Yet you hear nearly every Vic club use travel back from Perth as an excuse the following week
Funny isn’t it. We follow nearly every interstate trip with a home game but that is perceived as an advantage.

Is does seem our trips to Vic are somehow more taxing to their trips here. ??????

This is despite, as mentioned elsewhere, eastward travel being harder on the body. We play after that every trip.
 
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.

Exactly this

Rather just play without a ruck than "hope" Jamo will make it through

Probably says alot tbh
 
Yes but we should sack these new ones and restaff the whole department with recent uni graduates.

Unfortunately, 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.
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 it

I still think the ankle injuries are from practicing indoors on a hard surface.
 
If you count Baker and Winder, there’s 17 on the injured list with only 3 a chance of being available anytime soon - Shuey, Jamieson and Bailey Williams

The remainder would appear to be out for several weeks/months

Sheed maybe if his throat settles down in a couple of weeks will be available and there’s no real clarity on any of Burgiel, Cole or Winder so hopefully their injuries aren’t too serious
