Injury SJOGHCIU - Offseason Edition

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Does that mean Hedwards is in the 22?

Think that makes us too tall tbh.

Didn't give anything away on that front. Just said he was ok.

Said Petch and Culley are playing, not sure why so secretive with the rest but narrows it down

Latest injury report from the airport

Jake Waterman had his foot run over in the car park, set to miss a couple of weeks.
Jack Darling caught the wrong plane and has subsequently been trafficked to North Korea, could take a few months to get him back.
Bailey Williams' head went through the bulkhead of the overhead baggage compartment when standing up at the end of the flight, though has passed the concussion test and will be available.
Jai Culley copped an elbow injury from a passing terminal buggy, though is expected to play with his arm raised and in a cast.
Noah Long was taken in by the AFP after being seen walking alone, they're currently trying to return him to his guardian.
Sharrod Wellingham was jumping on the luggage conveyor and fell off, has been delisted.
Andrew Gaff's pant leg got caught in the escalator and he was completely minced, may miss a week.

Sclongy would have got through if Willie was still playing the AFP would have been too busy searching that campaigners bags.

Heard Nic Nat may have picked up a tummy bug from the Bain-Marie wasn’t playing anyway so no loss.

And another one gone

And another one gone

**** me.

 

[Goroyals22]

* me.

Hardly upsetting the last player on our list getting injured.

This surely has to be the worst injury run over an 18 month period in the history of the AFL? At what point do we stop saying this is bad luck?

It is bad luck, absolutely

That this has gone on for years and we have retained almost all the same key people in the same posts, and its still going on, is nothing more then a freak coincidence

But never fear, if we keep giving the same team enough goes and getting this right and close our eyes and hope really, really hard that things change, they might

You know, we could of course just sack everyone and try new people because they really couldn't do any worse, but tenure and stability and credits are very important things, far more so then the solving problems, chasing excellence, and having a consistently healthy squad to choose from every week

Two long serving people left our S&C department over the off season and we recruited a very well credentialed replacement from Ireland who had extensive experience at Sydney. So it’s not like personnel weren’t changed and the whole program was revamped

It’s well documented that prior to the derby we only had a handful of injuries which included Naitanui with his troublesome Achilles and Jack Williams spleen injury

We’ve had a bad run since then, the majority of which have been collision injuries- not all, but most

But don’t let facts bother you

Indeed it will take a year or two to reap any benifits of a revised s&c program

 

[Goroyals22]

Perhaps he wasn’t ok after all

[BeornJ]

I think we need to close this thread.

It's just inviting injuries

 

[archiemoses]

Lol we are almost in top up territory

 

[wirra44]

It’s actually so embarrassing has there ever been a team in the last 20years that has had this many injuries in 2-3 years I would love to see that statistics and surely it can’t just be all rotten luck

Article says Winder has a knee injury - not a hamstring as mentioned in the Woodchuck tweet I posted yesterday

I feel a TBC coming on

Surely we’re going the tank.

Surely we’re going the tank.

If Yeo and Allen get a mystery season ending injury then perhaps

 

[Godfather32]

Surely we’re going the tank.

Tanking by going around breaking players arms is certainly taking it to a new level

We are cursed

Bloody hell…

Surely Bazzo has to come in at some point in the next few weeks, as long as he’s got his fitness base up to a decent enough level.

Probably owed Nisbett $5 for a coffee 2 weeks ago and Trev had to take matters into his own hands.

 

[Feeling Groovy]

There are several issues going on in my view. We have retained older players who are injury prone. That is on list management. Not arguing the merits or otherwise those decisions but that’s not really on S&C and medical.

We have had numerous contact injuries. That is clearly bad luck/ the nature of the game.

We have made some arguably questionable medical decisions on putting clearly injured players back on the field during games. That’s on coaches and medical but not sure we are in a position to second guess them without all the facts. That said, on face value and in hindsight, some of those decisions look very questionable at best.

A bit hard to judge the new S&C team/ approach at this early stage but they got most players on the park round 1 in good condition (apart from the older injury prone players).
