Injury 2024 Season Geelong Cats Injury Thread

[Vdubs]

We will know tomorrow, it’s been said they get the results tomorrow
But we all know the GFC and Danger would’ve known the results yesterday and just keeping it to themselves

Of course, how it should be.
Being members and supporters of a footy club should never mean we have a right to privileged information until the player and club deem it timely to distribute the news.

Dangerfield has been out & about getting taxis since getting home - I'm going to pretend that means things are ok

Maybe he’s getting taxis because his hammy is to sore to drive?

Hamstrings are fine to drive. Calf tears are the ones that impact driving

2023, bad year- 4 separate occasions- tore 2 hammies and a calf. (And a fractured shoulder)
Could not believe how difficult walking is with a calf tear; yes, driving hampered with a right calf tear (auto car)

Ouch. Where abouts did you fracture in the shoulder?? Hopefully nothing that needed a shoulder arthroplasty

A very mean feat in Moggs Creek, it should be noted

And so it starts again, season 2024, our Danger has a soft tissue injury.

It is a worry. It was only his second match so it wasn’t a question of managing the number of games Danger plays.

 

[D BRIDGE]

In just hope Danger and CS are taking Geelong’s injury shenanigans to a new level and decided to have Danger publicly point at his hammy late in Fridays game when when secured the W even though it’s 100% fine.

“Scans” show he is “out” for a few weeks.

Nek minnit he is weirdly named as an emergency for the Hawks match and a extra late in after Parf “strains something” running through the banner (ahh I don’t even know if we do banners anymore).

Then Danger is BOG Easter Monday.

All of this work just to get a small advantage over the Hawks.

Not saying it’ll happen… but I’ll tip my hat to CS and Danger if it does, because that would be taking it to an elite level of trickery.

 

[Cataholic]

Has anything actually been confirmed?? Physios and doctors would well and truly know by now if it’s cramp as cramp doesn’t last into the following day… may just be a matter of confirming the size of the tear via scans now

Yes, it has.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Yes, it has.

How long? 3-4?

 

[Cataholic]

How long? 3-4?

They're saying 2 at this point.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Cheers. Is it normal for someone to miss 2 with a hammy? I always thought it was 3-4 minimum.

Same....but I wouldn't be surprised to see it evolve into 3 - 4 weeks.

To say 2 suggests they think it's very minor, but then they would also know that leads them into the North game, so they'll likely end up giving him that week off too.

Channel 7 saying 3 weeks

 

[Gunf]

Guessing we will make sure Danger is 100% and leave him out till after North that will give him a little over 4 weeks injury management

[CHAWKTS]

Ok. So always need to read between the lines with our “health update”. At least the “new guys” doesn’t waffle and the update was like 90 seconds long… no I am trying to interput as he used different words for each player!)

danger…2 weeks. Very specific. (I reckon he meant 2 rounds so don’t expect him back until North Melbourne). Would not be shocked if they gave him the extra week (precautionary!) given it is north at home and had him fit and ready for trip north in round 6

Atkins…very close last week and will be “ready to play” (if trains fully tomorrow)
Bowes…should also train tomorrow and will be “available to play”
Bruhn… had test last week and was close and will be “same this week” (I assume test again)

For those last 3 I read in that Atkins will play AFL, Bowes VFL (maybe part?) and Bruhn probably one more week given 5 day turn around.

They are saying “2 weeks” but I reckon it will be exactly as you say

 

[D BRIDGE]

Has Bruhn secretly broken his foot or something?

 

[catempire]

Congratulations to the club for putting weeks estimates as timeframes for injuries this season. Wasn’t that hard now, was it?

So he's out until at least round nineteen if he's missing the round eighteen clash with the pies.

Anyone know what the story is with Bews atm?

played VFL Rd1 last week.

Was ok but nothing amazing IMO

GO Catters

 

[Gee Class Loco]

GFC moving on... Different direction.
The player in question is.... Not happy Jan.
He had the best pre season in about 6-7 years by all accounts.
That's all i got.
