Bigman’s Training Reports (Update: 21st Jan)

[pjcrows]

Wrestling?

 

[stavro#4]

That’s some shit news guys. Great young player to watch.

 

[1990crow]

Really hope it's not because the turf hasn't been getting maintained like a lot have been reporting..

 

[Swan97]

Great start by the new fitness boss. Burgo would be fuming. Who does wrestling in the preseason its not summerslam or wrestlemainia

 

[Trigger13]

**** right off. Disaster.

Pretty sure it's something they've done in previous years.

 

[Crow till I die]

Praying for it to not be an ACL. any other injury and it will be a road to recovery but a much shorter one

 

[ross23233]

Let's hope it's not as serious as we're thinking. Is wrestling a new addition to our training?

 

[Scorpus]

Will be very difficult to go far in the season without Curtin or Draper

It’s hard to think of another kind of knee injury that would occur from wrestling, and would need a stretcher? Would walk off with a medial, right?

 

[Trigger13]

Back for finals?

Feels like 2013. 2013 and 2014 were write offs as soon as Tex went down.

 

[bettingonbetts]

Holy shit

 

[Thunderstruck]

**** me. Why Curtin. Devastating if its an ACL.

 

[Swan97]

Pretty sure it's something they've done in previous years.

Why though? Its a contact sport but no need for wrestling dumb

Kneecap dislocation?...I am clutching at straws I know

I don't think it's hyperbole to say this could have a similar effect to missing Thilthorpe for the start of 2024. Curtin was a huge point of difference and it seemed like we started to plan our game around him.

Wrestling wouldn’t be the usual ACL turn of direction mechanism. The media love an ACL beat up, and most times you see people walk off with an ACL. I reckon MCL, with a glimmer of hope, based off the drill.

 

[MRB37]

It's about training for midfield positioning and breaking tackles.

 

[Syd Crow]

Just another year of......


just earlier this year

 

[bettingonbetts]

I think Curtin has really hurt himself

Looks a knee

I’m intrigued, what happened when he went down? major injuries are are excruciating in the first 10 seconds. What were his mannerisms when it first happened?
Just think it will give us a bit more of outlook on how serious it could be

 

[Gtowncrow]

Great start by the new fitness boss. Burgo would be fuming. Who does wrestling in the preseason its not summerslam or wrestlemainia

Wrestling drills would be a football coach decision, not fitness team.

 

[crows dude]

WTF are we doing wrestling for? Just asking for a knee injury.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Okay, I've had 15 mins to process this, we have to move on now.

There's still time to prioritise Rachele, Edwards and Dowling in the midfield during training. If Draper gets over his issues, he will help too.

We get Rankine back early in the season.

Back luck to Dan, but the club can't dwell on this.

 

[skam85]

we don't even make wildcard without him
