Injury 2022 Injury Updates Thread

[all seeing eye]

Well send him where Dixon went.

Possibly due to them wanting him to use the same vic based knee specialist for surgery. The same specialist who is familiar with his history of procedures and conducted the ops.

Well he hasn't done any good might be time for a fresh look at it

What's this about Hayes?

What's this about Hayes?

Sam Hayes has Achilles soreness, Trent McKenzie was training away from the group, Bergman back training but apparently he's not ready for contact training.

Turner's article in full here (including more on the leadership group and prelim fall out)

 

[Coobk001]

We managed 13 surgeries within the season last year and still made the prelim. The one thing we do well is fitness and injury management.

No, we have good depth. Our injury levels though and management has been questionable for a while. There's been continual evidence for a long time now that we cover up and/or don't disclose a lot intentionally to keep the reality of our injury status under wraps. Often for clearly zero gain, other than keeping the heat off this management.

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

It feels like he's had surgery every day for the past two months.

We can rebuild him.

The $600 dollar man.

back in November 2020......

Fantasia and Caldwell happy to be home after trades go through

Essendon traded Orazio Fantasia and pick 73 to Port Adelaide for pick 29 and a future third-round selection on Thursday, the last day of the 2020 AFL trade period.

www.theage.com.au

Fantasia told reporters on Friday that his body, which has been a problem over the last few seasons, was feeling good.

“I already feel refreshed and feel like I’m training better. This is my happy place," Fantasia said.

"I feel like being closer to them [family] will help me mentally more than being in Melbourne.

“When I am stressed, that’s when I push harder and get those little soft tissues or niggles so being home, I think will relieve that.

“There’s a direct correlation I feel with how I feel mentally and how my body is feeling, with being smarter with the training I’m doing.

“I’m in a really good position where I haven’t had any surgery. It’s probably the first time in four or five years where I haven’t had any surgery or anything like that so I can actually have a full pre-season.

“As soon as I met with all the medical staff here, I could tell they’re all on the same page and I think their injury rate is number one in the league at the moment so that’s played a big part for me.”

Yeah... nah

We're no different than any other club. Geelong lie through the teeth until their players pull out half an hour befor the match. Sydney tell you players are injured long term, don't provide updates and then they show up to way well earlier than can be expected. GWS tell everyone that players are a week away and then miss half the season.

Ask any fantasy player and they'll tell you that all clubs are terrible at being honest about injuries.

 

[Astronema]

i wonder if he has fibro or something

 

[Astronema]

I genuinely don’t understand why people get riled up about this stuff, in the end the players selected for the game is all that matters. Even if the club was blatantly mismanaging players u wouldn’t ever really know without inside information, and you would be able to do nothing about it except cry on social media which seems a waste of energy to me.

 

[Andre]

Yep.
Reckon they're in no rush to have him play from Round 1.
Obviously think they will still be around at the pointy end of the season(!!!!!) and so want him fit at that time.

So Ryder with a suspension hanging over his head, Fantasia out half the season each year, yet both paid as if no concerns to Essendon. Which injury prone player can we pay full value to them for this trade period?

 

[RossFC]

Orazio out for 10 weeks.

god his job is the best.

Never needs to train or play and gets paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to put his feet up and does it all again.

People querying why the Fantasia surgery was delayed but isn’t this his second or third knee surgery this off season?

Who cares. He's a surgeons wet dream

 

[Andre]

At least one of these multiple times he’s off for leg issues he could try actually spending some time in the gym for his upper body. He’s the build from the waist up of a 10 year old female netballer.

 

[RossFC]

Orazio now down to 8 weeks.

3 injuries to look out for.

SPP - Hammy
Rozee - Ankle management
Lycett - Ankle

Connor never seems to play fit. Another Hartlett-like career coming up.

Almost like we threw both in before we're ready and have stunted their growth.

Doesn’t sound great for Lycett from those Monty comments. Let’s hope not the dreaded syndesmosis

Glad we didn’t trade our back up ruckman for peanuts… oh wait.
