Injury 2025 Injury Thread

[Kbroome]

He's an injury prone player from the start of his career until the end of his career.
He'll be 28 when he plays his next game.
That's 10 years for not much return from an Academy kid who went for way too high a draft pick & who has cost the club a packet in investment in such a program.

But have no fear folks! We have the next rising star from our academy to look forward to.

Even with major injuries he is still playing on average 18 games a year.
In his draft class

			Games	Average Games per year
1	Jacob Weitering	Carlton	181	20.11
2	Josh Schache	Brisbane Lions	76	8.44
3	Callum Mills	Sydney	162	18
4	Clayton Oliver	Melbourne	183	20.33
5	Darcy Parish	Essendon	162	18
6	Aaron Francis	Essendon	74	8.22
7	Jacob Hopper	Greater Western Sydney	142	15.78
8	Callum Ah Chee​	Gold Coast	143	15.89
9	Sam Weideman	Melbourne	76	8.44
10	Harry McKay	Carlton	128	16

When you look at that table it wasn't the best top end draft but realistically he is still the 2nd or 3rd best player in the draft and we got him for what im guessing 4 picks in the 40s?

EDIT: we picked him up with 33 36 37 and 43

"Not much return" is an absolutely insane thing to say about a player like Mills.

That's a really unnecessary and over the top post there Ted.
Mills injuries have been a huge disappointment to all of us but that's just the way footy goes, a fully fit Mills is a wonderful footballer. Unfortunately his body keeps letting him down - arm wrestling aside.

And I really have no words for the Cleary sarcasm.

And then there were Sam and Ben Reid both winning flags , but imagine how good both would've been without injuries

 

[bedford]

Cornes now having a crack because we put Mills on a long term contract

Yep, some have the bodies that cope and some just don't.

Isn’t he the 2nd highest paid?

Ask Harley

 

[BloodySwan]

People already writing Mills off for the whole season

No point asking us, only the swans contracts people would know. Even the players wouldn't.

We went pretty much all year without him last season. Hope he recovers quickly but we can carry on without him.

That’s fair enough Jewelsy.
I went early while hot headed after reading about the injury.
I still think he won’t play until Rd 7-10.
Feet are always a problem for fitness because you can’t run so it will take a few extra weeks to be match fit.
Glad to have a crack at anyone caught with drugs.
The other choice is to go home & have a coffee. He chose to find drugs so he’ll have to cop what comes his way.

Understand your frustration, God knows I share it! Didn't think the Cleary crack was necessary that all.

Only when he is officially listed as 4-6 weeks

Matt Ling was always a few weeks away.

Foot injuries tend to take on a life of their own.

Is Cornes the second highest paid at SEN?

Snell has some kind of an injury to his upper right leg - quad maybe? I asked him if he was going to play on Friday and he hoiked up his shorts and pointed to some strapping high up on the thigh.

Players can't be blamed for most injuries. It's hard enough to maintain peak fitness in a non-contact sport. As long as the club did their initial homework, the medicos and coaches are competent and the player is prepared to work their butt off to recover, the rest is up to the beardy fellow in the clouds, the queen of karma, the bright orange criminal or whoever your god may be

He said he would be back next week , what changed ?

Guessing the results of the scan showed instead of it being soreness of the plantar fascia that it was in fact a tear and thats the reason why the timeline was extended. It is similar to Jagga Smith who Carlton and himself thought it was a minor injury and turned out he had fully done his ACL. Scan results can change initial thoughts around injuries

Geez your quick , do you sit on the media all day ?

I thought Ladhams looked pretty good v GWS. Good tap work albeit against lesser opponents and very committed in his follow up work. If there's any doubts over Grundy, just play big Pete.
