No quotes. Just didn’t want to answer so walked off and dragged Mission in to answer. It was Ross!s presser.
As RTB said, it was Misson's press release.......

The injury management looks horrible. Players regularly reinjuring.
King
Phillipou
Howard
Definitely something off.

Apart from these 3 the list is the shortest in the AFL. Not sure anything is off other than the players bodies not responding to treatment that would be fairly standard across the competition.
Howard is one of those players that now will have reoccurring soft tissue for the rest of his career. There’s nothing really that can fix this outside of preparation and even that has no guarantee.

Shortest now.. Go back earlier in the season. Bombers have lost a few recently.
However, a more nuanced one would be around no of games missed by top 22… don't know where to find to find those stats.
Injury lists fluctuate. If they stay long for extended periods you’d worry. The 3 you named are repeat scenarios. There are players that are prone to repeat injuries at the same or similar locations. It’s what happens in sport and some players are just unfortunate that way. Not sure there is any incompetence from the medical team.
Our departing Doctor may believe the club has a different opinion on that matter!

Club doctors administer general health of the players, medications and will be part of concussion rehab and the like. The club physios and performance coaches deal with injury management.
Ok, but the man is still departing the job, and the buck stops at the top.....is he going of his own volition?
Is he really the top of the tree when it comes to injury management? Surely they would have specialists rather than utilising a GP.

He has been the club doctor since 2008, thats a long time in any one position so very likely.
Back injury sidelines gun Hawk, puts season in doubt
Josh Weddle may miss the rest of 2025 after scans discovered bone stress in his back
www.afl.com.au
"Hawthorn star Will Day is still recovering from his own stress fracture, but the midfielder is only a few weeks away from returning from the navicular bone injury.
The Hawks have been struck by a spate of back stress fractures to young players across the past 18 months. Will McCabe was sidelined for four months early last year, while Calsher Dear missed the first four months of this year and has only managed one AFL appearance in 2025."
Sounds like they need to fire their medical staff too tbh...
...or maybe injuries just happen sometimes.

Carroll and Boyd both listed as injured on VFL team announcements. Any news on them?

Carroll hasnt had a good run, would be putting pressure on his chances of getting a further contract.

Agree. He has shown a bit with his limited opportunities but given his run with injuries he will be up against it especially if we hold onto some of our OOC players

But that's just luck. A best 22 is no more or less likely to get injured than a VFL gop.
Pou and Doug down to 2 weeks.
Garcia??
