Injury 2024 Injury Thread

[Joose]

Dunno about the msd.

We have got 3 young tall defenders in Murphy, Draper and Davies. Plus Chapman to return.
Lets just develop them.
My pref would be for Draper to come in for Omac. He is raw but a real nice mover.

 

[ROGS]

Draper would be ahead of Davies, surely. With hopefully Chapman and McDonald to return in a couple of months.

Draper is bigger size body at the moment but both boys are still developing

This fits the mechanism best, but grade 2 ACL (“partial tear”) is really uncommon, so won’t be surprised if they repeat MRI in a few days once swelling has settled.

Sounds like TBA

PLC injury with partial ACL tear is what I was told. Timeline obviously depending on whatever happens with the surgeon.

Think our absolute best case scenario is however long Lobb was out for after hurting his ACL in preseason against the Eagles years ago.

4-6 weeks?

'look if you stay at freo you'll have to wait for one of two very injury prone players to go down to play, what are the chances of that happening?'

As a family friend of Hamling I can %100 confirm Colon convinced him to walk from Freo.

Bloke is walking cancer but Hamling should've known better.

It's very rarely injured on its own through that mechanism. Typically if your PCL goes in hyperextension your ACL or another ligament goes too.

Sounds like there is a strain of both

 

[Taylor]

With a mangling of your meniscus

 

[yakamoto]

We’ll know a bit more tomorrow when the injury list comes out. I expect both to be TBA.
I note that Freddy only had 65% Tog. Being managed? Hopefully just precautionary.

Mitch Lewis at the Hawks did a grade 2 iirc about 2 years ago with similar mechanism, albeit it wasn’t as ugly

 

[Ragtooth]

On a positive note he will be able to spend more time with his pregnant partner which could be great for both of them. If we make finals we'll see him again!

When are they due? It is a positive spin!

She’s due in a week.

Yeah I’m sure we’ll get a better timeline once both have had their surgeries.

 

[Paracleet]

Alliteration in the the injury thread? Oh you better believe that's a paddlin'

 

[Taylor]

Does anyone have any experience with those heat/cold treatments on a loose ACL to tighten them up?

Lax ACL treatment to shorten/tighten

 

[s_wd6]

She’s due in a week.

That’s definitely a silver lining then. Don’t have to worry about travelling interstate and the Adelaide hub in a couple weeks.

Hopefully she is a little late to give his hammy time to heal post opso he can help with the baby duties.

 

[The Feeder Club]

Hopefully the baby gets mum's hamstring genes

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I'm feeling optimistic on Omac. Hopefully back within 6 weeks and Draper can get some games while Ryan holds the KPD fort till then.

JL hinted at flexible players in the AFL360 interview as well

how far off is Chapman?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

how far off is Chapman?

The man himself believes he's back for Easter weekend

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Don't

Too late

vibes from s_wd6 and the knee will be like a fire cracker in a tissue box.

 

[Ragtooth]

She’s due in a week.

That's actually epic!!! Those first few months are killer! Perfect opportunity for partner support and 1st time dad adjustment, it can be rough. Small win for him.
