Ignoring all the jokes about him being invisible - has the club given a recent update on exactly WTF is going on and what stage he is at regarding senior football?

Ignoring all the jokes about him being invisible - has the club given a recent update on exactly WTF is going on and what stage he is at regarding senior football?

Yep, the club website published an injury update yesterday with info about Cockatoo and made for positive reading

Every year begins with news about how well Cocky is going. Every year ends with him barely being sighted.
Would love to see him on the park, but my optimism has run dry on him.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Nakia Cockatoo was also prominent for the Cats in his long battle back from knee and hamstring injuries and O’Bree said one moment in particular got him excited.

“He got three quarters of football, probably the last minute of his three quarters is the Cocky we want to see where he just broke the game open, took a few bounces and kicked it deep inside our forward 50.”

“He’s done a fair bit of work and he got through unscathed and hopefully he pulls up okay.”

 

[Liger]

When’s he‘s 28 he’ll debut again for a solid 2 years.
They are being ultra-conservative.
thou can’t help but wonder if he was at Hawthorn they’d have his problem sorted by now and he’d be playing full seasons.

Not much of him in the highlights but he certainly looked heavy. No where near the lean cut figure he used to be.

He's spent an awful lot of time in the gym....probably why.....

 

[winty]

More of this please....

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

He's lost a yard of pace

 

[David the Cat]

He's lost a yard of pace

Didn't look that way to me....not sure how you can tell from that footage.

He just doesn't look as explosive as he did when I last saw him. Maybe he was holding back a little due to the hammy. He's a lot quicker than that.

 

[Down at K Park]

Gives me a little bit of confidence seeing that.

Well the bloke chasing him must have been as slow as treacle.....

Very possible.

 

[you pick one]

Very possible.

He has changed his posture in the way he runs,previously he was very strait back even at times past vertical.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Maybe I'm imagining things.

Just doesn't look as quick to me.

That maybe the case but the more normal running posture will hopefully help the hammies.

Perhaps you are right on the money....it would explain why he's been out so long. Changes to running posture take time.

I recall another player going through a similar process with some success, but be stuffed if I remember who it was.

 

[Grumpy Cat]

There was talk about teaching him to not always go at 100%. Looked much more comfortable to me.

Stevie J it was, if he could have half the impact SJ did, I’d be very pleased

hawks had to change how cyril ran to fix his hammys too

Hawkins from memory had to change his running and kicking. Had issues with his feet I think

 

[geelong_crazy26]

not sure how you can tell from just that footage. Changed Angle of direction a few times and never hit a full stride and still the player couldn’t go with him.

not bad signs ey?

if I am correct Chris Scott did mention that the game played at night was a bit slippery so it might have been the same conditions earlier
