Injury Blue Healers Discussion - 2024

[skadoosh]

Often with fully ruptured MCLs you see the injured person in intense pain. While Kennedy looked very sore he wasn't writhing around.

Guessing there is some torn meniscus to complicate things

I've fully torn my MCL. There was actually no pain at all with the initial tear, just a loud pop (think cracking your knuckles). It got very swollen, very quickly, but the pain only really started the day after.

I was in a knee brace for about one and a half months and fully healed at 3 months.

But I'm not an elite athlete, so numbers will vary here.

Worst case would be about 8 weeks for a grade 3 MCL tear

 

[sbwan]

What is he trying to say here? It’s an MCL but we will be sweating on it over the next week because it could be a significant one? So in other words he has no idea?

Sam Edmund is reliable, especially when it comes to Carlton. If he's saying that, then it's a coded way of saying we're pretty concerned its serious.

 

[Zlatan]

Probably 5-8 weeks

Just crazy that this happened from stepping on Taranto’s foot at a stoppage before the ball even went up

Should suspend Taranto's foot!

Chop it off

Would probably improve his kicking efficiency...

Innocuous injury to Bam Bam. Doesn't look too bad, hopefully only a week or two. View attachment Video_240701161359-Segment 1.mp4

Probably 5-8 weeks

Hopefully right for finals.

It’s now a minor concern for MK could only miss one week.

Mitch Cleary going with minor 1-2 weeks...

 

[Lukeblueboy]

I don’t know about Cleary, but I bloody hope his on the money with Kennedy time frame

Until the club announces it, I suspect they're all guessing.

1 week would be a very low percentage guess, so fingers crossed.

 

[Benaly28]

Club doctors are pretty good.

Coniglio had a small tear in his MCL earlier in the year and only missed a couple of weeks.

Just depends on how badly it is damaged but I think Kennedy has hurt his MCL before so might be a bit longer.

From 7News earlier


Mitch Cleary - ‘More optimism around Carlton tonight on Matt Kennedy’s knee injury than this time yesterday’



We’ll find out tomorrow when the Club releases the latest injury update.

Caroline Wilson just came out and said the cause of the injury was due to Patrick Cripps

's baby being in the change rooms after the game and that it is "not a good look for the club".

Have you seen the size of BamBams legs? Plenty of meat to support those knees!

Voss used the word strain in his presser which suggests being on the more minor side.

But we'll have to wait and see.

When ch 7 report officially its usually pretty accurate so I'm optimistic he will only miss 2-3 weeks.

 

[RedFury]

Hey…snap

It's more of a tear actually ...
But (not so) seriously .. wrong word for this thread!

The cause of the Kennedy injury? Did Kennedy step on Crippas kid cause it looked like Taranto to me.
