Missed it.. what was said?

Okay the double speak of Brad Lloyd at three quarter time has me absolutely spitting chips.

Curnow has carried an injury since late last year. I believe it was on our 22nd game but could have been in the GWS game.

Charlie refuses to make excuses for it and won't accept it for why he was poor in the finals last year.

I believe that it has been the ankle all along.

It's why he has gone from a player who consistently made second and third efforts and to a player who makes one effort and is incapable of making consecutive efforts. It's also why he leads with so many one sided efforts and has protected the one side.

Seriously this football club is ****ed.

Its been obvious all year.

Shocking if it's that bad.

That's absolute rubbish. So easy to make these simplistic excuses. Charlie injured his ankle last week

Brad Lloyd's own comments st 3/4 time prove this is not true.

 

[AT97]

I was told the ankle was being managed since the Good Friday game…and some weeks its just better than others.

He clearly injured his ankle in the final QTR of the first north game, has been half the player since.

I am absolutely willing to believe he was already carrying something into the season, he would be one of 100s of players across the league that do, every year.

 

[Red_man2008]

6-8 players won’t get up for next week. Get on west coast as soon as you can.

Can surgery fix this? Anyone know?

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Coach transplant.

 

[RPCB]

That would be so good. Made me smile. Thanks.

Apart from his brother, there is nothing at Carlton for SDK.

Russell walks into the room after the game. “Whoever has done a hammy put up your hand”. 22 put up their hand with Cowan the only one not to do so. Voss, “not being part of the team there Cow! You’re dropped for next week.”

Why is Russel still there the guy should leave immediately

Sorry but Charlie has never consistently made 2nd & 3rd efforts…..

 

[Blue By Blood]

Taping an ankle does not prevent injury nor does it eliminate the risk of injury. It’s merely an attempt to reduce the severity of an ankle injury should it occur. If Charlie has an ongoing ankle issue then the only long-term solution is rehabilitation or surgery depending on severity.

I don’t know the extent of his injury obviously but to get back to 100% he probably needs weeks off but that won’t happen at this stage of the season.

What you’ll see in a lot of sports (AFL included) is athletes taping prophylactically (taping despite never having had a serious injury to that body part) in order to prevent the severity of injury.

Well last week I did say that taping the ankle doesn’t prevent injury and that he needs weeks off. If there’s instability there or if he’s made it significantly worse that’s a concern.

Two thoughts here:

1. The season is DONE. It is time to pack off the guys who are clearly not fit for the summer and give them a chance to be ready for next year. That is obviously the blokes hurt today, but probably also Walsh, McGovern and Acres from what we have seen.

Will we lose next week? Yep, but it's 4:40pm in Perth so who cares. At which point finals will be mathematically impossible ans we can cruise through the last round injury free.

2. I think the club owes us an answer to a pretty important question: did they go into a high intensity training block at the bye (as has been rumoured). That was the bye, followed by Geelong (who were undermanned and who we belted) then Richmond (same) but the way we blew up physically against GWS before quarter time, then again against the Bulldogs, and the mounting injuries since...

An explanation won't ease the pain but it would at least make it easier to understand. Did we just make a mistake? If so, fair enough, it happens. If not a mistake, if this is just where we are at then the club is in all sorts of bigger trouble imo

Voss denied that we had a higher intensity training block last week in his press conference.

 

[JJBagger]

If there’s any positive for the rest of the year, at least some of the kids will probably get a run because of these injuries . Might be able to spark something in the last couple of games

 

[Bryce Bubbles]

Season is not done!

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Hearing Charlie might have syndesmosis injury...

 

[Aphrodite]

Hearing Charlie might have syndesmosis injury...

Hearing from?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Even if he has done a syndesmosis just play the kids and pack him up for the season. Get TDK and Charlie 100% for next season and sort out our list issues.

As much as the injury side of things has been a disaster this year, it's not the reason we've capitulated the last 2 months.

Whoever replaced Russell needs to be the best of the best. The constant injury issues is a disaster for the development of youngsters which is where my fear lies the most.

 

[GT619]

Season is not done!

yes it is

 

[agro]

Appalling mismanagement of injured and perennially injured players has derailed this season.

 

[BolshyAust]

Appalling mismanagement of injured and perennially injured players has derailed this season.

Huge comment. What knowledge do you have of mismanagement?

 

[branedotorg]

Appalling mismanagement of injured and perennially injured players has derailed this season.

In your opinion.
