Injury Fremantle 2021 Injury Thread

[Piggy Smalls]

Switta has been our best forward so far too.
We are seriously f’ed. Why so many broken bones in the past few years? Too much almond milk and not enough calcium in their lattes?

Jesus Christ this is getting masochistic now. Switta out too.
“An extended period” is the new swear word at Fremantle.

Ahh Freo the club where players miss multiple seasons of their careers through injury.

 

[wakojako]

The club knew this and yet they refuse to play crowden...

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

As if they didn’t know about this injury after the Carlton game?

 

[DragoDelph]

6 weeks for a broken finger.
I just... can't with this week.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

The club knew this and yet they refuse to play crowden...

Crowden could still come in

 

[WaywardSonSon]

This is an absolute joke! Why did the club hide this information until today?! I am incensed!

 

[88mph]

Webber must be laughing his ass off right about now....

 

[DragoDelph]

Wouldn't have known the severity until he went in for work.
Some breaks are a simple fix, and you can still play, this one sounds serious and that they found more damage than expected.
I don't think we're smart enough to intentionally cover anything up.

 

[FreoRicci]

Schulz AND Switta on the same day.. yuck.
Henry will have to play. Sturt in. Crowden is a test? He comes straight in.
Man how unlucky is Switta. Finally got his body right, and breaks a finger. Poor guy

We should just hire a monkey with an electric handsaw to run our medical department at this point.

Another game with 20 odd weeks of injury. Is that 3 or 4 of the last 5 games (inc pre-season) that we’ve had those sorts of numbers? At that rate we‘ll have 15-20 on the injury list all year.

Lol. Lol. Lol. Because if you don't lol you cry.
If young needs surgery that suggests a grade 3. The hamstring is off the bone.
Season over.
Better than a knee I suppose.

If you were drafted to Freo you’d be genuinely concerned for your career longevity.

 

[Bush_Chook]

I’ve got a question for everyone. Is our run with injuries just down to a bad luck or is there systemic issues with our rehab at the club?
It seems like every season we struggle to get players on the park

 

[WaywardSonSon]

Okay, if Crowden comes in as a fit pressure-forward, we can still win this week!

 

[Wilksyy]

Nothing you can do about a broken finger and when a big doofus like Levi Casboult falls on your hammy you’re in trouble.

 

[tonygeeks]

Switta out for a while now with a badly broken finger. In a splint for 6 weeks.

FMD , how did he play the game out

Tough little bugger

At this point it has to be how we choose to rehabilitate injuries and the process of working players back into full fitness & football. Fix that, and we reduce the bad luck involved. Most clubs only have a couple of examples of players who regularly re-injure themselves, but even they manage to get good blocks of football out of them at least before then. Us on the other hand don't see our players last on the field or even make it there. I can think of at least 6 players on our list right now who I feel like will never have much on-field longevity based on current history.
