Rioli at 2-3 weeks includes the bye. So it might only be 1 game.

It’s also nice to see Port get a proper 2 weeks off. Playing Thursday and then Sunday evening post the bye. Normally it’s the other way around and a 14 day break becomes a little over a week.

A win leading into the break would make such a difference for the 2nd half of the season.

Your non belief in a club you 'support' is astounding. Absolutely no reason we shouldn't beat Carlton. I bet your response will be something along the lines of 'we won't win anything with Hinkley' but try keep the faith. Through thick and thin you should be supporting not bagging the team you go for.

It's just his shtick to continuously post crap like that so people give him likes which encourages more crap posting.

Injury report: Rozee to be assessed, Rioli sidelined

Captain Connor Rozee will be assessed this week after rolling his ankle in Round 11.

www.portadelaidefc.com.au

Rozee rolled his ankle inside the first few seconds of Saturday’s game against North Melbourne, with scans confirming a sprain.

Hugh Jackson will begin integrating into training drills this week.

Injury list
Connor Rozee (ankle) - test
Willie Rioli (calf) - 2-3 weeks
Hugh Jackson (hip) - 2-4 weeks
Lachie Charleson (knee) - 3-5 weeks
Josh Sinn (collarbone) - 5 weeks
Sam Powell-Pepper (knee) - season

So Rioli injured his calf in 18mins on ground where he didn't even touch the ball?

Sounds to me like he was carrying an injury going into the game, but we wouldn't have played an injured player would we? Surely not.

Would it?
It hasn't in the past

Don't worry m8, maybe one day you'll post something that someone else likes.

They were loathe to totally rule him out of contention for selection.

Don't think there's any point in doing so aside from for the mid-season draft I believe.

Listening to Ken. If Rozee plays what's the bet he has a numb foot and can't kick properly.

Narr. His foot has been amputated.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Rozees funeral is planned for Friday, so there is a chance his corpse can be deployed on thursday.

From yesterday's Age. Throw in players getting suspended for actions that are near impossible to avoid or split second decisions to protect themselves first and lots of players have missed games this year.

Inside the AFL’s growing injury toll

About 150 AFL players are out injured right now. Collingwood coach Craig McRae is among many startled by the alarming number.

www.theage.com.au

AFL footy in 2024 is taking a heavy toll. Presently, there are nearly 150 players on the competition’s injury lists. Many are minor, and some are being managed – a relatively recent concept – but some won’t ever be back.

is one of many who is startled by that number. “I don’t know what’s going on here,” he said on SEN last week, “I don’t know whether there needs to be a reset. Is it a trend? Is it a pattern of behaviour? 150-odd injuries is a lot of injuries, and it’s more than we’ve seen in our time.”

One-hundred-and-fifty represents about 20 per cent of the playing population. For comparison, data kept by sports physician Dr Peter Larkins over more than 20 years as a club doctor at Geelong and Adelaide and later as a media commentator put the injury rate consistently at 14-16 per cent at any one time.
The 150 laid up now are from across all lists and include some on the fringe who will never play anyway. But when refined, the picture is no less grim. Champion Data’s records show that the nominal best 22 at each club have missed a total of 776 games between them so far this season, a manpower deficit of around 18 per cent. That’s equivalent to four first-choice players out of every side in every match of every round.

And the AFL in their usual way, say nothing to see here.[my comment]

The AFL’s data shows little change from last year to this. At this stage in 2023, it had logged 286 injuries that caused players to miss matches. This year, it is 258. Of these, a quarter is soft tissue: hamstrings, calves and quads mostly. These figures note nine ACLs, which is at variance with the club-by-club injury lists on the AFL’s own website, showing 18 season-ending knee injuries.
AFL footy boss Laura Kane said the injury toll this season was on a par with last, but the trials of some big Victorian-based clubs had highlighted it. She said the AFL’s chief medical officer Michael Makdissi would continue to work with club doctors on potential trends.

.........

West Coast illustrated this most graphically in the carnage of last year. In the first 11 rounds, nearly 40 per cent of their ideal team were unavailable, and they won only one game and would not win another until round 20. Sydney and Geelong also were hard hit in the first half of last season and neither were in the top eight.

This year, Richmond have won one out of 11, Carlton have wobbled at times before Thursday night’s rousing win in Adelaide and Collingwood, having defied gravity until now, are on the precipice. The anomaly, as ever, are St Kilda, who have an almost clean bill of health and are in a trough anyway.

Conversely, Sydney have the most players who have appeared in every game [16] and made the fewest changes and sit a game-and-a-half clear on top of the ladder. Geelong, beset last year, have taken a more conservative approach than other clubs when resting players and began this season with seven straight wins before a four-loss lull. [Port have 10 and Richmond the worst with 4]

As McRae asked, what is going on? Certainly, more concussions are being reported than previously, not because the incidence has risen, but because the obligation to report is more onerous than ever. That can only be a good thing. Moreover, concussed players are sitting out for longer, distending the figures for games missed.

As for ACLs, 18 is on the high side, but four were at one club, the Brisbane Lions, two in one game. In this, there is an element of sheer bad luck. Larkins said the range in the data he kept per year was 7-24 and the average was one per club per season.

.......... and on and on the article goes ..............

At least our injury list has been slashed in half from about 6 weeks ago. Graphic is from the club's email last Monday.

will be tested this week, after being subbed off early in the Kangaroos game with a calf strain. The small forward will integrate back into training on Wednesday to determine his fitness for selection.
