Injury 2024 Crows Injury Update

[StonesThrow]

Ankle. Back soon.

This is way too specific

 

[50BC]

Do we actually have an injury update? What's up with Soligo?

No details have been given, reading between the lines I'd guess a moderate (grade 2) sprain.

Edit: which I should add would mean approx 4 to 6 weeks from date of original injury which I think was 31 Jan

Injury report put out by Burgo on the 5th suggests no structural damage and he's been training indoors on the bike. Will be running this week and will make an assessment on when he returns to main group

no news is bad news.

" no structural damage" doesn't say much but That would be broadly consistent, no evidence he was running on Friday as he didn't appear outside . If he starts gentle running from Monday I'd guess couple more weeks from there to fully rejoin all training.

Young midfielder Jake Soligo is back at training, but is also a doubt to feature in the hitout after he suffered an ankle injury just under two weeks ago.

Edit : got it thanks

How does wearing goggles help protect something at the back of your eye? Its not like people were poking their finger through his eye and scratching the retina off the back were they?

Anyone explain this further?

You’d want to protect the area of injury/surgical wounds. If the front of the eye is disturbed, then the back will be rattled too.

 

[MsTopG]

This is way too specific

4 and 1/2 weeks until our first game. Shouid be fine for round 1.

 

[MsTopG]

I hope he wears some kind of eye protection when/if he resumes.

Seriously, the rest of his career is not worth compromising his eyesight.

I dont see the point of him running around in the sanfl all year in googles. They should pay him out of his deal as he isnt gonna be helping us in 2024. Who would have thought that he would turn his ending into a painful experience. The bloke is selfish af.

Such a bad take in that last sentence. The guy’s bled more body parts for the club than just about any player in the history of the VFL/AFL, and you want to label him as being selfish?
In the least, he’d still be a useful SANFL leader or a sub for the AFL team IMO.

Injury Update: Riley Thilthorpe

The forward suffered the injury during Saturday’s pre-season win

Meniscus injury for RT. Could have been worse, but will miss the start of the season.

 

[MrBarry]

Not ideal but it's probably the one position we can cover from a forward line perspective for the time being.

 

[Trigger13]

Not good at all. If not treated properly Meniscus tears can increase risk of future ACL tears. I can see the club being conservative and he misses a fair chunk of the season. Best case is it’s on the minor end and he’s back around rounds 4-6. Bloody hate it when seasons start like this.

Disaster. To make progress this year we need a lot to go right.

Not so much the second ruck aspect though. EH or Burgess I suppose. Will be good to see Burgess at the highest level for a patch of games.

I wouldn't say "disaster", not great and it could have been worse.

 

[119others]

Wow, that’s so disappointing as from all accounts was going to be his breakout year. Rounds 7-12 much harder than 1-6 also if he only returns then.

Not sure he is as easy to replace as Fog or Walker who are similar. Structurally we need a bomb it long tall and secondary chop out ruck. H/berg isn’t up to it but now likely to come in? Or Burgess perhaps who also can provide rucking relief IIRC

Weird that Burgess GCS photo has him in his crows outfit??!

 

[Cryptic56]

Pretty disappointing but could have been much worse. He should be back early in the season. If all goes well, hopefully around Round 3, Worst case, around round 8, but hopefully sooner.

 

[betterthanu]

Burgess recruitment looking a very smart call right about now

 

[Golumless]

That injury is a bit of a bummer, but we should have the depth to cover it.

My fingers are crossed it's a 3-6 week one and not 12.

 

[Ham]

Hope he maintains the confidence when he’s back

C7 news using the words "out indefinite period" and "visiting a specialist" seem worrying for RT.

 

[Crowstar]

Torn meniscus is usually 4-6 weeks based on previous players. Not the end of the world but clearly not ideal either.

I wouldn’t worry about media terminology. This is how they chose to describe Zak Butters’ rolled ankle (which he shouldn’t miss any games for)

 

[50BC]

Torn meniscus is usually 4-6 weeks based on previous players. Not the end of the world but clearly not ideal either.

Can be anything from 1 month to 6 month depending on extent of meniscal tear and how they decide to treat it. I'd suggest the tear is large enough for him to see a surgeon based on the statement. So a repair is prob 4 to 6 months, or they just remove the meniscus and its only 4 to 6 weeks but thats guaranteed to lead to problems later
