Injury List 2020

[Demons1858 1,658]

Took the kids to family day today just outside the G and chatted to a few of the injured boys. Jones has been cleared of a potential break to his leg. Was wearing a compression bandage. Hopefully the swelling doesn't go down to his ankles and cause issues. May said he would be available for the next match but mentioned something about getting stitches out so l have some concerns still. Joel Smith seems more likely to return for the first few rounds which logically means he will come through the vfl first. Fritsch had a decent bandage on this knee. l'm guessing he will be out for a while also. AVB had a bandage on this left calf area. Hopefully a healing graze/cut and not a calf muscle tear. Jetta didn't have any bandages on his legs and seems ok

AVB said he felt as god as he has in 3 years after yesterday. So no concerns there.

Bailey has an infection around his knee which is not serious. Petty has groin issues but not osteo related.

Does anyone know exactly what Smith has done to his foot?

@Satyriconhome do you know what’s wrong with Smith and how long away he is?

Throughout Preseason he was reported to be super fit. The most recent training report had him participating but kicking his on his non-preferred. 

I think he could add speed and athleticism to the backline and support May and Lever.

Not sure, in rehab, apart from kicking on his non preferred, he seems ready to go

They have had a few when ramping up their rehab get a bit sore around the groin, Baker and Petty are two that come to mind

Asked Smith a couple of weeks ago said his foot was fine

[Farmer 684]

Is the club not publishing a list with details?

would love to know more about Koladjashnij. If the poor bloke is not recovered after a complete summer break then regrettably a decision may have to be made. Very sorry about this as he can really play.. Not certain when we can add to a list but I was impressed by the bloke from Casey who filled in in the ruck last Friday when Bradtke was off the ground. I wouldn't mind him ( whatever his name is) as a backup ruckman. Bradke looks to be a couple of years away 

 

[Lucifers Hero 37,032]

Harley Bennell	Calf	TBC
Kade Chandler	Wrist	1-2 weeks
Kyle Dunkley	Foot	Test
Max Gawn	Knee	Test
Mitch Hannan	Groin	TBC
Kade Kolodjashnij	Concussion	TBC
Steven May	Knee	Test
Nathan Jones	Corked shin	Available
Harry Petty	Groin	TBC
Braydon Preuss	Knee	5-7 weeks
Updated: Tuesday, March 3

Early prognosis

The Demons have a few that are a while away with Bennell and Preuss working their way back from lengthy complaints, although the former has stepped up training in an encouraging sign he might finally be putting his calf issues behind him. Gawn and May are expected to play this week against Hawthorn while mystery surrounds Joel Smith's fitness, given his absence from the first two pre-season hitouts. – Jennifer Phelan

As an aside, while this shows injury list as being in the 'matches' tab on the AFL website I couldn't find the lists that way.  This new site leaves a lot to be desired - so much good info has simply disappeared or impossible to find from the menu.

Couldn't agree more, dd36.  I emailed the AFL about my dissatisfaction with their shoddy product and unsurprisingly they haven't even had the decency to reply.

However, if every poster on this site were to do the same thing, maybe they might take notice.

The only thing we have is that he cut his foot (at the beach?) and it became infected. Whether there's something else/more since, hard to know.

Not having much luck.

Doubt Joel Smith will be available any earlier than round 2 going by a short convo I had with him at family day. Not sure what the issue is though

[DemonLad5 1,640]

Do we know how Hannan is tracking? Would be handy for R1 

Bennell and potentially Petty seem to be the only best 22 players unavailable 

[DubDee 20,602]

Having virtually no best 22 players unavailable for round 1 and 90% of the top tier getting a good preseason is a great result.

No excuses Demons!!  If Clarry played like he did last year off no preseason, I cannot wait for the season to begin!

*I am not including Bennell as he has so long to go to be considered for a game.

Correct but Petty is VFL when he returns.

Pruess also Casey only Seniors if Gawn injured.

[Blistering 490]

The fact that our injury list seems to be shrinking probably means that it’s less likely that we will find it necessary to fill the vacancy caused by Nietzche’s long term injury.

[Demonland 64,887]

My fault for starting the sub topic but all Saints Injury (or lack there of) Talk can be discussed here: https://demonland.com/forums/topic/47781-saints-have-no-injuries-going-into-2020/

 

[Dante 2,562]

Was told yesterday that when Mitch Brown was with Essendon, his shoulders and hips were shot, that's probably why he was delisted. He was training once a fortnight with them, since he's been with us he hasn't missed a training session.

Amazing what a different outlook can do to a player.

[spirit of norm smith 12,912]

Kk should be listed as long term/indefinite.  He won’t play this year.

Bennell will be managed through 2020. I think earliest is mid year for a return to full match fitness. 

Nietschke knee is out for the year.

Preuss won’t be back until round 5-6. 
 

Joel Smith hasn’t played so will be managed and expect he may be a round 3-4 return. Super talented so fingers crossed  

Gawn. Round 1 probably- relief. 

Others are all likely to be available for round 1. 

[Demonland 64,887]

Seems Joel Smith's injury is a quad injury.

"Joel Smith, who was initially named in Melbourne’s first Marsh Series game, won’t be taking to the field this week as he continues to rehab a minor quad injury."
