Just heard the news. Extremely unlucky for him. Very talented player whos body just isn't meant for pro sports.

Some people just have s**t genetics

And some people have s**t timing.

He’s cooked, time to move on.

Should we delist him now, or wait until he gets a scan?

Neither am I which is why I’m prepared to sit back and wait on this one. I’m not keen on the talk of casting him aside because he’s a genuine match winner and we’d be selling low. That’s bad business! He’s worth a helluva lot more to us than other clubs. Not to mention matchday injuries happen it’s a non-negotiable in this game.

I think this one requires some lateral thinking because something isn’t quite right there, IMO. Be it the general training regime, the rehab program or lifestyle IDK, but what I believe is that there’s a trend now with two players in successive weeks suffering recurrence injuries within 20 minutes of returning to VFL action.

My main hope is that BF doesn’t live up to its stereotype and Armageddon begins in earnest once word spreads...

It’s going to be a war zone in here.

He isn’t getting back to the same player Jmac, you should know that.

* this.

I would just castrate him so he can never produce any offspring and hence lowering our chances of picking up injury riddled father-sons!

 

[BringouttheGimp]

As much as I love him.. is as much I wanna trade him.

He's cactus Im afraid. Finito lamouzika pastitso

 

[Adz]

Delist.

Are you sure? With Elliott, while there is life there is hope. He is too valuable to delist without at least persevering until there is obviously no hope of him stringing at least a few quarters of football together. Send him overseas to a specialist.

He will free up cap space.

Can’t believe it. Stop rushing the bloke back, give him extra time when coming back from injury. I’m afraid his career is almost done, the guys in his mid 20’s and has back and hamstring problems, it’s not a good look but I can’t help but blame the clubs fitness staff for this. Something is wrong and we’ve had more injuries than any club over the past 3/4 seasons, something needs to change within the club.

 

[swoop42]

Something is clearly not all it should be at the club when it comes to injury prevention and management.

After so many seasons of soft tissue injuries I'm not buying the bad luck reason anymore.

In this instance, I'd have thought it's more player related than an issue with the club which seems to have been ultra cautious with his return given he's previously been mentioned as being close to a VFL return.

I guess if there is a question to be answered it is why he didn't start at the first bounce with a full warm up behind him, rather than after 1/4 time on a modified warm up.

He’s only on $350k. Cap space is negligible.

Not sure on Elliott's previous history with soft tissue injurys. But they rely a lot on the player themself knowing the body's limit. A large percentage of players reinjure themselves the first time around simply because the think there right to go when there not.

 

[BigCharlie]

*I know there’ll be a temptation to not use this thread for discussing his latest setback, but it might be worth keeping it here, venting aside, to discuss whether the work Elliott is putting in to cope with his back is placing added load on his legs? It’s certainly a discussion where a poster like Big Charlie (I think) could add something.

Thanks, Scodog.

The simple answer is that if he is doing extra work for his back, you know that and correct it with extra soft tissue work/stretching and strengthening for the affected areas.

The bigger worry is that we continually see players not just suffer repeat injuries, but break down on a consistent basis with the same problem, or issues related to kinetic chain dysfunction. Freeman/Reid/Wells/Elliott/Moore are just five examples off the top of my head.

Hamstring injuries are both simple and complex. There's a lot of research into preventing hamstring injuries, some of it, like all research, contradictory, but Elliott has had hamstring injuries for close to three years, there's really no excuse for all of the possible contributing factors to not have been addressed.

No, they really don't.

People need to get a grip. The bloke played 17 games last year. Way to early to say he is done

 

[The Plowking]

Faaaaark meee.
The armchair experts here.
The guy is a gun. Calls to delist are ridiculous.
Happy for him to remain on the list in the hope he gets his body right one day.

 

[Robroy22]

BC....just cos I can't help myself.
In your obvious professional diagnostic career, Have you ever seen an instance of an athlete (elite) where "all of the possible contributing factors have been addressed" and they still do their hammies?
