Injury 2023 injury thread

[Cataholic]

Yeah but he is a professional

Shoot. You got me there.

 

[Vdubs]

Kolo should give the game away another concussion again, both twins have had a lot,

Unless he has sequelae, and so far he doesn't, no way should he retire yet.

Mate if they footy hit him in the head he would get concussion,he gets it to easy.

Not really. He’s had genuine knocks to the head that would trouble anyone.

The club has experts in the management of concussion etc. Pretty sure they would be onto that in a flash if he was in trouble. Selwood and Bartel are ok now, and went through many head knocks.

 

[Vdubs]

If you watched the game you would have seen it, they showed replay and he was groggy, but you read match report but i go with what my eyes see

Being dazed for a few seconds after a head knock is not necessarily concussion

What’s the run down on our injury list?? Bowes?? Hawkins?? Anyone else?? Assuming kolo will be fine with concussion

ah yep forgot henry momentarily and Hawkins/duncan. Neale conway arent best 22 players so i didnt have them in mind.

He is frustratingly becoming one of those players who can't get a pre season in who ends up getting himself into the side at some point but only going along at 60-70% of potential... he should be working his way towards being an A grade defender instead of just finding a way to be adequately fit to play on the park.

Jack Henry?
His potential is massive.
Jones type fractures are a curse

Kolo if he misses round 1 should play round 2. Ditto bowes.
Duncan sounds like hes not far away and hawk is getting closer.
Its really only conway and henry that are gone long term and neales timeframe unknown. Plus the ongoing issues with menegolas knee. And kroger and willis still seem to be MIA with no update.

 

[ShaunWDT]

Bowes can't be very injured if hes been allowed to play golf with his GC mates all day long.

Go Catters

It's a mystery I tells ya, because the club doesn't even know. Scott said so......'the club is forthright with these things when it knows'.

Sounds common

 

[Jumping Jack]

Bowes is not injured - not sure where this has come from? He was rested from the Brisbane game with general soreness. I recall one of the assistants being interviewed and they said it was load managing and just making sure he's fresh for the start of the season.

Happy to be told otherwise but I think people are jumping to conclusions.

Which can cause calf soreness

Sounds common

Not really, but we've had our fair share at Geelong.
Better if they were "Zychla" fractures maybe?

 

[Willo_]

What would've been the benefit of taking Bowes to Qld that surpassed the benefit of rest?

The idea of integration and building his sense of team?

Certainly doesn't hurt the "great club to be at" talk and general mood of the group when you take someone back home to see his family and friends even if they aren't playing.

If you haven't heard anything from the club it is never good... they never ever give a clear line or updates on bad or sketchy news.. Unless like Hawk/Henry there was surgery involved and it is unavoidable.

My info was Neale was a syndesmosis injury... but no idea if that is accurate, would fit the gone quiet approach from the club

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

LLoyd with the injury updates:

• Henry as we know is medium term will start rehab in 2 weeks
• Menegola will now have surgery on his troublesome knee, pulled up sore after Hawks game. He'll be out for medium term
• Duncan is in SA doing rehab with a specialist. Is running but no time frame given on his return.
• Hawkins training freely but LLoyd said we'd always take a longer term view, which makes me think he'll miss round 1. Up to the Coaches if he plays or not.
• Conway weight bearing and is doing a lot of strengthening on his foot, no time frame given
• Neale back to main training and will ramp up over the weeks
• Kolo in concussion protocols, will be guided by the medical team.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Menners is toast hey.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Where's the news of Holmes' hammy?

 

[goyoucatters]

Where's the news of Holmes' hammy?

We'll hear about it for the first time after Round 3, with a view to him ramping up for a return in the VFL after the bye.
