Injury 2024 Crows Injury Update

[StonesThrow]

Not fussed with Butts
I rate the Keane, Worrell and Max combo better

Not ideal. I think Worrell can handle big forwards, but we really want him playing intercept and providing rebound. Similar with Max but on smaller forwards.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Time to start trialling Burgess as a key back

Himmelberg would be a disaster if required in that role

 

[spenze]

Is it the same eye he injured last time?

There is a Browneye joke in there but it's not the 90s

Himmelberg would be a disaster if required in that role

No idea why that wasn't the plan in the first place, isn't like we aren't flushed for tall KPFs

If we play Himmler as a KPD, we need to play Rankine as a HBF so he can crumb his dropped marks...which was why I wanted him in the midfield with Rob

 

[conVINCEd]

Absolutely got my fingers crossed that Soligo’s ankle is a minor tweak.

He looks ready to explode this season.

I guess Burgess was the best VFL key forward so I can see why they tried to play him in his best position and possibly pick up and put pressure on others

But time to bite bullet now

Adelaide Crows track watch: Jordon Butts sustains hamstring injury, Jake Soligo in moon boot as both set for scans​

Adelaide’s defensive puzzle has become a little more clouded after a hamstring injury to another key man. Plus, the latest on Jake Soligo and all the match sim intel.

Adelaide’s battle for its round 1 key defensive posts has taken another twist after a hamstring injury to Jordon Butts.
Butts pulled up clutching his right hamstring during match simulation at West Lakes on Friday, before leaving the field.
Based on initial scans, he is expected to miss the next few weeks and be sidelined for the internal trial.
The 24-year-old’s injury did not look serious when it happened.
After speaking to trainers on the sidelines, he limped up the race unassisted.
Butts is fighting for a key defensive spot in a backline that has lost Nick Murray (knee) for half the season and is without Tom Doedee, who is now at Brisbane.
Third-year midfielder Jake Soligo was set to have scans on his injured ankle late on Friday.
Soligo watched training from the sidelines wearing a moon boot, two days after trainers had to carry him off the field.

The Crows were optimistic he has avoided major damage but club doctors wanted to get it looked at now the swelling has subsided.
Half-back Wayne Milera trained indoors on Friday and expected to be overhis hamstring issue in two to three weeks.
Murray is considered ahead of schedule in his return from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
He has rejoined the main group for non-contact drills, work with the tackling coaches and running.
The 23-year-old, who was injured last July, was targeting a comeback in June.
“Everything is tracking really well,” Murray told the Crows’ website.
“It can get a bit repetitive during rehab at times, so to be able to get among the boys and have a kick, it’s been great.”
Top-10 pick Dan Curtin was with the main group early on Friday, before sitting out the match simulation to run with Murray.
Curtin is building slowly from a jarred knee and still aiming to play in the internal trial on February 16.
Match simulation featured a probables versus the rest for the most part.
The stronger blue team’s defence included Butts, Mark Keane, Max Michalanney, Brodie Smith, Mitch Hinge, Josh Worrell and Will Hamill.

Milera’s absence opened the door for Hamill to stake his claim.
The other side’s backline had Patrick Parnell, swingman Elliott Himmelberg, James Borlase, draftee Oscar Ryan and Luke Nankervis.

​

Other notable team selections included Ned McHenry and recruit Chris Burgess in the forward line for the yellow weaker line-up, while Sam Berry was on ball for that team.
Michalanney, Hinge and Berry were among those to catch the eye during the session – the first two with their rebound and delivery to the forwards.
Berry, who played 35 AFL games in 2021-22, then just four last season, impressed with his grunt work against the first-choice midfield.

“The other side’s backline had Patrick Parnell, swingman Elliott Himmelberg,”

I’m sorry….. what???..

Himm… who has never played a single game in defense at AFL level.. and I’m pretty certain hasnt shown any signs of being anything close to a defender at SANFL level either…

Is now a “swingman” according to this media report?..

Who wrote this fxxkn garbage?..

Thinking it was cramp?

The Tiser reporting is odd - saying 2/3 weeks off but it’s not clear that is actually based on hearing scan results, or just an assumption.

Injury Update: Pre-Season

The latest on Sloane, Soligo and Butts

www.afc.com.au

No structural damage for Soli, hopes to be running next week. Butts and Milera 2-3 weeks away. Sloane will gradually increase physical activity.

 

[George Kramer]

Ewwww

Haven’t watched it, read the transcript. He’s an odd unit.

 

[Alberton Proud]

Sloane will play R1.

Missed 'Lone Ranger' opportunity

 

[50BC]

Soligos ankle doesn't sound too bad at all, milera and butts 2-3 weeks away

Yeah, I was standing on the embankment near where he came off and could hear him talking to the trainer. "Saying, I think it's just a cramp,"
We haven't seen him today, so it must have been a scan to confirm it.

Update on Jordan! Turns out he's a legend of a bloke. Ran into him at the coffee shop had a chat. Said it was minor strain. He thinks he'll be back in a week. I reckon no risk, with our key defender stocks being lean with Murray, Curtin injuried.

Newsflash : the player in question to miss training was Josh Rachele..

Appeared to cop a corked quad on Monday, was strapped soon after and headed in early after the running.

He only walked laps today with a footy in hand, seemed in decent spirits and no notable limp either, if it’s anything serious I would be surprised

Am curious as to what happened with gollant though. Also only walked laps today after leaving the track very early on Monday.

Given it's his 6th eye injury & he has lost some vision, surely retirement is a strong option.

He's clutching now

 

[spenze]

He's clutching now

As much as I wanted him to retire last year, I get where he is coming from. You just want it to go on, he has probably put in a big pre season and now this has happened.

He sounds like he is at the bargaining stage
