Hamstring is way better than calf.

Yeah. Hamstring is usually 2-4 weeks and that player is 100 % fit.

Bennells calf.... Yeah enough said

This won’t be a basic hammy, you can bet your bottom dollar.

I'm fairly sure any soft tissue opens you up to repeats of the same injury but also reasonably sure that calfs are worse than hamstrings for this. Someone to clarify.

I just find it amazing we are down to the bare bones when it comes to kpd injuries reminds me of 2016 when we were down to only 2 kpds and they were the worst 2 in the list in silvagni and Dawson.

I have more faith in Cox and Duman/Logue as our 2 key defenders if pearce and Hamling are both out injured and that says a lot.

Hogan is the only kpf out but confident having Lobb, Tarberner, McCarthy and Dixon and even O Reilly rotated up forward as talls.

Meek has to get games this year. I would be surprised if he plays no Dockers games unless he is injured all season. Surprised he didn't get a game in 2018 or 2019.

Maybe so. We got a tough month of footy in the fixture


1st 3 games are hard games anyway.

Did anyone listen to the purple reign podcast. They talked about how cox supposedley came off with a cramp however they raised a good point has anyone heard of a cramp in the groin.

It was back and Hamstring related imo.

could also be top of the groin/quad

Fork time, after the promising signs its back to reality for Freo supporters.
F the S&C

Every ******* year.

 

[Monument Hills]

In a kicking drill no less. I suppose we did have to replace Tucker on the list and a like for like was suitable.

S&C staying relevant as per usual

 

[ChimpaWompa]

I will choose to remember Blake as the guy who got a bunch of touches in the Marsh game, and not as a guy who got injured in a kicking drill. Vale.

 

[wayToGo_]

I'm very much looking forward to Woodcock's witty opener in his article about it...

Fremantle's Cemetery is pretty full but you'll still find Acres there.

There are different grades 1-3 for hamstring strains.

Grade 3 in layman’s terms is “Ham off the bone” (complete tear). These days they do surgery to speed up the recovery time but still looking at around 12 weeks or so. Nasty injury.

Hopefully no worse than Grade 2. That is a partial tear. That is more like 6-8 weeks.

Grade 1 is a strain and usually 21 days.

The fact that he is being sent off for scans isn’t a surprise but the fact they haven’t come out and said we anticipate mild strain but getting scans to confirm makes me think it is either grade 2 or 3.

Yeh, just the way it’s been worded doesn’t bode well for me. Will be shocked if it’s grade 1

Ok...... Interesting scenarios

2-3 weeks until the season starts.

So if its a 6-8 week layoff, Acres comes back around round 4-6?

If thats the case, he is going to have a crap 1st round of the season coming back to full fitness. Hoping he has a solid 2nd half of the season.

 

[Square Peg]

Reports in the training thread of him limping off are not reassuring. Most grade 1 will not have much of a limp. I remember our brilliant physios spending 10 minutes trying to stretch McPharlin's cramp out of his hammy on the sidelines of one game before they realised he'd torn it.

Lots of things can go wrong around the groin area, many of them after dark too.

would osteitis pubis be linked with it too?

 

[tonygeeks]

If we ever have to change our name the Cockburn Coldpacks has a nice ring to it

 

[Deveraux]

Is there a history of soft tissue with Acres? Was thinking of dropping a line on the saints board...

Is anyone expecting KH to interrupt Simon Beaumont’s program tomorrow with very upsetting news regarding Acres Hammy?

 

[PeopleEater]

*Sigh* I don’t fckn believe it, but I do. Every. Fckn. Year.

Who’s next? TBC no doubt

Well , on a positive note A kid gets a chance.......

 

[Scham]

It’s disappointing but most were saying just yesterday that our injury list was looking better, which it is, and Acres whilst going ok in the preseason isn’t going to be hard to replace for a few weeks.

Some are getting a bit overdramatic.
