Isn’t the only way to get match fit to play footy games? 

I was concerned he might be underdone too but only from a touch/form/confidence perspective. As far as I can see there’s no evidence whatsoever that he wasn’t ready from an injury recovery point of view. People are flying off the handle without having the facts at hand, as usual.

I wasnt flying off the handle, as i said, i only went off what a teammate said.. so its reasonable to assume there might be something to it.

Evidence that Lever was “rushed back”, please? I thought he had been in full training for months before he returned.

Well we are sitting 3rd last on the ladder so naturally every minor problem is the result of the clubs incompetence. Remember May was also rushed back underdone but he played well and is playing this week so we forgot about that one

There’s always something going on with our club and it’s bloody annoying. 

Can anything go right anything????????

If he misses this week with soreness in the same knee that was rehabilitated after playing only 3/4s of a VFL game over 3 weeks that would be evidence in my opinion. Obviously the year out and the training period seemed patient enough, but then to be recalled to the much greater speed and impact of AFL level footy on such limited match play makes it seem like they rushed the final stage.

 Playing 90% game time would have had an impact also. Played less than that in total for the previous 3 weeks. The Frost concussion would have been part of that equation of course, but that seems a pretty clear picture to me.

 

Pretty sure it was a game and a half.

Going a bit by memory here, but fairly sure he played 70% game time in his first VFL game, less than 10 minutes in his second before the ankle injury and then didn't play at all in the 3rd week.

Nothings gone right since 1964, why would it now?

Take this as you will because it's been passed on by literally a mate who knows someone who knows someone (I know, I know), but what I've heard is it's a bone on bone issue in the same knee he injured previously, caused by a knock in the first quarter of the QB game. Could potentially miss more than a week, but similar to Edmund's report it's not a structural issue and it's not major or season ending by any stretch.

Rumour at this stage of course, but the mate who passed it on only passes on good info generally.

Thanks lord for passing on the info. 

We can not catch a break. This season has been one of the most frustrating seasons I can remember and that’s saying something considering what we have been through.

So what you’re saying, is that it might have nothing whatsoever to do with being “rushed back” (from a 12 month rehab) and might just be bad luck? You could knock me down with a feather!

(Sorry if it seems like I’m picking on you - I’m not, just frustrated by the general tone in this thread. Thanks for passing on the info.)

Sigh.

Haha yep, absolutely could be that (pending accuracy of information), almost thought of not passing it on as I was expecting a possible wack from you!

However, also could have been caused due to the lack of preparation given it seems likely it was the incident where he was very slow to react and was tackled awkwardly with contact to his knee. One of those 'open to interpretation' things that come up so often in footy I guess.

So you could say his rehab was all fine but his preparation was not (if that kind of makes sense).

A few hours from team selection and no injury report this week.

The new guy forgot??

No worries. This is a new innovation stemming from the coaching overhaul.

Until further notice, every injury at the club will be deemed the Mystery Injury of the The Week.

I think because the new guy is an actual doctor he has to respect patient confidentiality...

Continues the trend of us fielding well below our best side each week, while the opposition field close to their strongest side. Then to rub salt into the wound, the opposition lose their best players against us, making it easier for their next opponents to beat them.

Add that to our pathetic skills and you have season 2019.

What's really troubling is when the opposition lose players during a game against us and we still can't beat them when they have reduced rotations because of it. How often does that happen!

In fairness Collingwood probably had as many best 22 out as us on QBday.

Takes me back the infamous Melbourne V GWS game in 2014 (Roos's first year) when they didn't have a fit player on the bench in the last quarter but still out scored us: 5-1 to 1-5.

 

Rumour is all of Lever, Hibberd and Garlett will be out injured.

Just emphasizing, rumour.

 

I’m convinced the club is cursed... I can see lever having knee issues , gave up the farm for him and as usual just another disaster for the mfc
