Just a question. Is this season really happening?

Let's cross our fingers and hope this is manageable. To play it safe, I think the surgery needs to be done ASAP.

"Carlton football manager Steven Icke said the club followed specialist advice suggesting Kreuzer be allowed to train and play until symptoms presented, after involving the club's own doctor, and stressed the condition was separate to the knock to the hip that kept Kreuzer out of Thursday night's season opener against Richmond."
The key to the article...
at the end of the day he could play his entire career and not have anything wrong...
additionally should things go wrong them 6-12 weeks off at the end of a year isnt as bad as it sounds...

Gee that's a bit of a shock.
I know a young kid who suffered from that very same condition.He was a brilliant soccer player.
Unfortunately as this was about 5 years ago and was undetected,he is in a real bad way now,so straight in for surgery for Kruezer and knock it on the head surely!

Surely, if there's any chance of it affecting him long term then we've got to act straight away. Half a season, or whatever it might be in his first year of footy and have him 100% after that will be a much better result than him potentially breaking down later in his career and being seriously hampered by a hip injury for the remainder of it.

Doctors always prefer to go the non-surgical route with a patient first. If Kreuzer is able to play without the problem flaring up, there is absolutely no need to send him in for surgery. The club has made the right move in adopting a "wait and see" approach.
The article states that specialist advice suggested Kreuzer be allowed to train & play until the symptoms presented & that the club would keep a close eye on him & act only when the symptoms presented. From what I can make out, no symptoms have presented, so therefore he is right to keep playing at this stage. I also note the article states that pre-emptive surgery was risky, so you wouldn't send him in for surgery until it was necessary.
Lets not jump at shadows here .
They are monitoring it..And I have faith in the clubs medical experts knowing how to handle such a condition.
"stressed the condition was separate to the knock to the hip that kept Kreuzer out of Thursday night's season opener against Richmond."
His current injury is unrelated so i see no need for panic just yet .

The actual quote was:
He said the club never considered sending the teenager for pre-emptive surgery, which was risky, but would keep a close eye on him and act only when he presented symptoms.
It's not very clear - it could mean that surgery is risky, or that not considering pre-emptive surgery was risky - I'm thinking the second makes more sense.
Also, my main concern is how quickly will they be able to pick up on the symptoms. If there is any chance whatsoever that damage could be done before the doctors realize there is something wrong, then surgery would have to be the best option. However, I have faith in the doctors and the club, and surely they wouldn't risk him if that were the case.

Pleasing to note the hip expert agrees with the club's decision to keep Kreuzer out of the operating theatre, but I would imagine as soon as he suffers any symptoms they will send him off for surgery straight away.

Makes me feel a little better knowng that the specialist agreed with the course of action that the club has taken.

Leave it to the experts I guess. But a real shame. He promises so much so whatever they do I hope they do it right. Shame Krezer and Cotchin both yet to get into the action. Was one of the things I was looking forward to, watching the two compete for rookie of the year
