What a great game on the weekend
Thanks for the update mate. Still another two week wait for my DT.

OP Updated again

About the only good news is that we have no senior listed players added to the injury list this week. Rookie James Moss has been added to the list, he may have been injured for a while but only listed now?

Symes starts running this week - still listed as being 2 weeks away from a return (as he was last week).
No progress on Massie & Moran - both listed as being MIA for the same period they were last week.
Cook has reduced from "3 weeks" to "2-3 weeks".

Good to see that there's a possibility he's getting closer to being fit

Speaking of Mossy, Friday night, I heard a couple of guys talking at the bus stop that he'd been upgraded.

Must've heard wrong.

You'd expect a media release from the club if that were to happen. Not exactly what you'd call a minor announcement.

Bus stop 24??

 

[sharpie]

would symes come straight back in - or would he come back via the sanfl???

Definitely not a foregone conclusion. He's been out for a while now and I'm not sure how fit he will be having had his foot in a moon boot for a while.

Then there's the question of who to drop if he is to be included. Earlier in the year it was an easy decision - Knights missed the early rounds, then Douglas got injured. Right now, Symes is pretty much our only injured midfielder.

OP updated as per latest injury report from the club.

Looks like the hamstrings are finally beginning to improve - except Cook, who parallels Mackay's problems in 2007.

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

Jacky and Campbell under an injury cloud.

Ruckman Jonathon Griffin, who missed the Richmond clash to rest a sore hip, rejoined the squad for Wednesday’s main training session.And injured Crows midfielder Brad Symes, ruckman/defender Brad Moran and Kris Massie also were involved in parts of the main session on AAMI Stadium.
It was Symes' first appearance since he strained an ankle in the round six game against Carlton at the MCG. He was able to run last week and was cleared to increase his workload this week.

Massie is probably one week away from full training and Moran is also on track to play the weekend after next.
But the news was not so good for two Crows, with Bryce Campbell (knee) and Jarrhan Jacky (groin) leaving the track early.
Draftee Myke Cook continues be worried by some hamstring soreness and the club is taking a cautious approach with his rehabilitation program.

Rookie James Moss, who had minor knee surgery last month, was back in action for Central District’s reserves on Saturday.

Awesome to see Moran is on the training track again!

I would suggest he would definitely have to come back through the SANFL, might knock Mackay out eventually, however that may be taken by a Hentschel or Gill, he probably couldn't have chosen a worse time to go down, as now he has to force a player out when there's no obvious choice.

OP Updated to reflect today's injury update from the club.

Good News
All our hamstrings have healed at once - Massie, Moran & Symes all listed as being available for a return to action next week. Whether that's via the SANFL or direct to the AFL remains to be seen. OK, maybe not all our hamstrings - Cook remains on the sidelines "indefinitely". Here's hoping his recovery follows the same trajectory as MacKay's.

Bad News
The injury list is much longer than it has been in recent weeks, with injuries to Kite, Campbell, Reilly and Bassett since this time last week.

Good News
All the new additions to the list are either "test", "monitor", or 1 week. All short term injuries.

Cook

Cook

2 years in a row a youngster our the whole year with hamstring injuries. That's pretty poor IMO.

Am fascinated to hear whose fault this is?

It would be foolish of me to blame the club without knowing the details behind it. You're not doing the same, are you Drum?

Thought I'd give you all some more info on Cook. His injury situation at the moment is not the same as Mackay in 2007 ...
Cook has not torn the hamstring two or three times (as D-Mac did) and he was actually able to do a fair bit of training before the club chose to head in a different direction with his rehab. Myke was only able to push himself to about 90 per cent before feeling some pain in the leg but there was no new strain. It turns out that he was having spasms in the muscle, so now they are concentrating on getting that right before getting him back into some training.

Yes, the bloody Adelaide footy club is to blame for these hamstring injuries.

There you go, afccomau just explained it for you.

Thank you very much. Cook is the draftee that I'm most excited about and I can't wait to hear about him in action, if not this year, then next year. I think he'll bring an excitement factor to the club and his enigmatic style could be a game breaker in the future.

 

[cmndstab]

Does anyone have any footage of Myke in action in the juniors? I'd love to see how he moves

Thanks for the update. Sounds as though you're on top of the situation. Never doubted you for a second.

lol.

 

[blues2010]

Is anyone else starting to fear that Myke Cook's 1 week hamstring injury could turn into another David Mackay saga?

ran into Myke Cook in Melb. on the weekend. He is over here for 2 or 3 weeks then going to Canberra to try and get over this hamstring. I think it has something to do with recovery from Knee surgery last year. Hopefully he gets over it and gets on the park soon. He seemed to be not himself and a bit down due to the injuries, but he is a great kid and I wish him all the best

OP Updated to reflect latest injury list from the AFC.

Lots of people coming off the injury list. Just as many going onto it with new injuries. Most notable are the addition of 3 knee injury victims - McLeod, Maric, and Jacky. All completely unrelated!
