looks like it

Because I know SFA about these knee injuries, do you guys know how that type of injury might affect Chad longterm? Is it something that once the 10 or so weeks rehab have gone it's all good or something he will need to manage during the rest of his career?

Many guys playing lower level play with em for years.
I got mine fixed over Christmas and the doc said I'll have more ongoing issues with that than the acl that I also got fixed. I took that to mean more chance of reoccurring - but less impact and quicker recovery - if you choose to fix.

But only a very narrow one.

That list look ok but when you add Angus and Paddy we wouldn't want a few more first choices getting injured considering the first 5 games.

Of our 22 who played all 3 finals + Ryder - I'd say Wingard, Ryder and Monfries are a big chance to miss Rd 1. If we got 2 more injuries that would be down to best 18. Depends who those 2 would be but Impey, Mitchell, Young, Stewart, Krak, Butcher and Clurey have enough talent to select 4 out of that 7 to cover missing 4 of our best 22.

Meniscus tear is what us old guys used to know as torn cartlidge.

Kept Bucky out for just about a whole season

Wingard and Gus out I'd think the hobbit maybe a chance for round one, Impey as well as we are playing Freo.

Good news re Redden, I didn't think he would be back till mid year based off reports late last year. I wish him all the best.

 

[Long live PAFC]

Yea I'm not sure it means Redden will be 'fit' but rather that he will be injury free.

Hope he comes good

If he is 'fit' enough to be in contention to play even a few minutes of NAB challenge, that is a great news in my opinion, based on his last 12 months.

 

[Power Raid]

Chad had surgery Tuesday 27th January - so 5 weeks today.

Fitness could be a bit of a worry for the first month back


oh, are you coming across for the freo game?

Shame about Billy Frampton's injury. was looking forward to see him play (SNAFLE) when I could. I knew he played injured in 2013, but not 2014. I thought he did ok in the championships. If we can get him right, I think we will have picked up a very good player. May take a while, but he will be worth it.

If Chads was meniscus, 9-10 weeks is a crazy time frame. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was a medial strain as well. 4 weeks is what you should be looking at for cartilage clean out. Having done cartilage myself I know that if the tear is in the right spot, it can heal on its own in 6-8 weeks. My other knee clean out on the other hand had me ready to run in around 3.

Anyway on another note, hopefully by the look of that list we are pacing the return of our boys well to have a near full strength list come round 1.
