Injury 2018 Injury Thread

[Fyfster]

It's not so much how many that was bad, it's the est. length of the injuries. Those TBAs were all full seasons except Bennell who managed just 2 games. Ballas was 8-10 weeks and Apeness 5-7 weeks - those are pretty lengthy times to be in rehab. Our current injury list has some quality players on it but the estimate for all (except Brad which we don't know yet) is a maximum of 2 weeks. Which is what it should be at the start of a season. Having 4 or so players with season ending injuries even before round 1 has knock on effects even if they aren't B22. Remember we also had a long list of players just coming back from season ending injuries the year before on top of that as well - and a lot of those were B22 (eg Fyfe).

True the length is much improved on last year , So from that perspective much better ,But still a very high percentage of the longterm ones were depth at best.With the exception of Alex and maybe Ballas , Bennell well i have sort of mentally removed him from the list anyway

Grade 1 tear for Brad Hill. Possible to be ready for round 1.

 

[DaveLister]

Brady Grey is out (injured) for JLT2, no idea what injury

 

[DaveLister]

Grade one quad for Hill

 

[Taylor]

Brad limping after changing would have been from the super tight wrap on his upper leg.

Is Grade 1 the best or the worst you can hope for. The baldy on Ch 10 sport mentioned "grade 1" and them described Brad Hill's chances for Round 1 as "remote".

Grade 1 is the least injured. The most minor.

Ususally 2 - 4 weeks for a full recovery. So touch and go for round 1. Can't imagine they'd risk anything.

If it were a grand final, he would play on Sunday.

Grade one is like how you feel the day after a hard workout.

The day after a hard workout...at the pub...I feel like I would fail Grade One.

I wonder what ASADA's stance is on Berocca for competition-drinkers?

Lift? Yes.
Bounce? No.

 

[Swiggy]

Is Strnadica injured?

 

[Carnthedockers]

So Ross has ruled out Harley and S. Hill. Brad Hill should be good for Rd 1

Feels like that’s b.hills first injury ...can’t remember him missing at hawhorn.

Hope he’s not like Stephen - doesn’t fully overcome an injury before returning.

He missed a chunk at the start of the season before he left the hawks.

"The 25-year-old's return date remains unclear with the Dockers still looking into the calf issues that ruined his first two years at the club."

 

[scon]

Freo speedster out, Harley still sputtering

 

[Unique Name]

Weird how he brought up Dahlhaus at the end.

 

[salim malik]

Weird how he brought up Dahlhaus at the end.

He was making the point that it takes a while for young players to reach their peak. Nothing weird about that.

I have been very positive about Harley mainly, but geez this is getting ridiculous now.
"Minor" 3 week calf my ass.

Yeh I agree, I didn't like the way ross spoke about it. Theres clearly more to it.

No I got the point. Just found it strange that he choose to specifically bring up Dahlhaus who is uncontracted this year. When he could have said 100 other player names to make that point.

 

[ydraw]

No Hills for round 1 would suck, who would start wings in their place?

Surely no D.Pearce

D. Pearce will be in the 22 for round 1. As will Spurr, Ballantyne and Johnson.
