Any word on Preuss' shoulder injury?

Watch the song after the game, he couldn't lift his arm to put around Spargo.   And hes about 3 feet taller than Charlie.

With our injury luck this season Im expecting the worst.

I'd love to get a decent medico at our club.

Docherty 4 months from ACL.

 

These sorts of post really frustrate me.

Do you know anything about Docherty's injury, or his fitness, or his rehab, or Carlton's medical team?

Do you have any idea at all about how his rehab would have gone, if all else was equal, at our club?

Does him running laps at four months post-ACL mean he's going to make some sort of remarkable recovery?

Or are you just posting garbage?

Good get. 

I don’t understand why it took so long for the club to play the Gawn/Preuss card. I think that as long as they both remain for, the combination will be potent against many of the other teams.

It appeared like he jarred the AC Joint...  He tried to bump the opponent from a bent over prone position.   Not smart from Preussy because he could not brace his body properly from that position.

He'll play sore for a while I reckon.

Injury List

Oscar McDonald | Concussion – Available

“Oscar has no issues after that concussion. He trained today and will be available for selection this week.”

Neville Jetta | Knee – Test

“Nev trained the day before the game and trained really well, but just pulled up a little bit sore and was a little bit swollen in the knee. He made a really good team decision – he didn’t want to let the team down. He was touch and go but obviously missed, so we’ll be hopeful for him this week.”

Jay Lockhart | Back – Test

“Jay just got a back spasm at training the day before the game coming off the flight, so again, he was a lot better the morning of the game, but we wanted to take a fit 100 percent team in, so Jay was left out. But he’s turned around really quickly over the weekend so he should be available.”

Braydon Preuss | Shoulder – Test

“He came back and had a scan on the shoulder which showed there wasn’t too much structural damage. We’ll review him today and monitor him during the week, but we hope he’ll be able to get out there on the weekend.”

Jordan Lewis | Hamstring – Test

“He did a big session on Friday back in Melbourne with the rehab group. He’ll have a normal week this week and look to make himself available.”

Kade Kolodjashnij | Concussion – TBA

“We will continue to monitor Kade after his head knock against Essendon. He has some lingering concussion symptoms and these will need to clear before we have more clear timeframes on his return.”

Steven May | Groin – 2-4 weeks

“Steven had his first couple of running sessions last week, so we’ll look to keep increasing his volume this week.”

Aaron vandenBerg | Foot – 4-6 weeks  

“Vanders had a run outside last week. He pulled up a little bit sore, so we’ll review him today, but hopefully we can keep progressing his rehab this week.”

Joel Smith | Groin – 4-6 weeks

“Joel’s actually due to run today. He’s been gradually getting better and better, so we’ll look to start his re-loading program today.”

Jake Lever | Knee – 6 weeks

“Jake’s due to do essentially his first full session with the group on Wednesday. He’s almost ticked off all of his rehab – still needs to do a bit of contact work – but essentially he’s going to need a month of full training with the group before he plays, and that’ll start soon.”

Mitch Hannan | Knee – 6 weeks

“Mitch has been slowly increasing his speed and agility in rehab and is doing a lot of ball work. He’ll probably do the session the day before the game on Friday with the main group, so that’s a really big step forward for Mitch. Again, he’s going to need a decent block of training before he plays, but he’s certainly heading in the right direction.”

Jay Kennedy Harris | Knee – 8-10 weeks

“Jay had his first run outside on Friday and felt really good. That was really pleasing as we weren’t really sure how he’d go, but importantly he’s pulled up well, so we’ll start to ramp his volume up this week.”

Guy Walker | Shoulder – Indefinite

Aaron Nietschke | Knee – Season

On the dates from last week:

  • May has blown out from 2 - 3 to 2 - 4.
  • vandenBerg and Smith are still listed as the dreaded 4 to 6.
  • Lever and Hannan have "improved" from 6 - 8 to just 6.
  • Kennedy-Harris is in from 10 - 12 to 8 - 10.

VDB and Smith were 4-6 a 4 weeks ago and haven’t improved an inch. Doubtful either one will have a meaningful impact this year if this continues

I really hope Preuss plays again this week and isn't already out injured already. Would love to see him play on the G.

I thought groin injuries were usually a 4 week injury. It’s already been 4 and Smith is a 4-6 which means he’s potentially going to miss half the season with a groin injury???

Frustrating that May and Vandenberg appear to have had set backs, AvB could really make in impact if given the opportunity.

Very concerned for the future of AVB and KK. Not good news. 

May’s lack of pre season fitness is really not helping his recovery it seems. Another massive disappointment.

Vandenberg is a worry, he is an important cog in the machine, was it his ankle that kept him out for so long previously? Is it another "hotspot" that we seem prone too?

Last year i rated smiths defensive speed  to close opposition fwd entries, but closed my eyes when he was to dispose of the  ball, until his last 2 games he found time to execute. He seems to get injured every time he just starts to click.

KK TBA. Really? Weren't we told his concussion issues were neck related? Didn't he have mild symptoms after the Geelong game and good to go this week?Apparently not.Sold an absolute lemon.

I would say,  from the little I know of things Re May,  that his attitude toward coming into his first Pre-Season with his new club,  imo shows his laconic attitude toward his physical preparation generally.

So I'm suggesting he might never have had himself in true elite condition and fitness.  So this is good and bad. in a sense his body could be underdeveloped ??? cardiovascular... maybe some of our Physio Doctor types could share here ?

 

But on the positive side, he could make big strides with a change of attitude and of desire,  and dedication to improve his body and physical condition...  similarly,  I put Tracca in a similar boat.

VDB is the big worry I’d say due to his previous issues.  I think originally they said 2 weeks and now it has blown out considerably. 

I’m not overly concerned with May, I think they are just putting some extra work into him to set his season up. 

I’m sure I heard Goody say that Lever is only a few weeks away.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
