Injury The OFFICIAL Injury Updates thread - 2 weeks

[Makeshift Park]

So do I have this right:

• Zurhaar and Corr looking likely for round one.
• Tucker and Wardlaw looking likely for managed VFL minutes from round two.
• McKay and CCJ - no one has any bloody idea

 

[The Nostradamus]

So only blokes not available for selection this weekend and not playing vfl tomorrow
Wardlaw
Mckay
Thomas (playing vfl but not available for selection)
CCJ
Mahony

And obviously George out all year

 

[The Nostradamus]

how many weeks is a syndesmosis usually?

 

[andana]

Six to eight on the conservative side. Often can have on going pain

mckay and wardlaw both expected to play around a half in vfl this week

but x now added to the above list

surely we have a vague timeframe on CCJ by now?

Where you heard this about mckay?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Where you heard this about mckay?

he mentioned it in his podcast and on radio and was also in the wardlaw article today in his thread for reference

think McKay is targeting good friday afl return against his brother after 2 vfl games

I believe that was in reference to Wardlaw playing a half. Mckay still no timeline on his return.

CCJ spoke in the Social Club on Saturday and from memory said he was hopefully resuming running this week but was still 4-5 weeks away from returning.

Interestingly he also said he was a "pure forward" now, albeit this was before the injury to X.

That’s also interesting as CCJ came to us seeking more time in the ruck.

[year of the roo]

I have some free advice for CCJ, you're not a pure forward.

 

[The Nostradamus]

CCJ will be the perfect second ruck/pinch hit forward for us.

We didn't have that player in round 1, greenwood had to be the second ruck but that should be his role going forward

What is it with this "over ground running". As opposed to what, under ground running? below ground running? in ground running??

 

[Devington]

What is it with this "over ground running". As opposed to what, under ground running? below ground running? in ground running??

I assume the Alter G treadmill would be the alternative, the one which simulates running with lower gravity so that less pressure is applied everywhere.

yeah, I was being facetious, I realise they mean the alternative to Alter G, but if they just said "running" I reckon most people would correctly take it to mean running on the ground or outdoors.

 

[Rod Stroker]

"Tucker still pretty stiff and sore at the minute".

Doesn't sound like he'll playing seniors any time soon

 

[The Nostradamus]

I believe that was in reference to Wardlaw playing a half. Mckay still no timeline on his return.

McKay today also mentioned on 9 that he’s hopeful to be back good friday
Which I’m assuming means he plays vfl next week

Like this lrish fella.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Good that Dawson and Edwards have pulled up well would still like the vfl team to bring in one of keogh or tucker as an extra tall though

Based on that I reckon Tucker is a big chance to play seniors this week.

yeah has played 2 vfl games now and looks a class above

That’s the best injury report we’ve had in years. One bloke a week away, the others all playing.
