
Pretty good article and it's great to see Bell being somewhat open with the Media on these injuries. Is a nice change of pace with the club. The issue I have is when I hear/see statements like this...
..."hoping" doesn't provide much confidence. I would expect that most players coming back from an injury should be playing managed game time in the WAFL for at least 1 or more games upon return. Hoping they are available to be thrown straight back into the heat of a full senior game is just asking for trouble IMO.
Yes but we should sack these new ones and restaff the whole department with recent uni graduates.

He's got another adductor muscle now? Well get him out there thenUnfortunately, Elliot has sustained an adductor muscle in a tackling contest on Patrick Dangerfield, so he’ll be unavailable for likely the next couple of weeks.
Yeah...what are the chances he's back after the bye.He's got another adductor muscle now? Well get him out there then
How can they be TBC weeks after or in Naitanuis case months after the injury? That says they don't know what the injury is and/or how to fix itSJOG Health Care injury update: Round 6

Also interesting, Dom Sheed is TBC and is "multiple matches away from returning", and sounds like Shuey will play this week, not sure how I feel about that.
Yes, exactly.How can they be TBC weeks after or in Naitanuis case months after the injury? That says they don't know what the injury is and/or how to fix it
To be fair its not a normal injury for a footy physio to deal with.Sheeds injury annoys me, so random and every week he gets further away
I still think the ankle injuries are from practicing indoors on a hard surface.SJOG Health Care injury update: Round 6
