Injury SJOGHCIU 2022

[Cuzz09]

I feel like no one has had a good run since the flag.

I think all our supporters "prayers" on GF day came true

"Please God let us win I don't care if we're shit for years!"

Petch’s hamstring injuries:
2019: 2 weeks
2020: 9 weeks
2021: 2 week, 2 weeks, 1 week
2022: 4 weeks out, 2 weeks out, now 2-3 weeks

That’s eight separate incidents in four seasons resulting in 24-25 games missed.

 

[The wily weagle]

I think, and this is merely by observation and i may be incorrect, is that guys like Petch and Shuey are at least in part experiencing these recurrent hamstring injuries due to their running position

If you watch them run, they tend to run very hunched (its more pronounced in Shuey). That results in too much pressure going into the forefoot, and then by extension, into the calf and the hamstring

Cyril Rioli had the exact same problem with the exact same hamstring/calf issues. Hawthorns solution was to check him biomechanically via film analysis, and then, completely alter his running style and foot position

Once that was done, he had barely any trouble since

The playing surface at Optus undoubtedly wouldn't be helping in this regard either

Yeah, I think the playing surface at Optus excuse can get thrown out the window now considering Fremantle have had hardly any injuries this year.

Meanwhile our team be like "Meh, send him back out there, what's the worst that could happen?"

 

[Carbine Chaos]

If a hammy keeps going it says just as much as the medical staff/player management as it does the player’s legs.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

“One of the few that will miss” sounds like there’s more than just Petch and Culley out.

 

[Cuzz09]

Patch's hammer will hinder his explosive pace which is really his main asset.

Trade while worth something?

He's got the hammies of a 32+ year old...

 

[SloppyJoe]

Re Petch, I've no doubt there is a decent player there. It all depends on if he/we can get his body right.

Unfortunately, it isn't looking great at present.

Its disgusting that the medical/strength/conditioning team is so inept

You cannot function as a sporting organisation and expect success if your playing list is consistently injured and cannot get on the park.

Draft picks/tactics/game day match ups what's the point ??? if your players cannot play due to being injured ??

West Coast for to long has not had the heat put on them for this....it needs to change

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Petch is fast, decent shot on goal, good overhead mark which differentiates him from others contending for his spot. Match committee has him in the best 22.

Frustrating as all hell he keeps breaking down.

Imagine if we go into 2023 with no changes to the medical and strength and conditioning teams?

 

[DanWCE]

I wonder if Shuey engaged an external consultant for his own issues? He's on a streak of games played that hasn't been bested since he went through 2019 basically not missing a game. So his best turn out of consecutive games in 3 seasons.

So about 3 in a row then yeah

11 if he pulls on the boots this weekend.

Yeah, talk about putting the jinx on him.

Just tongue in cheek from me. But that 11 in a row has really crept up.

I thought so too. We have been better since the bye which is when Shueys played the bulk of his games. One of those intangibles having the Captain out there.

Or, you know, having your better players out there helps.

Yes we have a million issues with the team/club right now, but the biggest reason imo for our season going to shit has been our availability.

 

[Doashuey]

Imagine if we go into 2023 with no changes to the medical and strength and conditioning teams?

Then imagine we have a sustained run with no injuries for a couple of years!

This board would not know which way was up or down.

I refuse to believe that we are so completely inept that, at a board level, this hasn't been recognized. We actually have some very intelligent people running the club and some good business brains in charge

Its why we persist with our medical/high performance team that concerns me. I can only assume that we are operating under the old mates act and "jobs for the boys"; its the only answer i have as to why we are continually tolerating ineptitude in these areas, year after year

From memory, hasn't our current fitness boss been at the club like 12-13 years? That's a great thing to list on his CV, but we need to move him on
Ditto our entire medical team

Annoyingly we have the cash and the resources, we should have the best medical and high performance team that money can buy

When we start year after year with a quarter of our list outright injured and another quarter on heavily modified programs, something has to give

Credit will go to the assistant coaches.
