Injury Report - Season 2024

[Daka]

how could meehan’s muppets not see this coming? we are incapable incompetent and downright dumb. 2 games for meatball in 5 days is ridiculous. put a line through him and put him out to pasture.

Who takes reponsbility for this injury? fitness staff incompetent again they held Lynch & Martin back because it was 5-day break not prepared to risk. They play Prestia for the Suns match he should have been rested for Blues match.

 

[_RT_]

Dion Prestia, hamstring

"Dion was going for a ground ball late in the first quarter and hurt his hamstring. Follow up scans have unfortunately showed significant damage. It's looking like a long-term injury for Dion, we're looking at an 8-10 week period of him being out."

Josh Gibcus, knee

"Terrible luck for Josh. He had to learn a lot of lessons last year of mental toughness and resilience. Josh is going to have surgery tomorrow (Thursday) to repair his ACL and he's going to miss the rest of this season. We're really confident that Josh will get a full preparation going in the next year, so the timing is not bad from that point of view. Josh is going to need a lot of support from his family and the Club, which he'll get. We're looking forward to seeing him again next year."


Tylar Young, concussion protocols

"Tylar was in a contest late in the second quarter and knocked his head. He was consequently checked and was given the all clear, and then over the half-time period developed symptoms. He's gone into concussion protocols and he'll miss this week. We'll make an assessment later in the week to see how he is for the following week."

Jack Graham, quad

"(He's going) really well. Jack's now completed some top-end sprinting and has almost completed his kicking progressions. He'll drip-feed back into some group skills next week and we're looking at another week or two before he's back available."

Liam Fawcett, back

"Liam had a scan a couple of days ago which showed some really good progress with his back oedema. We're looking at around about a month's time having another follow up scan to hopefully progress him back into running."

Mate Colina, back

"(He's) on a pretty similar timeline (to Fawcett). He had a follow up scan the other day and things are progressing well. He's probably in similar boat to Liam, in around about a month looking to get going again."

100 persent. if they do not know his body now they should be sacked. pathertic.

 

[docko911]

Any chance we could start over? I don’t know which week was worse the first half v GC or the long term injuries v Carlton. Need to take a look at this fitness crew might be bad luck but seems more like poor management

thats half a season for prestia, any chance of a contract extension hinged on him getting through the season you'd think.

 

[tiger_tough]

It's s**t for prestia but it's a great opportunity for McAuliffe and/or Sonsie both of which add a different dimension to our midfield group.

 

[SunshineBoy]

lmfao 10 weeks for presita

louie hand carved his hammy..

Send him to Saudi Arabia

worlds longest hamstring injury

 

[Roachy8]

Bloody meatball - how does a bloke only 4 foot tall keep pinging his hamstrings?

Would have thought they were really short and chunky strong.

 

[tiger_tough]

Bloke with a long history of chronic hamstring issues does a hamstring. ******* Meehan.

Some blokes bodies just aren't up to it. Thanks for your service Dion.

 

[Daka]

Can't blame Fitness staff for ACL because they are usually impact/twisting injuries.

But Graham (quad)
Prestia (hamstring)
both long terms both not isolated incident given last year soft tissue injuries.

 

[juss]

Farewell game for Prestia toward the end of the year, the blokes done.

 

[Karp3_dm]

Should Dion retire and give us a mid season pick?

 

[tiger_tough]

Should Dion retire and give us a mid season pick?

We'll have one already for Gibcus.

 

[TheOptimum18]

Should Dion retire and give us a mid season pick?

No point having this discussion until the VFL actually begins and players eligible for the MSD actually have some sort of competitive game time under their belts.

We already have one spot open with Gibcus' injury, so no need to make that decision until we're closer to the MSD date. If the pool of players for the MSD isn't that deep, you might as well keep Dion for the rest of the season.

ive never heard of 10 weeks for a hammy

 

[jetbhag]

How is it possible 90% of us on this forum knew a 5 day turn around was not an ideal scenario for dion, but the RFC took the risk regardless?

It's evident our high performance 'team' have NFI.

 

[tugga]

Just 23 weeks for Gibcus' one.

 

[UncleBob]

RIP Prestia

Agreed, whilst I'm happy we nabbed Tresize and Coulthard and retained then. It's probably best to wait and see whose names come into conversation.

With that said, if Prestia opted to retire, I imagine that may be a better result for all parties. 31 years old and looking at missing nearly half a season due to a hamstring injury, surely time to pull the pin.

 

[banana_bus]

Just checking in... has Meehan been sacked yet? If not, I'll be back this time next week when the next player drops due to his incompetence.

Club has gone from being the most powerful in the country to an absolute joke. Embarassing.

 

[banana_bus]

He’s CB17 according to a poster friend

False.

 

[Al Heimer]

His inevitable next one will be 14 weeks
