Tredders Injured

[russellthemuscle]

Treds has popped left knee cap against Bris,they said at worst could miss 4-6 weeks.

 

[Groove]

Terrible news for tredders, but he does have good recuperative powers. There seems to be a growing trend for our captains being injured.

Tredrea dislocates kneecap

Warren Tredrea, Port Adelaide's captain and champion centre half-forward, has dislocated his left kneecap and might be out of football for at least a month.

Tredrea fell on the knee in a goalmouth contest at the 15-minute mark of the second quarter in the Power's NAB Challenge match against the Brisbane Lions at AAMI Stadium on Saturday.

He stayed down, clearly in some pain, then limped from the field - initially with the help of trainers before he walked unaided around the boundary line, still with a limp.

He went straight to the dressing room where he was examined immediately by Port's medical officers, who were reluctant to forecast how long Tredrea could be sidelined, preferring to wait until the injury had cooled down and aware his kneecap had popped back in again.

Tredrea was insisting he would still be available for Port's round-one match against the Kangaroos at AAMI Stadium on Saturday, April 1 - three weeks away.

He has dislocated both kneecaps twice previously

He is the strongest, fittest and most determined one........he will be back for Round 1, no sweat!!

Last time he did it in the PS cup, he came back early against Essendon. It was the game where know alls Brereton and Walls were talking about how Tredrea needed to work harder etc. Friggin dills.

EDIT: It was also Lockwood's last real hurrah for us IIRC.
Double EDIT: Obviously I am thinking of 2001

You'll like this: In today's Age, Walls was the only one of all the pundits who has us in the eight. rolleyes indeed.

He'll be there Round 1.......anyone else I be suspect about it.......but not Tredders, the man is a machine.......A perfect machine!!!

 

[spookism]

Not a good start to the season, but coulda been worse, if he only misses Round 1 or so!

 

[Mailman]

yep, that'll do........i love tredders

 

[Wishinman]

If he misses games it might be a blessing in disguise. The team will learn to play through other players like White, Pettigrew etc.
From listening to todays radio call, it sounded as though White revelled in Tredreas absence. Hopefully White will gain confidence and cement his spot before Tredrea returns.
But Choco will probably play Chad at CHF
Still not an ideal start to a season, but when have we ever had one.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Provided tredders doesnt come up Chad to lead us out round one or wilbur/?

Hoping it doesnt come back to that however !!

That would be a 100% benefit.
The team has been too Tredrea centric for far too long now.

Not sure if this is right.

1998 Right knee dislocation v Carlton, missed 5 games.
2001 Left knee dislocation v Syd in 2nd week of Ansett cup, missed 5 weeks, played Rd 2.
2003. Right knee dislocation v Adl 1st week of Wizard cup. Has arthroscopy, misses 4 weeks plays in Rd 1.

It all depends on what MRI shows and if he needs an arthroscopy, but I doubt he will be ready to go in a fortnight for Rd 1. Hope I'm wrong but history suggests unlikely to be ready.

Absolutely. When the big fella comes back have him wreak havoc as a wingman. Time for a conventional forward setup.

Excellent post. If this does happen it will bamboozle opposition coaches who have us pegged as a ' one trick pony ' and work very well to our advantage.
PAF you were correct, that match at Docklands in Round 2 2001 was tragically, Bowen Lockwood's last game for us. He retired mid season that year. Recall running into him and his brother at Bells Hotel just after that at an aftermatch function and got a pretty hirrific description of the reason for his retirement.

Not from a disloacted knee cap he wont especially as he has injured it in the past I would expect him not to return till at least Rnd 3.

That's pretty much what they said on the radio too.

From where I was sitting you couldnt really tell what happened when he went down. All I knew is that the umpires stopped the game for the stretcher to come out on the field. Tredders didnt need or want it and walked off and went straight down the race.

All we knew is that during the half time break that made the announcement that he dislocated his knee.

Bugga, that number is jinxed

He went up for a contest with 2 Lions and another Port player (possibly White but not sure) and clashed with said Power player. As soon as the trainers reached him they immediately signalled for the stretcher but Tredders decided he could walk off himself. We figured it was his kneecap as soon as it happened. Hope he is back as soon as possible but I do believe that Damon thrived in his absence. Could be a good sign for the future.

Thanx for that. We were sitting next to the interchange bench and with the ice mist machine there it made for hard viewing sometimes with the players standing in front of it cooling down.

After the initial 'Holy s@%#!' - this is what I thought as well.

Because we'll finally find out if White and/or Thurstans are up to it.

Besides, it's better to happen now than halfway through the season.

Was it his left this time? cause if its his left, now he would have done both knees twice ..right?

I hope they don't rush him back if he isn't ready. Need him in top shape, and it might give White some room to improve himself and work in the forward line like he did during this game! R3 looks good for tredders to come back!

 

[finbarr]

Just said on the radio that Tredrea underwent an arthroscopy this morning and he'll miss 3 - 5 weeks. Knowing Tredrea it'll be 3.

 

[PortProudWA]

No its not, its footy and these things happen.......could have been a dam site worse.....and if that is the case, is number 16 jinxed now for Pearcy seeing as though Tredders not only popped a knee a few times in that number, against carlton he really did some damage.

 

[Powerstufff]

.... is number 16 jinxed now for Pearcy .....

Deb I hope you don't show the eerie powers demonstrated by some of the other female posters here last year.
