Injury 2016 Injury Updates Thread

[OneGreatClub]

The concern about all these soft tissue injuries is there is increased risk of re-injury once a player has sustained such a thing. So..next year This sucks, truly. Employ a soft tissue prevention specialist and review that hammy machine.

 

[Doctor Feel]

pls be another injury so we can give another debut.

Inb4 out: pittard in: o'shea

 

[Forzaport]

If 2016 could be summed up in one word it would be tightness...or WADA.

 

[Pappagallo]

There are far too many soft tissue injuries (esp calves hammys etc) for it to be a coincidence or bad luck. I'm no high performance person but is the deck at Alberton too hard ? Too much running in pre season... Everything needs to be looked at.

I've had similar thoughts.

In the Cup of a Carpenter thread REH outlined the ridiculous amount of knee injuries that plagued us in the late 90s/early 00s, now we're seeing lots of leg stuff.

Maybe it wasn't an issue in the SANFL days because the players were amateurs/semi-pro and didn't train on the track as much as the AFL players do. Who knows?

It's worth looking at though.

I was sill hoping for finals, we are cooked now!

Oh well, the only thing we have left is de railing the Crows season by getting them out of the top 4.

I don't think Hartlett is the difference between us winning and losing.

If our season gets euthanized against Sydney we should manufacture a "bye" for the senior blokes, play the kids against Melbourne and then go in hard (i.e. really hard) for the Showdown.

[Janey]

Any connection between all these injuries and the departure of Jovanovic?

 

[bomberclifford]

Pittard. Ironic tightness.

FTFY

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Didn't know he was gone/going ...

 

[Pappagallo]

FTFY

Nah Westhoff will be a late out with ironic tightness. Replaced by Mitchell.

 

[Jonts]

I'll say it again
I'm not going to crucify burgo as his errors have been on the overloading rather than under loading side of fitness

It's a very fine margin between the being the fittest and being overtrained

Let's just hope he is learning from it

Science says the biggest risk chance of recurrence is anywhere between 12-63% within the first month of return from injury, with the risk factors declining over time. It takes up to 12 months for a return to pre-initial injury risk in healthy young athletes. There is also strong evidence to suggest that a history of OP or groin complaints has a strong correlation to lower limb muscle/tendon injury at a later date. Further studies showed a marked increase in occurrence of soft tissue injury post major knee injury (eg, ipsilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction). Interestingly, these stats were independent of graft selection. (i.e didn't matter if the person selected to graft their ACL from their Hamstring). Further interesting information here includes the fact that indigenous Australians also have a higher risk factor for soft tissue injury.

Just a few weeks ago another poster here (can't remember who) said he had stopped working for the club but couldn't/wouldn't elaborate. Maybe changes are afoot.

Polec, Clurey and Snelling agree.

Polec, Clurey and Snelling agree.

Well spotted, wasn't intentional though.

I'm in the same boat.

Burrgo has stressed time and time again you can't over train AFL footballers.
