Compartment syndrome ain’t no joke. I’d be very surprised if he were back in 5 weeks.

Jamie Cripps has a very similar operation in his first year. Missed around 8 weeks.

Lets hope its a Cripps situation

More likely a 10 - 12 week injury

More likely a 10 - 12 week injury

I Dr google’d it.
It would be acute compartment syndrome developed from a badly bruised muscle. This type of injury can occur when a motorcycle falls on the leg of the rider, or a football player is hit in the leg with another players helmet (NFL). Recovery period 3-4 months.
Tom Morris could be on the money & Gears could be out for the year.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Our backline has been absolutely decimated this year.
DMac, White, Marsh and Coff suddenly very important. Hope they can step up like Wilkie, Battle and Paton have.

ETA for Jake, anyone?

Roos said the one he had was last game of the year and reckons he would've missed 12 games

Lets see who want's to grab their chance and make the spot theirs

Henry Playfair is quickly learning what it’s like to be a resilient Saints supporter.

 

[Baldur]

Gears injury is really bad news for us, Not that he is a great player, he's not, useful roleplayer. But he is our back line general, without runners, players who can organise on field are gold. I think some of our issues last year was due to the loss of experienced players.

Hopefully the fact that we obtained VFL experienced players not 18 year olds will help us out.

Actually have great coverage for that position .

We also have Clavarino as tall defender coming back next couple of weeks.

Look at differently myself ..would Wilkie have played ....No

Would Paton without injury ....No

Really excited what Marsh can offer when gets fitness level , very suprised the level he was at coming from Tigers.

As for White & McKenzie great opportunities await including Joyce another forgotten one who has improved greatly.

For every negative situation that’s arose so far just galvanised playing group even more.

Absolutely, I agree with you.
Great opportunity for other players and, as you say, Paton and Wilkie have already grasped theirs.
Through adversity comes opportunity.

 

[Quixote]

The Geary injury really hurts I reckon. Fair gap between what he brings and what a Dmac or White brings, for mine. Will be watching it closely with fingers crossed.

Though I do think this group now has the tools to overcome the setback in the right way; I think losing their Captain with a war injury will spur them on, hopefully sharpen the collective resolve.

 

[#gosaintas]

I can't believe I'm actually disappointed that Geary's injured. He's been crap for years but this year he's been sensational. At least he'll be back for the finals, along with Hannas and Carlisle.

Tom Morris on the couch just said could be gone for the season.

the word is could.

may not happen.,

 

[sammm]

12 weeks is not the season.

 

[Mowman]

12 weeks is not the season.

As good as

 

[triggering bro]

As good as

I think if it looks like we will play finals he’ll return in the latter part of the season. If we are cooked by r18 why bother, he may as well finish the year up instead of coming back for the last few weeks.

I don’t think some people appreciate how bad an injury this is. It’s horrific. Gears is one tough bastard.

 

[Joffaboy]

The players have had set back after setback ans keep putting their heads up.

Back in the RTB bubble and earlier the players would talk about ' when its your turn to go, it your turn to go' mean body on the line.

If the players can't take something from the captains courage and commitment, they probably don't deserve to play finals.

Or in a nutshell, don't be Melbourne [emoji6]

Crisitunity!!

 

[Persevering Saint]

Ripe for finals.

It's potentially an interesting question: if we suddenly have Hanners, Geary, Carlisle available for finals, do we bring them in, or trust the players who got us there?

My natural tendency is to bring them in, but I'd feel bad for the blokes dropped for them.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Crisitunity!!

Hmm, sounds like a phrase coined over Easter

 

[CaptainRisky]

Lets not start with the finals talk just yet , we need to play teams like Collingwood , Richmond ect before we start getting ahead of ourselves , The loss to Freo was our best performance IMO as the others , well there is reasons why we beat them

 

[CaptainRisky]

Has anyone seen where Max is up to with his training and has Bytel been spotted at the club , love to know how the lad is doing

Its kind of unbelievable. Remember dicking around having Fisher and Delaney injured, and Gwilt and Simpkin being our tallest defenders? Shenton playing the Wilkie roll.

 

[AFLOnline]

Huge loss of leadership. Our defense just got significantly worse... and Betts just got significantly better against us.
