Injury Fremantle 2020 Injury Thread

[Bring back Drum]

My source re Hamling has said there are two scenarios - wait 8-10 weeks and he may not require surgery. If he does require surgery he will only get it in October, would make him a tentative/unlikely start for round 1.

The former would see him back on track well before preseason.

Don't know any more ins and outs other than that.

Thanks StingBitten, your source has been pretty spot on so far. Has anything been mentioned in regards to his mobility after going through all this & is there any risk of the injury ending his career?

No one lost an arm in rehab this week which is a nice change, though, with the positive news of Henry, Young and Serong all re-signing shortly I'll hold my breath until teams are announced

Is that Giro? if so he’s a little larger that last year

Nothing career ending. He's maintained that the club medicos bungled things with him a bit but that COVID has been more of the stressor in not getting the surgery attended to. He's more annoyed in needing to even travel to Melbourne rather than have this sorted in Perth - his short career at the Bulldogs revealed a much superior medical system and treating specialists.

I think he's satisfied where things are at - he will be back sooner rather than later.

Think we might have subcontracted Dorothy to pick up something down the yellow brick road for Blake.

Or did he trip over the hole that Alice in Wonderland was lost in. He really needs to switch off that night light.

 

[MadMundy]

Sounds like positive news for Hamling. I just wanna see him, Pearce, Ryan and all the others back out there in our defence again.

 

[Van_Dyke]

I think someone mentioned Acres calf again during the week from a radio interview?

suffered a calf strain at some point, didn’t play v Carlton in the scratch match on the weekend, set to return to full training this week (source: The West’s write up of JLs presser on Friday)

Yet somehow wasn't on the injury list?

Go figure.

yeah mystifying that one (meant to be training this week, typo on my end)

That's a fairly common scenario for injuries. Surgery is actually a last resort - there's quite serious risks associated with even minor surgery.

No doctor would advocate surgery as a first resort (if there's a chance of healing without surgery)

Cutters usually want to operate to fix something though, it's what they do. Surgeons and athletes would probably get on really well outside of work, very confident in their own ability to fix the whole world via their trade - because they have to be.

As we in the trade say ‘If in doubt cut it out’.

Its a wonder why teams like Geelong, Brisbane, Port and WC (up to a week ago) have been flying with the low number of quality players missing.

Battle of the season ending injuries this week.

This is what I meant the other week when someone posted that tweet about Freo never averaging less than 5 players on the injury list in a season as if it was some damning stat in and of itself. I don't follow other teams' injuries much but if that is anything to go by it would be pretty rare to average under 5.

 

[Purple Jesus]

4 season ending ankle injuries eh

I would like to say its a record, but with Webber, it may not be.

Hawthorn rolled the dice with Omeara and Sicily. Not quite working for them.

Pity for Logue. 4-6 weeks and haven’t changed.

much of the frustration comes from the names on the list. Ours always seems to involve a good portion of our best talls and/or a key mid or two.
Richmond for example have Prestia from their most important players out for a period. West Coast have 3 from their best 22 and two of those just made the list. If we had 20 or 21 of our best 22 available even if we had 5-10 on the injury list, I for one wouldn't be complaining.

Are you confusing Sicily with Scully?

I don't know where whoever posted that got the stat from but it sounds more like it'd be 'average B22 players'. In that case under 5 would be above average and we've clearly been over it this year and expect most the past few years.

 

[FreoRicci]

Yes. Didn’t see that properly. Instantly thought was Scully.
Pity about Omeara though. Injury consistently stopped his potential

 

[Lach72]

Logue only 3 weeks away according to high performance manager Peter Bell...is there no end to his feathers


And Switta is back...he'll play against the GWS seconds this week...Lobb is ok.


Meek out for a fortnight with a calf

 

[Bastyy]

Wow Weber's gone and we're seeing instant results! (Don't take me seriously this is just a joke)
