Injury Blue Healers Discussion - 2025

[Tjblues]

4 weeks is a solid lay off for a hammy.

Generally a grade 1 hammy (v small tear) is a 2-4 week injury

Grade 2 (bigger tear): 6-8 weeks

Grade 3 (biggest tear/off the bone): 10+ weeks up to 16 with surgery

My money would be on a grade 1 hammy that we are gonna take our time with, so 2-3 weeks of minimal work then building up back to full training 4-6 weeks from now

I pulled my hammy and haven't yet resumed physical activity.

That was 17 years ago...

Yep, plantar lazyfitis for me. It’s been a bitch.

Was this reported somewhere?

God hates us.

Tom morris. Delaying scans until Monday which seems weird.

 

[agro]

Patella I believe

Just when you get over the disappointment of last years ending and start to really hope and believe again. Like clockwork, you get reminded what modern Carlton is.

Can we organise a bubble wrap sponsor, training bubble wrap suits just to get the list through preseason so to minimise another potential injury list disaster…

Hammy’s and knee injuries. And we’re only 17 days into the start of the year.

**** me.

Bad vibes…

Have to wait for swelling to go down before scans. If it’s his patella, then that makes sense that it would be swollen

Nah pretty common. If there’s swelling the scan just sees loads of fluid and doesn’t really provide the answers.

Oscar McDonald (I think) thought he’d done an acl last year but his knee was so swollen that they didn’t get to know the full extent for a month or so and it turned out to be less severe.

I will say there is an impact test they can do that is around a 95% indicator of ACL damage so if they feared that you’d assume it would’ve been reported as such

Fingers crossed, Newy has been one of our most important players for a few years now

360 degrees intense/contact sport, injuries inevitable

Every club in the league is dealing with injuries at this point too. It isn’t specific to us necessarily, although some might feel it is

 

[BrianSetzer]

Patella I believe

If so, what can we expect Agro?

 

[sweethoney]

If so, what can we expect Agro?

Half the season

 

[juzza316]

Sounds like he is going to miss half the season if the early reports are correct. FFS!

 

[agro]

If so, what can we expect Agro?

3-4 months as I’m told.

 

[M_I_G]

If so, what can we expect Agro?

Expect doch to slot in at hbf
To do some wonderful, courageous intercepts, but too often to revert to long, down the line bomb kicks

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Not great news if that’s the case, opens up a spot in defence for a particular type, for now though….
