Injury Fremantle 2023 Injury Thread

[PeopleEater]

Nah.. This has Nic Nat written all over it. The West probably fed the stats algorithm to AFL360 to reflect when he had a couple of weeks off - explains the off the chart reading.

 

[Joao]

Either WC's depth is excellent or their system is.

System, but it relies on having multiple excellent forwards.

Their depth is pretty ordinary but as long as they get enough of their gun forwards on the park they are dangerous.

 

[Scham]

Yeah, weird one from champion data. They assign a points system where the value varies depending on the quality of player.

Ahh, champion data. Say no more.

 

[beetz]

I highly doubt they send him back on with a busted ACL, but if they did, I'm out.

Remember Tim Ruffles?

Freo sent him back on with a busted ACL.

His jimmies were definitely ruffled after that one.

You can definitely play with a torn ACL, Dale Morris did just before he retired for example, it’s unstable yes and often painful

With a shoulder if they suspect a full tendon tear you can hardly make it worse without fracturing it I guess so it’s normal to try and finish the game if the player can with pain relief and strapping, it’s not an ankle where further damage often occurs, Chapman Dunkley etc wouldn’t have made their shoulders worse prognostically, maybe in 60 years it’d be slightly more arthritic but they’d be in trouble anyway as a footballer

I just want to know what the value would be
if both Fyfe and Mundy were injured.

Shut the * up right now

 

[Superkoops]

But right after doing it? With the swelling post tearing an ACL that would be very unlikely. Done the injury myself and the joint instability (ie knee feels weird like it is sliding around - hence the physios Lachman test).

There are plenty of people who after the swelling goes down and joint stability improves (and with strapping) have played with torn or partially torn ACL.

Sounds like a troll as the incident involving Sturt looked more meniscus injury to me. The delay will be likely working out whether it is needing minor arthroscopic repair. It looked no where near as bad as APearce. APearce looks like being about a std 8 week recovery without surgery from his meniscal injury.

Some hope for us to build up... that can later be crushed when we instead get 5 mystery injuries in the days ahead...

Ryan holds out hope for surprise return

Fremantle’s injury report ruled out Luke Ryan for this weekend’s clash with Brisbane, but the Doig medallist says he isn’t giving up hope just yet.

[rgauci]

I’m pretty shitty we haven’t had an update on Sturt, Hughes or Banfield.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Hands up who put money on freo for top 8?


This is on you!!!!!!!!!

Fremantle are hopeful of seeing young gun midfielder Adam Cerra make his return in round nine against Essendon.

 

[apuchar]

Defender Alex Pearce is also a week away from a return to football.

Longmuir said Fremantle were eager to see Pearce return via the WAFL for Peel next weekend, however a WAFL bye next week will likely push his schedule back by a week.

“We’re pretty confident Cez will be right for next week,” Longmuir said.

“Alex is probably a couple weeks away. Unfortunately we’ve got a bye in the WAFL next week, which might set him back an extra week.

“He’s tracking really well. He’ll do some training today.”

 

[Mogumber]

Good idea to put Pearce thru a couple of WAFL games.
He's made of paper, so hopefully the WAFL can help him out

 

[Square Peg]

So why is Pearce in Queensland? Is he good at playing charades and board games to keep the ones that can play entertained?

 

[wayToGo_]

Because he is in the leadership group I'm assuming...

S& C staff etc. are also over there? Spotify play lists grand master? More music festivals near there?

 

[Big Animal]

btw, what happened to Hamling?

 

[sumavich]

Setback from a scan last week

 

[apuchar]

pushed back "slightly"

 

[ozzie69]

I'm hoping they let both Pearce and Hammer have a bit of a run with Peel to build match fitness and confidence before throwing them to the wolves. It's a long season, and in the next few weeks we should have Cerra, Hammer and Pearce available. To add to this Traecy, Henry, Sturt and Western are all on the path to progression to the senior list. Plus Giro, Meek, Bewley and Valente building as depth. The future is building.

 

[Bring back Drum]

Setback from a scan last week

That’d be right, setback getting a scan, *in X-ray machine collapsed on him!

So Freo!!

 

[nurries]

pushed back "slightly"

Slightly is Freo for 6-8 weeks

 

[Big Animal]

That’d be right, setback getting a scan, fu**in X-ray machine collapsed on him!

So Freo!!

would be funny if it turned out the usual scanner for Freo players has a scratched lens which they kept mistaking for scar tissue or bone fractures keeping the players out for TBC
