Bloody hell, shattering

 

[Billy Not Really]

So he has the dreaded OP.

You're joking.

* sake. We can't just have more than 1 good player that isn't plagued by injuries.

"Aggressive off load",,,,in layman's terms is that rest?

In normal person speak, yes.

It appears a deviation from the standard practice of locomotion-based training.

Aggressive off load to deal with a "pubic overload".

Get ****ed. That ******* sucks.

What is with our young talent and getting severe injuries in the crucial formative years (years 1-4 of their career)?

 

[Hazey1977]

Without knowing the full details... I feel like we need to get smarter/harder on these calls, if he's out for >50% of the season he goes on the LTI and we give some one a crack via SSP.

Same with Turner.

I think one of our players must have shagged one of the footy gods missus or daughters. There’s no other rational explanation.

 

[Nylex]

2020 is out for LDU you’d imagine

Yep you'd think so. Looks like it takes at least a full year to recover from OP. Give him the entire 2020 off. Do not stuff him up for multiple years please north

No running, nothing below the waist.

Nothing?

 

[Passmore]

Nothing?

Not great news for a good looking 20 yo is it?

 

[Passmore]

No running, nothing below the waist.

Hopefully he can put the old grey matter to good use while he’s aggressively deloading. Have him study the oppositions best mid and learn a few tricks of the trade.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

2020 is looking less good as the days go by.

 

[tazaa]

I had OP when I was 14.
It sucks.
You don’t know why you can’t run.
You aren’t in any pain and you feel okay.
But it’s basically Trying to run without any hamstrings.
Your legs just won’t go.

He’ll have the year off and will be raring to go in 2021.
Just amazed the jump up in work rate is what’s caused this after two years at AFL level.

Tarryn picks up his midfield minutes and then let Taylor slot into the hff

 

[Billy Not Really]

Surely he's not missing the entire year, right?

How sure are we about the severity of this, plus the fact that it is OP. Seems like we're estimating timelines atm when the club hasn't given one themselves yet.

He's missing most of it at least by the sounds of it. It would be beyond idiotic by the club to rush his return in any way due to his age and the way that we all hope he will be playing in the long term (exploding away from packs). Also the wording by the club suggests no risks will be taken.

 

[dazzledavey36]

Geez this is disappointing. Was really looking forward to watching him play.

But bloody hell these OP injuries really died off years ago add now all of a sudden this just appears out of the blue.
