Past Josh Drummond (2004-2012)

[Trjn]

Am I the only one who holds their breath each time Drummo's Roster Watch thread gets bumped?

I had a moment of panic. Then again, I had one yesterday when I saw Brownie's thread bumped as well. Off-seasons are brutal like that.

 

[Tassie4ever]

Maybe it's just me, but I wonder whether the way that Drummond's foot impacts the ground, so clearly shown in the above picture, with a pronounced "outward" spread, have anything to do with his repeated leg injuries?

To me, his running style can only place undue pressure on his legs.

 

[Quigley]

Didn't he do a whole new running style program a couple of years ago to try and limit his injuries? If so Tassie you could be thinking similar to the medical staff.

 

[chopperduck]

I think he got a running coach last pre season to work on his running. I think it did help, he usually has soft tissue injuries with hammys and quads. This time was an ACL, but there wasn't big long quad strains as there usually is.

 

[Lace Out]

If I did one of those best 22 teams,I'd leave him out - I've had too many emotional hits to see him go down again.

JOSH DRUMMOND
Drummond proved yet another talented Queenslander who was selected by the Club with Pick No.47 in the 2003 Rookie Draft.

Despite being close to senior selection on a number of occasions in his debut season, Drummond had to wait until Round 8 of 2005 before cracking his first senior berth.

He made an immediate impact across half-back with 15 disposals on debut and went on to play 14 of the remaining 15 matches.

Drummond was added permanently to the senior list at the end of 2005, and his lethal left-foot has since become a weapon for the Lions backline over the past six seasons.

He remains one of the key players in the Lions’ side, but has been limited to just 72 senior matches due to a variety of injury complaints.

100% right there he had a proud history of soft tissue injurys but the A.C.L was really a new one for him.
Hoping to see him play 18 plus games this coming season and have that presence we sorely missed after he went down.

What a find! Best kick in the game

 

[Hollow Knight]

Is he in full training yet or still running?

Full training at this stage of the pre-season pretty much IS running.

Injury update

Josh is still having some issues with his hip so he is probably a few weeks away from modified training.

NAB Cup Injury List: Round 1

Josh Drummond (hip) - 6 weeks

Josh Drummond

"I obviously missed a lot of footy last year, so I'm keen and excited to get back into it. But with my injury history, and the fact I'm getting a bit older now, I won't play the opening week of the NAB Cup next week but I'll hopefully play the last one or two games and get some match practice before round one," the 27-year-old said.

 

[Happy_Neale]

So...is Josh actually injured or not? Officially confused.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Yeah he has a hip issue.

 

[chopperduck]

Yeah hip issue last time i heard, although i don't think it's anything major. He is such an important player for us, if we can get 18 or more games from him it would be a huge help to the team.

Injured Drummond on ice
17th February 2011

Drummond underwent a successful knee reconstruction last year but has been struggling to recover from a hip injury picked up during pre-season training.
“He is back into modified training, but at this stage they're not putting a time frame on when we'll see him play,” a Lions official told the Daily.

LARS on last legs?

Was yesterday's news Nick Malceski's artificially reconstructed right knee had broken down after three years the death knell for LARS?

It seems concerns about the likely longevity of LARS ligaments may be on the money. Like Malceski, Rodan's initial LARS reconstruction has ruptured, his after only 12 months.

Brisbane Lions fans are entitled to be nervous about what the future holds for defender Josh Drummond after his LARS surgery last year.

Looks like Drummond has a quad issue:

Bloody hell. Fingers crossed we get him back by round 5 or so.

 

[The Golfing Lion]

Was just waiting for something like this. It seems inevitable that whenever Drummond gets close he has another soft tissue problem.

He must be gutted. Hopefully it is his only problem this year.

defender Josh Drummond’s recovery has suffered a setback after he strained a quad at Lions training late last week. Drummond was gunning for a Round 1 return from a hip injury but is now likely to be sidelined for a further four weeks.
