Injury 2023 St Kilda Injury Thread

[DougalHoward]

Hopefully they give Highmore a go. Howard is a putrid defender. You just don't see him winning any of his possessions in a contested situation. Need to blood someone else.

Highmore had plenty of opportunities

 

[gringo2011]

Just had a look at Dr Google, suggests even after surgery the recovery time is 6-8 weeks so unfortunately I doubt we see Dougal again this year...

What was the bone he broke and was it a fracture or a break? If it's just a fracture of one of the bigger bones, my son was in a cast for 4 weeks and allowed to resume normal stuff as soon as it came off. Pretty sure plates mean you can use it sooner too because it braces the area.

Highmore had plenty of opportunities

I thought Highmore did OK down back as an intercept mark when he last played seniors, but never really got a good run of consecutive games for whatever reason.

Seems to have gone backwards unfortunately

Highmore and Campbell not sighted at training this morning. Cordy training with the forwards. Question mark over who will replace Howard.

Evidently his ball use is meant to be a key reason.

I think if he can't peel off and mark it, he's not that great at defending.

 

[Drop Kick]

Highmore and Campbell not sighted at training this morning. Cordy training with the forwards. Question mark over who will replace Howard.

Only because the sandy saints joined training late because they were playing Saturday whereas the the main team are playing Sunday.

 

[Drop Kick]

I think if he can't peel off and mark it, he's not that great at defending.

I think he will be one of the first players delisted at years end. Will he get picked up by another AFL club before final list lodgement for 2024, that'll be my only interest in Highmore, except for confirmation he is going out with Nicola Xenos.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Good news that Cooper has avoided any real injury and is a chance to play this week

Good to see all the troops back now except Jones, Seb and Dmac.

A bit concerning they haven't even mentioned Dmac the past 4 weeks

 

[bergholt]

No Howard on the injury list? Has Misson delisted him already?

 

[Alabakis train]

What's the go with big james van es? is he out for the year injured? his not on the injury list. his instergram quote BRB (be right back) might indicate he is.

 

[Remboy]

No Howard on the injury list? Has Misson delisted him already?

AFL list has him listed as test.

 

[PoppedCorn]

AFL list has him listed as test.

Well if he can play with it broken for three quarters then he can play with it broken for four

Cement cup drink

 

[TheNewEnsign]

After the way we started the year injury wise it's crazy to think that Seb could be a test next week (might come in, maybe gets a week in the VFL) with the only two injured being Jones (the new Hanners, basically perma-injured unfortunately) and DMac.

 

[Miha]

Poor Jones, I’d have thigh he might be extended for midfield depth with his burst but that might just be it for him

 

[sunny3193]

Highmore had plenty of opportunities

Mate, how are you managing to type with one hand in a cast?

 

[DougalHoward]

Mate, how are you managing to type with one hand in a cast?

You can use a phone with one hand boom boom

 

[phantom13]

You can use a phone with one hand boom boom

You can ******* spoil with one too. Get back out there.

 

[BrutThough]

Seb and Highmore a test for this week.

Van Es out with a stress fracture in his ankle.

 

[bergholt]

Dougs 3-4 weeks is optimistic. At this point I'd probably call that "season".

 

[SteeleSaints]

Given our midfield calamities Im guessing Seb Ross will come straight back in?

 

[borderbarry]

Well he did , and did well too.

 

[Remboy]

I can just see it now, DMac straight in for the GF.


The Saints will head into Round 23 buoyed by an injury-free weekend.

Following a VFL bye and a win against Richmond, the red, white and black did not see any new injuries added to the list.

and Dan McKenzie.

“It’s positive to have a stable injury list, especially at this time of year,” Acting General Manager of Football David Misson said.

“We’re continuing to monitor Zak and Dan as they work through their rehabilitation.

“While we’re hopeful they’ll make a return to play this season, we’re just taking it week by week.”
