Injury 2012 Injury Thread

[the harry]

Nope - stated that he and his management decided against it on Marngrook the other night.

From memory libba was back from a reco after something ridiculous like 16 weeks

Yeah while Libba took 16 or 17 weeks, he came back the same round as Mainy (round 19 I think) who did his round 2 the previous year against the Cats.

Lecra does heal alot quicker than others....but its wishful thinking that he will return this year! i would rather he gets his knee perfect for next year than rush back and possibly hurt it again.

 

[pantskyle]

Griffen out of the Dogs round 1 as well.

 

[Piss Poor]

Griffen is there play maker, a lot of the bulldogs play seems to feed from him, with him out this should be a given for us. really can't see us dropping this now.

Confirming that Masten is for round one and was cleared of any damage. Also states that Kennedy and Lynch have resumed full training and should be right to take the Dogs on the weekend.

[pantskyle]

Offical List

LeCras (knee) season :
Nicoski (hamstring) 12 weeks
Strijk (quad) 2 weeks
Lynch (hamstring) test
Kennedy (foot) test

Least we can Nicoski back for the last half of the year!

 

[pantskyle]

Actually I would prefer if Nicoski doesn't make it back in.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Actually I would prefer if Nicoski doesn't make it back in.

41 goals last year says otherwise.

 

[Apollo2011]

Actually I would prefer if Nicoski doesn't make it back in.

Why good sir?

 

[pantskyle]

Because it means who we replace him with is having a great season.

 

[pantskyle]

And that our team is firing.

 

[Mighty Eagles]

Actually I would prefer if Nicoski doesn't make it back in.

Do you mean Masten?

 

[pantskyle]

Do you mean Masten?

No, Masten is best 22.

 

[Avalor]

No, Masten is best 22.

So is Nicoscki (when fit)

 

[pantskyle]

We will see.

12 weeks is a massive time out of anyone. It's a bad hammy.

Personally I hope he is kept out because some of our younger players are scoring a lot of goals.

 

[Marlin01]

When they say 12 weeks, is that until he's able to start training? If so, it's a minimumof 16 weeks before he could resume in the AFL, I would have thought.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

His return could coincide with that of Brad Dick?

 

[Chris_6678]

I thought that the 12 weeks was when he can start playing?

Im pretty sure they said it was a 8-12weeks injury

But i would say he probably wont play till about round 15/16 which gives him a few games to freshen up for finals and he will be needed for the finals unless of course Hill is lighting it up before he comes back.

 

[Prem87]

His return could coincide with that of Brad Dick?

Would love to see Brad back in action and in form later in the year.

Can Nicoski, Hill and Dick all play in the same team?

 

[Chris_6678]

I think Nicoski could play with Dick or Hill but not all 3 as Nicoski has great defensive pressure on top of his goal kicking unlike the other 2 who do not ( from what ive seen off them to this date).

 

[GO EAGLES]

Would love to see Brad back in action and in form later in the year.

Can Nicoski, Hill and Dick all play in the same team?

No ! of course.

I even believe they will play just one small forward - Hill - against Bulldogs.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

When they say 12 weeks, is that until he's able to start training? If so, it's a minimumof 16 weeks before he could resume in the AFL, I would have thought.

Riewoldt and Gibson missed 12 weeks (11 games) in 2010 with the injury. So you'd assume that would include a couple of weeks of full running.

Kerr obviously missed something like 49 weeks with it. Lloyd missed most of 2006 with the same injury.

I guess it depends on how severe the tear is and the success of the surgery - the reality that they've put 12 weeks on it might suggest that hopefully it is closer to the Riewoldt/Gibson scenario then the Kerr/Lloyd one.

Rd 14 against Gold Coast looks like a nice spot to return after a few weeks in the WAFL

 

[Sunny_]

Just heard that Nico's injured hammy spasm'd and ruined all the repair work. Could be gone for a while.

Anyone able to confirm?
