Why did Keeler twinge his knee in December, start running again at the start of the year and is now looking like missing the first half of the season?????

How did bytel cut the knee?
Another boot sprigg, on the fence?

I said it as well, Hayes is another one whose injury time has blown right out from the initial estimate. (Round 2-4 I think it was?)
It seems we are not getting the rehab right either.

I think it all comes down to match conditioning now. Keeler for example has hardly had a pre season

Looking at the way we played on Sunday all players are going to have to run hard for the entire game. Anyone who has missed weeks with injury is going to take time to get that level of fitness back.

Need a less-fit team who are not continually injured..
Or maybe find out what Geelong used back in 2007 to suddenly reduce injuries and put more muscle on their players over a short period ..;-)

Caminiti was working as a butcher a month ago. Not sure that’s peak fitness.

That got banned, was legit blood spinning and they have the AFL to thank for being so completely oblivious to everything but their cash flow.
This would be our worst year for injuries for a while.

True, but on the brightside, apart from maybe some non-22 players, at least we will get all of them back during the season if not before the bye.
2007, RTB's first year we had shocking injuries
2008 top four
2009 and 10 premiers (well in my deluded fantasy world anyway)
Coincidence, or correlation equalling causation?

We sacked a lot of the injury prone guys under GT when he arrived. Goose, XMan, Max Hudgeton, Penny etc got culled or dropped.
Good thing it's happened when we've had the best depth, best coach and an actual game plan.
Yep, the last time it was this bad was way back in 2021

Very easy to get upset and pessimistic when you look at our injury list; particularly when compared to our rivals.
And very easy to blame someone like Dave Misson, especially when Demon visitors come onto our forum to tell us how bad he is.
But truth is like everything else (trades, drafts, contracts, selections etc) none of us here know the truth with any certainty.
If there is a problem with the training/fitness program is that even Dave Misson’s fault? Or does the blame fall at the feet of our head of performance and conditioning, Nick Walsh?
Or does it come back to Ross Lyon and the coaching staff demanding a certain level of fitness and Misson/Walsh simply working to that?
Like I said; who knows?
We all wish we had more cattle on the field and it may well be that a less strenuous program would’ve help achieve that.
However it may have also meant that we weren’t able to overpower and overrun the favoured Dockers last week.
So rather than blame any particular person I’m just gonna look forward to the next game, and to a time when a few of our currently injured squad start reappearing.

Apparently, he was picked up from the hospital yesterday.
No other news I'm aware of on his situation but you would hope he can make a fairly quick recovery.

Ross said he was on the drip as a prevantative measure and that if it was all clear, he'd be good to go pretty quickly, just not in time to play this week. Sounds like he was released and should be available again next week, barring another mysterious recovery mishap.

It also does give a chance for some of the lesser lights to get a few games under their belts and show us what they may/ may not have.
Hard for them to do so when the “name players” are still being selected, sometimes regardless of their output.
