Injury Injury thread 2017

Hagdorn reporting this morning that Willie has another tear, out for another 8-10.

Key word being Hagdorn.

 

[Xsess]

**** this I'm out ^^

 

[RookiePick]

Hackdorn suggesting big Willy is gawn for another 8-10 weeks with the hamstring.

Given he was kicking the footy around on the Monday after his last one his lack of discomfort doesn't really indicate much either way.

Balls...sucks about Willie, only touched it a few times on Monday but you could sense a genuine buzz amongst the crowd every time he did.

I think Willie and the club need to aim on rehabbing this latest injury and then doing some major work on his physique/fitness. Don't see a point in him playing a few pointless games late in the season. The aim should be to shed a few kg's and improve the overall fitness by the start of next pre-season and then hit the ground running for 2018.

Typical West Coast bullshit though, send a tweet out "he's fine - just precautionary" - then all of a sudden gone for another 8-10 weeks. Worse than bloody pollies...

Surely this is Hagdorn bullshit right?

 

[EagleJack42]

Unless he knows the radiographer who scanned him (the PACs system is secured so that any other radiographer accessing must provide valid reasons ergo the scanning radiographer is theoretically the only one), the club doctor (not likely), or Willie himself told family and they've blabbed (only feasible outcome) there would be no way this sad old sack could know this early. I'm inclined to go with the club's response. In the event they've ****ed up I'm putting my specialty down as Sports Medicine so these incompetent hacks can be moved on.

Surely players carrying excess weight are prone to injuries such as this. Rioli legit looks a lot plumpy that what he was in the preseason.

Honestly, who knows with the club at the moment.

Geez it would be shattering it is was another 8-10 weeker. Suspect it will be hard to keep Willie motivated.

The fact he was kicking the ball around after the last one speaks to our medical staff rather than the severity of his injury.

Suffering from that myself...

Well if he is out for pretty much the rest of the year, just hoping he'll return in improved shape next year and also be completely injury free. Would be really disappointing not to be able to see him in action again for a while.

 

[kane249]

Let's not panic just yet.

Hagdorn also said an Achilles tear for Kennedy and he'd be out for 8-10, and he's in line to return next week against the Cats.

Also had him missing the whole of 2015 with his elbow injury, from memory.

[dajesmac]

That can't be right. If it was a tear he'd have known all about it. Unless he's trained since then and has torn it somehow.

I call bullshit.

Hagdorn is in the business of "shout headlines now, confirm later" media caper that almost all news reporting has become where it's more important to be first than it is to be right. So when he actually does fall arse backwards into a correct call he's lauded as some kind of genius, yet the other 15 times he was wrong before that is completely forgotten.

Anyway, has Rioli's injury been confirmed anywhere yet?

Not if its digital

 

[WCErevival]

Weren't we supposed to hear something today about Rioli? The lack of info is most likely bad news

Not necessarily. They delayed giving us any news about Francis Watson and that turned out.... Oh

 

[Suma Magic]

Hagdorn had the scoop on Rioli in February.
