Injury 2024 St.Kilda Injury information

[TheNewEnsign]

He only did his ankle in round 2.

Shows how bad my memory is - I could have sworn it was a pre-season injury but I see he did indeed play Round 1. Thanks!

Good news no keeler on the list

 

[beside the seaside]

In the last three of those Crouch has been listed as 2-3 weeks. A bit worrying.

Aside from that great news.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Allison & Clark cleared of anything serious, both could play in the vfl again this weekend. Only leaves Butler & Crouch now, unavailable for the Saints.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Did Crouch have knee issues earlier on in his career? Fingers crossed we can get him right, been a big part of the missing piece this year.

Saints are pretty fragile without crouch in the midfield. Need Dow to step up.

Very soon we will need replacements for Steele, Crouch, Membrey

Crouch hasn’t been seen in the rehab group for the past week or so.

Do you mean he's been fully training or unsighted?

Internally we possibly already have a replacement for Membrey. If the LDU rumours are true, would be good.

Crouch in most drills, ran laps with Butts during match sim.

Only players in rehab, Butts, Alison, Hotton. Hotton said wants to play this week but realistically the week after. Pretty down that he has only played 10 games since being drafted, trying to be positive saying this is the last of the injuries for him. Hope he is correct.

No Van Es and didn't see Bonner but don't know if that is an injury or not.

It's the hope that kills us all... "You mean we're injury free?" Imagine the magnets. Imagine the melts

Thanks JB for your updates, it's much appreciated from those of us that can't get to training.

What a change it is to look forward to both seniors and reserves games each week.

I'm sure we all got pings about it, but Van Es has been ruled out and placed on LTI.

Injury Update: Young defender moved to inactive list

James Van Es has been moved to the inactive list as he continues his rehabilitation from ankle surgery.

So Mid season might still be on the cards.

I hope we have the ability to extend Van Es at the end of the year. He absolutely looks the goods as a genuine key position defender and god knows we need up and comers.

Crouch being available is promising as well. Likely a VFL lineup though.

Without knowing too much about the injury you’d suspect he could’ve made it back for a few games at the end of the season and pushed his case to remain on the list.

That they have taken this approach, where he’s under no pressure during his rehab but can’t display his wares, suggests they’ve given him some assurance that he will be retained in some capacity.

That’s how I read it anyway.

We need a fit and inform Crouch badly

We need a fit and inform Crouch badly

We are now desperate for inside midfielders

 

[LennyHayes77]

Don't think van Es makes it to be honest. May have shown a bit in the few vfl games he's played but just don't think he's the type to become a pro. Reckon he'll be a good amo's player.

Injury Update: Butler back as list shrinks to two

There's more good news on the injury front as the Saints prepare to face the Demons.

If only we had this at the start of the year

We were going ok then. We've progressively got worse and worse as the injury list has shrunk. Who'd've thunk?

It actually quite bizarre when you sit back and think about it.

Yep, most aspects of the St Kida FC are quite bizarre to be fair.

 

[sasaint]

It’s going to be a very enjoyable Sandy game against the Casey Demons on Sunday with every Saints player looking to impress.

 

[StFly]

It's mental.

So consider that with the massive injury list you have a lot of unknowns and people who normally would be maybe 4th in line getting selected, you'll have an almost, clean slate to work with, then with people with an almost demand to say 'I belong here at this level" that oppositions might not be that ware of or respect.

So we then get people back, and what tends to happen is "oh, I'll just leave it to that guy" or a slight lessening of who does what, how it gets done, what you might need to work on, what your focus then becomes.. and you lose that sense of wonder, you lose that gung ho "I belong here" drive to succeed and stamp yourself on that game because you've now got jaded people going through motions who know things instead.

They'll all have the ability to succeed within them, hence being on an AFL list outside of the thousands that apply and follow the pathways, but mentally, how they view the game, how they approach the game, how they act during the game, how they get interacted with, is vastly different.

This is, to me, kind of what is meant when the coaches state that the oldies aren't setting standards and it's the young guys doing it, or admonishing the old guys, as they are there, but they are essentially half stepping as "I'll just leave it to that guy" whereas a Windy is already under that pack trying to dish it out.

 

[LennyHayes77]

Isn't it the same as last year? Started the year on fire with a huge injury list then progressively got worse as our injury list shrank. Maybe we're just selecting the wrong guys?

 

[gringo2011]

It's where the missing players are from though. Still missing mids and the ones that are in aren't performing due to lack of conditioning. Snags and Butler are a lot of our fire power and with none of the tall forwards firing we look awful. Getting the right guys back and fit will show us where we are at.
