Injury Injuries 2024

Calf is admittedly the ultimate old man injury, although it seems as though JJ has a soft tissue injury every year & he always comes back well.

I thought he was a bit younger than 31 (32 end of year) so it’s perhaps a bit dicey, although I still think he’s a required player if he wants to push on next year.

He’s missed 30 games and counting since the start of 2022, so I agree not looking flash and might only have one more year.
 

Injury List - Round 12

James O’Donnell (illness) - Test
Ed Richards (concussion) – TBC
Anthony Scott (concussion) – TBC
Tom Liberatore (concussion) – 1-2 weeks
Jason Johannisen (hamstring) – 4-5 weeks
Cody Weightman (elbow) – 4-5 weeks
Aaron Naughton (knee) – 4-6 weeks
Nick Coffield (shoulder) – 4-6 weeks
Ryan Gardner (wrist) – 12-14 weeks
Bailey Smith (ACL) – Season
If we can have a good run from here, our teams should be looking amazing in 4-6 weeks, with plenty of fresh legs.

The VFL team in particular had stood up exceptionally well given the injury run.

Credit where credit is due.

The next 2 weeks is make or break. Win both and we put ourselves in a great position post-bye with all of Naughton, Darcy, Weightman & Harmes potentially available.

Lose 1 or both and it’s very hard to make up the ground with such a tough draw to finish the season.

Both Lions and Dockers coming off a bye when we play them, if we manage to win both it will be an amazing effort.

I remember running across Exhibition St a few years ago and thinking I’d been shot.
What are you trying to tell me 🤨
The pain !!
 
Same thing when running for the bus last year. Pop in my calf was so distinct I swear it was audible. Old folks unite.

Getting back to my car after that was a bit of a challenge. Then walking to the footy at Marvel a few days later was so slow.
