2023 Injury List

[monoccular 16,604]

Plates in feet are rarely "minor" .... perhaps a little less so if it is an ankle.

So no inside leaks as to which it is?   

Is it the same foot that kept him out at the start of the season? 😠

[dazzledavey36 49,742]

Sounds like syndesmosis

She’s already posted yesterday that he’s going for surgery today and it’s serious but potentially not season ending. 

I must have missed it, cheers @Jaded No More

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,101]

Tracc surely has to play a 50/50 split from now on?

They insert a plate for syndesmosis?

'potentially not season ending' is something as I was bracing myself for 'potentially career threatening'.

Me too, but @WalkingCivilWar said it might not be season ending, which means it's definitely not career threatening.

Although it might be the sort of injury that hampers him for a long time to come, especially if it's foot related, which we know is a persistent [censored].

That's what I'm thinking. Like it could be something you look back to and notice how he moved differently before it. Hope not, all we can do is hope not.

My understanding, perhaps flawed, is that a syndesmosis injury gets screwed, not plated.

Sorry I missed that part.

Rough guess and say Navicular.

OMFG these diagnosis are getting worse and worse.

Navicular is 12 months is it not? How could he possibly play again this year if it's a navicular?

I am going to wait for a real update before I hyperventilate. 

No doubt the club's injury report will be "foot - TBC"

Not that the club's injury updates fill me with confidence.

I'm literally just spit balling. I'd just wait for the doctors report lol

[Roost it far 6,426]

He’s not playing again this year you wouldn’t think

[DeeZee 6,905]

I wish the club would understand how much their supporters stress about these sorts of things.

Not to give us any sort of update three days out from the incident is pretty poor communication back to those that give up their hard earned for this football club.

[Demons11 6,407]

I reckon if it’s a plate going in and he got stood on, it’s potentially a lisfranc injury 

[Gawndy the Great 7,978]

Put him in cotton wool and get him ready for next year.

Move Kozzy into his role and give the kid a role to play as he is as lost as the city of Atlantis.

There are many other factors we need to get right to win a flag other than Fritta. He won’t be the difference either way and that foot hasn’t been right all year. 

[spirit of norm smith 13,578]

Ouch. Fritsch is done if it’s needing a plate. He’s the only bloke who can kick straight!!

Yep..literally the only player we have who can kick straight consistently. FML. 5.15 might look like the good old days soon.  he's going to be a massive loss.

[daisycutter 28,723]

a thought out of left field

I wonder how disco would go up forward. He's just languishing in the magoos because our back spots are so tight.

he's a great kick, mark and interceptor. If he played like a defender in the backline, he'd just have to mark, turn around a and kick goals - lol

[DeeZee 6,905]

Out for 7-8 weeks

[The heart beats true 16,643]

Fritta 7-8 weeks according to club. TMac 4-6. That’s our 2 best forwards from the last 5 years.

Time to get inventive.

[Nascent 7,710]

Fritsch 7-8 weeks all going well.

Hibberd could be available for the Lions.

No mention of Verrall who wasn't seen much in the 2nd half. Hopefully just playing limited minutes.

[OhMyDees 1,397]

Willing to bet Fritsch’s injury was just waiting to happen and he was being managed with it from the start of the season.
