Injury Blue Healers Medical Room - 2019

[Nori]

At least everyone will now be happy that Williamson was 'mentioned' in the latest club update.

 

[CJMB]

So we've got the Murphy injury being non-existant, Kreuzer & Fasolo by round 1 & Marchbank, Williamson, Macreadie, Lang sometime early in the season.

Hopefully the latter 4 can have some nice progress without any setbacks and return to the fold sometime before maybe round 6 or so?

Just leaves Doc for the season and Pickett perhaps a chance later if he can return to the VFL say mid-season and get his fitness & form up.

Overall that's pretty positive for me.

 

[FRUMPY]

So gone from McKay's 2 weeks response to 'expect them ready early in the season'

I agree, very positive and at this stage a better quality of player as a whole, for round 1

Looking forward to some players such as Setters having another hitout in the JLT

I really like how Russell says they are now training but will need a "block of conditioning" training prior to playing. Even McGovern played a half and then did more conditioning. Really understands the need to be fit not just over an injury.

Report I thought was very good. Nowhere near as bad as some made out especially the media

This cant be true. I've read it on BigFooty dozens of times how Marchbank is finished and Williamson too.........

There's a new injury update from Russell posted on CFC site.

Here's the link.

Injury update | JLT 1

Further news on Fasolo. I saw him near the membership area (Carlton Shop) when I was at the ground last week. I'll back Russell's claim about the work they've managed to pile into him. Apart from still having the cast/guard on his arm, Fasolo really did look trim, lean and fit. Has lost that bloated, heavy appearance he had before Xmas.

Murphy - Knee - Available (full game)
McGovern - Back - Available (near-to-full game in JLT1)
Setterfield - Knee - Available (full game)
Kreuzer - Knee - likely JLT2
Fasolo - Arm - likely JLT2
Marchbank - Back - unlikely R1
Macreadie - Back - unlikely R1
Williamson - Back - early season (definitely not R1)
Lang - Foot - early season (least promising timeframe, but ahead of original prognosis)

So for the last four, they'll do a mini pre-season before they're anywhere near AFL selection, so look for them to be eased back in via limited minutes in the VFL (VFL pre-season runs until the end of March, with the VFL season proper starting in AFL R3).

Setterfield being prepared for a full game is very exciting. 2 full matches before the season and ready for R1.

 

[JustaBattler]

Serious non collision related back injuries for elite athletes is a sign that the Club was clue less about conditioning.

Marchbank/Williamson/McCreadie ( don't forget Harry ) all prized tall additions to the list all pretty much scratched for over a year of development.Lang came to the Club with an ankle issue, missed a pre-season and couldn't get it fixed properly for half a season and then came back obviously impaired looking like a VFL draft horse instead of an elite running machine....Kreuzer with a heart issue? - really?? wtf was all that about???

I hope that the Club has done more than just hire Russell to improve player fitness levels and management.

I was not particularly convinced by what Russell had to say about Marchbank McCreadie or Williamson.

 

[thylacine60]

With this bloke calling the shots, I am confident the nagging, recurring injuries will be sorted before the boys play. I am just as confident that when they
are back it is to stay.

Surely we would be happy to have them for the majority of the season building cohesion with their team mates than rushing back for a couple of early games. There is nothing on the line short term to demand an early return for any of them. After all, patience is a virtue.

then bluebaggers are the most virtuous of them all..........

 

[Mr_Plow]

Another comment from Russell worth noting, 40 players on the track engaging in a skills session yesterday.
40/45 is quite a good amount for this club, heading in the right direction hopefully.

 

[MitchRobinson12]

Stoked for Setterfield and McGovern. Russell definitely won't throw underdone/injured players up for selection which is a breath of fresh air.

Great for anytime of the year

For at least 1-2 weeks anyway

NB’s game# 1 for all 4 (maybe not Willo unfort), which is actually round 4 in the AFL and likely 2 or 3 week spell from our last VFL practice match with our bye in 1st round.

Some tall timber down back with K.Collins, Goddard, Marchbank, Macreadie, BSOS all in contention (TDK, Flip, Lobbe, Casboult, Kerr, Finbar further up the ground).

Maybe the first time I haven't been depressed after reading this thread....

 

[thylacine60]

early doors......

 

[Mr_Plow]

I almost don't know what to do with this positive information.
Have already re-watched the update twice, yet to sink in.

 

[Fred Sexton]

Fairly noncommittal on Williamson, Marchbank and Macreadie which is a bit concerning but good new nonetheless

Not even a depressed cheekbone.

I actually contacted a close mate of mine at Carlton on the weekend and told him we as fans needed more transparent updates re Willo, Marchy and HMac, I think the message got through..

Its night and day. If I took my dog to see " The Vet" I think i would just tell him to put it down. If AR was a vet he would bleed me dry - the guy just inspires confidence.

 

[therubbernub]

Marchbank/Williamson/McCreadie ( don't forget Harry )

Dont forget Cripps
