Injury Report - Season 2024

[prodigy]

Dion Prestia, hamstring

"Dion was going for a ground ball late in the first quarter and hurt his hamstring. Follow up scans have unfortunately showed significant damage. It's looking like a long-term injury for Dion, we're looking at an 8-10 week period of him being out."

Josh Gibcus, knee

"Terrible luck for Josh. He had to learn a lot of lessons last year of mental toughness and resilience. Josh is going to have surgery tomorrow (Thursday) to repair his ACL and he's going to miss the rest of this season. We're really confident that Josh will get a full preparation going in the next year, so the timing is not bad from that point of view. Josh is going to need a lot of support from his family and the Club, which he'll get. We're looking forward to seeing him again next year."


Tylar Young, concussion protocols

"Tylar was in a contest late in the second quarter and knocked his head. He was consequently checked and was given the all clear, and then over the half-time period developed symptoms. He's gone into concussion protocols and he'll miss this week. We'll make an assessment later in the week to see how he is for the following week."

Jack Graham, quad

"(He's going) really well. Jack's now completed some top-end sprinting and has almost completed his kicking progressions. He'll drip-feed back into some group skills next week and we're looking at another week or two before he's back available."

Liam Fawcett, back

"Liam had a scan a couple of days ago which showed some really good progress with his back oedema. We're looking at around about a month's time having another follow up scan to hopefully progress him back into running."

Mate Colina, back

"(He's) on a pretty similar timeline (to Fawcett). He had a follow up scan the other day and things are progressing well. He's probably in similar boat to Liam, in around about a month looking to get going again."

Dion's soft tissue is literally as week as tissue paper. If I were him I'd pull up stumps. His body just can't take any level of intensity.

 

[Tiger2709]

Now we've lost Hopper and Broad as well, but at least it gives the kids a chance to show us what they can do

 

[_RT_]

Jacob Hopper, knee

"(Hopper) pulled up quite sore after the Carlton game (Round 1). We thought we would give him every chance to be available for Port Adelaide, but as the week progressed, it became clear after a scan that he needed an arthroscope on his knee. He's looking like missing around about four weeks."

Nathan Broad, calf soreness

"Similar to (Hopper), Nathan was a little bit sore post-game against Carlton and as the week progressed, it just became too risky to play him. We're really confident he'll be available this week."

Maurice Rioli, back

"'MJ' hurt his back during the first warm up. It's on the minor side, we're pretty confident he will be available this week."

Tylar Young, concussion protocols

"Tylar's feeling really good. He's going to train fully this week and be available (for the Sydney game)."

James Trezise, ankle

"(The incident happened) halfway through the third quarter. James is actually quite lucky he didn't snap his leg. He's suffered a moderate syndesmosis injury. He's in a moon boot now and he'll progress into running in a couple of weeks' time and be available in around about a month."

Jack Graham, quad

"Jack's going to join in some drills this week, and it's looking like Gather Round back in Adelaide will be when Jack returns."

Josh Gibcus, knee

"From all reports (his ACL surgery went) really well. He's already starting to set goals, and he's looking forward to getting back into the Club and attacking his rehab."

Dion Prestia, hamstring

"Dion's going really well. He's running, he's actually as determined as I've ever seen him to return. Things are looking good and we can't wait to see him back out there."

Mainly good news but a shame for Trezise and a bit annoying about Hopper, hopefully they get him spot on to return around a month from now.

Hardly Meehans fault that Hopper has a sore knee and Trezise leg got caught up under an opponent.

Hopper's knee already out from "a couple of weeks" to 4-6. I wish our club would be more transparent with injuries. Others do it a lot better.

 

[Coach_Required]

Injuries suck at the best of times but the fact it's now starting to hit our younger players is shitting me the most.

 

[WheelAndDeal]

Meehan the butcher hard at it again, this bloke does not stop!!!!

Hardly Meehans fault that Hopper has a sore knee and Trezise leg got caught up under an opponent.

Don't you know? it's ALWAYS meehans fault.

Reading the write up, it’s clear that 2 games in 5 days to start the season is the culprit behind the injuries. What a dumb piece of scheduling, putting the players at risk going from zero to full blast. AFL house ****ed us from before season start

AFL house preseason when doing our fixture.

 

[Sol23]

**** Meehan off. He’s a joke!!

 

[Groupie_]

Hardly Meehans fault that Hopper has a sore knee and Trezise leg got caught up under an opponent.

they sent tresize back out now hes out for a month+

same thing they did to big sexy last year

 

[beema limapep]

At least they'll get the players back fit and injury free in good time....

 

[sante]

Don't you know? it's ALWAYS meehans fault.

I thought it was the umpires fault

 

[tigersab]

I thought it was the umpires fault

Umpire Meehan perhaps?

 

[blaisee]

Only good thing about Meehan is that he will guarantee us a top 4 draft pick

Tom Lynch out for the season is coming soon

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Does anyone know what type of back injury Fawcett has.
He’s on the LTI list, so obviously it’s serious.
Maybe x2 mid season draft picks. Fingers crossed there’s a good KPF available

 

[TigerImposter]

Trezise was brilliant in the first half and I couldn’t work out what was going on as some posters were saying he was subbed out and then he mysteriously appeared again to the dismay of most of the posters on the game day thread.
What a shocking decision as they explain in the injury report above the severity of his accident and then they throw him back on . I can’t believe how incompetent our medicos and fitness staff have all become. In actual fact it’s basically throughout the club now as nobody seems to care anymore.

(The incident happened) halfway through the third quarter. James is actually quite lucky he didn't snap his leg. So let’s send him back on rather than subbing him out.

There should never have been a round zero. Blues made a Prelim last year and got the bye last round. We finished 13th last year and cop Swans and Saints next 2 weeks. Nobody can convince me there's not an agenda in the corridors of AFL House. Reminds me of the American senate. Corrupt to the core.

So it’s fine for Melbourne and Pies and Swans but not us? Maybe look at the fixture before going on a rant. We aren’t the only club in this position

He's got an oedema in his back. Basically a build up of fluid. Could potentially related to the glandular fever episode? Anyhoo it's better than being a structural issue.

They said last week he's about a month off returning to some sort of training.

Lynch had a broken foot. Syndesmosis is always at least a month out so they obviously jabbed him up, taped it, and set him back out there knowing it won't become any worse. He finished pretty well too.
