That’s not what EMac had, is it?

 

[donpyke92]

Glad the club has announced that, not Splinter Dick et al.
Would like to think Simmo wasn't happy with a Blistergate scenario, talking B.S to public/media, ala Nicnat injury.
Doesn't sound like a quick fix, so rest & patience required, by player & fans.

OUT (jelly beans)

Sounds a but similar to what Finn Callaghan went through

Be interested to see if the club knew/took this into account when they drafted him.

Why do I keep seeing people talking about Hewett's blisters?

It was an off hand comment made by Simpson in this press conference from a couple weeks back (skip to 2:45 and 3:40) but he talked at decent length about his foot issue and I thought it was fairly clear that that was the issue and his blisters were more of a minor setback.

"Elijah had blisters over the weekend, but he’s progressing well. He’s had a bit of a foot issue, it’s not holding him back too much but he’s missed a few weeks now so that’ll be a longer process."

"It’s not stress related, but there was the potential there could have been, so we just pulled him back a little bit and then I think he changed his boots last week. I think he was good to get into some drills today but that held him back a little bit."

Bone bits and ballet: How young Giant got back in the dance

Interesting, looks like Callaghan was seeing the same doctor as Hewett is.

Hopefully they manage to treat it without the need for surgery but at least that's an option that's previously worked if the treatment is unsuccessful.

 

[Keys]

That’s not what EMac had, is it?

Looked it up

Emac had stress fractures in his toes

So different

 

[TY24]

Who had sesamoiditis on their bingo card

Sounds like an allergy to Sesame Street

I'm yet to hear of a player openly volunteering information about their injuries or suspected injuries heading into their draft year.

There's open secrets like Judd's shoulders and then there's other things such as this, that could be chalked up as niggles and can escape the scrutiny of general scans.

Pretty sure Cripps hid his diabetes diagnosis in the lead up to the draft.

Oh I get why Hewitt wouldn't declare it, just curious as to whether clubs did any digging as he seemed to have a bit of a drop off in his draft year production wise which now makes more sense.

Hopefully it works out as he slid and he becomes a star but I'd be a bit miffed as the club if a potential career threatening injury was kept from me.

I still like to tell myself that we were the reason he cooled his jets a bit pre-draft

High heels huh?

 

[Rowan18]

Gotta hand it to the club

Their ability to find new and exotic injuries for players is unparalleled

Who had sesamoiditis on their bingo card

I’ve never heard of it

I'm glad to see them trying to get on it early, but I'm annoyed at their continual cloak and dagger stuff. Wasn't it just two weeks ago when Simmo said he only had blisters? The guy is a second year player in a wooden spoon team, it's not top secret if he has an injury.

Funnily enough, I read about this last week. Hopefully Hewitt can get the help he needs...

They fixed a ‘broken’ ballet star. Now these researchers are schooling footy players

Inside the ballet’s rehab centre, dancers spin with trackers teaching La Trobe researchers about the limits of the human body. And saving dance careers.

Time to do a Chicky and amputate the Toe?

 

[Hillsy13]

On the bright side if he’s been hampered these last 2 years he might have an even higher ceiling than we thought

So...does that mean this year is pretty much cooked then? Sounds like it if he's going to specialists in the pre season.

Good article.
Hopefully they can get Hewett up and running. He’s a gun!

Didn't Hewett have covid during his draft year?

From the article;
Mason Wood from the St Kilda Football Club was constantly in shin splints before he met Mayes.

“And I had this basically dead toe hanging to the side,” Wood says, while stretching his foot at the bar against a heavy-duty resistance band.
“Three weeks later, the splints were off, I was out of orthopedics, and my top speed jumped.”

Hewitts already supposed to be a speedster at the club, this could turbo him to next level...

 

[DanWCE]

Didn't Hewett have covid during his draft year?

Yep. Wouldn't be alone in that regard, though. Almost seemed weird how much they hammed that up but he does talk about it himself in some interviews around how it was compounded by other things and knocked him around.
