Injury 2024 Injury Thread

[doppo]

Surprising that Darcy and JT listed as tests with most here on BF absolutely certain they won't play. Weird. Also silly how Sonny is listed as a test with Merriman declaring 'he's available this week.' If you're available wouldn't that mean you're off the injury list?

It’s silly but there’s
1) Genuine test ie player uncertain but might be available, needs to get through training
2) available but test ie Sonny this week, needs to get through training too but expected to be available, and
3) test but no chance - a freo staple, seemingly for the sake of confusing opposition and freo supporters

JL didn't hide it very well in the 7news interview tonight

Treacy won't play (as most on here suggest)


Moose no chance til finals too (as we already knew)

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

Why wait till next year? Its bullshit.
If you've got the chance to pay AFL Finals, you play.
O'meara has played 1 final in his whole career. He's played 183 games, and first played in 2012.
We made the GF next year, never been since.
No guarantee we are in this possie next year

If we aren't locked in the top four this time next year the rebuild has absolutely failed and we'll be looking for a new coach.

No doubt

 

[MadMundy]

The team has the talent to make a Grand Final in my opinion, I don't think anyone can discredit that, get them on the park and get them firing and they'll do it.

 

[freodog]

Treacy will play as soon as he’s mostly right. He can spend whatever time he needs after the season to rest and recover.

Not if he's going to do more damage by playing. Also if he's in pain with every stride he won't be very effective.

Josh Tracey out again this week ........ not looking good for our season

Has this been confirmed by the club? Have they said what the injury is yet?

Just JL saying he’s more unlikely than likely. It was a reported as a minor PCL (no tearing/structural damage)

No Treacy - no Freo. He is the one player we have no replacement for.

If Jackson could get back to last years form it'd help a fair bit

 

[Taylor]

We just need someone taking a mark between the arcs. That can be Darcy and Jackson. It just hasn't been.

 

[pK75]

Jackson can only help replace Treacy if he’s playing forward, not #1 ruck.

If we make the eight next year JL won’t be sacked.

It never happens league wide. It’s why someone like Ken Hinkley has lasted so long when Port Adelaide sucks in finals every single year.

Darcy looked anything but ready to play AFL footy on the news tonight.
**** that dude could do with some conditioning

 

[Vintage]

Not if he's going to do more damage by playing. Also if he's in pain with every stride he won't be very effective.

in which case he wouldn’t be mostly right to play, and therefore wouldn’t play.

Not allowed to mention the body fould test anymore, for a professional athlete on say $900k PA it doesnt cut the mustard
Trade him to the Cats and groom Knobel

This post is disturbing on multiple levels.

The grooming or the foulding?

Primary ruckman, best keyforward, arguable best keydefender. We had and still have a pretty healthy list in 2024. But those are probably the worst three to have under an injury cloud at this stage of the season...

 

[apuchar]

I'm not sure about that. Sturt has spent six weeks in the team with a sore knee. He was limping heavily in a half time cross to the rooms in a recent match.

 

[doppo]

Not sure which thread to post this but Jye (as usual) looks banged up in the training photos. I hope he’s keeping a mental journal of all these teams / defenders that rough him up for when he bulks up and turns into the Incredible Hulk.

 

[G Mus]

We made Darcy carry that knee all season and it looks like it was probably a mistake, book him in for that oats now and call it so he can have as much preseason as possible

 

[blue shark]

You’d better hope that Knobel stays then, and he gets a debut to see if he can
Play at the level required.
He is as close to a Lobb clone you can get.
Jackson is better suited as a utility, when was the last time Darcy was consistently
taking contested marks?

Stats for rucks

2024 Total Marks Averages: 11th Luke Jackson, 34th Sean Darcy
2024 Contested Marks Averages: 11th Luke Jackson, 15th Sean Darcy (best 3: Darcy Cameron, Gawn, Cox)

2023 Total Marks Averages: 11th Sean Darcy, 12th Luke Jackson
2023 Contested Marks Average: 4th Sean Darcy, 11th Luke Jackson

Now just imagine if Darcy didn't fall off this season compared to last.
