Injury Injury thread 2017

Why didn't they fly Lamb over as an emergency as well ?

Because he wasn't named as an emergency?

They took 24 players, one more than normal. None of the talls were doubtful.

Rioli did a few tests with a trainer in front of where I was sitting. I'm no medical expert but to me he seemed to be moving without any noticeable difficulty

In other injury news both Allen and Waterman were out on the track joining in with the main group

Love it.

Well now it's win/win I guess.

Either Willie's fine or everyone hates you.

Rioli out for a month

Rioli out for a month

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Article says 4 weeks, injury list says 5. Either way it's the worst case of hamstring tightness in sporting history.

In better news Mallen is due back in 1-2 weeks.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

The club is spinning Rioli's month long layoff as "better than initially expected". FFS.

Vozzo said that had it not been for the bye Allen would be ready to play this weekend so he'll be playing their next game

Think they're being cautious with Willie and 5 weeks is pessimistic. Even still that makes it increasingly unlikely he'll get an Eagles game in 2017

isn't willie 20kg over weight?

 

[WCEbrody]

As much as i'd like to blame the club with the Rioli situation look at the state the blokes is in physically. Carrying around all that extra weight must be contributing to his injuries.

He is over weight but not 20kg, less than half that

 

[Ishmael_]

Maybe it's genetic, his Uncle always struggled with hamstrings.

If the club believes in the kid's potential they should sit a PT and a dietician on him. There's no reason you can't lose weight whilst being injured.

Willie 5 weeks out. Season over for sure now...

Willie 5 weeks out. Season over for sure now...

Such a shame, what a talent to be left out on the sidelines.

Watching just his couple games highlights in the WAFL ressies and seniors he just oozes class, skill, talent, smarts - everything we lack in the forward line.

Looking forward to a big preseason for Willie!

Sad news about the Willie.

I hope he uses this time to do a bit of swimming with a pull buoy in the pool and maybe shed a couple of kgs.

Has he had a lot of problems with his hammies in the past, does anybody know?

 

[avishka5]

Might as well wrap him in cotton wool and get him into a heavy fitness program. I remember at the back end of 2014 the coaching staff got the guys to do a heavy weights program and by the season started a few blokes had a massive transformation. One of them was schoey. But this time around rioli should focus on cutting back and improve his fitness. I wouldn't mind seeing a couple of other kids doing the same like a bit later on. Rotham and even Waterman could really benefit from getting a head start on preseason.

Jake Waterman seems to have mature body as JD did when recruited. Hopefully he has grown a few cm over the last 18 months. He would actually be decent prospect if he was around the 195cm mark.

so only 10kg
what an athlete, obviously heavily invested

Interesting article in today's West about Paul Hasleby's view on when NN should return... I tend to agree with him.

When he did his hammy during the pre-season he said he'd never done one before.

 

[Chris_6678]

He has only been in an AFL environment for 7 months. Give it another pre-season and i think he will get his body right.

Could be the contested bull we've been looking for.
