Probably worse a patella tendon.

 

[FantasticShirt]

Probably worse a patella tendon.

That 5 year contract will be the only thing giving him any chance of playing another AFL game. Patella tendon injuries are bad...a lot of good luck required for him to playing any decent level of footy.

Gollant 12 weeks for a finger. Was it amputated?

Probably fair to say Talia's management HAS BEEN ****ed UP !

Latest AFL injury updates and news from all 18 clubs of the Australian Football League.

www.afl.com.au

Talia will undergo surgery on his left foot after scans revealed inflammation in a tendon and the injury didn't respond to conservative rehabilitation. The Crows hope he can play a meaningful role in the second half of the season. Crouch is ready to resume running, but a return-to-play date is not in place. Mackay experienced hamstring tightness and will undergo a fitness test this week. Gollant and Hinge underwent successful surgery last week and are both recovering. Luke Pedlar has recovered from an abdominal strain and is available to play. – Nathan Schmook

 

[John Who]

Gollant 12 weeks for a finger. Was it amputated?

I actually questioned this as well when I read it initially. My first thoughts were "did he get his fingers mangled in a shredder?!"
Reading from the above post, it seems he's had a finger operation of some sort. Now I'm curious to know what the initial injury was!

Bit like degoey finger... John Brown showed his finger where he choose to play on rather than have surgery and he can't move it anymore

What were their injuries? I wasn't aware.

 

[StonesThrow]

Think it was some sort of tendon that requires long rehab?

Probably fair to say Talia's management HAS BEEN f’ed UP !

Sent from my SM-A515F using Tapatalk

Really? Given he finished the year injured and went straight in for surgery and had barely been running, hard to see how bad management has caused a bone spur.

And it's a right angle from memory.

 

[conVINCEd]

If Crouch is now out for at least another month, why did he play in the preseason?

 

[Betts are off]

If Crouch is now out for at least another month, why did he play in the preseason?

I think the complaint is 'groin soreness' rather then a pull or a strain. Which from my experience has an element of pain tolerance behind it (I played out a finals series with a sore groin, not fun, but we won the flag so I stopped feeling it halfway through the last quarter of the GF).

Anyway you can actually train at a relatively high level with a relatively full range of movement with groin soreness, but it impacts your explosive movements like jumping and sprinting, as well as your fatigue levels.

My guess is Matt was getting through the training reasonably well, but they needed to test the waters in a game day scenario. And that's when it because evident that it was hindering him.

 

[kirky]

I’m happy with all this - more games into the youngsters and they are revelling in it.

 

[spenze]

I'm happy that Pedlar will get a few games into him, just want to build him up in the twos and get some fitness levels going without injury. If we get that kid right. we'll be looking good next year

Massive Crow blow: Rare injury sidelines gun midfielder

Rory Sloane has had surgery on a detached retina and will miss up to a month

www.afl.com.au

Sloane out for 2-4 weeks after surgery done for a detached retina.

Just when he's getting into some sort of rhythm, another injury setback to Sloaney. In the past few years since 2017, he's had the following:
- appendicitis
- Lisfranc injury
- ankle sprain
- hamstring strain
- concussion
- eye injury requiring surgery

Can you give us some insight here.

A detached retina is most likely a season ending injury?

 

[GROTTO]

I am still impressed when Sloane played with a mask.




This is the same guy for me that stopped a smug campaigner from potentially claiming a flag back in 2017 when he left us for nothing. Always has my respect.

Get well soon Rory.

 

[John Who]

I think it depends on how bad the detachment is. If they're quoting 2-4 weeks time off, then surely it's in the minor end of the scale? Season ending injuries are basically the baddest type of injuries where you often need surgery, and needing at least 3-6 months off playing.

They can do spot-welding with a laser, can't they?
