Injury Blue Healers Discussion - 2025

[Arr0w]

January the most important preseason block

 

[ferrisb]

That’s a big chunk of players missing a lot of pre season

Charlie and Acres the only ones of major consequence.

 

[BlueLocke]

Most of those guys have still been able to train at a prettt high capacity.

JSOS would have been running hard since July, Durdin has been spotted doing virtually everything except full contact, Cotts can still run and do most skill work; Acres and Charlie are the only two you’d want to see back in the first half of January, but that 12 week block before the season starts is plenty for those two.

Curnow out for 5 months, with that knee injury HS.

The injury occurred during training yesterday, with scans confirming the strain.

Walsh is expected to integrate back into the training program in the next two to three weeks.

So does this mean the Princes Park surface wasn’t the problem after all?

Here we go

SAKKKCCCC RUSSELLLLLL

Sack Inness

This is record speed communication from the club.

Normally we'd be having track watchers report the player missing for a good month before we heard they were out for another 2 weeks which actually meant 12

 

[Arr0w]

Still has time to build back up before the start of the season

 

[Benaly28]

Just bring him
Back for round 2.

Maybe it's just me but I find the statement a bit confusing. Says he will be sidelined for at least a month and we are in pre-season so that period doesn't include actual games which means it's referring to training. But then they follow up that by saying he is expected to integrate back into training in 2-3 weeks.

Death, Taxes, and a horrific injury list before the season has even begun...

At what point do we bring in a Witch Doctor? It worked for the Socceroos...

transparency is a bizarre concept at Carlton I know, but believe it or not other clubs actually tell their fans how long a player is expected to be out and this is them doing so.

Hamstrings are very minor injuries normally, as soon as he's got the strength back in it over the next 2-3 weeks he'll be back in full training shortly after (1-2 weeks).

 

[The Great Ian]

Great start from Inness

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Great start from Inness

1 string this side of Christmas, normally we'd have half our list in the rehab group by now. Lets have some faith.

 

[Beyond Blue]

Is that 4 years in a row Walsh has had an injury impacted pre season?

 

[tarczonandjane]

Questions we might dare ask:

1: is it a back-related hamstring?
2: is a bulky physique likely to increase or decrease the possibility of hamstring injuries?

 

[RPCB]

Death, Taxes, and a Sam Walsh preseason injury.

 

[Juice030103]

2-3 weeks is nothing. Not ideal but it’s nothing

Won’t miss even a praccy match

 

[JJBagger]

1 string this side of Christmas, normally we'd have half our list in the rehab group by now. Lets have some faith.

The fact we only have 2 blokes not in training and it’s mid January is a sensational effort for the club, let alone the league

 

[azlou]

I’m on the keep Walsh lean on a wing strong core.Use his strength running we have enough pure mid options if through the season we need him we can reassess

afraid of point 1...

He's already added a considerable amount of muscle this off season. He won't be going to the wing any time soon even if some of us think it would be beneficial.

Clearly set on staying on ball or he'd have stayed lean.
