Tom Scully Injury

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Just heard on MMM that Tom's injury may be worse than thought and he could be out for half the season but certainly more than the 4 weeks the club have indicated.

lets hope he's not suffering from GWS

Didn't take long...

This sucks. What a waste. On so many levels.

[Rocknroll 954]

I hope this is a very bad April fools gag

ont tell me that you heard it off eddie t can of worms that he opened about sculls.... i wouldnt read too much into it

It was supposedly reported on the radio about 3 days ago (?) that Scully would be out for 10 weeks, but I have not seen anything about this anywhere else at all since. I thought maybe they had got him confused with Staker who was given an estimated out time of 3 months (12 weeks).

Sad but true , I mentioned this in the Injuries thread the other day .

Our second rate medical staff botched the rehab of an off season knee Op .

Yes, it must be that...

When good things happen we are lucky, and when bad things happen we are mismanaging...

When was the last time we were "Lucky" ?

Perfect Melbourne supporter rebuttal!

You're having fun with me, aren't you?

[Tony Tea 2,792]

Last week on Footy 360 they said the injury was more than likely going to be double (at least) the reported four weeks.

Get Well soon Tom. He must be going crazy not being able to train?

[Samsara 65]

Some early draft picks from last year are struggling. Morabito is out for the season for Fremantle and now this with Scully. Glad Trengove is fit, and Martin for the Tigers. Hope this isn't true, but it's not looking good. The more he misses, the less likely GWS will chase him in my opinion.

haha its looking like that

The is highly libellous. Do you have any evidence to back up that our medicial staff are basically incompetent? This is what you are saying.

Did Scully even have off season knee surgery after the 2010 season? Maybe after 2009 yes, but not sure about 2010.

In any case, if our medical staff were no good they would be replaced.

Facts are , if we wanna progress from pretenters to contenders and compete against the Collingwood and Hawthorns of the league , we've gotta find the dosh to pump into the Medical Dept.

It's a hard balancing act because you want to be fit and strong but you don't want overuse injuries or preventable injuries cause during training.

Facts?

As opposed to conjecture?

Christ this is hard to take.

Out injury record for new recruits is appalling. Are we the worst in the league ?

It feels like every high draft pick bar Trengove has had major injuries since they arrived. many in their first year. It is a long list.

Taken one out, there will always been an explanation, but it it a disturbing trend, especially when it is in the crucial development phase of these players.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

people have no background in medicine or sports science, and no idea what the injury is or how it was treated and just come on here with these big statements. 'Ill-informed' would be the term

It probably shows how we are careful in not playing the kids whilst injured so that we can prolong their careers, rather than shortening them in a blind attempt to win a few more games now.

It is also probably demonstrative of the gap in talent in the mid-age bracket at our club - in other teams, kids being injured and not being able to play might be more easily missed, as they aren't desperate to push the kids into the senior side as soon as possible.

Someone like Sam Reid at Sydney has had injury, but we don't hear about it because last year Bradshaw, Goodes and White were able to carry the load in attack and the team still performed well enough to make finals.

Perception isn't always reality.

You've made some poor posts, but this shows you really have no clue and are happy to wildly speculate.
