Injury Update- Josh Gibcus

Friday, March 15, 2024

Scans have confirmed that young Richmond defender Josh Gibcus suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in last night’s match against Carlton at the MCG.

Gibcus, 20, landed awkwardly on his right knee in the second quarter of the match. The injury will end his season.

Richmond General Manager of Football Performance Tim Livingstone said the entire Club would rally around Gibcus throughout his rehabilitation.

“We are all incredibly disappointed for Josh. It is horrible luck after what he has already encountered on the injury front in his short career,” he said.

“Josh battled through last year with his head up and had put in a mountain of work to get himself back to full fitness for this season.

“We view Josh as a long-term player for us and an important part of our future, so we will give him all the support he needs and help him throughout his road to returning in 2025.

“He is still so young and has a lot of football ahead of him after this setback. We know, the character and professional he is, that he will attack his rehab first-class and return stronger.”

Gibcus played 18 games in his debut 2022 season after being selected with the 9th pick overall in the 2021 AFL Draft.

The key defender missed the entire 2023 season with a hamstring injury, but after a strong pre-season, he was included as a key part of the Tigers’ AFL lineup for the past two matches, taking his career tally to 20.

In a month having Adams, Parker and Sheldrick back will help the Swans quite a bit. So basically after our round 5 bye they should all be ready to go.

I just hope we don't get too many injuries this year.

WOOD INJURY UPDATE

Mason Wood will undergo surgery in the next 24 hours following a confronting incident in last night’s win against Collingwood.

The 30-year-old was stretchered from the ground after colliding mid-air with teammate Zaine Cordy in the first quarter of the game.

Wood received a concussion as a result of the clash, but will now also undergo surgery to repair a broken collarbone.

“Obviously you’d prefer your players not get injured at all, but considering the angle and way Mason landed, we could’ve been dealing with something far more serious,” EGM Football David Misson said.

“Mason’s set for surgery in the next few hours, which is a great start. He’ll now get his rehab started pretty much straight away.

“We’ll have a better idea of a return to play timeline after his initial recovery from surgery - we think it’ll be around the 6-week mark, but we’ll be able to provide a clearer picture early next week.

“If we know anything about Mase it’s that he’s extremely diligent and professional in how he looks after his body, so we know he’ll be doing everything he can to get right and be back on the field as soon as possible.”

Meanwhile, Liam Henry will undergo a scan to assess some hamstring tightness.

“We took Liam out of the game towards the end as a precaution,” Misson said.

“We’ll provide a further update once we have those results back.”

LIAM HENRY INJURY UPDATE

Liam Henry will miss a minimum of six weeks after scans today revealed a high-grade left hamstring strain.

Henry, who was one of St Kilda’s best players in last night’s win over Collingwood, sat out the final minutes of the game with suspected severe cramp, however further assessment revealed a more significant setback.

The latest update follows on from Mason Wood’s concussion and collarbone injury from the opening minutes of Thursday’s match, which will sideline him for a similar period.

“This is obviously a terrible blow for Liam, who has impressed in his first two games at the club,” EGM Football David Misson said.

“Liam’s setback is far greater than we initially thought, especially given he has never had an injury of this type before.

“At this stage, Liam’s return-to-play timeline sits at approximately six to eight weeks.

“The shorter turnaround between games early in the season has presented its challenges, however we have full confidence that Liam will attack his rehab with the same intensity he does on gameday to make himself available as soon as possible.”

Scans have confirmed Brisbane Lions defender Tom Doedee has sustained a partial tear to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee following an innocuous incident in the final minutes of training on Tuesday.

It’s the same ACL Doedee ruptured last season while playing for the Adelaide Crows, before being recruited to the Lions in the 2023 Trade Period.

The 27-year-old was preparing to play his first game back from the injury, which would also be his Brisbane Lions debut.

“It’s incredibly heartbreaking for Tom, and everyone at the Club is really feeling for him,” Lions General Manager of Football Danny Daly said.

“Sport can produce some of the most amazing moments, but in cases like this it can also be extremely cruel.

“Tom is a fantastic person who has already become a highly popular member of our Club, and everyone was excited to see him so close to making his comeback.

“He has shown he is the ultimate professional by doing everything he could to recover from his ACL, which we have all admired, and I have no doubt he will treat this injury the same.

“Everyone at the Brisbane Lions will continue to give our full support to Tom and his family.”

Doedee will meet with his surgeon to determine the extent of the injury and the best course of action.

The Club will provide an update following further assessment and consultation in the coming weeks.

MILERA INJURY UPDATE

Adelaide defender Wayne Milera’s season is over after he ruptured the patella tendon in his right knee.

Milera suffered the injury when he landed awkwardly in a marking contest in the third quarter of Friday night’s loss to Fremantle in Perth.

Scans in Adelaide on Sunday confirmed the damage and the 26-year-old will have surgery in coming days.

It is the same injury Milera suffered in his left knee which saw him miss the 2021 season.

“It’s obviously devastating for Wayne who has dealt with his fair share of unfortunate injuries in his career so far,” Crows High Performance Manager Darren Burgess said.

“The surgery will mean he will miss the rest of the season while focusing on his rehabilitation.

“Unfortunately, he has been through this before so he knows the road ahead, but as we know with Wayne he is a very strong, positive person who will do everything to ensure he returns bigger and better next year.”

Ryan injury update

Collingwood defender Jakob Ryan will spend some time on the sidelines with a hand injury.

The 19-year-old sustained a fracture to the fifth metacarpal in his left hand at training on Wednesday.

“This is minor setback for Jakob who injured his hand during a training drill on Wednesday,” Collingwood’s General Manager of Football Brendon Bolton said.

“Jakob is expected to be sidelined for several weeks. The Club will provide a further update on his injury timeline following consultation with his surgeon.”

Now can you highlight which of these players at each club are Key Position Players (particularly Key Forwards) Cos flankers can be easily replaced but Talls and particularly KPF's cannot. The loss of key tall targets changes the way teams can play and also alters their scoring opportunities, win/loss ratio and overall seasons percentage.
"Oils aint Oils", Free kicks in the forward fifty are worth twice as much as frees in D50 and injury tallies are highly debatable unless the loss of KEY PLAYERS is highlighted.
