Injury The OFFICIAL Injury Updates thread - 2 weeks

Waite and Turner. Hopefully the first one's a scare rather than a recurrence, but Sugar's is likely to keep him out way beyond his club imposed ban. As I said, we'll have to wait and see what's reported after each has been assessed.

Your sources are impeccable! Must be what you do when you 'running' late at night...

Maybe the question needs to be asked whether Waite should have played?

When I think our injuries could not get any worse, I am consistently proven wrong

Who is fitness guru @ The Crows? i just got told they only have 1 player on the injury list, could either be true, a malicious mistruth, possibly a lie, seeing it came from a Saints supporter.

Evening all.

Today a workmate with family links to the club including a a member of the game day crew said last weekend we played several sore/injured players in the ones ... and twos. Club not talking about it to avoid sounding like whingers. E.g. Majak played hobbled for Bees, was no chance to chop-out Goldi.

List is long ...

Upside: at least a few kids will be blooded (if they not all injured - word was some of them are playing sore/injured too in the twos).

Let's face it, worst case we can't drop below 11 or 12th, it's not that low in the draft. We might as well fight it out, see if we can jag another prelim...

Ah...... thanks, but no thanks. Another prelim loss would scar most of us for " ALL ETERNITY "
Draft picks please.

Yep, just one of the many weirdos I come across when nightcrawling on two wheels.

They have the healthiest list in the AFL by a mile and yeah one injury (not even best 22 either)

Kind of helps explain their streak of 8 in a row so far i guess.

 

[scottywiper]

Crows have played 28 players. Teams are so even fitness and squad health is a massive factor. We can cover 2-3 and in fact, IMO, have been doing a reasonable job covering 8-10. But you ain't going to win many games.

Interesting so his 14 disposal, 3 mark, 8 tackle , 24 hit out & one goal game under the circumstances wasn't half bad.

 

[Massive Unit]

Kayne Turner has apparently injured his "good" hammy according to Nick Bowen (Twitter). Will be 5 weeks out.

[Dodecahedron]

Fact: Lmac, Turner and Garner have 1 solitary good hammy between them.

 

[Grogg]

It goes without saying, but given the appallingly decimated list you would hope there is an extensive review of our fitness and recovery methods at seasons end.

Been mentioned before but the spate of hammy and specifically hammy tendon injuries clearly points at an overloading of associated muscles via training and preparation.

Think it was Meehan (who has since gone to the Nets) who was in charge of the loads/strength and conditioning over preseason but the whole area was overseen by Saunders.

Looks like the boys done goofed.

 

[muttley45]

Football Dept. needs to create and fill a new Position with the very best candidate ASAP..... "Hamstring injury prevention manager"

 

[Dirty_11]

Saunders to take a pay cut.

There's this bloke by the name of Dank that I've heard good things about and right on the cutting edge of sports science. Worth a look?

 

[Harris 10]

Has the extra work we did pre season to get ready for round 1 had an impact on our injuries?
Is it the reduction in rotations?
Have our medicos dropped the ball.

Or have we just been unlucky.

Whatever the reason it's pi$$ing me off.

Updated injury list (with apologies for the terrible copying from the AFL site)

No sign of Waitey. Benny J and Sammy W (allegedly) just 3 weeks away.

The scary bit though is that they all except Taylor Garner have to cross through the dreaded 2 week barrier.

Player Injury Estimated Return
Aaron Black Ankle 4 weeks
Taylor Garner Knee/hamstring 1 week
Shaun Higgins* Knee 4 weeks
Ben Jacobs Foot 3 weeks
Luke McDonald Hamstring 4 weeks
Farren Ray Hamstring 5 weeks
Kayne Turner Hamstring 5 weeks
Mason Wood Knee 7 weeks
Sam Wright Ankle 3 weeks

Wonder how come Taylor Garners Knee has suddenly entered the frame, hopefully a typo ?

 

[Horace]

And now just stated on SEN that Waitey pulled up very poorly after Saturday's game. Will be named but unlikely to play.

 

[tazaa]

Garner is technically 4 weeks away from AFL football. He'll need 3 weeks in VFL. His hammies are ****ed either way, similarly to Turner. I reckon they'll go again

Jacobs and Wright hopefully be back for round 22 game against Sydney. One VFL match and Two AFL games before finals to get them ready.

McDonald and Higgins seem touch and go. Cant have 4-5 underdone players in the team. Not holding out any confidence in seeing them back this year.

Put a fork thru Black, Ray, Turner and Wood. The latter is really disappointing but that's footy.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Why is there an * next to Higgins?

 

[Harris 10]

Last week Jacobs was listed as 2 to 3 weeks but a week on he's listed as 3 weeks.

I seriously think we are making this stuff up.
