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

[Bluella]

Effing shoot me. This season.

 

[Coona Blues]

According to Bolton's press conference:

Phillips: hamstring
Weitering: calf (wtf? physios were assessing his left rotator cuff muscles...)
Marchbank: potentially abnormally fast heart rhythm (tachycardia), sent to hospital (wtf?)

Probably a bit of heat stress, mid 20's, but abnormally high humidity which can knock the crap out of you.
You Vics aren't used to it, and Marchy wouldn't be match fit to exacerbate. (this is my hope anyway)

 

[ShanDog]

Unreal.

Whole team looked like they were running in treacle after quarter time.

 

[The Bighouse]

Marchbank: potentially abnormally fast heart rhythm (tachycardia), sent to hospital (wtf?)

Thought the same re: Weiters, must have been the other (upper) calf..?

Hammy for Sauce again, missed previously with the same. Another maybe not built for the rigours of AFL (even though a ripped unit).

O'Meara must be relieved he never considered Carlton as a destination. Had he come here he'd be a double amputee by now, courtesy of our medical team.

But would still get selected....

 

[Tushay]

So true. But the medical team can't be blamed if their carrier pigeon doesn't make it to the match committee meeting.

 

[Chookie]

Hope that Marchbank is okay, elevated heart rate and gone to hospital. Hopefully just heat stress or something similar.

We’re not having a lot of luck are we.

 

[therubbernub]

Pretty much what I thought and a few others on here ….. you can't manage to be competitive for a season with 25% of your playing list out at any one time ….. the comp is just too tight with tolerances now.

Thanks for sharing IM29 … value your input here hugely.

I have always said that luck plays a big part in winning a premiership. Luck with injuries becomes ever more important as the competition becomes ever more even

At this point you can only laugh.

Sos spiked the oranges. Guy will do anything.....

Someone will be out next week with smallpox or leprosy. Why can't we get higher quality leeches to help our players?

bubonic plague or gtfo

The injury reports contain a lot of BS.

 

[Bluella]

The injury reports contain a lot of BS.

Bloom Syndrome, too?? FFS.

More likely the caffeine water the trainers give them. He might have to go cold turkey on that stuff.

 

[2blue4u]

Marchbank will play this week. All good to go.

I'd be resting him another week. Or maybe the club could update us properly as to the condition and the risk. I don't trust our doctors anymore.

Was told the humidity and lack of match fitness was the cause but that boils down to exactly what you just said. But apparently he is right to go other than match fitness of course. And totally agree our medicos/selection committee have been woeful.

Was Weitering sore with a calf/shoulder/both?

 

[mjtim1]

Was Weitering sore with a calf/shoulder/both?

Weiters comes off ground:
"Doc I feel pain in my right calf, could be just a cramp..."

Doc to weiters " no problems, lets check it out. Can you lift you left arm for me?"

Just about sums it up.

Not sure on Weiters mate sorry.
