Didn't he play reserves at the start of the season?

Nope, he was injured sometime during pre-season.

He played JLT1 v GWS.

This one?

Looks intense. They have him wearing a yellow nappy !

There was also a pic of Naitanui mid squat with a tens machine hooked up to his quads, but I can't find it anymore - it may have been removed.

I think you'll find it is EMS. tens disrupts pain transmission (nociception). Ems stimulates muscle firing. It's often used in rehab for knees post surgery to reduce muscle atrophy, but also for elite athlete training. Can be used to rehab when muscles are firing at the wrong time which may be contributing to injury or to develop more explosive power.

Btw DS, I'm not a lifter but was doing mad research for rehabbing a hammie to get back on the bike... Who has 45mins a day spare anyway??!

Basically everything he does in that video looks like a bad idea for a guy coming off a knee injury. I feel like we just said to these Phili people "Do what you can to **** up his knee again. If it holds, he should be good".

Right you are. That's what happens when I talk with no idea what I'm talking about. Used it when I tore my hamstring, but couldn't remember the name.

Nah. Looks pretty confident in everything he is working on and if he couldn't do all those exercises, no way would he make it through a game of footy

 

[Chris_6678]

If anything this will give him the confidence to be able to do what he can do. I still wouldn't play him this year so he continues to strengthen his knee and be a 100% fit for 2018.

Would love to see Pridda have a go at this set

When they do the slomo they will think their video is broken and keep resetting it

Man I can feel it in my knees just watching. Eek. Seems too early to be doing that.

In training for Celebrity Ninja Warrior?

Posted this in the training thread but putting it here to see how close I get

Note - this is not the official list

Injury update (my guess):

Elliot Yeo (knee) - test
Malcolm Karpany (quad) - 1-2 weeks
Scott Lycett (shoulder) - TBC
Simon Tunbridge (knee) - test
Willie Rioli (hamstring) - test
Sam Butler (hamstring) - 2 weeks
Eric Mackenzie (hamstring) - 2-3 weeks
Daniel Venables (foot) - 2-3 weeks
Nic Naitanui (knee) - Late 2017 season
Matthew Allen (foot) - Season

The players I've put down as test might not be on the list. Wouldn't be surprised if Venables gets listed as season

 

[avishka5]

July 18, 2017 (expected return to play)


Lycett (shoulder) TBC
Yeo (knee) test
Tunbridge* (knee) test
Karpany (quad) test
Rioli (hamstring) test
Mackenzie (hamstring) 1 week
Butler (hamstring) 1-2 weeks
Venables (toe) 3 weeks
Naitanui (knee) Late 2017 season
Allen (foot) Season

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Venables has gone backwards again. Unbelievable.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Official line on Venables is that he is being managed "extremely cautiously" and is back to on-ground running but has lost a lot of fitness.

[new breed]

Lycett should not play this week other then EP maybe .

 

[Suma Magic]

Such a pity about Venables.

Be awesome to see Willie back.

 

[Big Cox 88]

Wouldn't mind the missus getting to see Willie do his thing.

Not blaming the player as you can't help injuries but taking into account Venables had injury problems when he was drafted, can't say it was a smart move with our Club drafting Venables in lieu of SPP considering he was AFL ready??

 

[new breed]

Lycett to see a surgeon tomorrow regarding a sore tendon in the shoulder the big fella is so injury prone I just wonder if he will make 100 games .

 

[WCErevival]

Not sure why they are bothering with Venables tbh. 3 weeks leaves only 3 more games to play. Will be back on managed minutes in WAFL. Just tell him to have an early break.

 

[lewigie]

Not sure why they're bothering to keep Naitanui at "Late 2017 Season". He surely can't play again, it must be to appease us peasants
