Injury 2017 - Injury List

[Unique Name]

Jon Griffin - ???
Harley Bennell - Calf
Shane Kersten - Groin
Alex Pearce - Leg
Lachie Neale - Knee/Shoulder/Wrist
Zac Clarke - Knee/s
Michael Apeness - Shoulder
Michael Johnson - Achilles

So this is where we stand so far. Some very important players on the list - Johnson, Neale, Bennell, A Pearce.

Is Johnson's issue still the achilles? And is Jon Griff injured or on leave for the wedding? We still have 3 months to get them going, but the sooner we get them all on the park the better.

Griffin and Johnson were spotted with the rehab group. SO not on leave just rehabbing. Luke Ryan is also injured I believe.

Zac Clarke - Knee/s

Heart injury fixed then? Great news.

Heart injury fixed then? Great news.

Not sure whether it's difficult to fix a pea...perhaps he had a new one installed.

Griff is Achilles also.

I also believe Crozier was in rehab just prior to Christmas.

Griff sounded positive that it was minor and he will be in full training shortly after they return.

Hopeful we will finally have the vast majority available from after the break.

Would be particularly disappointed if Kersten has picked up anything other than a minor injury now that we don't have Yarren.

According to the great Dim Hagsporn, Zac Clarke has a cracked bone in his leg and will be out of action for quite some time. He also said that Lachie Neale is still weeks away from resuming training.

Saw the last session before the break. Crozier looked superb. Not in rehab group.

The reports I read said all that he did was run laps (with the other rehabbers) but that's good news. Either way, shouldn't be too far away.

Interesting if true. Sitting on a one year contract, with lingering injury concerns. Hmmm ...

I thought he ran a ton of laps, but also joined in some kicking drills. Either way he looked to have participated in the 3km today, as did Apeness. You would think those two would no longer be in rehab group.

It sounds more like he has been doing some stage acting.

Good luck with that.

Just saw Zac Clarke with a massive brace on his leg. Not sure if the brace bit is news but thought I'd share anyway.

Any update on Lachie Neale that the training watchers can give us? It really is getting a bit late in the preseason to be in the rehab group.

Is he running at full pace? Any contact drills? Has anyone heard when he is likely to rejoin the main group?

Nice seeing him at the basket ball last night but would much rather see him out on the track training fully.

 

[Halfbaked]

Fitness will not be a problem. Lots of running. Looks really good, obviously his shoulder has lots of strapping.

Good news, just protecting the shoulder from contact then, which is not so bad.

For what it's worth, I heard Crumpet yesterday say that Lachie was not recovering as quickly as they had expected from his surgery and is still a few weeks off resuming full training.

Crumpet with the inside word.

There hasn't been much media around lachie. All I could find was the original update in September about the shoulder and wrist surgery, saying they hoped he would be back in full training mid/late December.

Then an update in December saying he had also had the knee surgery and there was no timeline, but was confident of being ready for round 1.

As usual, when there's ambiguity and haziness around a subject, Doghorn provides the clarity
