Injury LONG TERM OR PERSISTENT and CHRONIC INJURIES

[Tiger51]

One of my pet hates is the automatic return of seniors players to the senior team after LTI. My view is we should have a policy in place, to protect players and allow them to play managed minutes in the VFL to both regain form and confidence in their body. What do others consider would be an effective policy going forward?. My personal view is all players returning from long term (in excess of four weeks) or chronic injury should come back via the VFL except in exceptional circumstances. We need to protect players from aggrivating previous injuries and ensure they are able to perform at their best on the big stage.

If we were near the bottom of the ladder it would make sense to ease them back in the vfl. But we have finals to make!
