Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn, Denver Grainger-Barras

heard a rumour its bone bruising at the back of the knee, likely 4 weeks but because its behind the knee it could be a bit longer as that area is the worst place for bone bruising so could easily extend to 6 if it doesnt heal quickly, we'll see if the rumour is accurate or not.

Injuries to Day and DGB in a rebuilding year very deflating.

Especially as talented as those two. You can justify it to yourself if it was a more senior player, can't you?

Sometimes this can be worse then clean crack that just needs plaster. Can hurt more then a clean break as well, imo.

But if no ligaments/tendons/cartilage damage then great news really.

Yeah on top of a disrupted year last year as well. A real pain in the ass.

That's worse news than our likely 6-7 win season.

 

[TylerDurden]

Can't believe thats not an acl or a broken leg.

Shot of his injury

Shot of his injury

From who?

 

[streetspirit]

DGB posted a slowmo of the internal club footage showing the opposition player veering right into his knee. Said ‘see you in a few months’

Yep. 8 weeks when the club said 4.
Wonder why he deleted it then. Hmmmmm

Everyone knows with the Hawks you triple what they say and add 4 weeks to that.

Kind of laughable how bad these injury reports are.

Birchall still 2-3 weeks away....

That seems an awfully long time for bone bruising, usually bone bruising is a bit of a wait and see how it heals.

 

[eldorado]

When did the club say 4?

True, the club as per usual never really give any answers to this kind of thing.

Literally every injury we get may aswell be indefinite.

From who?

It really looked like a mix of Robbie Grays hyper extension and Barlows broken leg.

You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t lose my mind with the club being conservative with the highest draft pick we’ve taken in the last 15 years.

if it’s 8 weeks or 12 so be it. There’s literally no rush.

Yep no structure damage should be the focus, marathon not a sprint.

Seems like he’s in pretty good spirits.

 

[Hawk_francais]

Was hopeful of a 4-5 week injury. Oh well, second half of the year hopefully
