Injury HFC Injury watch 2024

[Siri]

You already know he will be out for 2 more months, you tell us what the excuse will be.

Rolled ankle.

You already know he will be out for 2 more months, you tell us what the excuse will be.

The article said hoping to be back before the R15 bye. He has never been back earlier than predicted, from any of his many and varied injuries.

 

[eldorado]

So why is it an 'excuse', and not a reason?

Just because we all want Lewis playing now doesn't people are giving 'excuses'...sometimes you can't wave a wand, and sometimes two different options for injury management have their own pros and cons. "Excuses" implies obvious mismanagement

Tell me what they should be doing?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

I didn’t know we had so many medical experts on this board. Who needs WebMD when you’ve got Bigfooty Hawks!

 

[spotthedot]

its bloody disappointing for lewis and the hawks but also the fans. we need to move on with our future plans...if mitch does end up playing its a bonus, if not we are ready to go with a team that doesnt include him. reliability factor of him being in the team now or in the future is heading to the 20/80 rule me thinks.

 

[brew]

Just get Lewis right for a big offseason so he can be part of the battalion.

So many people look at players like chess pieces and then there is an injury expect an immediate and accurate prediction on when they are back and assume any variation to that is a massive stuff up or lies.

They look at someone with an injury and think, we need him back now, they said 3 weeks....AAGGGHHH. And have no concern for the fact that the poor guy is in pain and it likely hurts for him to walk and not getting proper rest and doing further damage could lead to lifelong chronic pain which many athletes have.

There are people, they feel pain and no 2 injuries are identical. Sicily played out the game after a dislocated shoulder and is a chance this week. Some people miss 8 weeks with that. They aren't cars going in for repairs.

Boss: “Some of our customers said it would make them feel better if you go in for surgery so you can get back to work faster.”

Employee: “But the doctor said …”

Boss: “Security, restrain him.”

 

[HairyO]

The issue is, they often seem to say 3 weeks and 9 weeks later he is still "Test".

How hard is it to listen to the reports or to read them though?

I mean, the club has been very open about trying to get Mitch back into the side, what they need him to do, how they’ve built him up and then had to taper him off due to how he’s pulled up or the set back he’s had.

Even this week Burge has gone into detail about what they intend to do…and I’m still reading Hawk supporters saying that the club have not been transparent, which is rubbish.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Mitch Lewis is set to resume running on the Alter-G treadmill this week as he slowly ramps up his rehab following a knee complaint.

"We had to take a step back and we had to unload him all together for the past week and he's just in the process now of slowly reloading through Alter-G treadmill," Burge said.

"He does feel a lot better, which is really good news, but there's some more steps we have to take first before we move outside and start progressing training load outside."

Had to grit me teeth when the guy interviewing Burge says 'Mitch Lewis who's been out for a couple of weeks'

Lloyd needs a spell, he’s been massive recently.
Hello Ned, here’s your opportunity.

 

[I got the outside word]

Watson into the ruck for Meek.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Lloyd needs a spell, he’s been massive recently.
Hello Ned, here’s your opportunity.

Reading the report it doesn't sound hopeful but I feel the club will give him every opportunity to prove his fitness given the importance of this week's game on any potential finals appearance.

Cooper Stevens

Achilles been an issue all year (inb4 threesixpio says "it's been his achilles heel")

4-5 weeks


Hmmmm...

Put a fork in him.

LEWIS prayers are true

But good to hear, pretty sure he trained today in the main group so will likely get this week and next into the Richmond game.

Sad to hear about Phillips, Meek interesting watch.

 

[Roddy]

It sounds like, if Meek doesn't get up this week, Noodle may still be OK to play? Otherwise, Ramma might have to come in to play first ruck?

So good to see a timeline for Lewis and can’t wait to catch a glimpse of McCabe soon

Lewis likely available for next week but the safe play is the Eagles after the bye. McCabe VFL against the Tigers next week.

Exciting player McCabe the faithful are going to love him
