Injury 2019 Injury Updates Thread

Brad Ebert Concussion Indefinite

This is a huge concern.

Was gonna find an Ebo thread and write if this could be an early end to his career like several players the last 5 years or so. Sounds like his career could be cut short.

Not as drastic as young SA country lad Justin Clarke who played for Brisbane and retired after 56 games at 22 years old a couple of years ago. Is studying engineering and wants to do a phd in supersonic research, so he is bright, but was told quit footy or you will lose your memory if you get another knock. Would have got the same advise if he was a tradie.

After the injury he was assessed by a neuropsychologist and his memory readings were out of kilter. His cognitive function was in the top fifth percentile of the population - thus he could still drive - but his memory was in the bottom 25th percentile – so he could not remember where he was going. The testing also detected the problem with his visual memory.

Dixon did a full session yesterday but pulled up sore. Having another scan tonight.

Put a thick black line through 2019.

Precaution and symbolism. Use this as an opportunity to give a second pre-season for them. Meanwhile, let our season begin anew from the bye onwards; not only for Robbie and Ebert, but for the whole club.

We are 4-4, anyway. Just consider the matches against Suns, Hawks, and Saints as JLT 3, 4, and 5. Then, let's begin our second 11-game season of the year in Perth, and move on from there.

Our season i already slipping away. If the docs say they're good to go. they're good to go.

I don't subscribe to the theory that losing will be better for us long term.

and call me crazy, but i still want to play finals footy this year.

Don't get me wrong. I concur with you. I want to win. I simply want Robbie and Ebert to be in great shape, and I believe that we could have a great second half doing what I suggested above.

If Robbie needs another week then no worries. More opportunity for younger players.

Yes. More game for Johnson.

Well deserved selection that one.

 

[Kiss from a Rozee]

Any news about Dixon or Ebert?

 

[RossFC]

Yes. More game for Johnson.

I was thinking Butters and Frampton.

I was thinking Butters and Frampton.

Lol. We both know Johnson is preferred.

 

[Spadge]

wouldnt surprise me to see Ebert play in a helmet for the rest of his career

Can't blame 'the footy gods' for the Wines one, that was his own stupid fault. And then we torched 150 years of history to make him captain. Gg Port.

We should sacrifice the three Ks to appease them!

We are being punished by the football gods for trading two of our best players for no good reason whatsoever.

No good reason?!

 

[PAFC_1870]

No good reason?!

Last time I checked.... we appear to be winning the trades too....

On a mountain in Peru?

 

[Kiss from a Rozee]

All the Ken Hinkley voodoo dolls aren’t working as planned and are injuring the players instead.

 

[GremioPower]

On a mountain in Peru?

In Alberton, for practical purposes.
