Really bad luck for the kid.

Hopefully it is only a few weeks.

The VFL side is light on in talent as it is........

How about the fact players who tear hamstrings are more likely to tear muscles in the future?
At 18 that's not an issue when his muscle growth hasn't settled until 22. From 22 onwards hamstring injuries can become cumulative, prior no issue.
 
Shame for the kid but injures are part of the game unfortunately.

I'm no expert on injuries but surely 18-23 year olds are not suppose to get hamstring/soft tissue injuries so often. Surely it should be the older players getting them more often. Maybe Daveron just works the young players too hard.
 
Other clubs are getting players injured too. It's bad luck, but not unusually so for us this year. I'm afraid there is no scapegoat for this.

Would've thought the kids stepping up the work rate into the AFL system would've been pretty prone to soft tissue injuries with the increased workload myself.

Take a look at the top 15 in the 2013 AFL draft. Pretty much all of them have had an uninterrupted injury run and slotted into clubs best 22 (or close to) already.

Which are the only two kids who have had long injuries? Freeman and Scharenberg... We are either the most unlucky club in the AFL or there is something seriously wrong with our program.
 
If he has done tendon damage, Marsh, Freeman and Sinclair have done tendon damage as well as Moore. 4 players with hamstring tendon damage in a 12 month period would indicate a major issue with training loads set by the fitness head.

Scharenberg did a knee and was drafted with a known long term injury, I seriously doubt it was anything to do with our program. And I'd say Freeman was extremely unlucky to tear his hammy in the NAB Cup like that for sure.

Was Scharenberg's ACL pure bad luck? Or did it have something to do with him returning to footy without the muscle mass to support the knee? I think it's too much of a coincidence to say it was 100% bad luck when he does an ACL as soon as he returns... the club has to take some of the blame for that one. Of course the foot issue is completely different.

Saying every injury is bad luck when they just keep happening is such a cop out. If these things were rare then sure, but not when they consistently happen over many years.
