Must be a pre-requisite that every player under 20 needs to get injured at least once every year.

Must be some issues with the training load or something, this is happening way to much to all the youngsters. Outside of Watts I can't think of a player 20 or under who hasn't been injured at least once in the last 2 years.

2 - 4 weeks for a foot injury according to the MFC website. Didn't say if it was done in a match

You can't remember Watts getting injured?

You can't help bone injuries, only soft-tissue injuries can be "attributed" to the fitness guys (see Essendon).

You can, especially foot stress fractures if you overload young bodies.

I cant actually, thought it was one of his highest points at the moment was the fact that he hadn't been injured.

how wrong i was

well if every MFC player has an injury by the age of 20 is think that it is an indication that somethings not right...

Maybe a little research into what the injuries are before going down the NQR road.

so your saying everything is fine and dandy and there is nothing wrong even though 100% of players under 20 have had an injury at some point in the past 2 years?

and people wonder why players arnt being developed properly, its because there never in the damn park long enough to get form

............or maybe we're being sensible and cautious in our approach to our young players' niggles to avoid complications that are completely unnecessary because we aren't on the verge of a flag.

I thought that having Misson and his elite sports science background was supposed to reduce our number of injuries. We seem to have had more injuries in the first part of the season than we had Pre-Misson!

Get well soon, Josh!

Geez uninformed snipes from anonymous keyboard heroes on the sidelines makes my blood boil.

GTG do you even know the nature of this particular injury?

How can you possibly attribute our injury list to one individual who has been at the club a little over six months?

Are you also claiming the club is in some way responsible for this injury list as they employed Misson?

Do you have a sports science background?

And now that you seem to have identified the problem (Misson) are you going to let someone at the club know?

At some point in the next two years nearly all footballers will have an injury of some sort (pssst- its a high speed collision/contact sport)

well maybe its this sensible and cautious approach which is stunting player development.

take Cook for example, has probably been out injured for more then half of his time at the MFC, and people are complaining about his development.

If this is the result of a 'sensible and cautious' approach then the MFC has some big problems

I was simply wondering why we haven't seen a decrease in injuries since hiring Misson. Misson's job is, amongst other things, to reduce injuries by buiding up fitness bases and helping to control and monitor loads. I never claimed the club or Misson were responsible for the injuries, I just made an observation. I never claimed a sports science background.

You got mighty worked up about a 2 line statement. I hope your blood stops boiling from my 'uninformed snipes'.

This Keyboard Hero is done with this discussion.

The MRP are reviewing the incident as we speak, there are a few nervous pieces of grass out there.

I'd rather have injury-free 22 year olds with 50 games experience who we were cautious with in their first couple of seasons than chronic injury-riddled 22 year olds who played injured in their first couple of seasons and can't get on the park.

Playing kids injured will cost them valuable experience in the long-run. There's no point in compounding minor injury issues for the sake of a few games of experience in their first season.

so you would rather a Colin Sylvia running around as a 25 yr old who had his development stunted due to constant injury (or sensible and cautious approach) rather then a Dustin Martin.

I know who i would prefer on the list out of those 2

maybe its this type of approach which is why MFC is getting ripped apart on the field. i would rather have players who want to play with injuries rather then ones who always need a 'sensible and cautious approach'

maybe its just another example of why people call the mfc soft

If an inordinate amount of players were going down with soft tissue injuries you may have a point... but they're not.

Do the bloody research first before casting aspersions.

Honestly..

It is very hard to address this without breaking demonland rules.

i find the content of your posts very average on a consistent basis.

So James Hird who said that Hurley's injury is so slight that it isnt even called a strain but we take the cautious approach and he will miss one to two weeks - thats soft is it ?

If we have a group breakage then the mods may bend to people power

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
