It won't happen because someone else will be subbed off by quarter time.
he was probably waiting in line to be diagnosed for days. Physio is too busy
That's his 3rd injury this season and it's still only May. Dud player and made out of marshmellow.
Thank **** xon is out.
Mop
Not anymore
He may be not up to grade, but he's not 20 goals against the bottom placed side bad.

Very light session this morning with only 13 players doing the usual walk/jog lap warm up to begin with whilst the WAFL 9 from yesterday just walked laps
Other players wandered out intermittently as the session progressed but they largely stayed at the far end of the ground so were hard to pick up - especially since many of them were wearing big freeze beanies
Things of some note -
• Sheed didn’t do laps but was involved in some later drills and showed no signs of favouring his injured leg/ankle
• McGovern did the initial laps. Looked untroubled, albeit at a modest pace, and just as trim as he did pre-injury. Don’t think he’s far off - Adelaide game maybe a chance
• SPS joined the lap brigade halfway through, did the drills and a small amount of fitness work at the end. Like Gov doesn’t look far off a return
• Shuey was an observer only restricted to doing some handball stuff
• Burgiel looked a bit bigger in the upper arms/shoulders than I recall from earlier in the season
That’s about it

The West reported Barrass did a lot of set-shot work?

He was one of several players at the club rooms end that I wasn’t really watching - they’ve got their long range cameras to help pick players out as well
And players not really training will often just be kicking at goal so that may or may not be relevant
Yet another very long term lower leg/ankle injury.
I don't know how it compares to other clubs or if it's just confirmation bias, but it sure seems like we've had a heap of them since relocating to MRP.

Didn’t he get injured in Launceston last week?
Indeed. But my pet theory for a causal link between MRP/Optus and lower leg injuries is that training and playing on sub-optimal surfaces is making our players more susceptible to lower leg injuries.
Essentially there's sustained stress on ligaments, muscles, bones, which accumulates until serious injury occurs.
But unlike some of the more esteemed doctor scientist geniuses on here, I'm just guessing.
Well I guess we would need some sort of data or facts. I am guess ing by sub-optimal you mean harder - which is measurable.Indeed.

As an aside, iirc someone mentioned on a podcast recently that West Coast flew in a fancy turf specialist from the east coast for Lathlain. Whereas Freo and I believe OS went local.
The assertion was that our guy maybe wasn't as familiar with WA conditions.
I thought that was the most compelling evidence I've heard for our training facilities being a unique factor in our crisis.

Didn't someone in this very thread say this too?

Or more likely Ishmael_ is misremembering the whole podcast thing and just read it in this thread?
For what it's worth a quick google found me some studies showing a causal link between playing on astroturf and an increase in lower leg injuries (US obviously), so it's not crazy to think playing and training on harder surfaces would have similar results.

Plus the astroturf we have in the big indoor training shed. But I don't recall clusters of injuries in 2019?

As always, luck plays a part
Liam Ryan in round 3 2018 was the first time I even heard the word syndesmosis.

lol I think you might have caught this lyin ass white boy.
I was so sure I heard that audibly, like on a podcast. Memory is a funny thing.
Well, I guess I'm back on the curse theory.
