Longest Injury Lists

[Donble]

Add to that
James Toohey - retired due to health problems
Brad Hartman - retired because he was a lazy bastard

Is McIntosh just forever injured?

 

[MSB ROYS]

Yep, "Maguire (Concussion) - Indefinite" sounds promising...

Punched in the back of the head during a marking contest in a ressies game - guy got 2 weeks and that was over 4 weeks ago...

 

[Fadge]

Carlton had the Ciaran's out to weeks ago (Byrne and Sheehan).

Mick told us all in his presser that's why they lost to Geelong.

 

[Happy_Neale]

Yes please. His commentary of the Zaharakis goal (against the side he supports) on ANZAC Day was good as any.

Wasn't that Quartermain?

 

[eth-dog]

Wasn't that Quartermain?

Can't have be Quarterbrain, it was a quality call.

 

[Damon_3388]

Collingwood has had a injury list extending into the teens a fair few times during the 2013 and 2014 seasons.

Quarters, unless we're talking about different games.

[Damon_3388]

Is McIntosh just forever injured?

Has played "just" 126 of a 284 possible games (including finals) in 12 1/2 seasons with North Melbourne (107 of 226) and Geelong (19 of 58).

 

[Farang83150]

Remove the spuds and it's a very small list really...

The Lions' current injury list is probably the longest that we've had in recent memory:
Cian Hanley (Knee) - Season
Jonathan Freeman (Ankle) - 6-8 weeks
Pearce Hanley (Hip) - Test
Trent West (Knee) - 3 weeks
Jackson Paine (Ankle) - Season
Michael Close (Knee) - Season
Dan Merrett (Hamstring) - Indefinite
Jaden McGrath (Foot) - 8-10 weeks
Matt Maguire (Concussion) - Indefinite
Brent Staker (Hamstring) - 3-4 weeks
Luke McGuane (Knee) - Indefinite
Dan McStay (Finger) - 1-2 weeks
Jack Redden (Back) - Test
Jed Adcock (Calf) - 3 weeks
James Aish (Jaw) - 4-5 weeks
Tom Rockliff (Ribs) - 4-6 weeks
Darcy Gardiner (Calf) - 1-2 weeks
Claye Beams (Knee) - TBC
Ryan Harwood (Concussion) - Test
With Daniel Rich also a likely out with hip soreness.

 

[fishardansin]

McGinnity (wrist) 4-6 weeks

It's fitting that a bloke who uses rape comments to sledge has a w***er's injury.

 

[Scotland]

Has played "just" 126 of a 284 possible games (including finals) in 12 1/2 seasons with North Melbourne (107 of 226) and Geelong (19 of 58).

Genuinely surprised McIntosh has played that many at Geelong.

I don't think I've seen him play more than a handful of times, and I've watched plenty of Geelong games.

This was ours towards the end of 2011...

A lot of shit on that list though. Havnt heard of half of them and the half I have heard only a few are best 22.

 

[Whiskers]

Geelong have to do something (and probably will this year) about having so many perennially injured types. Cowan, Clark, Delaney, McCarthy, McIntosh, Menzel and Vardy are 7 of 44 list spots for guys who are lucky to see the field (plus the 2 who have retired). 3 of those for ruck/fwd types as well.

I think the club knows this and probably aren't too worried about it as you aren't planning on winning the flag this year but I guess McIntosh surely retires at the end of this year and tough calls probably have to be made on Cowan, Delaney, McCarthy, Menzel and Vardy.

The NFL system allowing injured players to go on injured reserve and clubs to sign replacements might be fairer. You guys at Geelong probably have to make tough calls on whether to sign or keep more mature depth players or to use the late round/rookie list spots to develop kids.

Hit nail on the head here. It's our own fault for keeping guys who just aren't coming back and also recruiting more injury players Shi ts me to tears.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Hawthorn 2009 was horrible.

Tom Murphy on Barry Hall, and in the same game Mitch Thorp also played in the ruck. Woah.

 

[Schauermann]

A lot of shit on that list though. Havnt heard of half of them and the half I have heard only a few are best 22.

Obviously a few players that never made it and only played a few games (like Faulks, Crichton, Mellington). But very solid players (McPhee, Grover, DeBoer) and a bit of quality (Pav, Fyfe, Walters, Mundy) as well. And a few unknown ones who never got much opportunity (Silvagni, Griffin) or had bad injury runs (Morabito, Pitt). Overall the mix probably is not worse then the average AFL list...

Yeah?

It's impressive how openly you admit to having no clue I guess. Have bolded the names you should have heard of as following,

Reckon I've been generous to you with some but of the 23 there you should have heard of 14 at least. All either best 22 at the time or immediate replacements for best 22 players (Silvagni, Griffin).

Crichton/Lower/Mellington/Pitt/van berlo weren't exactly household names I admit but were in the 22-30 range- essentially even our depth was injured.

We were utterly crippled that year.

 

[Tiger2709]

2011 - we were playing shite footy in the second half of the season because Harves had lost the plot, but in his defence the injury list didn't allow us to be competitive.

Thats a bit harsh he was about ready to pull the boots on himself, hard to coach if you have no players.

 

[TheSunGod]

Bennell just withdrew from tomorrow's match with a calf injury - that means our top six mids are now out. I cannot remember a side losing its best six mids in 35 odd years of watching VFL/AFL.

 

[Big_Birdy]

Worst injury list ever for the Eagles was a single game.

Semi Final v Collingwood 2007.

Out: Judd, Cousins, Kerr

Is Riska still around?

 

[00Stinger]

No, MY injury list is longer than your clubs.

Yeah but mine is younger

 

[TheSunGod]

Is Riska still around?

He's winning our BnF, Bradbury style.

 

[Haso]

He's winning our BnF, Bradbury style.

Yeah he's done that with us too.

 

[TheGreatBambino]

Port Adelaides injury list at the end of 2006. They had to play two players they had already delisted in the post season exhibition game vs geelong in London.
