Injury Injury thread 2017

[Jiggyman]

Pretty common to see minor strains after major ligament injury and rehab, especially considering degree of movement and changes of pace in a game of footy compared to running and sprint work. Certainly possible we're being safe. This could mean he's a sneaky chance to stay on the list?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Injury update article says Tunners had a knee arthroscope as well as the hammy surgery, which would explain the brace.

Official list has Naitanui as "late 2017 season", which is now officially taking the piss.

Head, meet brick wall.

So it turns out sheed had minor shoulder surgery on Monday? Don't seem to recall hearing that from the club.

That's because we're shit at communicating as a club

Not sure that's true. Sheed was training today. Bit odd a player would be training 3 days after any form of surgery.

Not odd at all if it was keyhole and there was no muscle tear.

with a week off, you would expect a player to be doing laps at most or taking the week off.

Don't forget the report came from Hagdorn - have not heard it reported anywhere else? Is Hagdorn trying to just be a sensationalist that is the question. Going by him it's very minor - just a clean up of sorts saying he has been carrying this niggle for some weeks. Have been onto the WCE site & there is no mention of it. Hagdorn did say he would be ok to play next weekend. Make of that what you will!

 

[new breed]

Probably just a cortisone injection for Sheed but I'm guessing ...would be able to train straight away also .

 

[Hairy Lager]

Sheed had a bone spur removed from his shoulder joint, he'll be right to play.

have have had cortisone injections and arthroscopic surgery as most probably have. I happened to notice a big difference between the two but some still want to bag the club out on the basis of fake news

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

How the club is allowed to keep listing NicNat as "late 2017 season" midway through a finals series just defies belief.

Nevertheless they are.

 

[lewigie]

I'll lose my shit when he's listed as "Test" next week tho

 

[kerr87]

Sheed's surgery surely affected him.

Didn't look like that player he was pre-surgery.

Looked like he lost some shreddedness. Was hoping he would finally stamp himself as a player!

The surprise people continually evince on this board as young mids are played out of the position they have been playing since they were a kid, are played in an unfamiliar position and dont do as well as when they are played in their normal position if a tad exasperating.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Haggers reckons Naitanui's knee is degenerative or something.

Whatever it is, if true, it's bad news.

Fwiw, I didn't hear/read this for Hagdorn.

[Ambrose Burnside]

I hope it's not as bad as Kennedy's elbow.

Might be career-threatening if it is.

Think you are being a bit impatient here - we will all know by seasons end as he wasn't being played in his correct position due to Priddis. I will reserve my judgement for the time being!

Hmmm.. somewhat concerning I think. I wonder when when we will know that he is back to his best. I suspect he won’t be at his explosive best again but will still be very good.

Since when is Old Crumpet face a orthopaedic specialist? If he was a serious he would get an opinion from a surgeon and publish that but that would require work and real journalism.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Naitanui's immediate future is not threatened but the problem for the hulking big enforcer is likely to be continued degeneration in the knee as his career extends, especially for such a heavy body and his explosive high leap in ruck contests.

The 27-year-old is on course for a playing return early next year after missing the entire 2017 season in his recovery from a dreaded ruptured cruciate ligament suffered in last year's stirring home win over Hawthorn just ahead of the finals.

So his "immediate future is not threatened" and he's "on course for a playing return early next year" and the rest is Haggers dribble?

They guy just throws shit at a wall and then revels in the stuff that sticks. He is a hack.

 

[WCErevival]

Knees get wear and tear with sports. I wouldn't be too worried. It's probably more concerning for his life in later years than the immediate future.
