Injury Injury thread 2017

[WCErevival]

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

I'd say its there just in case we make finals and Vardy goes down. Keeps the option open.

 

[archiemoses]

Yep no venables this year. Pretty shit tbh

 

[Mickey Rae]

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 .

Not a strong lot these South Australians. Butler and Waters careers significantly reduced by injuries!

 

[Mulldogg]

Venables has gone backwards again. Unbelievable.

The longer Venables' "turf toe" injury gets drawn out the greater my cynicism becomes that it is a new injury; clumsy trainer or otherwise.

Perhaps the club are reluctant to indicate that it is reoccurrence of the issue he came over with? Particularly in the context of the feedback they're currently getting about not blooding enough younger players.

The outrage of overlooking SPP for a Victorian with fragile feet could just about see the pitchforks and torches making their way up Roberts Road...

If he can get through the increased running load we might see him back for EP before year end but with only 6 games left it's unlikely he'll have enough time to build a case for selection

If he had more problems with his foot he would be in a moon boot with no running what so ever. Turf toe is never a short term injury. Sounds like he is just getting over it and needs to build his fitness again ( second time this year as he missed pre-season)

Plus Venables foot injury was more from a broken leg that affected the foot area from memory.

Agreed in regards to the moon boot/no running part but I'm just reading between the lines in much the same way that Dale Miller seems to be implying in the West article.

"Venables was forced to sit out testing at last year’s AFL national draft combine while nursing a stress-related foot problem."

and

"West Coast have faced criticism this season over the decision to pass over drafting NAB Rising Star contender and East Perth product Sam Powell-Pepper in favour of Venables."

 

[twce13]

Whilst frustrating, in the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal, as long as he doesn't have long term issues.

Hopefully he can get a couple more games in at wafl level and then look towards a strong 2018 pre season. Same for willy.

I was knackered just watching that. Very encouraging as doesn't look hampered in his movements or tentative at all.

That sequence with the cartwheel made me quite erect

He does look to be moving pretty well, although that needs to be qualified by the fact the video is obviously sped up.

**** Darling's ninja flips, let's get Naitanui cartwheels into the game

Confident he'll come back better than Mainy did back in the day. Good signs.

Makes our rehab programs here look pretty average doesnt it?

There's so much we can take from US sports rehab and performance management, hope we start investing more heavily in it.

How much do we have to send to Norf/Dogs/Brisbane et al. 200% of Naita's rehab costs?

Hopefully any asymmetries in his joint kinematics/kinetics are ironed out as soon as possible.

I just thought I had slowed down...

That video was pretty cinematic

 

[dajesmac]

can't say it was a smart move with our Club drafting Venables in lieu of SPP considering he was AFL ready??

And what happens in 2 years time if Venables is a better player? You can't take such a short sighted view to drafting, particularly in the first round.

Remember how much of a waste Luke Shuey was in 2008 with all his injuries/personal issues? Should've picked Redden instead.

Speaking of the 2008 draft, how good was the mid-2nd round to mid-3rd round:

29 Beams
30 Hannebery
34 Shiels
39 Motlop
44 Sloane
