Injury Hartlett's road to recovery

[PJ Power]

Broadbent will not be brought in... I don’t think he will ever play for the Power again.

The one I reckon could come in to play the tough, drop back into the hole, intercept marking role is Joel Garner.

I’d be disappointed if Irra doesn’t make it at some stage too.

What a way to top of the week, only one thing left now, that is a belting from North and a reaming from the umps to boot.

Hopefully hammer can bounce back and return to this seasons form next season.

 

[LeoMessi]

This season is just going from bad to worse

 

[El_Scorcho]

He just didn't deserve this, especially after the heart he showed last week. Gutted for him.

 

[HaroldOliver]

Hamish has finally displayed the consistent high-level performances his potential intimated and that as a supporter base we have demanded of him and this happens.
Speddy recovery and best wishes Hammer.

 

[Jonts]

Broadbent will come in and play 3+ games this year

What I find amazing is that it was less than 3 weeks after his ACL reco and he isnt wearing one of those knee braces, or if he is, they have bloody shrunk in the last few years.

Think that usually depends on if there was damage to the meniscus

I’m not surprised. Different surgeons have different approaches.
Some are big on restricting movement etc, others think getting movement back into is asap is the best approach.... my surgeon was the latter. I did the acl and shredded my meniscus and they had me walking out without crutches or a brace within 24h.
From what I can make of it they have come a long way.

He's running! Hopefully will be ready for pre-season?

At the Club 1870 Event on Saturday we wondered over to the players facilities and saw the Maggies warm up. I was a bit of a straggler heading back to Port Club but Muftii and Fade to Gray had a chat to Hammer in the players lounge area and he told them he was going to start running this week which is 3 months after the operation. Maybe they can report on anything else he said.

I reckon he'll be back around round 3-4, but will complete most of pre-season in terms of conditioning and will be good to go.

Same here

Perhaps a renaming of this thread is in order good mods? Possibly 'Hartlett's ACL injury, from rupture to recovery'.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

EXPERIENCED Port Adelaide defender Hamish Hartlett is on track to return from a serious knee injury in time for the start of next season.

The 28-year-old played the first five rounds of the 2018 campaign before tearing the ACL in his right knee in a training drill on April 26.

Hartlett, who has played 153 games with the Power since being taken with the No.4 pick in the 2008 NAB AFL Draft, has been running laps during pre-season training and will increase his training loads early next year.

He expects he will return to full training as early as the end of January.
