Injury 2024 Injury Thread

Ironically, no one sitting on the bench.

Didn't you see Valente there?

Sturt will slot in on a flank to the Freo Dockers "What If" team of all time.

Barlow/Hayden had amazing careers given their injuries but I reckon both would've been AA chances without the leg breaks. I had to slot in the two Harley's on back flanks. Morabito Captain as I reckon he would've got us over the line in 2013 and maybe another one and probably would've cost Fyfe his Brownlows - might have got one each!

B: Hayden - Woods - Pitt
HB: Bennell - Polak - Balic
C: Delaney - Morabito (C) - J Simpson
HF: Sturt - JLo - Dardy
F: Apeness - Hogan - Yarran
R - Clem - Barlow - Sylvia
Sub - Ruffles

I'd nominate Robbie Haddrill for a defender's spot.

Robbie Haddrill at fullback for mine, very good selections otherwise.

Gees there's alot of potentially good KPF that almost/never made it with us - Hutton, Polak, JLo, Hogan, Dardy, Yarran, Apeness - poor Pav, he just needed one to go along for the ride. Another what if Mitch Clark came home instead of going to Melbourne - as I understand it, we just needed to offer the Sheridan pick rather than Crozier pick...

Jeff White?

 

[The_Flood]

This is worth it's own thread

 

[clivenator26]

Jeff White?

More a what if he stayed more than injury. Clem over him in any case, Clem was so damn good.

 

[Superkoops]

Didn't you see Valente there?

I did at least I blinked a couple of times and he was there and then he wasn’t. Very allusive.

 

[DQ 4EVER]

Paul Maher the chf imo

Does anyone know if Clem had any kids ?
Just thinking how awesome it would be if there were Grandkids of the great TI running around and any chance of being drafted.
Surely we could ask the AFL to expand the father/son rule to a Grandfather son/daughter clause in this case!! (yes, I do understand the complete futility/ stupidity of that last statement….)

He does, I know as under 11’s he played at Kardinya as my son played against him. Dangerous forward but was long ago as my son is 19 now

 

[EastcoastDocker]

Doubt Clem would want his kids playing for Freo given how things played out

were devastating to our club. If we had the surgery capabilities we have now they both could have had great careers. You rarely hear of an ACL finishing the career of a 21 year old now.

Mora's first ACL was pre season 2011. Only 12 years ago. I don't think the quality of available surgery is any better now than then. Maybe the post surgery support at the clubs is a bit better now.

Michael did his knee in 2000 and it was only in between then and 2011 the comp stopped being half amateur hour. Wasn't his problem not so much the surgery as that the doc had him play on on it?

Also pedantry requires me to point out it was a PCL for Clem.

 

[Lach72]

Cox out for at least 4 weeks with a stress fracture in his fibula

They're calling it a "stress reaction". Is that just another way of saying fracture?

Was Michael more then ACL though? Seems to be a menscius problem which he was pushed to play on.
To be fair, Michael these days would be a forward anyway at his height of 1.92m.

McDonald come on down.

Would mean they caught it before a fracture occured

 

[Joao]

Not going to lie, Darcy and Cox off limited pre-seasons is pretty concerning. Need your key players firing.

 

[freo_leo29]

Not great

 

[freodog]

McDonald come on down.

Lucky we got him now. Any idea how he is going?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Classic off-season Brennan, I reckon the guy just wants to get out of the running

 

[FreoRicci]

The Hamling defenders will be out in force. Ah well.

The skateboard 'skin' injury last season was amusing.

Crazy to think his old man was a ruck at 188cm!
