Injury Hampson - Knee

[Sin City]

Limped to the change rooms in the third quarter, has been subbed off. Matthew Richardson mentioned it looked like a PCL. Hope it's not too bad.

 

[Poseidon]

I don't know much about injuries. PCL is nowhere near as bad as ACL right?

 

[Dramoth]

Hopefully it's just a strained PCL... the benefit is that he was walking down to the rooms

 

[Silvagnis]

Usually a six to eight week injury.

Matt Allan had one as well.

 

[SexyBlueGirl]

Don't know PCL, I only know ACL is the worst and medial is the "best".

 

[Dramoth]

Usually a six to eight week injury.

Matt Allan had one as well.

Hammer will be on his way back when we are hitting the finals.

Hopefully its just a slight strain...

 

[Sin City]

Ratten said he got a knock on it, hopefully it'll turn out to be a corked or bruised knee. Fingers crossed.

 

[The Grover]

what a shame, has shown so much the past 2 weeks.

He has convinced me that we must keep him at Carlton.

 

[gbatman]

thank god Kreuzer is firing and Warnock and Casboult are playing VFL.

 

[Dramoth]

I think that the club will rest him and bring back in either Warnock or Setanta. Levi just isnt ready yet coming off his own knee injury...

Hopefully. .. PCL's are pretty common for ruckman though, knee/shin on knee collisions. .. Better than an ACL but hope its a scare or bruising and a couple of weeks. .. Fingers crossed, he was starting to find some marking confidence. ..

Warnock picked a bad week to have a rough game, do you think the MC will back up Kreuz with Hendo and Irish? (three man ruck rotation)

 

[jonoman89]

Really shit luck, was in some very good form last two weeks.

 

[HotBlueGirl]

Unlucky as well, just starting to show what he can do.

 

[Jeremias]

Have to feel for the big fella.

Worked himself into some very good form over the past few weeks, has been playing really well.

Hopefully the injury is not a serious one and he's back sooner rather than later.

Warnock a fine replacement but he has his work cut out for him now.

Can't see why Irish wouldn't get the nod. Tails are up, loads of flexibility with that option and I reckon he brings more to the overall spirit of the team.

 

[Brownlow Murphy]

warnock should come in, kreuze would struggle with shouldering the ruck load, he didnt cope with the amount of work today, you could see midway through the last, he was gone.

but its lovely to know we have a lot of pressure for the rucking spots in the team and shows our depth, unlike collingwood who are stuffed as soon as jolly is injured

 

[Stamos]

Really bad luck for Hammer, been in great form the last 3 weeks, and was int eh votes when he went down today. If he didn't get hurt, would have been a 10 goal + win.

Warnock has to come back in, can't ruck Hendo or Setanta against Cox and NicNat

Correct. He was fairly average yesterday for the Bullants but Warnock must come in to help Kruze against the Eagles big men. This is no assignment for part-timers like Irish or Hendo.

 

[HBF]

I think the fact that he limped off the ground is a good sign. Hopefully Ratts is right, and that is was just a knock to the knee, and nothing more serious than that. Given we had the game sewen up when he went off, we didn't have to take any risks with him.

Just a shame he might miss this week when we are coming up against Cox & Naitanui.

Form is a funny beast. Sometimes opportunity and circumstance is enough for form to be rekindled. If Hammer is out and 206 gets the call, who knows, he could get a confidence boost by being in the right places at the right times very early in the game (and kick goals for example) and away he goes. A few nice taps ala Kruze to Judd and Murph later and he is flying.

Did Santana play Ants v Geelong?

 

[AlecDuncan]

Scans on Shaun Hampson’s right knee confirmed he has a grade 2 strain of his PCL. He is expected to miss six to eight weeks

 

[Dumpstar]

[Stamos]

Terrible luck for Hammer. Was in really good form.
This may mean he is less likely to look elsewhere at the end of the year (the only positive I can think of).

 

[bobsyouruncle]

God damn it.

Just rewatched the game before and thought he was in very good form until the injury. Hopefully 6 weeks rather than 8 so he'll be match fit come the finals if Warnock's form isn't great.
