Injury Injury update thread

who do I have to annoy to get a day off around here?

Just mention 35 years around Starburns

 

[Somebody]

A loser because you don't spend a lot of time on a footy forum? Yeah sure.

 

[Somebody]

This may seem harsh but I don't see a spot for Macaffer.
Don't see him as a forward like he was before tagging. Don't see him as a complete shutdown tagger. Would rather Crisp as a run with who gathers plenty of ball as well.

Well he was regarded as probably the best shut down mid in the comp.

So you got a day off you lucky bugger and all you had to do was annoy a Richmond Supporter!!! Too easy.. I'm on it... fishing here I come.

Latest Blackmores injury update brought to you by {checks notes...} Blackmores is up on the club website.

Encouraging news with Cloke, Elliott, Macaffer all listed as short term only. According to Balme they're not ruling Cloke or Jamie out this week but they are of course unlikely. Ramsay still long term and Freeman down to short term as well

I don't want to get my hopes up of a Cloke/Elliott return against Carltank only to have them Davorened.

Freeman short term! He is alive THATSGOLD after all.

Freeman has turned the corner with his hammy, according to big Balmey and is now listed as short-term. Very encouraging news.

So Broomhead, Abbott and Ramsay's seasons are over and Caff and Freeman aren't in contention for seniors at all.

Apart from that Cloke and Elliott won't play this week but are a chance the following week, so they should play 1-2 games by seasons end.

The Jackson Ramsay injury is astounding, he did it in round 7, was first put down as 2-3 weeks and he simply won't play again this year, strange.

 

[Baird]

^ Too bad the season will be over short term.

 

[iGNITER]

Don't bring Cloke and Elliott in this week..
Let them recover properly.
Leave them for the scum.

That's how he did it...

 

[lenny20]

Tim Watson just said on 7 news that Jamie Elliott would be returning this week. I don't think he knows what he's talking about, though.

Don't get your hopes up too much. Freeman has been listed as short term several times this year. It's 2-3 weeks all over again.

A bit of negative spin from you there Matty. Everyone knew that Broomhead's and Abbott's seasons were over through injury, and actually he said that Cloke and Elliott were a chance for this week, but more likely the following (not "a chance for the following week" as you suggested). Jackson Ramsay injury is puzzling, but at least he is on the mend.

Ch7 news suggested Elliott likely back this week. Time will tell.

Nah goes another 6 weeks at least

 

[Anzacday]

Why do we complicate it with short, medium & long term.
How about Freeman's on the way back should see him in 2 or 3 weeks.
Caff's a bit longer, be back in about 6 or so weeks etc.

 

[JOELY]

Why do we complicate it with short, medium & long term.

I think it's because injury return dates are basically a prediction so setting an exact date can be difficult when the prognosis is usually "about" a certain number of weeks, but nevertheless causes a lot of rage from people who can't cope with the return date not being strictly adhered to or setbacks happening. The short, medium, long term is purposely vague which is annoying for us who follow it closely and want a more definite call, but overall it's probably been better from the clubs point of view in not copping as much from supporters.

I think most of us do understand the theory behind it but it has still been just as frustrating having someone stuck on medium or short term for weeks and weeks on end.

The end of the season is "short term" now though.. Huge problem!

The club has stated that the kid is finally on the mend and may play some footy this year. It is great news and not even you can spoil it.

Yes but he will give it his best effort.

I think it's because when the club lists a player for 3 weeks and he comes back in 4 weeks this board goes into mismanagement meltdown.

But in all seriousness, these days nobody commits or puts a set timeline on anything for fear of being held accountable. You just have to look at how BOM weather forecasting changed after the Sydney to Hobart 1999 race disaster.

I actually asked Freeman at the Box Hill Game (27/6/15) and he said he would be back in two weeks.

Maybe I misunderstood and he meant back on the training track

Hopefully he can get in a couple of VFL games and maybe finals?
