Injury SJOGHCIU - Offseason Edition

[Rowan18]

Somehow I don't think that it is a co-incidence that the teams at the pointy end of the ladder have the shortest injury lists. And have done so for most of the season.
Take out 5 or 6 of their best 10 for half the season and the Pies, Dees, Port and Lions look very vulnerable.

Not saying that fixing the injury list would suddenly turn us into a top 4 side (our list problems, well identified, run a bit deeper than that), but I think that we'd be a few places higher than we are.

Based on the last month's performance we probably jump up to at least a 6 win season next year if we have some regular availability (given we had close losses against North, Saints and Bombers).

I expect next year we finish 17th-16th and probably jump up around mid table in 2025 as the young guys start to become more consistent.

As much as wins I hope our percentage pushes back to 80% or so. That is, closer losses.

Can the whole club go? Or the club invest to get the guy over here for a week? Half the playing list would benefit.

Nothing on the news but I did see him at our last open training session and he was moving pretty well albeit at a low temperature intensity session

Our soft cap must be fkd if the players have to foot a portion of the bill.

I suppose they can get half of their out of pocket expenses back on tax.

 

[Barrybran]

Looks like a pretty schmick facility. I hope it works.

 

[Altum Volantes]

If it works, should we consider relocating to Qatar?

Straight shot flights from the East Coast, what’s a couple more hours once a year to those pricks?

what a steaming pile of poo the AFL system is!

the guys have injured themselves at work, insurance should pay for it, nothing to do with 'soft cap' from the club...

Worksafe should be bought in to rectify it.

Insurance will pay for some things, but not usually jetting off overseas to a specialist centre.

Costs attributed to rehabilitation from injury should be outside the cap or the cap should be increased for clubs that experience injuries over a base threshold

yeah, i mean, they injured themselves at a workplace, have tried for years to fix it conventionally, and now they are trying the last option

has had minor surgery on both his shoulder and knee this month and is now poised for an uninterrupted pre-season. The important forward persevered through several injury niggles towards the end of the year including both shoulders being heavily strapped and a knee issue.

Allen regularly has his right shoulder strapped but landed heavily on his left one multiple times throughout the season. The West Australian can reveal the 24-year-old had minor surgery on one shoulder and a clean-out of a knee this week. Allen finished runner-up to Tim Kelly

in the John Worsfold Medal and was the only Eagle named in the All-Australian squad after kicking a career-best 53 goals in 23 games for the Eagles.

He first injured his shoulder in the Eagles’ 171-point loss to Sydney in round 15 before landing on it again in round 18 against Richmond when he was forced from the ground. It is a positive result for the Eagles on the injury front, with Allen now poised for an uninterrupted pre-season.

He is widely considered one of the candidates to succeed the retired Luke Shuey

and Harry Edwards to Qatar next month to work with high-profile sports physiotherapist Enda King to help solve their injury woes. Dubbed the ‘lower limb guru’, King has worked with plenty of the biggest names in sport including Lionel Messi and Joel Embiid.

McGovern sustained a serious hamstring injury this year, while Yeo has struggled to get on the part in the past four seasons – playing only 37 of a possible 85 games because of a series of soft tissue problems. Edwards played only two games this season because of a groin injury and a broken wrist.

West Coast have already announced that former WA and Victorian fast bowler Mathew Innes joined the club as high-performance manager. Innes crossed from the Western Bulldogs, where he spent 12 years as part of their high-performance department including being their head of sport science and physical performance since 2015. He replaces fitness boss Warren Kofoed stepped away, having been at the club since 2008

Costs attributed to rehabilitation from injury should be outside the cap or the cap should be increased for clubs that experience injuries over a base threshold

In a similar train of thought WCE and Freo, in particular, should be arguing for a COLA type allowance to the soft cap in recognition of longer time in air, short turn around and consequential loss of recovery time which impacts injury treatment etc.

Costs should be outside the cap. Clubs should be able to spend what they need to with the highest quality professionals internally and externally if needed. It is the blight inside the clubs at the minute since the covid cuts. Medical staff left in droves and clubs force to employ less experience/expertise in injury management. Part of the problems at Melbourne that will surface in the coming weeks.
