According to the Herald Sun today, Rivers missed because of a "hip".

I just wish the club was a bit more forthcoming to supporters about injuries to players. I'm not talking about these last minute things but it took a long time for us to be informed as to why our best defender missed out. As for Juice Newton and his injury ... pffft!

The lack of feedback is bloody frustrating...I'm not convinced that this "toadstool" treatment fools opposition clubs but it certainly give club supporters the tom-[censored].

My great hope is that it is not a "groin-related hip".

Groin related hip flexor abductor hyper-extension pubis.

4-6 weeks.

Yep. It's a lot quicker and easier to spell "hip" rather than non-specific osteitis of the pubis.

Without Rivers, we are lost even when up and running. To lose him now would be disaster. Ofcourse we need to play youngsters, but he is a young defender as it is! For a guy who's 23 he has been injured an awful lot :(

Get well soon!

I spoke to Sean Wellman at the aftermatch function, and he said it was a knock on the hip, and he'd be out 'for a couple', and also that Carroll had a bit

of a hamstring niggle and would miss next week most likely too...

I wonder if what he says about Carroll is true. I was feeling that maybe dropping him was in some way related to his discipline/off-field behaviour. Hopefully he is just injured though, because I was wondering why PJ got the nod over Carroll to replace Rivers

Nice try.

The abductor is actually an adductor.

No, he's right. There are both abductors and adductors in the groin area. Each has a different function.

Thanks. No wonder its creates problems! B)

So is OP mainly focussed on the adductor muscle or both?

Just a question but with all the attention on rivers and our backline doesnt anyone think about wheels?? personally i think we are doomed with out his speed and pressure idown there sure rivers is probably the best in our club at reading the play and spoiling an dis a nice kick lol but he needs others around him to compliment him.. wheels, weats and rivers get back in the teamm no wonder carrol isnt playing well he is playing with a bunch of peole he doesnt know.

I believe both are susceptible but our game seems to bring out the worst in adductors.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
