Sounds like we'll get a few boys back after the bye in round 5.

Fingers crossed. You're never gonna get through a season without at least one injury crisis in a particular area. Let's hope this is our one and only this year.

If another mid goes down... oy.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

re. Adams - good to hear from Horse that the brace is off.

 

[BloodySwan]

Just the worst luck for Sheldrick. It's weird he was an emergency for the Thursday match, or was there another practice match over the weekend?

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

Fingers crossed.

Not sure we're anywhere near that yet.

Ankle syndesmosis late last year, knee injury mid-2022, hip soreness over the summer, finger injury now. No connections between them or a sense of recurring issues like Ling had with his foot.

At least a little finger injury, that doesn't require surgery, means that he can keep training (for the most part), and keep his fitness levels up.

Last season it was KPP's now it's inside mids. Amazing how it's actually coming in groups. Next it'll be all our smalls.

Should tell Hannebery to invest in a personal trainer. Might be a spot for him on the list in a couple of months.

 

[The King!]

Can the midfielders all be locked in the new headquarters and just let out on game day

Big Brother style?

Just a hunch but I reckon Justin McInerney would definitely be the first one voted out.

Lmao last year it was our KPD this year its the mids to be wiped out.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Heard he injured it playing thumb wars with konstanty.

Broken collarbone too, in his 16’s year.

It’s all impact injury, not stress fractures or soft tissue related - so can be put down to bad luck, not a predisposition to injury ….. but sheesh, he’s surely due a run of good luck.

This is an unpopular AFL opinion, but I am not convinced that it is just about luck. Some players, get themselves injurred by doing just a little more than was necessary and putting themselves in danger.

Rohan did it regularly (IMHO).
I hope Sheldrick doesn’t go that route.

I don't know how this would explain someone like Luke Parker though, who is as reckless (in regards to his own safety and wellbeing) as any player we've had yet has been incredibly durable. Others like James Rowbottom and Nick Blakey are stupidly tough and have managed to avoid injuries that have made them miss much footy.

So I think it largely can boil down to luck. Falling one way here, landing awkwardly one way there. An inch or two being the difference between a rolled ankle and a broken ankle, a hyperextended knee or an ACL, a tweaked finger or a fractured finger.

Maybe your comment belongs in the unpopular AFL opinions thread
