[PAFC66]

6-10 weeks out according to Carr.

Be lucky if he's back in 10.

Don't we have an AlterG anti-gravity treadmill or three? Plus a shiny new pool.

The bank took the G tredmill back , couldn't keep up with the payments.

Injury report: Lord undergoes arthroscopy​

Young forward Ollie Lord will undergo surgery after sustaining a knee injury over the weekend ... with a timeline for return to become clearer following the procedure.

So currently they have no friggin' idea what they will find in there!

 

[Enviable Tradition]

No op at least which would have meant pins. Going to lose alot of fitness however as he is in a brace Id imagine.

Your fault.

Why does the club always insist on dripping bad news in increments. Carr said yesterday that he wouldn't need surgery but now he needs exploratory surgery. Its as if they feel the need to cover up or something. They always under report the seriousness of any injuries and eventually minor things turn out to be serious, short or medium term become season ending. Are they afraid of losing memberships? I don't get it.

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

Out for the year probably.

I safely assume everything that comes out of the club is untrue, injury related or not.

It's pretty obvious his entire leg detached during a kicking action and it flew into the chipper spraying out new chips for the dogging park.

Next Kate Middleton.

It shits me that the club can't just come out and say so.

 

[gbear]

Next Kate Middleton.

So his leg is photo shopped on then

And won't be seen for six months.

Did Lord get a BBL?

My bad, info from club is as bad as royals. No one seems to have any idea , just seem to blurt out figures like x weeks. Cant just say I dont know and then wait for docs full report.

I was there and recorded this on my phone when it happened

For decades the PAFC was described by Vic clubs who tried to prise players out of Alberton as a place for homing pigeons and boomerangs.

Eg back in the mid 1970's when Carlton signed Max James to a form 4, Big Bob McLean responded about 2 days later by signing their state fullback Geoff Southby also to a form 4, which was sensational for its audacity and was clearly a big up yours to one of the big 4 Vic clubs.

By comparison the bloke who has described us as the `little old blue collar club from Alberton' would never have the cajones to do anything even remotely like that, he couldn't even win that ridiculous jumper colour debate with an absolute minnow club in gold coast for a game in china.

Under this current regime Port was described about 4 or 5 seasons back by an AFL employee as a `smoke and mirrors club' which in the case of reporting injuries to members and supporters is often unfortunately correct, and like others I too doubt we will see Lord back on the park for at least 2 or 3 months!

8-10 week recovery time with the arthroscopy showing no structural damage to the knee

Best case scenario in this situation

8-10 week recovery time with the arthroscopy showing no structural damage to the knee

Best case scenario in this situation

8-10 weeks is a long recovery time for a meniscus 'tidy-up', unless it was his first arthroscopy.

 

[Port2Power]

8-10 weeks is a long recovery time for a meniscus 'tidy-up', unless it was his first arthroscopy.

Reason for the 8-10 week recovery time:

"Lord landed heavily in a marking contest, with scans showing high-grade bone bruising on the knee and an impaction fracture in the tibia."

The arthroscopy was to rule out structural abnormality in the knee as a precaution

Injury update: Lord to miss start of season

Key forward Ollie Lord has been sidelined for a period time after sustaining an injury at training.

You mean he's gonna * Matthew Lobbe?

Could be taking it ultra-cautious. Lord is a massive long-term prospect if he can reach his ceiling and 2024 is already looking like a write off anyway.

Funeral on Friday.

Forget the minor meniscectomy in a young fit athlete, it's the bone bruising that we want to worry about. That can be a really shitty injury, lasting up to three months or more, depending on location.

IMO, 8-10 weeks will be a good outcome!
