Fresh Blues injury concern for pivotal Saints clash
The length of Carlton's injury list remains a huge concern ahead of its crucial game against St Kilda
www.afl.com.au
Carlton is hopeful of regaining Adam Saad
Jack Martin's hamstring injury is also believed to be minor
Curnow (ankle) and Harry McKay (quad) are also said to be 50-50 chances
Orazio Fantasia trained fully last Wednesday but ultimately wasn't cleared to play.
Caleb Marchbank is also expected to be available for selection this weekend.
Looks like a recipe for another couple of 'in-game' soft tissue breakdowns.Fresh Blues injury concern for pivotal Saints clash

Yep. Extremely uncomfortable with this
Saad does his second Hammy this year and is expected to be back in 2 weeks?
Harry a calf and only needs a week off?
Charlie been hampered for weeks and makes it worse and a week off fixes it?
Since when does Martin have a "minor" soft tissue injury
If they are 50/50 as reported and need until the weekend to prove themselves then don't pick them. If good enough we should win anyway
Get through to finals, they get an extra fortnight's rest and then should be fine and freshened up

This is all assuming our high performance team have even the slightest clue what they're doing... We've had more Hammies this year than wins, thank god Cook has moved them on
Strains are different to tears
The issue is we lose this and highly likely we don't make the 8. Club is under pressure. Repeat soft tissue injuries are a joke to be honest and clearly the worst in the comp.

It's quite the conundrum for the club.
We are better with Curnow, Saad and McKay in the side (notwithstanding the terrible way we use them). We have a must win game against St Kilda. Win that and we have a 2 week break to get back to something approaching full strength for the elimination final. If we don't play those 50/50 guys and lose, we don't get to see them at all for the rest of the year.
If we play them and lose, they'll be fine for next year even if they get injured again. Play them, they get injured and we win, we go into the finals understrength.
It's pick your poison for the club.

Agreed, only play those that are 100% fit.
We've seen what happened when the bench was full of injured players

Id rather risk missing finals than risk seriously reinjuring them and jeopardizing 2025. 2024 has been a total shit show on the back of AR's never ending rehab clinic, just get everyone right, make some astute list moves in the off season and load up for a flag in 2025

Another 2 who are perennially injured...
Cuningham, Marchbank, Martin, Williams, McGovern, Cerra...
What a team we'd be if they could all remain fit...
Need to really getting rid of these blokes this off season. Cerra's contract will save him... maybe Williams in the same boat.
Gov is really becoming a big concern for me too.
Cerra was top 5 in the B&F last year. He has earned a bit of time, sometimes players just have years from hell. Hopefully a new performance team will get him back on track.
Cuningham, Marchbank, and Martin however they need to get a plan to Centrelink ready.
Russell hasn’t left us much choice.
He should be arrested and charged with treason !!
Give Walsh the 2 week break as well.
The poor bugger looks so bloody sore …
By the same token these guys have had 14 days recovery.
That’s how I look at it.
Just sayin’

Cotton wool anyone with a doubt. Saad, Zac or Gov tears their hammy and it could be career threatening. If we were good enough to win this week, we're good enough to beat the Saints.
Which for Hamstrings, Calves and ligaments isn't a lot and is risky.
Miss this week and they will effectively have a month off to be ready. I reckon that is a major difference

I don’t have the answers to this conundrum.
But I see it this way. The purpose of what the team are putting together is to compete for a premiership not just to play finals. Select the best and least risky option for this week (and that may include picking a player at 80-90% but not likely to inflame a niggle), but with the principal view to have as healthy a squad as possible for week one in finals and having a genuinely competitive team for the month of finals.

Quads are notoriously difficult, just ask Jordan Ridley.
There is no way, with the discomfort H showed, he’ll be right to go in 2 weeks

As a supporter, under no circumstances should we be risking the 50/50’s unless we’re in a prelim. The likelihood these players even make it through the game is almost zero given their history. Replace McGovern and Williams if they don’t get up and let the team who played in our second win in 8(?) games compete for the win.
But knowing the absolute savaging the club will get if we miss finals, I believe we’ll be sending out any/all of the big guns if they can take a single step without collapsing.

Maybe no injury to report for Williams? Hard to say what happened. I thought it was a kidney knock on first look.
