Injury Brad Crouch out for the year? #@%!

[feenix67]

Yeah he’s played at least one quality game since 2014.

That's a bloody expensive game...

 

[Mike Smyth]

Came for the melts.

Have been disappointed

You'e too early. Come back in September.

 

[mistylake]

they accidentally swapped his arm and leg during surgery

Brodie Smith will be taking all midfield positions when he returns later in the year after his doctor botched the surgery.
Apparently they’re blaming a typo on the doctors appallingly bad writing for Brodie’s new body shape post surgery.

 

[Iron]

How many broken legs and arms do we need to exchange for sloane's signature

 

[Elite Crow]

That's a bloody expensive game...

So he has played at least one quality game?

Dude give it up, you know my position. Badgering me isn't going to change it.

So you just want to keep posting your opinion without being picked up on it? Are you Rucci?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Should the ? be removed now from the thread title...

Holy mackerel.

How long will the recovery time be?

Just read a Sydney player had groin surgery and was expected to be out for 4-6 weeks.

Same surgery, same injury. Different super contributions.

Our fitness team probably adds a couple of months.

Crouch has not been able to run for some time so his fitness base even if the surgery goes well will take time to build and therefore I think we won't see him at all this season

 

[Shaz2012]

Yeah, he is gone for the season unfortunately. It probably happened in a year that nothing was coming together anyway. If we make a late run and fall short then we might look at this particular player, but more generally it doesnt look like it will have made any different.

I am not going to write off Brad's career. I am looking at Seedsman and there is still hope that he can get his body right and have a good career.

Sad news finally confirmed beyond any doubt.

 

[Magma]

it would be pointless to bring him back this season regardless. make sure any surgeries and whatnot are done for pre season.

So B.Crouch and Smith available for GF?

[King Elvis]

Another key player mismanaged.

****ing unbelievable that we are in this position.

 

[GrommoT]

Wrong movie.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Another key player mismanaged.

******* unbelievable that we are in this position.

So Campbell Brown was right then?

They really are full of shit down at West Lakes, aren’t they.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Hey, Crows fans. Look over there!

Camporeale’s press conference today... holy shit. It was like Ian Scuttlebutt (you may use this) was holding up cue cards in the background.

“Culture.”

 

[Bearded Clam]

How long will the recovery time be?

Just read a Sydney player had groin surgery and was expected to be out for 4-6 weeks.

So what you’re suggesting is that he has missed a preseason and 10 weeks of this season all for an injury that when surgery is performed to fix it takes 4-6 weeks before a return?..

If this is true then of the surgery was performed in the preseason he’d have been back playing for us 6 weeks ago..

FMD..

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

So B.Crouch and Smith available for GF?







*Glenelg Fishing

Brouch can be ruled out til next year.

Smith still an outside chance though.

 

[MRB37]

Another key player mismanaged.

******* unbelievable that we are in this position.

How so? Teams never book players in for surgery in these type of situations until it's a last resort.

 

[headache1]

Hey, Crows fans. Look over there!

Fans: What's the prognosis for Brad Crouch?

AFC: Do you want to know the horrifying truth. .. Or do you want to hear about CONTRACT EXTENSION?!

 

[SugarShane]

So is he confirmed as having surgery or is it just surgery awareness at this point?

 

[Jack is Back]

I wonder when they realised it was OP for Brad?

Abdominal instability is often a cause of OP, especially excessive strengthening of the abs.

Didn't Brad have an abdominal injury initially? Was this another mismanaged strengthening program by Haas and Burton?

Wouldn't suprise me in the least.

Brad had groin problems all last year but managed to play some good footy despite the discomfort. He was cuddled through the pre-season and was rarely training with the main group. The idea was to slowly increase the intensity of the training so he would be ready to go for round one.

I suspect things weren’t going perfectly because it was subsequently announced he would not play until JLT2. When he ramped things up he suffered an abdominal strain and the groin problems returned in spades.

I don’t think “Fitness Gurus” can be blamed for pushing him too hard in the pre-season, quite the opposite. Perhaps we were too optimistic and should have gone straight for the surgery option.

The problem with Brad is that he has had three potentially career threatening injuries, the hamstring, the foot and now the groin.
