First 2 seasons - youngster.
Next 4 seasons - good number of games played. Every player has an injury every now and then.
Arrives at Carlton - can't stay on the park.


Only became truly injury prone after he got here.

 

[Mondyboy]

Cuningham on the weekend, Martin now. All we need is Marchbank for the perennially injured trifecta.

Just thinking that.

I genuinely can’t remember the last time we had a settled year when it comes to injury.

This is also murdering our development through the VFL.

You end up with games like the one against the Cats where a bunch of first years and VFL journeyman can’t hold to together against the Cats and lose by 16 goals.

Our injury problem has really got to the point where it has to come down to training, preparation and recovery. Yes we have a group of injury prone players but it's looking more and more like the problem is something else and something we are doing wrong. You get this many calf and hamstring strains there is a problem with how the players are being managed.

Even if they are injury prone. Russell has had 6 years to figure out how to manage them.

 

[YamandU]

No issue with S&C or training loads. Nothing to see here !!

Isn’t Cerra the same regarding hamstring injuries ?

 

[Rustica]

 

[Pablito]

Send him to WA asap.
Played 15, 11, 12, 13 and 1 game this year.

Rubbish

He was injury prone when he was at the Sun

Same as Gov at the Crows, same as Marchbank from 16 years of age, Cuners as a junior, same as Williams

Focus on the recruiter with these names

 

[RPCB]

At least we will get a feel good email in a week that the Ikon Park redevelopment is going well and they are now in Phase 14 of the process. Exciting times ahead.

 

[JJBagger]

Cerra had previous issues with hamstrings before coming to us

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Isn’t Cerra the same regarding hamstring injuries ?

Basically

 

[Rustica]

His calf muscles are bro brittle than 1 ply toiler paper.

 

[Soapy V]

I’ve had enough. You can’t win Flags with a large group of injury prone players

Marchbank Martin Cuningham need to go at years end

Akuei Mirkov Young can join them along with a few others

No. Its not rubbish and readily available data. 16-20+ games a season is not injury prone that's normal. I didn't say shit about gov. I don't need to talk about the recruiting strategy of finding players with injury history to get them cheaper. That's what Carlton did. It's done. We've also got this data to look at too and more

 

[AndyLucimitis]

I can't believe he has actually played 150 games ??

 

[JJBagger]

So what was he doing with the 6 games he didn’t play every year. Twidling his thumbs at home?

He was injured constantly at the suns

Basically

Yes. Cerra is injury prone. We have a core group that are unreliable.

Always a combination isn’t it. No doubt we have injury prone players but there are reasonable question marks on our strength and conditioning. Brad Lloyd and Andrew Russell should be held accountable to some degree.

He suffered calf issues while he was at the Sun, do some research

Suns' Martin struck down by calf injury

A calf injury could keep Gold Coast's Jack Martin on the sidelines for the remainder of the AFL season.

Question should not be "is Russell at fault?" Instead it should be has there been a positive ROI since his acquisition to the club? We have had significant injury problems for over a decade (arguably back to 2012) and there has been little to no improvement...

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Yes. Cerra is injury prone. We have a core group that are unreliable.

Yes exactly. Balance. It isn't all one thing. It's clearly a mixture of all of it.

 

[Jimmae]

Scar tissue builds up though, so if there's a biomechanical issue that keeps creating a problem, scarring could work either for or against mitigating that.

On the plus side, there's absolutely no chance we've paid him anywhere near his maximum TPP estimate

Spot on. Great post.
