Injury Elliot out for ....(well a couple of months you'd think)

[ottoman]

Wouldn't be funny if we had Treloar, Howe, Elliott & Reid all out for long periods....

Pars is a 3-6 month recovery, 1-2 months without any high impact training / activity.
It'll be more likely we'll see him after the mid-season break.

And the diagnosis is expert here on big footy even without seeing the patient.

He kicks his goals from the midfield pushing forward into space.

He has shown no ability to play as a leading forward or as a crumber really, including his junior days. He is like a more outside Dayne Beams, kicks goals but is definitely a midfielder at heart.

I never saw him play as a junior but I can't think of a more balanced natural crumber on the list. I also think he's got lots of inside ability despite his size and limited minutes there. He's definitely a midfielder at heart but there's a long list ahead of him for those spots at the moment.

He's had it since mid season last year.
He must be just about recovered by now.

It doesn't really go away because its the disintegration or even complete loss of little linking bones between vertebrae. It can cause prolapsed disc episodes as the little linking bones create inter vertebrae stability. I should know, I've suffered from pars for some 17 years now. The first half dozen years was characterised by many episodes of prolapsed L3, L4 and S1 discs. And this was during a period of high fitness training and strength training. I would tend to recover quicker after the initial few episodes. But once those bones are gone, it take a while for the body i.e: surrounding muscles, to develop enough to try and counter the effects of losing these little bones.

I was being facetious with my post however, thanks for the insight into the condition.
Doesn't sound great.

Not to be pedantic, FuManchu, but there are no "little linking bones" between vertebrae. The vertebrae themselves interlock, a pars defect is a break on one side of a single vertebra. Of course you can have multiple pars defects, either with pars defects on both sides of one vertebra or at multiple levels, and they can progress to a slippage of the upper half of a vertebra on the lower half, called a spondylolisthesis, which may compress the spinal cord and spinal nerves.

It was what was described to me when I first got diagnosed by the physio. There must be some locking of the bone to prevent it going beyond a certain point and this prevention is compromised from what i gather.

You can't think of a more balanced natural crumber on the list because we don't have any natural balanced crumbers on the list

It's been that way since Krak left

Callum Brown in future perhaps?

Pass on my apologies but I'll have to skip your climate change deniers meeting as well.


Collingwood über alles

What's climate change?
How does it effect Collingwood?

I have nothing to add to the discussion, I'm just posting in here so Yarran2Rioli likes my post.

What's this?

I'm also just replying to get a like.

A change in the clubs atmosphere after switching from a MM side to a Buckley side. A MM side ( known as an El Nono) last about 10 years and is very volatile in its local weather patterns, a Buckley side (El Nana) , duration unknown, is more stable but with higher pressure areas.

COLLINGWOOD coach Nathan Buckley remains confident injured forward Jamie Elliott can still play a meaningful role in the first half of the AFL season, despite having no timeline on a return date.



Elliott, who has been battling the nagging back complaint pars defect, is set to resume running tomorrow, but admitted himself this week he was unsure of when he would play again.

Buckley said the club was taking a long-term view on the 23-year-old’s welfare, saying it was prepared to give him as much time required to recover and undergo the conditioning required to allow him to resume pain-free.

Sounds snsible

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

No You can't.
Anyone wh has ever had back trouble would know it never fixes fully.
End of story. Can cripple fine careers.
Elliot will need monitoring ongoing. That's how it is.

I have to accept the truth of your time estimate. 'Forever a problem' unfortunately seems an accurate assessment of Elliot's condition. Backs are debilitating. I hesitate to be the devil's advocate, but I see only darkness and gloom on the immediate horizon of Elliot's career, with posters spinning grim tales of trials, tests and tears in a confused mix of truth and fiction, as the Ben Reid syndrome claims yet another vital member of our squad. Why do these sorts of injuries always strike the best of our players? It is the career-ending, Collingwood curse. It struck down Lee Walker, Sean Rusling and Dale Thomas. It is gnawing chunks out of Reid's, Freeman's and Scharenberg's careers. Now Jamie Elliot's high-flying act seems destined to lose the spring in its step. Is there no benign god overseeing our fate?

These things are sent to try us.

Yes indeed! And we shall emerge even stronger from the struggle. Minus a star or two perhaps but one person's loss is another's opportunity. At least, that's what we say to console ourselves when the brightest stars fall from the sky.

Have you ever thought what would happen if a real star in the sky fell on us?
No more earth....

 

[davywap]

This has been an issue since the end of last year. How has the club not managed to fix the problem yet? Come round 1 it'll will close to a 3-4 month injury.

**** yeah, and why haven't the club cured cancer yet whilst we're at it?!?!?

Needs more drama to get to academy award standard. Try harder.
