Injury Jared Rivers - PCL strain

[Willo_]

Any mentions of Rivers knee anywhere? Looked a bit proppy when he came back on strapped up but did play the game out, will be very sore tomorrow I'd imagine regardless

Didn't look like a serious injury but he will have to be looked at during the week and might struggle to get up, given the 6 day break. I'm just guessing though so I could be wrong.

Would be good to keep squad fresh bring in Brown & Kelly not sure about Corey ?

There always seems to byes in the VFL, how many do they have a season? Frustrating to have one so early in the season. If Rivers has a sore knee perfect opportunity for Brown.

Interesting comments from Scott about not dropping a young guy this week, so seems an experienced player will be rested for Kelly.

Rivers has a PCL strain, and could be out another 2-4 weeks

Damn, bad news.
Also, Josh Hunt seems to be returning this week in the VFL. He seems to be a forgotten man ATM.. I think he is best 22 for sure.

Does possibly give Brown a bit of a run at it though.

Which might end up being a good thing.

Now saying Rivers is a chance for this week, that would be handy.

Rivers back this week apparently. Good news. he looked very comfortable as the 3rd tall, which frees Mackie up the ground even more.
Talk of resting Ballroom, but I think we need him this week. Rest him against the Bulldogs.

HS says Rivers is an "outside chance". Usually our outside chances dont play until the following week.

according geelongcats.com rivers is very likely to be lining up; http://www.geelongcats.com.au/news/2013-04-17/rivers-run-to-sydney

ACL. Gone for 12 months.



Nah only kidding, not sure to be honest, knock to the knee, would be sore and propy but should be ok for next week.

After he hurt it he stumbled around a bit and might have put out a handball then came off. So hopefully not too bad.

Didn't seem to be much in the incident. Makes you wonder how sound the knee was before the game.

Not convinced he's a key position player btw.

 

[Gaz_Brownlow]

Think a medial strain and a few weeks rest is likely.

 

[FredLeDeux]

Larkin was fairly vague, other than to say it was the same knee, and may be the same injury.

GEELONG believes Jared Rivers has escaped serious injury to his right knee, coach Chris Scott says.

Scott said the Cats' preliminary diagnosis was Rivers had a slight medial ligament strain.
"He had an issue with the back of his knee after round one, missed a few, came back and he's got an issue with a different part of the same knee," Scott said after Saturday night's match.

"[Our doctors] say it might be a slight medial at the moment. They're not too worried about it, but they're reserving their diagnosis until they've got a bit more information."

Sounds like he needs some sort of clean out. So far our mature player experiment is not a raring success. Lets hope they can get a run of games.

Has Rivers aggravated the previous injury?
