[George Kramer]

Probably best placed here...

Keane might be in the picture for round 1 yet?

TRAINING NOTES

* Key defender Jordon Butts is being managed due to a sore shoulder but is tracking well.

* Ruckman Kieran Strachan was involved in match simulation, albeit with no contact, after missing the Crows’ reserves game last Friday with an elbow issue. Defender Andrew McPherson (knee) was the other player to train with no contact.


* Midfielder Billy Dowling was in a moonboot because of a foot injury that was set to sideline him for three to five weeks, while fellow draftee Hugh Bond (back niggle) trained away from the main group.

* Half-back Wayne Milera (personal reasons) was absent.

* The B side’s half-backs tried to emulate Giants duo Lachie Whitfield and Lachie Ash by playing very attacking during the match simulation.

The last point is very interesting, good

I mentioned in the internal trial thread that Butts hurt his shoulder in the last quarter. It looked like a dislocation or a subluxation. The look on his face seemed to indicate “not again”.

Poor timing for Worrell to have hammy problems.

Crouch with a cracked fibula. Ouch.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Crouch with a cracked fibula. Ouch.

Only a minor fibula fracture..

He didnt seem too phased by it when he was walking past the media yesterday..

Might miss the sanfl trial games but hopefully not much else..

Broken leg. Not expected to impact his season too much.

Lol

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Crouch with a cracked fibula. Ouch.

Hmmm, how long will this set him back.

Expecting him to play some games this year as useful depth.

 

[ams4crows]

A broken leg is 6 weeks right??

 

[dogs105]

A broken leg is 6 weeks right??

Matty Robran's was over 12 months wasn't it?

This certainly sounds less serious.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

A broken leg is 6 weeks right??

Depends on the size of the break.

 

[GrommoT]

 

[Cap]

Crouch with a cracked fibula. Ouch.

Feel really sorry for Crouch

But a bit like the Sloane injury, a blessing for the fan base worried about selection

 

[Bearded Clam]

A broken leg is 6 weeks right??

He just about jogged off up past the media out to the carpark after it.. the media yelled out to him and asked him about it and he said its all good..

It would be a tiny fracture..

If it was an actual broken leg where you needed 6 weeks or more they wouldnt have had him simply wandering around after it!

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Pretty sure other players have played finals with fractured fibula before.

 

[crows dude]

Matty Robran's was over 12 months wasn't it?

This certainly sounds less serious.

He broke it in 3 places

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

He broke it in 3 places

Yes, his was nasty.

Hentschel's worse again.

It depends on the break.

Problem with a minor break & not resting is could make it worse.

Flesh wound

 

[GreyCrow]

Ive not been a fan of Matts over the last few years but he seemed to take the knocks and work really hard

To now see him miss with an injury like this is sad for him

I hope he can recover sufficiently to be a factor for whichever side he plays in

 

[spenze]

He broke it in 3 places

Like as in once at the match, then again at the hospital and then the last time when he came home?

That is crap luck

 

[Tex Danger]

Geez there’s some click bait around on this broken leg

Please no one get mistaken by the difference between a small crack in the fibula (small non weight bearing bone) and a broken tibia (thick, weight bearing bone)

1 you get carried off on a stretcher with, the other requires an X-ray to determine if it is anything more than a corked muscle, he more than likely continued to try run it out.

 

[jackster83]

I guess that's good news for Bond, Hately and McPherson if they're not listed on there.

 

[Pugsley]

Broken leg. Not expected to impact his season too much.

If Matt wants to play, we will remove his stumps.

 

[Bearded Clam]

So after all that media mayo..

Crouch is gonna miss 2/3 weeks.. and could be running on it right now as he feels 100% but Burgess has told him to take a week off as a precaution..

And… The way a few in here were carrying on it sounded like he’d snapped it clean in half in 3 places and would miss an entire year!

Injury wise, we are doing very well. If we were offered to be in this space before the beginning of preseason, I think we would have taken it hands down, despite Worrell, Crouch's and Dowlings set backs, none of which appear long term. Only Worrell of these were serious round 1 contenders, and Worrell's injury gives Michalanney the opportunity to debut. Hoepfully Worrell recovers and gets fit again quickly, but we should be very thankful that we are where we are at injury wise.
