News 2023 Injuries, Suspensions, and Concussion Protocols

[Loose at HB]

Note to self: trading ALL future hamstrings regardless of who they are, what they’re averaging or what bullshit their club comes out with in terms of their return time frame.

This is beyond a joke at this point

Officially done holding Clarry. What a waste of 4 weeks that was.

Don't have stats on it but hammys definitely feel like the injury that is most likely to reoccur in the same year too. Might hold a bloke with a 2 week hammy, he'll play for 3 weeks then ping it again. Good call on just trading out players with hammys tbh

from a pure footy perspective I wonder if the Oliver situation is bad luck or bad management

Bit of both. Don't think he let it heal the 1st time. Was seen training pretty quickly afterwards. Then got the infection which put him back even further but I'm not sure what the issue is now.

Poorly managed i reckon. Shouldnt have gone back on the ground and probably got back on the track too early.

Could cost Melbourne a top four spot, and more importantly cost me a top 100.

I m saltier than salt pork.

Yep 100% trade from now on with any hamstring or calf injuries

Was telling myself yesterday that I am now trading any injury that isn't a concussion, sometimes it will backfire like it did with Stewart but would of saved me so many headaches with Clarry. They give us 36 trades now so that's 6 extra from a few years back.

This happens every year, with Clubs lying about injuries ....

4 week injury prognosis becomes 1 week in reality
2 week injury prognosis becomes 6 weeks in reality

This season's injury / Suspension quota has become ridiculous

Looks like he is taking it well. Hope he told that flog to get F’d from all us SC’s that have him.

Anyone good at lip reading?

Im sure some kent out there will make a parody of it.

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Dunkley has a calf injury.......

Ha ha yes but I only have one trade so can’t trade both

 

[BOMBERBLITZ]

Any lip readers here?

He doesn't look happy whatever was said to him by the trainer.

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Clarry to trainer- mate I’m fine, I’ve been right to go for a month now but you and goody held me back as you had crucial supercoach games to win and your opponents had me in there side. I helped you guys out by sitting out, but teams have continued to hold me.

I will do the team thing and sit out the year now or until I reach zero percent in supercoach teams.

Trainer to clarry- thanks mate for being the ultimate team player cheers. Hopefully you will be classed as a burn man and be a nice pod next year.

Warner, Oliver and Dunkley..

Warner, Oliver and Dunkley..

You out of trades? That's too many premo's sitting on the bench surely?

 

[kyri]

Not yet. 1 of the 2 remaining is Warner to Bont. Held Oli this long, will just have to wait a bit longer.

23rd premo I got last week was meant to cover short term injuries... just not this many.

There will be a stage when there is no choice but to hold injured players. Really, I should be holding Warner too.

 

[Faz 2000]

The premos I've traded this year due to (expected) lengthy stays on the sidelines, and whether it turned out to be right:

Stewart
Steele
DCameron
Docherty
LDU
Mills
Sicily
Oliver (but held for 3-4 weeks first, so )
