Injury List - Season 2019

[deebug 1,754]

Yessssss? This is great news.

[dazzledavey36 56,114]

Meanwhile, Melbourne key defender Steven May is pushing to make his comeback in the VFL this weekend.

The former Gold Coast co-captain has been sorely missed over the past eight weeks with a groin injury, but is finally ready to play.

May is expected to step out with Casey against Werribee on Saturday and then ramp up his case for a senior game from next week.

May and Jake Lever loom as huge boosts to a depleted Melbourne side which has won only three games for the season.

The Demons are also happy with his progress off the field after the full back was spoken to for breaking team rules last month.

Melbourne prohibits players from drinking alcohol when they’re injured but May was spotted having a few beers with friends at a Richmond pub.

Just saw that. Im sure they are fuming over at bomber land. I do HOPE we're smarter with May and don't rush him to appease the supporters. Id rather he was long term right.  

Who said they weren't smart? They followed a cause of treatment/recovery that has worked in plenty of cases. But not all. Didn't work for Jo. Nothing to do with mismanagement, everything to do with the uniqueness of each person's physical makeup.

Well... I think it’s fair to say that neither of us know the answer to that. One of the questions they have to answer is a bit like our Joel Smith  question, in that they played daniher again 5 days after his first jlt. 

 All I can say is if we rush May back  and he does his groin again I’m going to feel there was a lack of caution shown. Which is how I ,and many of us, felt about Joel. People make mistakes at all levels of professional endeavours and after the smith debacle  I’d just rather we err on the side of caution here. With both Lever and May.

If you follow best practise it's not a mistake - regardless of outcomes.

I must have misunderstood what Mahoney said at the time? Or maybe he deliberately misled us? Or maybe both the media and public don't give a stuff for research and journalistic standards nowadays? I dunno, but I'm close to giving up.

Unsurprisingly Melksham injury timing blowing out another 5-6 weeks.

Misson is just taking the [censored] now  with Joel Smith.

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Melksham with a setback. I’m telling you right now that anyone at Melbourne who gets a foot injury is basically doomed. 

Put him on ice for 2020.

Can’t see him playing this year and maybe never, for us at least. Horrible mismanagement.

[Nelo 813]

Whole medical staff would be the worst in the comp. Every year we seem to have more injuries than any other team. 

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Surely Joel Smith doesn’t just have a “groin injury” of the stock standard variety. Some more details about what is actually wrong with his groin might make me less worried that our medical team are a bunch of drunk amateurs. Does he have OP?! Has his groin fallen off? What’s happening?!

I think someone posted about 427 pages ago that it was OP, which explained why he went back on the ground during the JLT. It’s an overuse injury so sending him back on wasn’t going to cause any more damage. Still wasn’t a great look.

I hope both Joel and the club can work things out? Would hate to lose him.?

As above, reported as OP. Thus the length of the time out, though as reported, seems to have turned the corner on the way back to playing/fitness.

Yes lord forbid we get injuries in a contact sport. We'd be better off just not playing anyone.

Woo hoo!  Top of the ladder....huh?  DAMN!  Wrong ladder!

[junk 342]

We are often told that a player is out for 2-3 weeks but we now know that our medical wan.ers really mean 10-12 weeks with a possibly of more. Yes we don't get the steak knife as a freeby. Surely Pert must find out what is going on or what's no going on with long term injuries.

Er ...

Most of that list is "Test", so presumably playing. It also includes Lewis, even though he played last week.

Apart from the two young long-termers, list is Jetta, Melksham, Smith and VDB. Plus Maynard who has a week or so with concussion.
