Injury 2024 Injury Thread

[Fat Nyfe]

That is a real shame but there is still a lot of time until finals for Pearce, and Draper can step up.
I’m sure Cox/Ryan/Draper can handle this.

 

[Joao]

At least Draper has had exposure. Fresh off a rest too.

So I'm guessing "new fracture" = the bone fracturing along the edge of the plate, meaning it had nothing to do with him playing too soon, but rather because they opted for a plate in the first place. I'd wondered/worried that something like this might happen, recalling that the same thing happened with Fyfe's leg.

Will they look to remove the plate and hope for fully knitted bone by finals?

Ive got confidence that our game plan is solid enough to cope with a few injuries now

Radial #'s generally would be around 12 weeks healing with standard POP.
There should be some decent callus formation at 6-8 weeks, but may not hold up to AFL sport.

I guess Draper has a good opportunity to be nominated for Rising Star

so disappointed we are going on this journey without Pearce

 

[Taylor]

Plate the whole thing

He may be back if they do a repeat ORIF

I also hope we at least consider trialling Jackson down back or training him for it.

Let the unicorn be a unicorn.

Plate the whole thing

Just replace the whole radius maybe?

 

[kingswood71]

Plate the whole thing

Given his history of fractures, plate every bone now....

Try and get the humerus at the same time, then those cheeky elbows in the contest will have some real sting to them.

 

[StingBitten]

Same bone or different one?

Same.

I was going to say, dude needs an adamantium skeleton

 

[Firesharter]

At least the other top four teams have their own injury concerns

Jones plays on the wing now. Wright has been dropped. Their "tall" forwards are Langford, Caddy and Stringer (plus maybe a resting ruck). Strange setup with 200cm wingmen and 192cm KPF.

I don't mind it from their POV. They have a dearth of top end talent and seemingly an onfield leadership vacuum so they need a POD.

Heck, go the bloody diameter

Hmm, maybe I'm thinking of something else

Fracture healing is usually around 6 weeks.

So with the pre finals bye that works out well.

Hopefully Draper can stand up like against the Swans over the next month to help us hold on to top 4.

I'm a Draper Believer

 

[Docker82]

Send him straight to Darling this weekend to build up his confidence

Nah - Draper is playing AFL not WAFL this weekend

Curnow and Mackay in a potential final is the one that scares me.

Shocking luck for AP. He has been in AA form and frankly inspirational as a leader at times this year. Who can forget that moment against Collingwood. Spine tingling stuff. I’m cutting up onions just thinking about it.

Get well soon, Skip.
