No Oppo Supporters Double-Death-Riding Carlton 2019 Edition - Currently Pick 1 and 19

[spenze]

Going to really leave Carlton short of experience .....also delisted Rowe ....DEF will be their Achilles Heel this year

\\

Think you'll find they'll have the same achilles heel they've had the last few seasons.

The coaching box

Not how I want this thread to go. Crap news for him.

Shit news for carlton and docherty..

We’ve all be going on about Brad Crouch and hoping he makes it through this preseason and goes on to play a full season next year... but ive been more “worried” about brodie smith.. constantly praying we dont hear news that hes re-injured his knee... the risk is always there as docherty has now unfortunately found out.. even lever has had a setback in the last week..

And sam docherty is to carlton what brodie smith is to adelaide... both very important top 5 players for their respective clubs and both seriously missed out on the field in 2018..

Knee injuries are ******.

Considering that Brodie injured his knee in September and wasn't available till late in the season, I was pretty shocked to hear that Doc was ready to play this year.
I feel like there was an injury management shift mid-year at the Crows. We went conservative and rested rather than play through and rush back. 6 months too late in reality but seems to be paying off now when you hear everyone's progress.

 

[Donkey Magoo]

I thought he did his injury in the early rounds of 2018? I could be wrong though

Nah, happened in November.

 

[BrissyCrow]

I am always looking for anything that benefits the club but benefiting from another players injury is not what I look for. Feel sorry for any player who loses a year out of the game through injury.

sad sad news

is it just me or does it seem a little early for Docherty to be involved in tackling drills?

Isn't 12 months still the benchmark to return to competitive action? Even so, I kind of agree, tackling drills are asking for trouble that is probably quite needless for someone 13 months from an ACL.

Was during the pre-season, which means when he returns, he will have missed 2 full seasons.

They got Hawthorn's conditioning coach who is supposed to be one of the best in the business. I doubt he would have had Docherty doing tackling drills if he didn't think it was safe. I think this is most likely just shit luck for Docherty. Repeat ACL injuries are a pretty common thing still, though not as common as they used to be. This is why ACL's are the bane of every footy supporter. Not only are they open to being re-injured, players who sustain this kind of injury are never the same again.

Damn this thread reminds me how much I loathe being tied at the hip with a travesty of a footy club like Carlton. I hope SOS and Reid's love affair comes to an end some time soon.

Terrible news for Carlton fans

Great news for Sam McClure fans

Every cloud

 

[Thetrader15]

Geez that’s horrible, Docherty would be shattered beyond words right now. Feel for him and CFC

Hopefully he’s able to bounce back in 2020

I feel for him...the CFC not so much

 

[Thetrader15]

Carlton on their website, said Docherty could have playeed the last few games .....so that's 3 months ago, obviously thought he was ok for full contact

Were they tanking then?

 

[GROTTO]

Poor bastard, don’t wish that on anyone

Helps us immeasurably though

They were relying on him return and pushing them up the ladder. Its a massive body blow.

Youre right it does help us in the washup.

 

[GROTTO]

Rumours on Carlton board that he did the injury on a trampoline.

Glory be.

 

[Scorpus]

They have trampolines for training?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I doubt most of the people in this thread would even be posting about Docherty's injury if it wasn't relevant to the pick trade we have with cfc. People feel bad for profiting from some other team's misery. It's an awkward situation. We all know ACL's are the pits.

I feel bad for Docherty as an individual.

I don't feel bad for their club, their supporters or media sycophants like McClure though.

 

[robboaustralia]

Shit news. Really enjoying watching Docherty play. Massive loss for Carlton and my dream team for another year.

They were planning to jump up the ladder, this was the best plan Bolton had.

You are right, I'd post my thoughts in the Non-Crows thread

Geez surely not.

Are they taking advice from Mitch Grigg...

Its a pretty unique plan. Got to give him that.

Well...
Hopefully he bounces back....

Ha ha, see what I did there!

...
I’ll see myself out.

It appears the post has been taken down too on BF, apparently there is a video of him on trampoline on his gf instagram over the weekend that has now been deleted.

Seriously the stupidity is mind boggling, even if it didnt cause his ACL.

 

[GreyCrow]

To be fair I think a trampoline is a good non-impact way to increase leg strength.

If he did backflips etc then thats dumb

The video would be priceless. If the video exists, Im sure BF would find it.

Yes we used to use trampolines for leg strength training but glory be, I think the guy was stuffing around on the weekend.

It was also the pre-season last year as well .....so for the club to say he could have played in August, 8 months was maybe ambitious
