Injury The OFFICIAL Injury Updates thread - 2 weeks

[Waussie]

Wtf is going on with LDU 2 months injured and might still be out for another month. Thought it was just sore groins from training overload and that the 2 month break would have cured this as he would have just been resting and not training

Op can be a bitch, if it's servers he could be out 12 months plus, rest is pretty much all that can be done.

 

[Waussie]

Think Hayden and Perez are fine

But EVW still in rehab going by GR screenshot news post

How long has it been for EVW. I thought he would be very close.

Rd. 1 2019. Sure you were there

He did have a set back. This may be it for Ed, so 8 weeks at full fitness hopefully gives him a better chance than 22 weeks on one leg.

Ed vickers-willis looks hell fit. Dunno how we squeeze him in onces hes ready with tazz daw and walker locks for me.

Hopefully hes in the mix sooner rather than later. Need him to push someone like Macmillan out for a flanker position

Another 1st-2nd round pick with a "chronic/bad" injury issue.

Wells, McIntosh, Trotter, Jesse Smith, Tarrant, Wright, Black, Harper, Curran, Garner, Jacobs, Wood, Vickers-Willis, McKay, Watson, LDU, Walker, Scott, Perez........................

Sellwood & Judd limp on to lists and crack up a couple of hundred matches with barely a miss since their 1st match

We're ******* cursed.

Curran, Hay..

Beware of hawks bearing gifts.

Not sure that Walker has earned lock status at this point. And Daw has to show that he’s back to late 2018 form. Still a bit or work to be done from those two.

Completely.

Lots of work to re-settle our backline. Plenty good options but other than Tarrant, Marley when back and Pittard , it’s about finding the fit and in form players to lock in a back 7.

Easy to assume Daw, Walker, Atley and JMac but McDonsld, EVW, Murphy, Ahern Are no mugs so I think there are some big long term calls to be made over the coming months.

Bit of a left field idea, but could see Will Walker developing into a playmaker off half-back. Has a bit of the Sammy Wrights about him, and with Curtis Taylor developing well as a similar type as a versatile half forward, it will be interesting to see where WW fits into the side as he pushes for a spot. I'm not sold on Ahern in the half-back role and Walker has more size and hardness.

I reckon Flynn Perez will end up that hbf rebounding distributer for us in the future with stints on the wing

Personally I think Will could be anything between the arc - a very natural footballer thet is pretty fearless.

I suggested this in the WW thread a while ago.

Could work.

As soon as they re-attach Walkers leg, he should be a decent player.

If they can't, he should change his name to Limper.

Finally an LDU sighting, is running freely so doesn’t look too far off

So we go into the break with basically no issues.

Come out of a period of no training and have Larkey, EVW and Garner immediately injured.

FMD.

We had plenty of issues going in.

What’s wrong with Larks?

If that news of Garner's hammy has any depth to it you've really got to question his ability to keep his spot moving forward, especially considering the current landscape.

This is his eighth year on the list.

Has never been a consistent on field contribution.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Its a problem. There are two ways of looking at this. Its either good management on his behalf, recognising the signs and making sure there are no bigger issues to deal with, or its a result of coming back to real training and not being able to cope, meaning he needs to do a power of work before he can train properly, let alone play.

Potential replacements are Will Walker, who looks great but has a gammy knee, Lachie Hosie, who is a rookie listed player yet to debut, and Curtis Taylor, who has looked good in his 3 games.

I love the bloke and want to see him stay, but if he has to spend the next 6-10 weeks strengthening the hammy to get him to the point where he can play, then geez, the horse may have bolted.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Larkey is the big concern. Don't know the details, but foot injuries can be troublesome.
We need him fit and firing, providing even more support to Brown as the second tall forward. We don't have a ready made replacement for him.

Wood, Unless you already have wood in the team as the third tall

Too early to waste much energy on this just yet;
A dislocated toe can be anything from zero to a couple of months so unless we have heard its a severe dislocation, very disappointing but we might be lucky.

Garner having tightness sounds like a precautionary step and again could be nothing to something that becomes a niggling delay or an endless 2 weeks. Again, very disappointing but we might be lucky.

Larkey trained inside but had a sore foot - expected to play. Doesn't sound like a big deal.

Ahern, Zeebs and Kyron back which is great!! Daw now ready too if he can train well and I think Flynn was injured and I thought i saw him training.

We're basically fit from what i can tell but i, like most expect to see calves and hammys pinging left right and centre!
