Injury 2015 Injury Updates

[hayes]

This is unbelievable with a list as young as ours. The last three years have been carnage, if the fitness staff can keep this up someone needs to give them a raise!

 

[Persevering Saint]

Heroes in January, villains in February, heroes again in June.

 

[Persevering Saint]

How good is it to have only 1 player on the injury list?

I asked about fatigue and how their bodies are tracking this year and jimmy web said most guys are spending less time needed on recovery than he can remember and his body is in perfect nik.

Thats impressive

Yikes, Geelong and the Lions...

 

[sammm]

Wow. That perspective makes us look amazing. Another club will look at poaching our medical team.

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

Let's just hope that we have a similar injury list heading into the Grand Finals of 2018, 2019, 2020, etc, etc.

How long do we expect Billings and Roberton to miss for?

Best wait for the injury list to come out on Tuesday but AR said Billings is 50/50 to play our next game (after the bye)

If anyone was wondering the Saints said on Facebook that Delaney was subbed off for structural reasons, not due to injury.

Richo said billings is 50/50 for the doggies game. Must be more then soreness?

Must be.

Said Roberton should be ok after the bye.

Shin soreness = shin splints? Hope not, I've had them the last year or so, absolute bitch of a thing and not a whole lot you can do about it.

Yeah, I've had shin splints before.

Was always able to play through though, and hurt more the next day if anything.

I suppose this would be more of an issue with AFL players.

Sippa and Jweb have both had them haven't they?

 

[Nutsngum]

Bruce as well or something similiar.

I got them before starting to wear orthotics and they are a horrible thing. Surgery is apparently very effective with them though.

We need Billings for the Doggies, he is the Doggie destroyer....

 

[TassieSaint]

Ironic that a reduced injury list has robbed us of 2 best 22 players in Sinclair and Schneids

 

[Strahany]

Kid gloves with Billings if he has shin splints. Don't want to start developing tibial microfractures.
