Injury news for 2025. Hopefully this thread isn't very long.

 

[Stranglers]

Dear being available after Gather Round would be an awesome outcome. With the amount of preseason he's missed I'd resigned myself to not seeing him play till after the bye at a minimum.

 

[I got the outside word]

Phew. Still my least favourite thread notification.

 

[rdhopkins2]

I don’t think we will be in a hurry to rush Dear back (thinking long term). Get Calsher right, get him fit and get him back in the team with strong conviction after a game or two at Box Hill for some match conditioning.

 

[Roddy]

No rush on Calsher, he is a PRECIOUS talent with a potential 15 year career ahead of him....

 

[Holy Rioli]

Hearing Mitch Lewis could be back in VFL action as soon as mid to late April.

 

[TazHawk15]

Hearing Mitch Lewis could be back in VFL action as soon as mid to late April.

Fingers crossed

Love that he's loading up for a big torp.... kid is right as rain!

Someone posted a report on the Preseason thread that had Mitch at 13+ weeks. That would make it end May/June.

I did say VFL....wouldn't be back in the senior team before May.

I understood it to be 13+ weeks before he was ready to return to any level

Good to see our injury list is not that big compared to other clubs.

It's not but we have 2 key players on there who we need to get right as we know (Lewis and Calsher).

 

[Millsie69]

Massimo concussed apparently. So won’t play in the next two weeks.

Happened last week in the match simulation. He's every chance to be available for the Bulldogs clash.

Nice work mustang. Now we need to sacrifice a goat to get rid of all the bad chee with your silly comment.

Are they the escape goats that Essendon was looking for in 2013?

[Roddy]

I fret for CJ. I really like him, and I badly want the boys of African descent to do well, but I can't help but feel he's not going to quite make it. Mainly due to circumstances beyond his control.

 

[VandoHawk]

At least it's a hip and not related to his hamstrings. Hopefully he'll be good to go soon.

[Simon Crawshay]

For those with a bit of medical knowledge how bad is a hip injury?

Not a very common injury amongst AFL players I think?

Soft tissue related?

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Lucky we have depth. He'll be fine

Not really enough info to make too many deductions. We don't know if it's an acute injury or something he's been dealing with for a while.

My bet would be a joint issue like a subtle FAI flair, they usually settle with some rest if you get in early.

It doesn't sound serious, I can understand the concern given CJ's history though.
