Injury Polec out for 8 weeks

[Macca19]

damn it. Ah well, time for Amon to step up!

 

[Power Raid]

geez our midfield is being tested this year

wingard at the beginning of the season
our big man Lobbe
gray
wines
white
and now polec

I guess it is good to test our depth early in the season rather than in September

 

[FallingLiefs]

Not many uglier injuries in the football world than a navicular. Just hoping he gets back this year.

Great chance for Arch, Karlos and/or Impey.

 

[PowerbaII]

Foot injuries like this are horrible. Club doing the right thing and resting him up now. Could argue that he should have missed the Showdown, but oh well.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

So looking to get into Polec's spot at the moment given we dont expect anyone else to be dropped this week
Ollie
Moore
Jarman
Ah Chee

then daylight given the form in the B's
Stewart
Amon
Hoon
O'Shea
Clurey

Says 8 but 10-12 much more likely.

Would take 12 they are just a s**t of a thing to get right.

 

[*PAF]

Perhaps some of our supporters will be able to spell his surname by the time he gets back.

Who, Jake?

On Trengove - have been reading through the thread on the Melbourne board about his injury. He played on his foot for the entire season in 2012 and was poor due to having a stress response, then when they finally diagnosed it the injury had become a fracture and he has basically ****ed up his foot.

In short, don't compare Polec to Trengove. We have competent medical staff. This is why we nursed him through the Hawthorn and Adelaide games. It's obvious it's a low grade response if the club thinks they could get him through the season, but that would mean he'd miss preseason for 2016. This way, he gets the rest he needs, trains on the Alter G and does pool running for a couple of weeks and is back in the team.

Geez it's still a squeeze for our best 22, especially once Ollie returns.

cant blame us for thinking that tho. the word scares the crap out of me when its in the same sentence as our elite players!

Port Adelaide will submit paperwork to the AFL to add Polec to its long term injury list this week, no replacement from the club’s rookie list will be made at this stage.

It will be interesting to see what rookie they promote. I suspect it would be Logan or Sam Gray (or just leave it open for Krak).

I wouldn't mind seeing Johann Wagner given a go. When he's lining up for goal we could play Ride Of The Valkyries over the speakers.

polec injury getting a run in the qantas club news reel.

We've finally made it to the big time.

 

[QPower]

Interesting we have continued to play Polly while this has been investigated over the last month.

Hopefully he only has a 'hot spot' rather than a stress fracture.

 

[scotty13]

Devastating news... but with it comes an opportunity (for 1 week anyway) for another player to develop their game at the best* level of football in the country.

I wish Polec a speedy recovery.

*When I say best... its probably second best after a PAFC internal trial of 44 superstars fighting till the death to make the starting 22.

Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley says the club will wait as long as it takes for Jared Polec to heal
PORT Adelaide will take no risks with Jared Polec and call on medical contacts from around the world as he seeks to recover from a stress fracture to the navicular bone in his foot.
At the top of the club’s list of priorities is to stop the injury becoming a one or a two-year setback.
Hinkley, speaking ahead of the Power’s training at Adelaide Oval this morning, said the club had initially thought it could manage Polec’s injury.
But it had become persistent and showed little sign of healing.
``We thought it was more of a management one (issue) that would come good with time,’’ Hinkley said. ``But with the investigation that we’ve now done, clearly, which we’ve really diligent on, it was the long-term future with `Polly’ that we looked after the most.

Amon would be much closer than that.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Amon would be much closer than that.

Not based on SANFL form.

He was named in the squad along with Jarman, Ah Che and O'Shea. But if Ollie and Moore were available he and O'Shea wouldnt be in the squad. Stewart had played better footy than him in the SANFL before Tommy Logan knocked out Stewart in the first quarter against Norwood. The last 2 games the Maggies have played woeful footy. That's why I put daylight in. There have been some very un AFL quality footy played by Maggies top players the last 2 games - Amon included.

 

[Power Girl]

Yeah, he's a teacher. He's a hideous looking goblin too.

Hang on you are now describing what sounds like an umpire of kids footy (scumbag) who is also a teacher. Same guy??

Fairly sure Amon was in the best players in his last SANFL game 2 weeks ago. He was left out last week to be the standby emergency for the Crows game. I think he started slow but has improved since that first game.

But making the Port best especially say 3rd to 6th hasnt been that great an achievement the last 2 weeks. If the coaches at the club reckons he is close then so be it but I cant see him jumping ahead of Jarman or Ah Chee this weekend.

also the only afl story mentioned on the today show the other day.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Yeah...i would rather krak closer to goals....

Nah, I think the Krak will prove veeeeery important in the backlines in the future. Think Wangas.
