Injury List - Season 2019


Chelly

Recommended Posts

The high number of surgeries at once was us pushing players through the finals who obviously not 100%.  In the past they would have been sent earlier if we were out of running for the finals.

 

But there has been lots of questions asked about our fitness since Daniher left.

the numbers are stark: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/demons-early-warning-on-poor-start-to-2019-20190430-p51isa.html

In his presentation, Misson showed that the Demons had 39 players complete a total of 33 training sessions each in the pre-season prior to the successful 2018 season, when they made the finals for the first time in 12 years and stormed in to the preliminary final.

This year, in Misson’s telling, there were just 25 players completing a total of 22 sessions each – a massive drop partly explained by high number of players who had post-season surgery.

Does anyone have any updates on AVB, Hannon & Joel Smith? Wouldn't mind all three in our forward line.

We’ve really missed Hannan and AVB... much more confident in Hannan’s imminent return than the latter’s.

So is May 3-4 weeks or 11 weeks?  Where did the 11 weeks come from that people have been posting?

And this is why I think our win/loss tally is going to be minuscule this year - like 3 or 4.

The club will put players into July/August surgeries so they’re back for the start of the pre season. They also won’t bother with May or Vanders and maybe even Lever and Jetta. They may also call time on Viney at some stage.

So we’ll be playing half a VFL side in the second half of the year and a win will be most unlikely. All in the pursuit of setting ourselves up for the best pre season possible.

I could be wrong but i just see us being ultra conservative now that our season is likely shot.

The only place I can see 11 weeks is on the Demonland desktop homepage.  

Everywhere else this morning said TBC, now this afternoon 3-4.

I don’t like being so down on the dees but the way they are playing.. game plan, execution, skill errors, lack of speed etc. I’m really not sure we’ll win as  many as 3 or 4. I can’t think of a single side we defeat atm. . And yes I agree there is no way we will keep playing injured players late into this nightmare of a season.

We'll win the next 2 and be 3/5  then some players may start to return. Keep the faith people.

May was 2-3 weeks after round 2.  He is now 3-4 weeks after round 6. 

So simple maths says his “groin” injury will likely have him out to Round 10.  That’s 8 weeks out!!!!

It's getting beyond a joke with May being out all this time.

This is one Big Strike, against May and the Club, Re monitoring players in the Off season.

What is the go with KK? We were told that his concussion issues were neck related. We were told only mild concussion after the Geelong game and will miss a week. Now out indefinitely with concussion and little information from the club.What do we believe?

Agree.  Missed 3 matches and told it was precautionary to miss one week.  Was there any due diligence done on KK before we signed him up? He has had issues at the Suns. Hope to see him back soon but will need weeks in the VFL.

I believe the club definitely did their due diligence with KK. Apparently a lot of his concussion problems were lingering or made worse by his neck not being right. https://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-06-13/boost-for-kolodjashnij-in-concussion-struggle. It is stated here that he would not have long term issues due them working out his neck issues causing him headaches and other concussion symptoms.

You have to worry a bit as he was running around without a helmet for the few games he played this year including when he pulled up with concussion symptoms post the Essendon game.

The KK recruitment is looking like a huge blunder with now more concussions concerns. Someone also needs to be held accountable for Joel Smith injury. Its just getting worse and worse by each week.

Good to hear JKH is not far off as is Jake Lever

Great news re JKH well ahead of schedule 3-5 weeks

I know he gets s#1t piled onto him throughout this forum because he's not a superstar but his efforts later half of last year were great and always gives 110%, runs both ways (unlike many), tackles and is a reasonable kick...

I'm looking forward to him returning, he's the genuine depth we're missing from much of the rest

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
