Injury 2024 injury thread

[Kbroome]

I hope we don't play Melican because one week of play is a lot less valuable than potentially stuffing up his hammy for a month like that of Rozee when Port tried to push it with his hammy 3 months ago or so

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Would need wheels

"Papley 4-6 weeks."
5 weeks = pre finals bye.

Hopefully goes good from here

If we have somehow been poor enough to end up in an elimination final rather than a qualifying final, then we ain't winning the flag. In which case I don't even know if I'd bother risking McInerney. Just wrap him in cotton wool so he's right to go for a big pre-season.

I kinda hate myself for thinking it ... but if (?) the club intends to delist Konstanty, then all this rehab feels like putting a new engine in a car you intend to send to the scrap yard.

We have a responsibility to look after players while they are with us. Anything other than that would be pretty poor.

I agree completely. The club will maintain a professional approach.

Its just my perverse feeling that I'll be disappointed if Konstanty gets delisted without ever really showing what he's capable of.

If it happens, he'll be mostly remembered as a first-round bust who maimed the skipper.

Legit there is zero excuse that is a very very good injury front heading into round 22.

 

[Cadsky]

The club has a duty of care for its players as long as they are contracted to the club regardless of its intentions.

Not once this season have I blamed injuries for our form and I still won't. Our form is 100% mental.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

So Papley back for finals but no JMac ?

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

There was a update?

 

[lazy77]

Probably. McInerney's injury always looked more serious. He was wearing a leg brace just a couple of weeks ago. It will be very lucky if he manages to come back at all this season.

Wow, I watched the VFL game and had absolutely no idea Will Edwards had done anything serious.

Amazing how frequently we seem to suffer severe injuries & major suspensions in the VFL.

Yeah I had to re-read

 

[wills2g]

As much as i love JMac if hes not back for the QF, he doesn't get to play any further finals games

Horse has to stick with known quantities

Will be rushed back, too important for structure

 

[melbournehammer]

if jmac is running now it will be a question of when he can make sideways movements. but he could get his aerobic capacity up running in striaght lines
