Injury 2015 Injury Update Thread

Least its nothing to do with the knee, oh wait where do the tibia/fibula meet

As tempting as it is to assume the worst given his injury history, let's just wait and see re Tippett. Maybe they are telling the truth for once.

I believe the medical term for that injury is BullshitExhibitionGame-itis

I saw him with a massive bandage around his knee though a few days ago on Fox Sports News.

Likewise, but given he played the intraclub match I would think this really is a new injury and one that isn't serious but one they aren't going to risk him in the NAB Challenge over. If it was Round 1 this week would be an interesting question over if he plays

His knee is Paper mache.

In all seriousness its not his fault but i don't think he has a long career ahead of him.

Tippett, or Buddy? Swansfan51 was talking about Buddy missing the Indigenous All Stars game.

Saying he is on track for Rd 1 puts that assumption to bed don't you think ? Rd 1 2016 maybe ? Or Rd 1 NEAFL ? As if they are going to play him Rd 1 at AFL Level with a hit and giggle outing at Marrickville as his only lead in.

When it comes to Bullshitting to it's supporters over injuries to players the Swans are untouchable. Mark my words this will be another Days of Our Lives Soap Opera with Tippett sitting on his arse for an extended period and again contributing little or nothing to the season.

Over him.

Adelaide supporters welcome to contribute to the thread and laugh your arses off.

cinderella man the risk recruiting him from Adelaide was his much publicized concussion issues not anything relating to knee injuries (correct me if im wrong mate)

He still hasn't recovered from the Carlton semi in 2013 where he first injured it.

Very good point. He was basically injury free in 2013.

 

[swansfan51]

He's excellent value for money - not even paid twice as much as Sam Reid, but contributes 3 to 4 times as much

Mate if you and anybody else that follows the Club are happy with what he has contributed since he has been at the Club, what he is getting payed for that contribution and what it cost to get him in terms of missing half a season through suspension then knock yourself out. It's your right to do so. Mine is to think his recruitment to the club is a vaudeville comedy.

Buddy. I imagine the footage was recent as Buddy was almost bald and I have not seen him with that style of hair before.

What i meant was attacking the club over his recruitment based on unforeseen circumstances is a bit unfair i would be in total agreement with you if he got a head injury and was forced to retire as that's the risk we took knowing another serious concussion could force him into retirement.

But the injury with his knees is just bad luck as i dont believe dodgy knees was on his resume.

No issues with that, but it's a bit of a long bow to draw to say he'll contribute "little or nothing" in 2015 based on the evidence so far, in my opinion. If he has another injury-riddled season this year then by all means declare the recruitment a failure. I don't think we're at that point yet, but I accept what you are saying about his contribution relative to what it cost to get him.

Very frustrating with tippett. However the fact that he has trained the entire pre season and been playing in ruck leads me to think his knees are capable of standing up.... this latest setback could purely be a knock in a game of footy

 

[RW]

I think we do need that Tippett poll.

It's not the same knee.

Well there goes that knee

No but having more complaints than the Women's Hospital obviously was.

Good to hear most of the senior players will be playing in the NAB challenge, there are 16 spots in the round 1 side up for grabs

22 surely

Not really

4 players gave enough of a s**t in the Grand Final to command a spot without question (Franklin, Kennedy, Goodes, Pyke)
2 players are co-captains

The other 16 - go for your lives
