Injury Injuries 2016

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

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

That's how I read it too

We should start a trauma discussion group with Gold Coast fans.

There is only so much one can take.

 

[bresker]

I've put the red white and blue cue in the rack, stuck a fork in the sausage, turned off the lights. I'm done with 2016. See you next year.

That top up player we didn't get for Crammers would be pretty handy about now.

Three soldiers out, three cadets in ...

Don't think it's as bad as JJs and he got back in 8ish weeks. Think Jack will be back for finals. Libba I doubt will play again this year unless we win our first final.

 

[Next Waiting]

The resident risk assessor is going to earn his/her keep with Libba and Macrae in the closing stages of our injurus annus horribilus. Don't f*** it up, 2017 and a full deck is just round the corner.

 

[Bazza Bulldog]

Worth considering perhaps our best (core) 22 players and how many have missed significant chunks through injury or suspension (and who are out now).

IMO our Top 22 (not necessarily in order):

Games missed in brackets. Bolded players doubtful or not playing this weekend.

Bont (0)
Jake (1)
Wood (5)
JJ (9)
Murph (15)
Dahl (5)
Libba (1.5)
Boyd (M) (2)
Hunter (0)
Macrae (0)
Crameri (18)
Morris (1)
Suckling (5)
Wallis (1)
Rough (0)
Daniel (2)
Picken (0)
Smith (13)
Biggs (0)
Adams (7)
Koby (7)
Tory (4)

9/22 could be out this week ...

Note: Toyd will be T22 if he plays like Fri PM for the rest of the year!

 

[AFDogs]

Congratulations to Roughy, Biggsy, Bonti, Picko and Hunter for being the only 5 players to play every game.

I can't believe I mentioned Roughead in that sentence either.

 

[bresker]

Roughy's been a warrior this season. He's not the most muscular ruck & he's been crashed and bashed every week. He's played injured & fronted up. Good on him. Gary Ablett should get his phone number and have a chat about the best way to imbibe concrete for the purpose of increasing one's intestinal fortitude.

1. or for Libba

What happens after surgery?
After surgery, you will be immobilized in a splint for the first 10 to14 days. You will typically be kept non-weightbearing on the side of your surgery for six to eight weeks. You will then be allowed to advance your weightbearing in a cast or boot. Swelling persists for many months after this surgery. Stiffness can be problem and physical therapy is often necessary.

This would be stretched for a professional athlete though I think - footballers often will play not 100%, so an injury which would keep a park footballer out would be handled with a bunch of painkillers in the AFL. So thinking extremely optimistically, Libba might be out of the moon boot in 5 weeks and back out on the park for week 1 of finals.

Medical report suggesting Libba and Jack will be back "towards the end of the season"

No chance, unless we win the 1st final

There's every chance Jack could be back. Remember it's 6 weeks until the finals (starting from when he was injured)

Six actually ...

 

[yebiga]

What a nightmare tease of a season. Every time we look to challenge at the very top end - it goes pair shaped.

Half way through the second quarter last week I started to believe again - danger and selwood under control. Liberatore tearing it up - and then boom!

It's such an open season that whoever gets it right with player availability is most likely to win this flag. I wish I had a cat to kick.

We need liberatore maccrae back playing in round 23 to be sure they are ready for finals. We need Adams McLean Williams and Boyd fit too.

Most importantly we need no more fricken injuries.

 

[Dogsman16]

Libby won't be returning.

Marc Murphy is going to miss over ten weeks with the exact same injury. I can't see how Libba gets back in 6.

Cause MMurphy's soft and Libba's hard

One might be playing finals and the other definitely isnt.

Not saying I think he can be back but ladder position definitely has an influence on injury recovery times.

Don't leave Freo out, their casualty list has been as long as ours, for longer. They don't have the depth that we do though.

 

[Libba39]

Any news on Collins???

The talk is that Murphy didnt have surgery and should have That is why he has taken so long to recover

Yea ... and they will have lost the edge to their fitness, especially match fitness so actually slotting them straight back in would be risky, perhaps counter productive.
