Injury Injury List

[The Falcon Strike]

Scott Burns was saying on Sports Central last night that MacKenzie, Brown and Selwood were the only injury queries for round 1.

i stand corrected

so I take it NN is fit to play then?

Could just be smoke and mirrors trying to lure North into playing a tall forward line.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

They don't have any tall forwards who are fit and able to play, other than Hansen.

The site that has all of sports news first suggest OP for Neates

It's a hernia.

 

[Suma Magic]

Neates on LTI. Bad luck for him, really bad.

In comes Ashton Hams.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Has that actually happened or are you extrapolating?

 

[silver eagles]

Neates placed on LTI

"The lively small forward will go into hospital for surgery on a hernia tomorrow and will spend two months recovering from the operation as he strives to return to full fitness.

The club has not yet made application to the AFL to replace Neates on the senior list."

 

[Wirra for PM]

That sucks for the kid, worst possible timing for him.

Now it's Hammer time.

 

[Emerald]

It's a hernia.

Long term injury list for a hernia?

There are a few different types of hernias btw and depending on the size of the herniation can determine the extent of the injury. Once knew a bloke with a badly herniated testicle. Poor bastard was in agony for a long time.

To the above post god that song is catchy.

There is speculation McGinnity has a foot stress fracture and could miss as much as eight weeks of action.

Lecras out for 7-10 weeks with an adducter tear
Masten 6 weeks with cartilage damage to knee

EDIT: Good news is one of those weeks for both of them is a bye

 

[The Passenger]

such bad luck for lecras. it was so onnocous (sp??)

i still wouldn't be suprised if we don't see him till 2012.

 

[Lion El'Johnson]

So all that good run with injury in the preseason gone in one match. I'm so depressed.

 

[NIS BOTT MK 2]

ALL-AUSTRALIAN forward Mark LeCras has declared he could be back playing in six weeks from a terrible groin injury he copped in West Coast’s season opening win over North Melbourne.

http://www.***************.com.au/articles/2011/03/31/better-news-for-mark-lecras/

Looks like LeCras may only be out for 6 weeks like Masten (1 of which includes a bye so really its like 5 games)

 

[Lion El'Johnson]

That would be great but I doubt it. Won't be able to do any fitness work while recovering.

 

[Obeanie1]

That would be great but I doubt it. Won't be able to do any fitness work while recovering.

When he comes back he won't be playing midfield I'd say. Back to roving around the forward 50, which should please half the people on here.

If he only misses 5 games we have dodged a bullet big time.

 

[Goldfish]

So just to confirm, it looks like Waters has hurt his other elbow (his right) and not the one he had reconstructed (his left as per below)...

Anyone have any ideas how bad it was? Hopefully just over extended and not a dislocation

 

[iTim]

In the writeup on the Eagles website there were no West Coast players reported as injured, must not be that bad then.

 

[NIS BOTT MK 2]

Although he didnt talk about it Woosha didnt seem to think much of it in the press conference if thats anything to go by

Beaus elbow that is

 

[Goldfish]

Good to know, given his history with elbows he may have been a little cautious when it happened.

 

[lewigie]

Waters arm in a sling..

 

[mezaire]

Water out for 'a couple of weeks' on nine news
