I have gone here in the past and raised some questions about this - or at least suggested we needed to change things up a bit ...
Our recent history recovering from knee surgery has been deplorable - with players either re- doing the knee or never getting proper motion back in the knee. I wonder just how much the club have looked into it and compared it to recoveries by players at other clubs - typically under Julian phellers knife...
Smith x 2
Libba Snr x 2
Darcy x 2 ( or was it 3?)
West and Cooney cleanups - never recovered
Grant - never really was himself again
I'm actually trying to think of a success surgery in the last 2 decades - sure there is one but I simply cannot recall.
Did Higgins do one? Murphy?
This is not getting into other players who have also had surgery.. The likes of johno who was never the same after surgery or lake who took 3 years to recover. Especially shoulders
We have all these backman or ruckman who have had shoulder surgery last two years
Williams
Roberts
Roughead
Campbell
Cordy
Talia had a clean up from memory.
I just hope this short history is being taken into consideration by the club !
