Injury 2018 Blue Healers Medical Room - HBF - fainthearted 1-2 weeks

[TooBlue14]

Not liking the rumour about Lang fracturing his ankle. If so and it’s his left again it does not look good for his future. Broken his left leg multiple times. Dislocated his ankle as well. This could (if true) be an indication of a recurring issue plus a reason behind him coming so cheap.

Didnt realise he has broken his leg multiple times Lousy start to his Carlton career if he has fractured his ankle.

Played in Geelong's finals last season, so it's not as if they were unloading a player who wasn't getting games due to some secret chronic injury.

They might not of had a choice. Options were thin and they might of took a risk. I’m just speculating. Club clearly hasn’t confirmed any injuries at the moment. But if we do have docherty, McKay, SPS, Kennedy and Lang under a cloud it seems very unlucky and unfair. I’m sick to death of seasons being undone by injury. I’d love a Richmond like year where we can play nearly the whole season with the same side.

where'd that clown go?

Same...we seem to do pretty poorly on the injury front in recent memory.

I'd really love to see what our team could do in a year with next to no injuries like Richmond last year.

They rotate their workloads through the pre-season, and at any given skills/match sim session you can have match fit players on a modified program.

It's hard to read into without actually being there. It sounds like only SPS, Rowe, ASOS and McKay were actually held out for rehab/light duties and the other two were having a rest.

This is Lang two weeks ago:

Now maybe something's happened, maybe something hasn't. What we do know is he had an injury mid-season last year, likely had a clean up operation in the off-season and probably has to have his program slightly modified to cope with the recovery from that.

And again: all of that being said, all players are rotated in the pre-season, but especially those with long-standing injuries/issues, and draftees.

The last 3 years he's almost always been best 22 for Geelong when he's fit. Only played 8 last year because of the leg, 13 the year before because of other injuries, 20 games in 2015.

I wouldn't be surprised if him and Samo just pulled up a bit sore and were rested rather than pushing through match simulation if not feeling 95-100%.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Lang’s fine.

 

[Blueboys7]

Lang’s fine.

Confirmed?

 

[AceAndy]

Lang’s fine.

Confirmed?

Judging from the emoji I am guessing Robbo is a hoping and a praying that Lang is fine.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Did Lang have a rod inserted or metal plate attached to his broken ankle? They can play up and cause problems.

Lang sprained ankle--couple weeks out

"The 22-year-old has been on crutches after stretching the ligaments in his ankle and did not take part in a scratch match at training on Wednesday"

[TooBlue14]

Take it or leave it but Brett temple just informed the Carlton fc supporters page on Facebook that Lang (in doubt for Rd 1) has done his ankle. The others mentioned above are fine.

I'm sorry... were there any other types of note?

Apparently they use rolled up notes on the Gold Coast.

Can always just cut the toe off and install a prosthetic. Wouldn't be too much of a big deal, surely

We can rebuild him.
We have the technology.
We can make him better than he was.

I'll take that year in 2021 - 2022 please. Just think of injuries giving someone else a chance to shine.

Apparently just a strain.

The Blues remain hopeful be available for round one but are taking a cautious approach to his recovery to ensure he has no hiccups once he returns.

They are also keen to avoid setting any timeline for Lang's return to ensure he is not put under any pressure to return.

Jim goes whack!

Jim goes whack!

....FYI, there are different levels of strains. One being an avulsion fracture.

 

[thylacine60]

all I asked was how you heard - if you can't say - don't say - this cat-shagging around secrecy drives me nuts and doesn't do your rep any good at all

I've always wondered why footy surgery isn't organised for all our players when they join. Glad he's finally having it though.
