Injury Blue Healers Discussion - 2024

[Burgers45]

I too am worried about Marchy's illness. It sounds serious, and he might not be available for the early rounds. We can't afford to have too many of our top tall defenders out for too long. Need someone to counter Daniher, Hipwood etc. I'm not confident Young, maybe Sam Durdin

I had a random thought. What was that funny injury someone in the media once said, it was something awareness. Asking because maybe that is what Sam Walsh

I don’t think we can rely on Marchbank if any way unfortunately.Having him available is a bonus when right.Durdin/Young/Kemp will have to be the options.

Ball won't spend too much time in our backline this year, so we should ok

just means you can feel a bit of pain when you do something, ie hamstring awareness being the you get a twinge when running.

players always played through that kind of pain, now they know it could be a minor tear or strain that pushing through could seriously exacerbate.

think there were a few awarenesses at Essendon last year that were called that but lead to 6+ weeks off

 

[ferrisb]

think there were a few awarenesses at Essendon last year

It certainly wasn't self-awareness...

 

[Lace_Out]

Well that update from Cripps confirms what I was hearing, was never a big concern, just being ultra cautious.

It seems like a massive grey area, it's been very vaguely touched on - nobody seems to have any real answers for this one - quite concerning.

 

[DollarsandSense]

Think we need to clarify our nomenclature for 2024 - is Round 1 on this board referring to opening Round or the 2nd game (Round 1 according to the AFL)

Nomenclature...... great word.

 

[Love the Drake]

What’s the update on Sam Durdin? Not on injury list above.

I was told it was load management. No injury.

Don’t ask me who told me.

But that’s what I’ve been told, or read, or overheard..

Hopefully he’s good to go v Melbourne because with Weiters out, Marchbank probably out and kemp misfiring Geelong we don’t have many other options.

I just spoke to one of my connections at the club and he's had covid. They think he'll play the opening round. Fingers crossed they're right.

He's fine. Just his own program. Did a heap up until new year and then a block after. Since then they have just kept him fit and managed him.

firming for first game. Will purely be a question of whether we give him another week

He wants to play

 

[Love the Drake]

So in summary

• Big Durds has been managed - hopefully see him v Melb
• Williams selected in the 2's - gets through that and will be good to go Round 0
• Marchbank has had COVID - should be good to go Round 0
• Walsh is firming to play Round 0
• Owies, little Durds & Jack Martin

Not too bad..

Richmond shitting themselves at the thought of Sam Walsh being unleashed for Round 1 if the club give him an additional week to rest.

WTF is this the 'weather thread' (cleaned up)


Back on topic thanks all!

 

[athensblue]

SOS would have taken covid vs glandular all those yrs ago
If only covid then Marchy will be right to play in March, been a while
