Player Watch Lachie Schultz

[BigVic]

Been in and out in the first half of the season.

 

[Peters_Nuts]

No ice in the rooms but walking with a limp.

10 day break and the bye couldn’t have come at a better time.

 

[Pendles!]

Such a shame as he’s been so good this year. Hopefully low grade.

 

[eyeroller]

He was onto Lloyd Meek like a rabid dog after the Lipinski hit

 

[swoop42]

Given it's his second hamstring for the year you'd think we'll have to be extra cautious and add on recovery time to try and avoid a third.

 

[Lockyer24]

This will be a blessing in disguise for Shoot. Get your body right, and more importantly recover from the head knock.

Take your time. The run in and finals is all we need you for, and if it’s as good as the opening months, we will be in great shape.

 

[granniewolf]

Poor Lachie, it seems he can't win a trick at the moment.
Hope the hammy is minor and the long break and bye will get him properly fit.

 

[2009premiers]

It was a low hamstring strain just above the knee so usually they heal quicker.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

In the olden days they would have called that “awareness”

 

[Rorzza]

Ditto on all other posters this year, vitally important to CFC's game plan, hard as nails, pugnacious, deft skills, ucccking ripper!

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

Hopefully we have him back by the St Kilda game which is just over 3 weeks away

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Hopefully we have him back by the St Kilda game which is just over 3 weeks away

Reckon they’ll be even more cautious than that

 

[stormskye]

Melb, bye, saints, eagles. Bring him back for the blues. Get him 100% cherry ripe

Correct. The best predictor for a hammie going "pop" is a recent hamstring injury.

The club's sports medicos would be conservative with Shoota's rehab progression since it's a recurrence.

He's too important.

Was it the same leg?

 

[jathanas]

Was it the same leg?

I assume it would have been mentioned if it wasn't the same leg, but that's a good question.

 

[eddiesmith]

Was it the same leg?

Ch7 says it was.

 

[Rorzza]

Disappointing!

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

Will miss 4 weeks. Back for Carlton at the earliest.

Opinion or fact?

 

[Fat Jesus]

It's minor

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

It's minor

No it wasn't

 

[Fat Jesus]

No it wasn't

Looks now that it wasn't.

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

Looks now that it wasn't.

Yep, almost the worst outcome possible for a hammy.

 

[Pistol Night]

Yep, almost the worst outcome possible for a hammy.

A tendon is the dire result but yeah a muscle being 5-6 is on the longer end of the scale
