Injury 2023 injury thread

[dont stop me meow]

Any chance that Oscar Murdoch could debut early due the injuries to our defenders?

Or Ted Clohesy?

 

[fpm84]

Could have been a lot worse as both looked like long-term injuries to me on Friday night.

Stewart has been ruled out of Thursday night's blockbuster against Carlton at the MCG and is expected to miss up to a month.

Young gun Sam De Koning has been cleared of damage to his knee after a nasty incident in round one where he departed the game in the second quarter after his knee buckled beneath him while he ran backwards.

The 22-year-old is expected to face the Blues in round two in a big boost against a side containing the past two Coleman Medallists in Charlie Curnow

Huge results. During the game I was more worried at the potential for one or both of these to be season-long outcomes than I was the result of the match. Sure we're having a bumpy start health-wise to start the season (particularly with our defenders) but better than this happening right before finals.

 

[goyoucatters]

James Willis and Phoenix Foster both captured in the pics from the main training session for this week.

So hopefully they could be out there with the Bankers quite soon.

I wonder if maybe the fitness experts in AFL clubs are slowly reaching the limits of human physiology? I can't remember the last time so many players were injured in the first round. I wonder if pre-season is just more and more amped each season to get players as fit as possible? The increased strength/fitness might be leading to more injuries? Not sure how else you account for it, other than surface quality (which has admittedly been shit)

Not sure but we have some contact and surface injures
Simpson - Concussion
Kolo - Concussion
Jack - foot stepped on
Stewy - NCL from a turf give way
SDK - Turf monster
Stengle - nearly beheaded by Howe

So if that list coms under the limits of human endurance, then ok but i reckon one could argue its external factors

Stengle's leg injury was also caused by the turf slippage, before the Collingwood player fell on it.

Simpson concussion again?

Or is this about last year?

His preseason hold back was concussion and last I heard he got a shoulder stinger in teh VFL praccy or one of them - but i thought his olny hold back was still concussion - happy to be corrected.

I think simpson is now fully available. Didn’t look completely back to fitness in vfl (stinger looked ok). But I think the only think holding him back now is no spots available (for him or Dempsey who look to be fighting for any spot in the forward line)

I still think he just needs 5 or 6 games straight in the VFL, has not played much after the 20 gf

Any news on Flynn Kroeger? Injured for 2 years?

Rightio. Book that kid in to come out this week.

Thankfully the suns have a shocking backline , it’s their midfield that worries me this week

Rightio. Book that kid in to come out this week.

SUPERSTAR forward Jeremy Cameron is under an injury cloud ahead of Geelong’s round 3 clash with Gold Coast after copping a brutal knock in Thursday night’s loss.

Better for it to happen now than before finals should we make it that far

Not the worst injury report we've faced, Kolo likely to play, Duncan and Stewart getting closer, and Mena/Henry supposedly progressing strongly as well.

Mostly excited to hear that Toby is back running again, though. Would be great to see him back out there after a good block of training in the next month or so.

There’s also encouraging news on developing ruckman Toby Conway.

“Toby some time ago had a navicular stress reaction in his foot,” he said. “He has done a huge amount of stair work to strengthen his foot and he's now two weeks running so in the short term he'll start to be introduced to training loads with footballs. Toby's a very important part of our future and it's going to be great to see him back out on the training track”.

Surely all of us have learned to scale back our expectations of what constitutes 'injury news' when it comes to this club. All four are probably only slightly more likely to play this week than they are to miss the next fortnight of football completely.

And no news on Willis or Kroeger.

Willis is at least out on the track. That info was accidentally divulged by the club in a pic from main training last week.

The cone of silence on Kroeger remains 'impressively intact', though.
