Reid Injury - Calf

[The Magnificent Seven]

Oh boo hoo. If he plays and plays poorly it'll be like 'Why did we rush him back in'. Stuff happens all the time during training drills, even with innocuous physical clashes or running.

Not sure why not playing Reid is somehow equivalent to losing our entire year. Surprised half the posters here haven't torn a quadricep with all the severe knee-jerking going on.

In his career he has never gone through one season with out breaking down. Harden the **** up Ben.

Maybe "Harden the **** up" should replace "Side By Side" as our new motto
I'd like to see Bucks and Eddie use it at the end of every interview

Bad news, the club forgot to cook it through properly. So now Reid's calf is even more brittle.

Dammit, dont our medical staff understand "Al Dente?"

Theres clearly an issue with Bens physical makeup

 

[jathanas]

From this day forth the CFC must embrace Rule No. 5!

He could be to top heavy causing the lower body injuries, it is probably genetics Sam has also had a bad run with soft tissue injuries

Definitely time to buy some hard ones. Odd that it's the soft ones giving him trouble, I make too much mess when I use hard ones!

Do you give Lynch a run or keep Witts in the side in this instance?

Keep Witts

The club needs a external review into its medical dept and it soft tissue injury mangement.its been deplorable for 3 seasons now.

9 week hamstrings? Yep, it really is Nathan Buckley's team now...

 

[Pies_10]

Isn't this the third time recently he has had a problem with calfs?
Worrying if true calf injuries don't really go away.

wont be a popular opinion here, but the evidence continues to mount up. Buckley is driving these players into the ground. too many "coincidences"

His legs are made of paper and the rest of him is made of glass.

Result of Mick driving them into the ground from all those years.

Of the injury list posted by MagpieBat only 2 of the 9 players were at the club when Malthouse was still there - Reid & Paul Seedsman (2011 was only his first year). The rest are new recruits or draftees. I'll assume your post was tongue in cheek

Had a calf strain late last year and I couldnt run for 8 weeks. You feel like you are right to go, jog around the house and cant feel anything. Then you hit the turf and it feels like a gold ball is in your calf.

I say ANZAC Day is a more realistic time frame for his return.

Why do you assume we don't do that at the end of every year?

 

[OniAu]

Lesson for next years last praccy match. Play the fringe players , rest the top 10 locks so we get the best team on the park from t he get go

 

[TheycallmeBruce]

Whats hard to understand is why B Reid was put through a fitness test for round 1? If he'd done his calf, even a minor strain against the gold coast then he shouldn't be fitness tested after only 10 days rest. Calf is 4-6 week injury. Clear example of mismanagement.

Funny. I thought Davoren was a fitness guy now.

Didn't Reid nick something before the 2011 QF and came back undone and underprepared. I guess Bucks was the assistant coach then and also ran the fitness side of things.

He jogged around the boundary with White. Hardly 'clear example of mismanagement'.

Is this some cryptic insight into our tall timber?

I imagine it would all depend of on the grade of the strain / tear? as to the time frame for his return.
