Injury Fremantle 2023 Injury Thread

[Snuffaluphagus]

Not that there is much positivity with our injury list but we are likely getting back 3 x B22 players either next week or the week after.

4 if you included Switta (Ryan, Pearce, Switta, Cerra)

Problem is that at this stage it seems inevitable that we'll lose a bunch more in that time

Hopefully continuing on didn’t do worse damage to the young bloke’s shoulder. He was going against kennedy as well later. Very brave. Put some weight on and he could be a superstar of the AFL

Chapman brave but what sort of medical assessment was made?
He is apparently facing a reconstruction?

 

[oldgoat]

This was obviously a lie at the time, you’re not gonna elaborate the extent of an injury of someone who’s currently playing and put more of a target on their back, the shifty eyes and pretty much whispering it didn’t help either

The CLUB should not have put him back out there.
Wrong call. Easy to see in hindsight, but many of us saw it in real time.
I was waiting/expecting him to be targeted/tested.

they might have played a preseason game or something together but
2017 - AP misses full season with broken leg, Logue plays 13 games in his debut year
2018 - Logue plays a few WAFL games but otherwise injured. AP plays 21 AFL games
2019 - AP plays 11 games before getting injured, Logue struggles with his injuries earlier before coming in as AP’s replacement
2020 - Logue plays 5 games before going down with turf toe, AP misses whole season
2021 - AP hurts his knee round 1, Logue has the world’s longest 3 week hamstring injury and is now back.

I never knew how hard I could simultaneously laugh and cry until reading this...

Our S & C guys, past and present really had no idea how to get players hardened to take the knocks and bumps of a season did they?

 

[Tbonefreo]

The only positive to come out of this injury list is we can now expect a draft pick which MAY be able to secure us a decent key forward.
Mind you I know nothing..I thought we had too many half back flankers but the powers that be knew we needed some spares

Funnily enough we actually needed spares.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Lachie Neale
Patrick Dangerfield
Josh Dunkley

All came back onto the field, then had operations.

It's standard.

Messrs Mundy and Pavlich may disagree with that comment...

 

[Taylor]

I hope it helps fans watching to appreciate the discomfort some of these guys are playing through when actual out for months injury feels like I can play through this injury.

Outliers

Outliers

For sure. There’s a reason only two WA based players have made it past 300 games though.These two are most definitely the exception to the general rule. AFL is a brutal occupation.

 

[Square Peg]

Have there been any updates today on the four blokes that were TBA and visiting their respective surgeons?

I got a message today saying acl for Sturt, but I don't believe her. The girl loves a good injury troll

in the same way that Morabito, A. Pearce, Bennell and others are outliers?

I guess I'm saying that the Eagles S&C / Medical team are thought of as "geniuses", but have never figured out how to get a WA based player to 300+ games.


Is our Medical / S&C team garbage, or do we just pick injury prone players

Surely it’s injury management. We couldn’t be this consistently unlucky. So I will go with option A

 

[Joose]

Meh..injury, schminjury.

JLo and the boys can handle it.

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

 

[Wilksyy]

Busted my acl twice there’s no way youre coming back on when that happens.

 

[Wilksyy]

Thought this was interesting on AFL360.

 

[Ogrebait]

Points?

What did it mean, points lost to injury?

 

[Wilksyy]

What did it mean, points lost to injury?

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

 

[Taylor]

Sounds like a controllable metric that would allow you to ensure results

 

[Wilksyy]

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

 

[apuchar]

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