Injury Report - Season 2024

[tigerfan1961]

The only in here are the ones that think Meehan should still be working at our club. Singlehandedly sent us back to the 90s within 2 years of being in the job. You deserve 30 years of mediocrity again. Disgrace.

Hey Mate, I don’t totally disagree with you but you cannot blame him for Gibcus, Lynch and Balta injuries for starters.
I think sure, there’s definitely an issue in regards soft tissue injuries, but those I mentioned are just pure bad luck, and we are certainly experiencing enough of that!!!

 

[Ctl]

The injuries have been somewhat of a blessing, it means we have been forced to give opportunity and responsibility to the younger players. Aside from Lynch and Balta, the rest of the injuries we have covered pretty well with young players that haven't been able to get games because we've favoured the veterans

 

[Muddiemoose]

the terminology should be fit to play rather than 100% or add the two together which probably is an over kill .lol

I don’t really think the club has been playing players before

Like Prestia he got injured early round 0 but he had also played the entire pre season and match sims so it’s not like we could say he was under done

And the club is doing the right thing resting Dusty last week

Prestia, Grimes earlier in career, Hopper, JGTI and Lynch have pretty well had a history of injuries. It's still inexcusable rushing Lynch and JGTI back last year. I think Gibcus needed more VFL time and Lynch possibly as well, but we're so desperate for a tall forward Lynch got more time.

Gibcus trined and played the entire pre season over 3 months what exactly is the benefit of a vfl game v afl game at that point?

He was already running out entire games either way

To get back to the realistic level slowly.

To get back to the realistic level slowly.

But he did during the pre season since before Xmas when he went to Dubai and started increasing the load and it worked over a period of 4 months

He didn’t even re injure his hamstring he did an ACL due to a bad landing

. It's two completely different scenarios being in the gym than playing at top level.. You're just cherry picking one case, but the concern is the constant recurrence of injuries. Bauer is up again I've noticed.
Yes we know he did an ACL , but how do you know he was fully up to physical strength needed for the demands after so long off?

Looks like Graham will be selected based on the comments, hope it is not at the expense of a Mcauliffe debut

That injury report is so long it has ads in it.

 

[TigerImposter]

You can tell Louie is making up shit in his report and all the players will miss more games. On the update on the lynch report he states his injury was so rare the medical staff hadn’t seen anything like it before. Sounds like we have a group of medicos on their kinder run if they haven’t seen knee tendons in back of knee region.
Also reading between the lines all the players facing tests should not be rushed back. This includes Dusty bc it clearly states he’s been battling all year with it.

It's apparent Richmond are at pains to defend Meehan the Butcher. I can't recall injury reports in the past ever emphasising the rareness of an injury. They were also quick to defend Lynch's injury in the sense that it wasn't due to his conditioning. It's no doubt a rare injury but I've got grave concerns if the medical team haven't seen one of this nature, how Meehan is supposed to rehabilitate Lynch back to full fitness. I've also got no doubt Lynch further damaged his hamstring after he elected to take the kick. These injuries are exacerbated when the hamstring is at full stretch or full eccentric contraction - which occurs during the kicking motion.

I've seen people defending Meehan and that's okay - but people here are citing the mechanism of injury. That's of course no fault of Meehan's - impact injuries, twisting mechnanism etc, all can't be helped during a game. My issue is the conditioning/rehabilitation phase that occurs after initial injury. There's many too many setbacks, delays and recurrence of existing injuries. The amount of soft tissue injuries in itself (Look at the amount of hamstrings on our injury list) says enough. That tells me Meehan's conditioning regime is not up to scratch. Whether he progresses the player to the next phase of conditioning too quickly, whether he overloads the players during pre-season and the wear and tear on the bodies are too great already or whether as a new employee, he succumbs to pressure from the match committee and signs off on players before they are well and truly ready to return to play. I've stayed quiet on the topic thus far, but I'm in the sport-medico field and Meehan's track record certainly brings more questions than answers at this stage.

Thanks for your detailed post bc a lot on here have had enough of Louie and his medical team now as they've continually given us hints of evidence for their incompetence, but the current Lynch report took the cake.

Unless I have missed something that pretty much is season over for Lynch in terms of effective contribution. 13 weeks out which will be at least a few longer based on our track record and it has taken him a few games this year to start looking reasonable so that adds up to about 18 weeks before he is any good. Back for August when our season is over and the club will say don’t risk for this year and then rinse repeat next year.

 

[tiger_tough]

Lynch should be right for finals.

Considering the injury is so rare to them then it may take them 5 weeks to decide what operation procedure is needed and educating themselves on it. Then they will also need to understand suitable rehabilitation and then strengthening and conditioning work afterwards. It appears they lack knowledge in this area and i'm not confident for Lynch looking into the future. I think he needs to be sent to professionals with an excellent track record in these types of injuries otherwise it could be career ending for him. agree we won't see him again this year as it would be madness .

Interesting that Prestia has changed from 6 weeks to only 3 weeks away. Hopper could be back after the bye next week. Unfortunately Lynch is still listed as 10-12 weeks which isn't ideal at all given what happened last year.

We’ll see how many weeks it takes to get him into single figures.

Hopper back V dees would be handy.

That list is as trustworthy as the cfl these days

 

[beema limapep]

We have the equal longest I jury list in the comp.

And considering we are always playing funny buggers with our list, I'm pretty confident it will be easily the worst.

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

Anyone the deal with the fawcett tap?.... Something doesn't seem right with this kid.

 

[THE_GUN]

I didnt see Matty Coulthard / Judson Clarke on these lists but dont hear much about him playing VFL

Rate these boys highly and hope they plays soon

 

[TigerImposter]

Trezise seems to be around the same time back as when it was first assessed.
