What's the usual time frame for an AC joint ?

6 weeks I think?

Crozier must be halfway through his rehab by now?

Crozier must be halfway through his rehab by now?

Crozier is now listed as 1-2 weeks.

Another positive development is that McLean is now listed as 8-10 weeks which is great. I don’t recall seeing a definite time period on his recovery before this week?

On the Barkly St podcast he said he hoped to be back for the second half of the season.

Massive for our forward line, McLean is as tenacious as they come. He’s tough like Vanders too hopefully McNeil/Cav or one of the other smalls lock down a spot by then. McLean would be loving our forward line right now

Imagine McLean as a straight swap for McNeil in our team. McNeil probably should have another few goals to his name if he was a bit cleaner, which Toby is.

Lachie McNeil reminds me a lot of the way Toby plays only he is quicker. He has a block of games to prove that the spot is his and that Toby needs to re- invent himself again.

I would take McLean over McNeill anytime

 

[ScragCity]

Will Gardner now go onto the long term injury list? If so it would make a lot of sense to pick up Rance in the mid season draft.

it would make a lot of sense to pick up Rance in the mid season draft and send him to rehab

Good to see Crozier training today

(knee) 6-8 weeks

Crozier looks to be available so will probably come straight in for Caleb.

Toby was 8-10 weeks last week and is now at 6-8 weeks this week. Recovery must be progressing really well.

 

[X_box_X]

Awesome

 

[Bulldog Brent]

Williams 2-4 weeks.

VDM good to go.

 

[Golden_6]

Pretty good news for Williams I'd say. Collarbones heal very well and tend to heal stronger than before, and quite quickly. An AC joint would've been an ongoing issue to worry about.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Williams 2-4 weeks.

VDM good to go.

I thought Williams would be longer so it’s not too bad.

 

[dogwatch]

What brought on VDM's back spasms?

His susceptibility to soft tissue injuries is a worry so early in his career.

 

[X_box_X]

THE UNDEFEATED Western Bulldogs will be forced into a defensive reshuffle with Bailey Williams to miss up to a month with a collarbone injury.

Williams was subbed off during the third quarter of last week's big win over Gold Coast with scans later confirming a fracture.

He will undergo surgery on Monday.

"In the third quarter, Bailey came to the bench after a heavy hit to his collarbone," head of sports medicine Chris Bell said.

"Scans have confirmed that he did fracture his collarbone and that required surgery today.

"In the next couple of days, we’ll confirm his plan, but expect him to miss the next two-to-four weeks."

 

[Bulldog Brent]

Wonder if he’s a smokey for the Tigers match ....

Wonder if he’s a smokey for the Tigers match ....

Maybe a bit too risky. Hope we play the long game.

 

[bresker]

Jong, Hamstring requires surgery 10-12 weeks.

poor old Jong. He’s fine & durable in the VFL, but the mere scent of grass in the seniors requires a lengthy layoff. I hope he’s mentally OK. Did he do an ACL at one point or am I inventing an extra injury?

Im unsure of the ACL, but i though they took a tendon from there for the last hammy. Poor buggers body is just shot.

At some point he'll have to consider what his quality of life might be when he gets older if he keeps going down this path.

thinks about us sending Josh back out after he had the shoulder popped back in the first time?

Can’t blame him for being annoyed as it seemed a strange decision to send him back out with 10 mins left and the game well within our control.

Maybe Josh overruled the medicos and said get me out there and see how it goes?

Hate to dis our medical staff, as they seem great people but we do have form here (Clay Smith

Even if the player declares himself aware of the risks involved by going back out there, surely the club doctor has the authority and duty of care to go ‘sorry young man - you are done for the night’.

 

[Libba39]

Suddenly the injury list looks not so good.

Amazing how things can change so quickly.

Players we can least afford to lose from here are Bont, Keath, Naughton, Macrae, Martin.
