Injury 2015 Injury Update Thread

[The King!]

Derickx had a crack last year. You can't fault the guy's endeavour.

Annoying about Aliir. Would be good for him to build on the positive start.

I quite like drex

That goal v Essendon sticks in my memory

AJ update, infection has gone and will be having LARS in 6-8 weeks.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hope this one works, although I am far from convinced on LARS

Worked for Malceski and Shaw.

Yes. However I'm far from convinced, although maybe I'm bias, my ex was a doctor (bless her lol)

 

[bedford]

How many Reco's or lars did she do ?

None, as I said, trust the Swans. They would be doing what is right for Alex no doubt whatsoever. I just prefer the normal reco that is all.

Good news.

I am past the football side of it with him. I just want the poor bugger to have "decent" knees going forward for life.

Any footy we get out of him is an absolute bonus.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

On the football side, say it is 8 weeks, is there any plan playing this year towards the back end, not talking firsts but in the NEAFL.

You would think they will take it one step at a time, get the surgery right, then start some rehab and assess as they go.

They are not even thinking about that, they just want to get it right

Fair enough, have avoided his injury updates, just gets me down, and I'd hate to know what Alex is feeling.

Imagine the roar when he makes it back onto the field.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Imagine the roar when he makes it back onto the field.

Even for the Twos. We should all get out there and support him.

Going to be awesome

I know people hate it when this thread is bumped, but it's not all bad news. Heeney's ankle injury wasn't serious, but he still may not play this Saturday.

Good to hear Lloyd Perris is on the comeback trail also.

No 4-6 week injuries thankfully

Pretty sure Lewis Melican has ceased to exist. RIP The Melicopter

 

[RW]

Sorry I misread that, he actually said no-one else was under an injury cloud. Have edited. I've been conditioned to fear the worst from these reports

I heard he is currently a prisoner in a North Korean labour camp.

So.... Not 4-6 weeks?

 

[swansfan51]

Fantastic news about Newman

 

[RUNVS]

6-8 weeks at least. He needs to be able to create a tunnel out of the camp while making sure the guards don't find it, then he has to travel across North Korea undetected and then somehow get across no mans land, one of the most heavily mined areas in the world, into South Korea. I think that will take him at least 6 weeks.

At least he has a chance.....4-6 is the one to avoid.

I heard he switched places with one of the Bali 9...
