Current injury list

[unplugged]

8 weeks? You'd hope it'll be less but knowing us it'll probably be 10+, returning after the bye. Back Round 14.

 

[jackcass]

"Problem persisted for a number of weeks"

Which is code for, he did it late last year and we are only acting on it now.

"The finger continually displaces"

We just seem to be clueless with injuries.
Love to hear the thinking behind allowing it to persist for weeks, a finger continually displacing isn't normal.

No surgery is without risk so it'll always be the last option. Not sure why it's an issue that less intrusive options are trialled first.

 

[Gaben]

Classic Collingwood medical staff. 'We've waited as long as possible for a miracle but Taylor has finally convinced us he should see a specialist. We are extremely happy we've beaten the round 1 deadline and now Taylor will only miss 6 weeks of football.'

 

[jackcass]

Maybe deciding to do it due to injury status of others and being able to cover it ???

Nah, doubt that'd even be a consideration.

 

[Jen2310]

Remember when De Goey was meant to be sidelined for longer than 2 weeks? Tay will probably be back round 2 lol He is that hard nut.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Eight weeks not good.

The type of injury ( only a bloody hand) keeps me encouraged. Nothing serious or likely to be long term

 

[Finnishpie]

Looks like we'll be making use of our depth....

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

"Look we made a Grand Final without our best 22 so we don't see why we should change that tactic for 2019"

JK. We'll def. miss Taylor in the Rd 2 match but would prefer he's fit and fighting for Rd 22 to be honest.

 

[Snoop Dog]

So who is definitely out for Rd 1;

Adams
Scharenberg
Dunn
Broomhead
Hoskin elliott
Wells

Howe / crisp ?

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Given that Tay can keep up aerobic fitness during recovery, missing the first two rounds is not an apocalyptic scenario.

If JDG and Howe are right we're really only looking at Tay and WHE missing (not confident Dunn will be ready by Round 1).

Adams
Scharenberg

Broomhead
Hoskin elliott

Howe / crisp ?

Crisp has been back out there for a few weeks now, and the video released today indicated Howe is back training. They could be good to go.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

“Finger continually displaces” sounds like a Boutonnière deformity. If I were him I’d want surgery too. Tendon surgery would also explain the longer timeline than for a fracture.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

If you're going to have injuries, it might as well be in the area we have the most depth.

 

[ash84]

Nothing on SEN or Pies website...…..you sure you heard right?

Lucky it won’t effect his training, when he does come back will be fresh

Rubbish. Surgery is 99% successful. This isn’t 1890.

Surgery can be successful, people are not dying on the table or getting septicaemia, that’s true these days, but equally it’s not a magic pudding.

Back surgery doesn’t mean your back
Is ever perfect. Knees surgery same.

Finger surgery doesn’t mean the hand is good as gold fresh and perfect.
Surgery can assist and can overcome difficulties but it doesn’t mean it’s the first and best solution.

I have a feeling our surgeons on these boards will have a better idea of these matters.

 

[Scodog10]

We do have lots of mids to cover him. who would you put in? Shame he will miss the first GF re-match and Richmond game. But we play both again, so we can come back in force.

I think you could go a few ways.

With JDG now appearing to be a probable not possible maybe you select another fwd then throw JDG through the midfield. Alternatively if it’s a straight up replacement then Wills seems the obvious candidate to me. You could even put Aish through the middle and give IQ a run.

IMO, injuries to mids at this time of year, whilst not ideal, are opportunities for others to press their case rather than issues to be concerned with. Until we reach critical mass of course!

 

[THATSGOLD]

Another one bites the dust.

 

[THATSGOLD]

He heard right. He needs surgery and a bone graft.

 

[THATSGOLD]

Feel the same about Broomhead. Apparently he could play a game in 2 weeks??

Broomhead will never be the same, it ended Browns career.

 

[TheGreatSwan]

Crazy stuff! Would love to see how many games lost to injury since Bucks started coaching

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Another one bites the dust.

He is still alive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boutonniere_deformity#Treatment

Usually treated with a splint placing the proximal interphalangeal joint in extension for 4–6 weeks. Occasionally surgery is needed when splinting is unsuccessful.

Sounds about right to me

Hmmmmmm. The irony seems lost on you, irrespective of the year.

So there's a 1% risk...Therefore, "...not without risk".
