Injury Walsh's Injury Updates

[jmac70]

I don't know how it could be justified given his output over the last five or so years. It's been comical.

Not sure “comical” is the correct word.

Let’s look at the positive. If we make say the second week of finals the only players who are no chance are Dunn and Goldsack.

Sure will be tough but again it can be done look at the dogs.

Hopefully Elliot and Moore can get back within the next month.

You are right. Farcical is a better description.

I’m sensing empathy isn’t a trait you believe in much.

 

[Adz]

So has Reid just been sitting around for the past 6 weeks and they decide surgery is needed know.

It's my strongest. How can a simple analysis of the benefits of keeping a player on our list when his body cannot be trusted be considered to be lacking in empathy? I suppose you raise your voice in outrage every time a fine individual is delisted from our club at the end of each season. Maybe our club should take a different course and just keep the nicest or most injury prone players on our list in the future.

Surely Reid gets delisted at the end of the year.

I agree. Hasn't been a significant contributor for 5 years after 1 good season in 2011. His body simply isn't up to the rigors of AFL.

And how can be sitting in the stands recovering from his injuries for the past 6 weeks for them to suddenly decide to opt for surgery on both knees. Sure they would have recognised this issue earlier and put him in 6 weeks ago?

Be very lucky to see him again this year.

You said his output has been comical/farcical. How do you think Reid feels about that?

I think he'd agree.

 

[jmac70]

I think he'd agree.

I reckon you’ll find he has done everything possible to get his body right, and that the opinion of an armchair expert is pretty disrespectful.

The decision to extend his contract was probably wrong but it’s poor to criticise his output as comical.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Just going to vent my frustration that the media is going all "JUST IN" or "BREAKING NEWS" regarding Ben Reid as we speak, even though it was revealed last night. Further, they all talk about "ANOTHER PIE INJURY BLOW" but neglect to say anything about how we're getting Moore back, and are expecting Elliott, Fasolo and Aish back next week.

Stop it. It was a throwaway line about the laughable (as in being on the verge of an hysterical breakdown) output we have got from Reid and others. Of course he would be frustrated-that's a given, but his frustration would be softened by his hefty pay cheque whereas I don't get that compensation. I just see a constantly decimated team missing very good players year in year out and a subsequent lack of finals action. Time waits for no man. I could depart this mortal coil at any moment. Now is all that matters in the end when you are a passionate footy fan.

Its the Collingwood way.

 

[domus]

Exciting news. He might get "a look" at the end of the season. This really lifts ones spirits.

I can't be happy about their touted returns because we have been badly bitten too many times. If they come through unscathed and get through a few weeks I might start to believe they can make a difference. It's just words at the moment.

 

[loki04]

Reid signed a one-year deal..... I sincerely hope its towards the lower end of the spectrum $$$ wise.

Which you'd assume it is.

Hopefully they paid him enough to afford yeah yeah Hair hair treatment with Warney and also buy him a razor for that roadkill on his face.

 

[MyManLynch]

Ben Reid will be our September specialist...

No chance Domus…….sorry to deflate your spirits again.

'I CAN'T SEE WHY I CAN'T GET BACK': TRELOAR

Kate Salemme

STAR Collingwood midfielder Adam Treloar says he can't see how he won't return to the field this season despite undergoing surgery to repair one of his injured hamstrings last week.

Treloar suffered tendon damage to his left hamstring and injured his right hamstring in the same incident against Carlton in Round 14.

He has undergone successful surgery and is expected to be sidelined for at least two months.

Treloar is in a race against time to be fit to play again this season and help Collingwood's finals campaign and premiership push.

But the gun onballer hasn't given up hope.

"The way I'll attack my rehab will be very diligent and I'll make sure I do it the best I can to try and give myself the best opportunity to play," Treloar said.

"The way sport science is nowadays and the way we're doing everything, I can't see why I can't get back.

"I've just got to make sure it's all smooth-sailing and hopefully I can come back.

"I've got all the hope in the world that I will be back playing (this year)."

The Magpies have had another wretched run with injuries this year. Lynden Dunn is out for the season after tearing his ACL against Gold Coast on Saturday night and Daniel Wells will also miss the rest of the year alongside Tyson Goldsack (knee) and Tim Broomhead (leg).

Darcy Moore, Jamie Elliott, Alex Fasolo, Ben Reid and James Aish have also missed extended periods.

Treloar is walking unaided but with a limp and says he's "feeling good".

"The first few days it was really hard to walk as you can imagine given it's both hammies I've hurt," he told Fox Sports News.

"It's doing really good. Obviously I'm walking at the moment and I can't wait to be back in next week with the stitches coming out."

Back him in

Great move to get Reid up and running

Great option if fit and ready

Games in the bank give us a chance to finish strong

 

[loki04]

My worry with Treloar is he tries too hard to get back, over does it and ends up re-injuring it.

He would've been if he hadn't gone and seen the July specialist.
