No point rushing him. Give him as much time as necessary

 

[sog35]

The video from Nine News showed Hartlett speaking very positively about his knee. It's likely the modified program is there to help ease the burden on his body as he comes back into game shape, rather thanany issues. I agree, no point rushing and would prefer to see Howard come in to give him more chance to find touch in the SANFL.

inb4 he has a knee clean out

As if there was going to be a different outcome after his non-participation at full training. Ease him back slowly, at least a couple more games in the SANFL. If the difference between making the eight and not is Hartlett rushed back early, we aren't going to impact the finals anyway.

That's good news that it's not his knee! Having hamstrung tweaks and other issues are normal as he increases his loads.

We are pretty lucky we have about 15 half backs in our squad... so no need to rush back

That and its usually where the ligaments come from to replace the ACL. So hamstring injuries are essentially a given.

Hamish Hartlett has never been a quick healer so it is wise to use cation. He has had his share of injury over his ten seasons in the AFL.

Ebert on the radio this morning said its just tightness... or should i say "Hamstring Awareness"

Indefinite instead of TBC for Dixon now. They have now confirmed that they don't know when he'll be back. Wow.

We are stuck with Sam Gray for a while yet...

 

[TeeKray]

If Dixon plays at all this season, it'll be very late in the piece.

 

[OneGreatClub]

I hope Watts doesn’t follow the similar trajectory

 

[Tibbs]

I hope Watts doesn’t follow the similar trajectory

Yeah? If Watts play AT ALL I will be stoked and surprised!

 

[RossFC]

We might hear in 2 weeks if Watts is ruled out for the season or not. Remember them saying they will assess him 1 month post injury.

Edit: lol just realised I wrote 2 weeks.

Surely we can get Chief to auto correct 2 weeks to a Portnight on the Port board?

Just give him the week off and Drew back in the middle. If Rockliff playing is the difference between winning and losing against a Richmond side this depleted, then the season is shot anyway.

 

[Kiss from a Rozee]

The AFL’s concussion rules are absolutely ****ed. He shouldn’t be playing for a month.

Hmm perhaps I’m wrong

Types of concussions

Concussions are sometimes graded on the severity of their symptoms:

• grade 0: headache and difficulty concentrating
• grade 1: headache, difficulty concentrating, and a dazed feeling for less than a minute
• grade 2: grade 1 symptoms, with a longer period of feeling dazed, possibly accompanied by dizziness, confusion, amnesia, ringing in the ears, and irritability
• grade 3: loss of consciousness for less than a minute
• grade 4: loss of consciousness for longer than a minute

Returning to very limited activities following a grade 0 or 1 concussion may be allowable within a day or two. A grade 2 headache may require a few days of rest. A grade 3 or 4 concussion will mean at least a few weeks of recovery time. Regardless of the severity of your concussion, you should be symptom-free before returning to normal activity, and your condition should be carefully monitored by your doctor.
