Injury Injuries 2016

[Dogs Rule]

Show as much fight as we did on Friday night and we're still in this up to our eyeballs.

We'll still have 22 on 22, so it's about attitude. All about attitude and I trust Bev to get them up...again.

 

[NBates]

Serious questions - what players do we have left to bring in who aren't injured or underdone?

We get probably suckling, boyd, morris and mclean back this week and bailey williams is a chance for VFL action. We can also rule out Bob, Red, Wally and Prudden for the season and that would only leave us with Adams, big Tommy Campbell to come back in about two or three weeks and Libba and Macrae. Also heard this morning that Libba might be for season and Macrae back for start of finals. Very disappointing news.

Don't expect the two with Achilles issues just come straight back in. I won't be surprised if they miss this week.

THE INJURY-HIT Western Bulldogs will on Monday find out the results of scans to injured midfielders Tom Liberatore and Jack Macrae, and whether the pair will be available come finals.

Liberatore limped off the ground midway through the second quarter against Geelong with a left ankle syndesmosis injury after his leg was caught under a tackle by Cats speedster Steven Motlop.

The 24-year-old had ice applied to the injury following the club doctor's initial assessment and required a protective moon boot and crutches for the rest of the night.

The ankle syndesmosis is the joint between the tibia and fibula bones.

Macrae, meanwhile, reached for his right hamstring straight after being brought to ground in a tackle by Motlop.

The 21-year-old was assessed late in the third term and performed a few tests during the three-quarter time break, but did not reappear.

So Libba hasn't had surgery ?

 

[House_of_Dahl]

one silver lining with all our injuries is that we will be under rated for finals and next season.

Not sure

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Not sure

Due to the fact that scanning and xray services take a holiday over the weekends , I'd say today they will be having their examinations and assessments.

I'm surprised the AFL don't have their own clinic to assess injuries as soon as they happen.

We're obviously hoping for no surgery for Libba because if that's the case it's quite major:

Eg. He will still be on crutches GF weekend. The article above says it is quite unusual for someone to have injured the joint so severely...so in other words book him in for surgery this week and find that f**king black cat.

 

[dogwatch]

Easy target for Gary Kent if he's looking for new sponsors for our club:

We'd give the manufacturers plenty of exposure.

Libba has already had surgery. 4-6 weeks, so very doubtful to get back this year.

Western Bulldogs midfielder Tom Liberatore has undergone surgery to his ankle, following the Club’s match against Geelong on Friday night.

Liberatore sustained a syndesmosis injury to his left ankle in a tackling contest in the second quarter of the match.

Subsequent scans revealed ligament damage, with surgery required to stabilise Liberatore's ankle.

“He’s come through [the surgery] really well so our plan is to get him up and running from a rehab perspective as quick as possible," Western Bulldogs Bulldogs General Manager Football, Graham Lowe said on Monday.

“We need to manage it the right way but we’re optimistic that Tom can play a key part for us towards the end of the season.”

Fellow midfielder Jackson Macrae sustained an upper hamstring injury during the match but Lowe is optimistic about the timeline of Macrae’s recovery.

“It has got some tendon involvement which means it will take that bit longer but Jack will commence rehab in the coming days and we’re optimistic he’ll have a role to play toward the end of the season.”

In further encouraging news, the Dogs could welcome back Dale Morris, Matthew Boyd and Matthew Suckling for Saturday night’s clash with North Melbourne.

Defender Morris has progressed well through the weekends’ training, while Boyd and Suckling will also be given an opportunity to prove their fitness after missing Friday night’s match with their respective achilles concerns.

“They’ve both come in today and they’ve both trained over the weekend, so we’ll assess them through this week of training with a view to being available for selection this weekend," Lowe said.

The news isn’t as good for first-year defender Kieran Collins who injured his shoulder playing for Footscray at the weekend.

Collins will go in for scans on Monday to assess the injury.

Meanwhile Bailey Williams has continued to experience low level symptoms that have failed to respond to the conservative management plan for his knee injury.

“We’ve decided that he will require and arthroscopic investigation which he’ll have today to assist in his ongoing symptoms,” Lowe told BulldogsTV.

“We’re hoping that his return to play timeline will be quite short and he is planning to resume running next week.”

Would have thought there would have been some swelling which would have had to go down first, it was a good sign at least he was able to put some weight on it coming off the field even with adrenaline in the system. Hopefully being able to go in quick for surgery will mean he's back next month

Yeah. Seems like he might get in for finals

 

[philmb]

I wasn't a fan of the bye week between h&a and finals, but with our injuries I'm now convinced it's a brilliant idea.

'Upper hamstring'... **** **** ****.

Code from this is 'both are done for the season'

Yep....tendon related.

Yeah upper hammies are often six weeks plus.

Amazed if Libba comes up.

Shit news on Williams and Collins as well.

Does it only end when we run out of players??
