Injury 2024 Injury Thread

[BeinPurplenGreen]

sad for Wagner but wonder if that pushes momentum for the Cooper to HF, Swit to HB switch with Walker a bit underdone and Chappy down and then winging it anyway?

I think Chappy is out with an injury too? Another 4 weeks?
Also I don't think we can afford to lose Switta's drive at half forward / midfield.

Plus you know this just means the return to round 1 for yet another year for old mate Ethan Whughesie

probs. just not sure that work up forward isn't replaceable and the other skills aren't useful elsewhere. 0.6 goals/game with highest score 2 goals in 68 games, 0.66 in goal assists, 0.54 marks inside 50/game, 2.65 Inside 50s. No forward-specific category stands out as elite except maybe tackling but if your specialty in the forward line is largely tackling, then we are down a scoring forward.

BUT, his super speed, high footy IQ, good assessment of risk, solid kick, and great pressure and high tackle numbers 4.1/game could be quite useful lining up on a small crafty forward and then choosing good options through kick or run to rebound from 50?

Alternative to Hughes, and gets Cooper in (winning)

With recent developments I don't think it's a bad thing for concussions to be listed as TBA tbh.

I'd rather TBA than the BS we pulled with Bennell a few years ago. If you don't know don't lie.

Brings back bad memories that one ! That went on and on and on...

Longest injury list at the start of the season... After a 2 year hiatus, normality has returned.

Yeah, as others have said, this is bs. We're missing two B22 players.
Kuek and Corbett don't count and neither do the tests.

Also I wouldn’t expect NOD to be on the list too long. They drained his knee, which the media reported as surgery. More a minor procedure if that. I had a heap of fluid and blood drained from my elbow and I called it a procedure and my wife told me to get a grip. NOD will be right pretty soon I reckon. They have listed TBC but it is a bit of unknown.

Outside of those two there’s one player not due back in under a month too.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see both TBAs available by round three too. Would be surprised to see Frederick or Cox not play this week - they’ll probably give Murphy another week rather than play him in a pointless WAFL pre season game too I reckon.

Freddy does worry me, how many times over the past couple years has he played and been hampered or played and reinjured

He seems to be a player that drops down a level when playing hampered

He relies heavily on his athletic abilities. Wouldn’t be signing him to a long term contract that’s for sure. Will most likely be washed at 30.

Depends what’s causing the fluid build up doesn’t it.

 

[G Mus]

Yes it was similar, but slightly more complex than a blood clot

Because he's a fringe player I don't think necessarily the injury severity is being reported accurately.

Similar to his brothers concussion issues.

 

[FreoGirl]

bummed about Jaegar

 

[wakojako]

What do we think the Cox injury looked like? Looked like right knee but idk much about knee injuries.

 

[pK75]

What do we think the Cox injury is?

10 week hammy by the looks of it. Maybe I’m being pessimistic but I think we’ll get McDonald back before Cox.

 

[Joao]

What do we think the Cox injury looked like,?

High grade hamstring, 6-10.

Faaaarrrrk

Just out of curiosity why do we think that?

 

[Joao]

I'm no physio/doctor or anything, but it looked like he was holding quite high which is bad I think. I haven't watched the replay maybe I am wrong (fingers crossed).

 

[Spirit Level]

Nothing like injuries to dampen a win

 

[pK75]

Just out of curiosity why do we think that?

Holding it very high and was in the ground for a very long time. Looked bad on the replays.

 

[wakojako]

What about the McDonald injury? I didn't really see what happened.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Just gotta hope he avoids surgery really.

But doesn't look great.

 

[s_wd6]

What about the McDonald injury? I didn't really see what happened.

Hyper extended his knee. Looked to be more mobile than Cox but mechanism of injury could be ACL.

 

[GingerDocker]

Might even be a tendon associated with Coxy’s injury
