Injury Blue Healers Medical Room - 2019

Remove this Banner Ad

Other than some more disasters on the training track this week, we should be able to add Jones & Deluca to the 'Ready to go' list.
Given what has been put forward previously -

Jones & Deluca - Test
Williamson - ???????
Stocker - 2 weeks.
Docherty - Season.

Could we? Dare to dream?

I've been trying to keep quiet about it and just let it happen. We are in a decent spot entering the bye, hope it continues.

Some guys on the list, who will hence remain nameless, have played career-best consecutive games. This can only be a very good thing.

Think Williamson is done for 2019. Hopefully only 3 players unavailable post-bye, that would be an incredible result.
Really feel for the bloke if that is the case. Hopefully Andrew Russell can work his magic and get him back on the park for 2020.
 
They'd have to chop off Ed's ankle to stop him taking the field.

Even then he'd probably just jam in a ball bearing and run onto the field....

Inedstructable...
I remember that game against the doggies a couple of years ago when he kept trying to return to the field after breaking his leg against the goal post.
 


Seems like a few of our boys were playing pretty sore against the dogs...having to wait until round 14 for our bye is pretty tough.

With a low injury count and pressure on some spots let's hope we can really attack the second half of the year, and not collapse and cop beltings like we have in previous years.

Last year we didn't wait til the second half of the year to collapse ;) haha. But yes, here's to 2-3 wins hopefully or more!
 
Is Liam Jones ok? It seems the club must be being very cautious with him. There’s a long life after footy to look forward to. I’d hate for there to be lasting issues for him.

Supposedly back in full training so seems to be OK.

His health and safety should be priority. But also as a team we have Casboult doing a very good job anyway. Jones being unavailable has actually saved us from a huge selection headache.

We should be due for an update this evening.

Perhaps Deluca will be available if there is a VFL game this week? Jones may also get a run if cleared, since it has been several weeks now.

Actually, just found this on the club website...

INJURY LIST

Player Injury Timeframe

Liam Stocker Ankle 3-4 weeks
Liam Jones Concussion TBC
Sam Docherty Knee Indefinite
Josh Deluca Hamstring 3-4 weeks
Tom Williamson Back 3 weeks

List Updated, 18 June 2019

May indicate that Deluca has had a setback, which would suck.
And no mention of E. Curnow who is apparently fine, so this may not be correct.

Suppose the video will be out in a few hours.

It was obviously a pretty major concussion, hope he bites the bullet with the headgear in his return, at least for the rest of the year.
 
Would be interesting to know exactly what is wrong with Williamson. We keep hearing back but nothing specific. Not even sure if it's the same recurring issue.
I think he definitely deserves another try, there are plenty of players on our list who can't play who we can delist before Williamson who certainly can play. Another season of being always injured would almost certainly be the end you would think.

Would be nice to know if this is the same recurring issue or if there are other methods such as surgery to get this right. Is it a growing thing, is it structural, is it an impact injury, is it a fracture or bulging disc or what is it? Would be good to know.

Also Deluce injured for that long, sounds like he might have tore his hamstring at training?
