Poor fitness and conditioning is a huge contributing factor in injuries , been proven time after time and there is significant evidence for this
I don't think it's poor conditioning or fitness, but more knocks and contact injuries that are impacting, or in Martins case old age catching up with him as calves are notorious for older players to struggle with.

Gone for 2 months minimum.

6-8 weeks

After surgery, you may be immobilized in a splint for the first 10-14 days. You will typically be kept non-weightbearing for 6-8 weeks and then allowed to put weight on your foot in a cast or boot. Swelling persists for many months after this surgery. Stiffness can be problem and physical therapy often is necessary.

We need to hear more info from the club about this.

Not the “it’s just bad luck” garbage they came out with a couple of weeks ago.

If it was just this year then fair enough but they must have a short memory because the same s**t was happening last year.

Sometimes it is just bad luck. I played in a country footy team in the 90's. One year maybe 1991 we were undefeated on top of the ladder half way through the season. By the time we got to the finals we had our 34th best player running out on the field, we had around 10 of our best 20 out injured and a few of us carrying niggling injuries. I recall I had not been able to train for weeks heading into the final, so had lost a lot of fitness. Some of our best fringe players were also injured.

There was no rhyme or reason to the injuries, but most of the key ones were long termers, broken leg, arms, collarbones, knee injuries, etc etc.


Other years around that we probably had a normal share of injuries. You cannot legislate for what is happening to Richmond at the moment.

Could just be bad luck at RFC, but 2 seasons wrecked through player injury, is a disaster. We need a new person in charge.

This year WC Eagles had to change the guy in charge of Fitness. Seems to have improved their injury crisis.

What are you talking about? It is full of bad injuries ...
 
ADEM Yze's match committee for this week's clash with Brisbane could be the quickest on record, with a potential low of just 26 players available.

AFL teams need to name a squad of 26 (23 in the team and three emergencies), and the Tigers may have come away from the weekend with an additional seven injuries across both the AFL and VFL.

The Tigers will be without Maurice Rioli jnr (syndesmosis), Sam Banks (concussion), Jack Graham (hamstring) and potentially also Seth Campbell (knee) and Tyler Sonsie (wrist) – all of whom played in the loss to the Western Bulldogs.

The VFL team didn't escape unscathed on Sunday, either, with James Trezise – on return from an ankle injury – suffering a concussion, and Jacob Koschitzke rolling an ankle.

If Liam Baker (corked leg) and Dylan Grimes (managed) are cleared to return, but all the above seven players are unavailable, Richmond's numbers would sit at 28.

Jacob Hopper (hamstring) remains at least a week away.

Category B rookie Oliver Hayes-Brown is currently playing with Old Ivanhoe in the VAFA competition (a level below VFL) while he builds his football experience, adding him to the unavailable 18.

Waalitj Marawar had fewer than 26 available players on two occasions in 2021 due to COVID-19 outbreaks, but due to the extenuating circumstances, were able to field top-up players sourced from the WAFL.

The Eagles also had to pick all 26 available players (inclusive of two category B rookies) in round eight last year, coincidentally against the Tigers.

On a few occasions in his mid-week pressers through April and early May, coach Adam Simpson said he had 24 or 25 players to choose from, meaning a handful of Eagles emergencies weren't fit to play.

The entire Richmond club has had a horror run over the past 12 months, particularly around re-injuries and soft tissue problems. Yze conceded the club had erred in naming Dion Prestia off a five-day break – the midfielder subsequently breaking down – while Graham has re-injured his hamstring after a week off.

Hopper injured his hamstring in his return from a knee injury, with strapping on the joint proving to be an issue throughout the half he played.

The Tigers' AFLW side also needed to dip into top-up players from the VFLW on several occasions late last year.

Richmond has the opportunity to select at least two players in the upcoming mid-season draft, given the season-ending torn ACLs suffered by Judson Clarke and Josh Gibcus.
