Saad sat the last 10-12 minutes. Voss mentioned it in his post match presser. Said it was precautionary but so was Gov the week before. 10 days to recovery but will hardly be a surprise if he misses.

We heard about docherty's knee injury AFTER the surgery.
No update on a number of perpetually injured players, even after one played then mysteriously hasn't again for two weeks.

Tho is becoming a bit of a BF poster injury thread but I can agree re dangers of sleeping on your stomach. I’ve had lower back issues ever since injuring at the gym. Only to realise it exacerbates overnight if I’ve slept on my stomach (or side for that matter). As annoying as it is at times to force myself to sleep on my back, it has really reduced the lower back pain.

Tore my ACL 2 months ago. They don't operate anymore at all if you're not an elite athlete or over 24.

I thinks that’s spot on. Most of us aren’t close enough to know if AR is doing a good job or not - from the outside looking in it’s easy to think he isn’t - but I trust Cook would be all over it. He doesn’t suffer fools. He would have set KPIs that if not met will not bode well for AR. If there’s a problem it will be likely the change will come at seasons end but I’m sure it’s being discussed. All will be revealed in due course.
For me the injury malaise is also as much about list management as injury. You can’t have 3 out of 4 high half forwards (Cunners, Martin, Philp) on the list perpetually injured. Ditto for third defenders (Gov, Marchy). A call should have been made last year to delist Cunners and Marchy and target replacements in the off season. The cost of the inaction is now being borne out with our lack of options.
Well I heard about it the night of the game … I doubt he will be playing … it’s us our players never just miraculously come up … lol
I had missed it, we need some good luck, aren't we overdue for it??
Didn’t finish the game. Voss called it “tightness”. Every time we have had a player suffer “tightness” (what a piece of bullshit by them really) we end up losing them. Martin- tightness. Owies- tightness. Cuners - tightness. It goes on.
Wish they’d stop with the lying and half truths. Corkie for mcg my arse.
My best bet is Saad misses 3.

So you want Voss to say "he'll miss 3 weeks"?
I want him to say “he’s probably done a hamstring and very unlikely to play next week.” Not “he had tightness and came off as a precaution.”

What if he doesn't know? What's your script for the coach then?
I have tightness, not sure whether I miss or not
Might be bit of a difference with Martin, DC, Owies and Gov (& Marchy) as they all have a history of repeated soft tissue (and structural/impact/other) injuries. Saad’s been incredibly durable across his career.

YES! 100% - Its not personal. Russell's tenure at Carlton has been a complete failure. Must be a hell of a nice guy to have kept his job so long because his results stink.
I heard the same comment re: "doing the same things" and just shook my head.
It hasn't worked out. Time to change it up.
For me to believe he has no idea I would have to believe that a guy who has been around football for 30 years has never seen a stack of guys come off with “tightness” before. I would have to believe he and the physios see this as such an incredibly unusual phenom that they are just mystified. “This is a really strange one. Haven’t seen this before so will have to get it assessed really.
Like for me to accept it all with a straight face, and provide the script you’re asking me to provide, would require me to suspend disbelief.
But I won’t play that stupid ****ing game. Because anyone who has been anywhere near a footy ground knows that if a guy comes off with tightness, unless it is cramp 95/100 misses at least one week (when there’s no tear on scan) or more (if there is).
So the script I would give would be “look any time a guy comes off with hamstring tightness is a bad sign and usually miss one or more weeks. Fingers crossed it’s the rare case that that doesn’t happen. But let’s be honest and say that’s unlikely.”
Mate, we been overdue for like a decade and no change in luck...

Given they aren’t allowed to expect better from high performance and/or injury management I guess that’s all that remains…

Saad is a machine, I swear he always seems to be under an injury cloud then just bobs up ready to play.

I wonder how hard playing during Ramadan is for him. I simply wouldn't know and don't recall an AFL player talk openly about the subject. I'd imagine it's not easy at all.
