Current injury list

[CFC2010]

Everyone's talking about Reid's injury as though it is known to be serious but I haven't seen anything released from the club as yet other than that he has a quad injury. As for Adams, why did we wait to have the finger fixed if we knew about it and could have done the op over the pre season?

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Gottya. Gone for quite some time then I would imagine.

Five weeks if he is lucky.

Because operations should not be the go to fix.
Natural recovery, if possible is better for the human body.
Also I think there is this wide belief that operations just fix things.

Anyone with chronic back issues that have had injections in the back or surgery would state, even such dramatic solutions are not the be all and end all.

Exhibit A : Elliott. A year out, of the game, and he’s had surgery.

We struggled to get over the top of Brissy in both games last year. Plus they should be one of the improving teams. I wouldn't take this one for granted either.

Are you forgetting we took Brisbane's best player and added him to our team

And we even got steak knives....

Who else has opened The Age website today, saw the face of Grundy staring at them and gone into a blind panic prior to scrolling down?

Thank God is all I can say.

Yesterday's list from The Age:

Collingwood: Taylor Adams (finger), Tim Broomhead (leg), Jordan De Goey (foot), Lynden Dunn (knee), Will Hoskin-Elliott (knee), Matt Scharenberg (knee), Daniel Wells (foot).

So it is get your finger out, put your leg forward and bend your knee if you don't want a foot up your .....

How good is it not to see Elliott or Moore in this thread.

Don’t go there TGG re Adams it’s a hiding to nothing discussion.

FWIW I don’t think it’s as cut and dried as surgery was always required.

Cheers Scodog10, I'll drop the bone and let others fight over it. Must admit, if Sier's status was clearer I would be much less concerned about Adams missing games.

Surely Elliot came off looking sore yesterday?

I hear ya! It’s the only area I can fault Walsh. Poor comms are better than no comms, but again it’s probably another topic not worth picking at.

How many times does it have to be said that he is fine and has been confirmed as fine?

I won't believe it till he is named against Geelong and actually takes the field at game time!

Looked like it to me -- but maybe it's a niggle more than a serious injury.

 

[Kirby]

I thought he just copped a knock myself and they didn’t want to risk him tightening up with his injury history. I’m quite happy they were cautious with him.

 

[Black_White]

This.
We have been burned before by the Collingwood “it’s all ok”, or “2-3 weeks” comments.
To be fair to the club, why would you telegraph your gameplan to the opposition?
For us fans, we would love truth and transparency.
But the club, the coaches, think differently.

Jesus. No. He cramped up, he wanted to come back on but the coaches benched him. Unless something happens between now and next Friday he is right for Round 1.

 

[swoopingseason]

Stephenson and degoey do you think they play round 1?

geez, that doesn't look so bad, apart from Shaz.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Broomy 1 to 2 weeks? Really?

 

[Jen2310]

Broomy 1 to 2 weeks? Really?

Yup.

Well, it's almost been a year since his broken leg. You'd think by now he would be around the mark to join full training.

Yeah in that context for sure, but I was under the impression he’s been labouring badly with the injury at training recently.
