Player Watch #31: Josh Goater - re-signed until the end of 2025 - ruptured Achilles injury vs GWS

[ferball]

Is he the only other one you know of?

Bergman

Harvey and arch as well. Maybe Bailey Scott.

 

[Harris 10]

Absolutely shattered for Goater.

If you're not including the father-sons in the BFNAAK list you can't include them in the didn't BFNAAK list lmao. There's 4 BFNAAKs, 4 father-sons (McDonald, Scott, Archer, Harvey) and 37 other players on the list. That's 9% of the list if you don't include the father-sons, and 17% of them if you do. They're not under-represented when you consider the size of our supporter base.

True, I should have said out of 41. Still not many though.

We need to have some ritual to rid us of this Carey curse. Ever since that fateful time we have forever had issues , Josh’s long term injury can just be added to the long list. Hoping for a speedy recovery. What’s the best case for these injuries. If everything goes well could he do a full pre season ?

Should be back in full training start of Jan. .

Really feel for the young bloke. Was progressing really well and this is a horrible outcome.

Its a brutal game, with already quite a few season ending injuries across the competition. Awful to see anyone go down with an ACL and of course in Josh's case a ruptured Achilles.

So sad. Like they've been shot in the leg.

Jenna was the most recent one for us.

I was thinking more this

I hope Goat manages to get onto the guru who rehabbed Melbourne United basketballers Jack White and Ariel Hukporti’s full Achilles ruptures. After a year off the court both returned with more explosive athleticism than they already possessed in abundance prior to the ruptures.

Get well Goat!

Exactly what I was gonna say. You wouldn't notice any difference in White and Hukporti. Goat can come back strongly.

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

Who are some more recent Achilles ruptures in the AFL that have come back and played with no complications?

 

[Chadwiko]

Young stars who rupture their achilles should be exempt from all PED rules during their rehab.

Pump them with whatever fancy drugs and substances they need to recover.

It's such a bloody cruel and unfair injury.

Stem cells too. Don't even think they're illegal anyway, my mind boggles at why they're not used more often. Aaron Rodgers came back after an Achilles rapture in 11 weeks due to stem cells.

Jarryd Roughead came back okay

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Absolutely shattering.

I’m at peace with the fact that we will never get to see our elite prospects get a free run at it.

 

[Lomas]

True, I should have said out of 41. Still not many though.

It’s statistically quite high. Even if there were only 12 teams it would be high, and that is not even taking into account supporter bases.

 

[The hands of stone]

Jarryd Roughead came back okay

I come in peace . Was popping in to wish the kid well , was terrible to watch .

In regards to Rough . He did . But he lost a bit of his leap and also his speed off the mark ( was deceptively quick early days ). And he was on train tracks after it
It took around 18-24 months for him to really get back close to full form.

Josh has time , good luck

 

[CURVE]

It might be statistically high (for NMFC) but numerically it's still not many. And that was initial thought.

 

[Roo096]

Has there been any word that it's fully ruptured hopefully just a tear

 

[Chadwiko]

Aaron Rodgers came back after an Achilles rapture in 11 weeks due to stem cells.

Nah Rodgers didn't actually come back yet. Everyone across the NFL thinks he was full of shit and was lying about being recovered lol.

Rodgers is a very weird unit.

 

[Lomas]

I think we will need to agree to disagree.
Let’s hope Goater gets back sooner than expected.

I'm down for this for any long term injury tbh.
