Shame for Salem and us. Thank goodness we can allow him to get to full fitness and there is no pressure to rush him back…

 

Well thats a significant set back.  4 weeks plus recovery then a few weeks in the VFL.  Probably looking at about round 9 earliest now.

Hasn't been able to get back to his best since the GF


Rivers  Bowey  Hibberd Tomlinson Brayshaw Harmes  maybe McVee etc will adequately cover for no Salem.  He might not play much AFL this year.

Oh FFS! So frustrating for Salem and the team. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised as he’s always struggled to stay healthy and on the park. He’s only played 2 full seasons out of 9.

His 2021 season was just brilliant though and we all wish he could stay healthy and replicate that form again. We’re a far better team with Salem firing. Wishing him a speedy recovery!

 

FWIW if you Google ‘small meniscus tear recovery time’ it comes back with 2-3 weeks. Obviously there are a lot of contributing variables 

Can't take a trick.

At least this gives McVee more opportunities. 


I blame his putrid hair. Obviously all this bleach is not only deluding his eyes on what looks good it’s ruining the rest of his body too.

In the wash up of this years Premiership win by us someone will do an article headed "Operation Salem". It'll be all about how we managed his early season setbacks and got him cherry rip for finals where he utterly destroyed it. I for one am looking forward to reading it.


Ahhh Salo, it's all because the gunners are up and about and you don't want to miss any of it isn't it!?

Stupid overreaction. As long as we give him enough training time and Casey games Christian  can make a successful comeback before the bye. Agree that we have a wealth of HBFlankers lining up to take his place. 

Just give him the time he needs, we don't need to be rushing him back.

Im sure the FD are all over this.

And AI... 😇

The recovery time for a small meniscus tear in elite sport can vary depending on the severity of the tear, the individual's overall health, and the treatment plan. In general, conservative treatment, such as physical therapy and rest, can take anywhere from four to six weeks for recovery. However, if surgery is necessary, the recovery time can be longer, ranging from six weeks to three months or more.

It's important to note that elite athletes may have a shorter recovery time due to their high level of fitness and access to specialized medical treatment. However, it's still crucial to follow a proper recovery plan and not rush back to training or competition too quickly, as this can lead to re-injury or further damage to the knee. The best course of action is to work with a qualified medical professional to create an individualized treatment plan based on the severity of the injury and the athlete's specific needs.

Agree. But if we utilise our depth to cover for him and give him time to get over his injuries and get ‘pre season’ fitness back I would be more than happy if he came back even a bit later in the season (if required)

Come finals we need a fit 22 on the ground, not a injury laden team as we had last year

 

Salem's a good player.
He's also coverable.
No need to rush.

 

Hopefully it's not as bad as T Mac's in 2019.

From memory he kicked 6 goals against Carlton to 3 quarter time then missed the final 6 games of the year.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
