Injury Fremantle 2023 Injury Thread

[Alfonz]

I'm about to list ALL 21 of the players we have brought in using first round picks that are in the "could still be playing" age bracket.

Drum, Palmer, Hill, Morabito, Apeness, Pitt, Simpson, Logue, Bennell, McCarthy, Hogan, Young, Chapman, Sturt. Most with serious talent. All with serious physical/mental problems. One good career (so far).

Brayshaw got his faced caved in.

Serong and Henry ... fingers crossed.

Will Cerra leave? Crozier and Weller did.

And then we are left with the one and only Tommy f*&*ing Sheridan.

It's truly incredible stuff.

JFC we are cursed. Even if you were intentially trying to fail, you wouldn't succeed at failing that spectacularly.

Conca and Aish were first round picks. And Matera and Wilson are underage pre-draft picks. Think Acres is pretty close to. Maybe end of 1st round compo pick.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

What strategies should he have had?

Ideally one where his left knee is not in valgus. Big risk factor for ACL injuries.

First rounders for other clubs. I'm only including players that we used first round picks on. And not counting Lobb as that was sort of a pick swap.

No we don’t but it’s not a good look , especially considering the disconnect between the initial diagnosis of “should be ok to go back on” to then less than a week later “out for the season”

They sent him out because they knew he required a full reco

 

[G Mus]

Hey I’m the first to admit I have NFI. But Logue has copped the “rower not a footballer” comments and I just wonder if less experienced players haven’t got the smarts to avoid injury. Probably nothing to it...

It’s a significant indicator in the ACL issue in AFLW in players that didn’t play AFL as a junior so it shouldn’t be ignored

 

[apuchar]

I'm not sure what the point of this is. If we had our best players available we would have a very good team.

 

[Madas]

Haven't been keeping up for a few days
Am I reading correctly that Sturt is out for the rest of the season ?

Yes and Chapman

I think ACLs are more representative in female sports than male generally speaking, no? I think we may be having control issues here. Plenty of vastly experienced footballers can have a wretched run with injuries.

 

[Daddoo]

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

I got a better idea. He might a bit restricted but I have a good feeling he’ll pull up well after a game.

There could be a correlation with picking up any sport later, or that gap between U12s/U13s with the boys and playing girls competitions and the athletes bodies not conditioning as well as those who never had years off

JFC

Yeah bit of a shock for you, if you were coming in blind.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Someone needs to list examples of players who had s**t runs with injury in their young days but then ended up coming good and playing full seasons.

Please- I need something to cling to.

Chappy I wasn't surprised with , kid was in a world of pain
Am astounded they send them back out after their shoulder pops .
But Sturt ........ had no idea , I thought he was ready to go .

I'm not sure why that would be a mechanism and would that be common in elite female athletes in basketball etc?

Here's one article:
Sports-related knee injuries in female athletes: what gives?

Some bits from the abstract:
Although injury etiology relates primarily to sports specific activity, female athletes are at higher risk of knee injury than their male counterparts in jumping and cutting sports. Particular pain syndromes such as anterior knee pain and injuries such as noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur at a higher rate in female than male athletes at a similar level of competition.

Although anatomical parameters differ between and within the sexes, it is not likely this is the single reason for knee injury rate disparities. Clinicians and researchers have also studied the role of sex hormones and dynamic neuromuscular imbalances in female compared with male athletes in hopes of finding the causes for the increased rate of ACL injury.

It's a complex set of issues. Another factor would be the ongoing growth anatomically, which can make the body more susceptible to injury. Surely a more direct and likely explanation.

You forgot his goggles, might be poked in the eye!

 

[arsesmart]

Also come good is Lachie's mate Lincoln McCarthy, Jaeger O'Meara (to an extent) and Shaun Burgoyne looked finished before going to Hawthorn.
