Injury Season 2023 Injury updates

[Betts are off]

That doesn't sound good for Bond.

Draftee Hugh Bond remains sidelined with a knee fracture and is yet to resume running.

“Bondy is our only out this week,” Burgess said.

What even is a Knee Fracture? Never heard of one

Bond was kicking the footie back to

Don't know exactly. Whenever I hear knee, I shudder. I think the worse. Always recall Mark Stevens knee cap issues. I recall him on the ground and smacking it back into place and playing on.

Yeah I remember that. I wish I didn't

If you google knee fractures you will see other than patella fractures (kneecap) it can involve fractures in the tibia and femur bones close to where they attach to the knee, I'm thinking it's the latter type as Burgess said it's pretty unusual.

Well he did do a lot of gym and rowing as a young teen right? Might be some stress fractures that got worse over time.

No, expected to play SANFL this weekend. Bond is the only one listed as injured.

Could be a Tibial plateau (top shelf of the tibia bone). Not entirely common in AFL. More so car crash, horse riding, skiing, water sports.

'knee fracture' doesn't make me suspect patella, as they'd probably have just said Patella or knee cap.

Interesting.

Yeah, and I made the post about....8 days ago

No worries. Here is the updated injury report. Only Bond and McAdam included, which is pretty good, relatively speaking. Bond probably about 6 weeks away. Not as if he would have debuted this season anyway. He can learn the systems and further develop before playing some games second half of the season.

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

No mention of Hinge or Berry

Which is either very good news or double bad news

Darren Creswell for me

Or Worrell. Another hammy now and his season would be just about a write off.

 

[Danger in Texas]

McAdam out 4-6 weeks, Taylor with a lisfranc

 

[Betts are off]

That's just about season over for Taylor re an AFL debut.

Yeah, that's a tough break for the kid. 3 months put him at what, round 19-20 before he's resuming?

Fingers crossed it doesn't linger on him.

Also silver lining, hopefully he can use that time away from the field to further develop his frame a bit. Come back stronger in 2024

 

[Peter Doherty]

That's such a shame about Taylor.

 

[Chief Crow]

Does that mean we will have a pick in the mid season draft?

 

[Trigger13]

Lisfranc notoriously tricky. Injuries to the mid foot are slow to heal and must heal fully to ensure no risk of re-injury. That will likely be his season and some. What a damn shame.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Might as well put him on the long term injury list if there is someone we want in the MSD..

At this point its hard to see Taylor getting an AFL debut this year.. and, if he does make it back onto the field really late in the SANFL season he probably wont get the required amount of games up to ensure he qualifies to play sanfl finals (if the crows make them)..

What a disaster.

 

[jackster83]

Sounds like McAdam is doing a mini preseason.

I wonder if he dropped the ball with his fitness/prep whilst suspended.

Would we be able to get a permit for an injured player who's never played AFL?

Or is it a games cut off with no wriggle room?

Probably not.

We'll probably also have more AFL listed players qualified for finals than we're allowed to pick.

pointless even trying to come back this year. Just treat it as a season enderer and plan to hit the preseason running.

[Bearded Clam]

Not sure we’ll ever see McPherson in crows colours again..

Unfortunate really..

Plenty of talent.. body just isnt up to it.. not even able to hold up to SANFL rigours so he probably needs to give the game away altogether..
