lol to the injury list. Absolute lol. I’d love to understand the club rational for keeping Russell. We won’t ever know though. Cue the Russell defenders. You’ve all been repeatedly proven wrong. No I won’t respond to your debate narrowing builshit that has wrecked this site. You know who I’m talking to.

I will repeat what I’ve said for a number of years: how could we do WORSE with someone else?

Ponder. No rational answer possible. All the best.

Has to be something to do with how we are training. Probably going too hard mid week. Then again there has been no mid week for some of them because they have not played a game.

6 player missing with muscle strains.

The two knees are accidental, Docherty has a history with that injury. Carroll, not uncommon for young players to struggle in the first few seasons of their career.

2 concussions is pretty much s**t happens as is Fogarty and Marchbank's situation.

The 6 strains is the one that gets me. That's huge. Yes many players have a history there. But this is nuts.

6 strains is excessive but 3 were effectively from one game. Skews the numbers. What is unclear is whether it’s simply bad luck or cumulative effect of load management, surface, preparation, whatever.

Of the lot, reckon we need Cerra back asap. The rest we can somewhat cover.

Enough research has been done to indicate that most soft tissue injuries are prep related, some are bad luck but most aren't.

3 in one game being bad luck would be extraordinary, it's far, far more likely to be something prep related.

Saad in my opinion is the one we need asap as Walsh is back and already firing. Run and carry is a huge asset at the moment.

 

[ferrisb]

The 2 ACLs are really hurting us now

ACL = absolutely crap luck

Cerra is a big watch on the injury front - three hamstrings in three years since he joined Carlton. Expect they will be quite conservative.

Cez plays against Geelong IMO

 

[Arr0w]

Cerra might miss another 2 games after GWS

 

[DEliades]

Cerra might miss another 2 games after GWS

Vossy said otherwise today in his presser. Wouldn’t make it a low grade strain if he misses 4 games

 

[Lace_Out]

Is Motlop's injury to the same hamstring or has he done the other one?

How this went from a toe to back to back hamstring injuries is incredible.

Changed the way he runs (to protect the toe) just enough to overload his hammy.

You don't know anything for sure, other than we have injuries.

I get the frustration but to be so certain of the reasoning behind injury without the specifics is naive and presumptuous.

The club hierarchy have done a thorough and ongoing analysis of the decision makers involved in player injury management and have emphatically supported Russell.

So you either know more than they do or you're finding a scapegoat for your emotional upset.

Toughen up.

At Carltonians function said he was a “chance” for Cats, likely for Pies. Let’s see how he trains this week.

[Sam The Doc]

Geez disappointing. Especially Fogarty....

 

[sosos]

15 out of 44 injured = 1/3 of the list.
12 out of 23 = 1/2 of our best 22.

We've been beaten around the head with the injury stick this entire century, but that's the worst I've seen.

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

This type of adversity galvanises a club.
Next man up.
Players and club sense something special this year.
So do I, do you?
Watch the club/ team respond on game days.

Like a blue healer, we have mongrel now.

How much will it impact the core playing most games throughout the year.
We were absolutely spent by the prelim last year.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Ouch...

 

[RPCB]

Jeez. We have about 6-8 players on our injury list who would make it into the best 22 of most clubs. Brutal.

 

[Opium]

Geez disappointing. Especially Fogarty....

It was always a 6 week plus injury. Didn't have surgery so needs time to let the bone heal.

4 of those are tests (Wilson, Akuei, Weiters and Williams). It’s closer to 11 out of 44.

Still not great.

But the boys have shown that if they stick to the system they can beat anyone. I’m starting to believe this squad mentality.

[Opium]

Interesting Martin listed as 5 weeks from the 3rd April? Should be back in two weeks going by the timeline?

 

[MrJimmy]

So Willo is confirmed just a knock? Pretty good news if so. I highly doubt they risk him this week (or possibly next) but I feared the worst when they said achilles "knock".
