What's the recovery period?

Some people never get the same lung function back again.

A bit of guesswork here but from out of the carnage, the injury list with a month to go looks a bit like this:-

Jake Bowey (ill) —TBC
Kade Chandler (AC joint) — expected to start integrating into contact soon.
Tom Fullarton (hamstring) — continues to work through his recovery.
Luker Kentfield (pneumonia) — hospitalised in Perth over Christmas break and slowly recovering there. Expected back at the club soon.
Judd McVee (foot) (hamstring) — TBC
Jake Melksham (hamstring) — will miss the next block of pre-season training.
Christian Petracca (ribs) — expected to restart full training at the club soon.
Christian Salem (ill) — TBC
Charlie Spargo (Achilles) — making slow progress in his recovery.
Koltyn Tholstrup (bone stress) —  expected to be sidelined for the next 8 to 10 weeks.
Jack Viney (rib cartilage) — TBC
Caleb Windsor (skin infection on his foot) —1 week

i think, at this stage, it's something more like only fullarton, kentfield, mcvee, and tholstrup with injuries / illnesses likely to rule them out of the first part of the pre-season / season

[dees189227 12,453]

So according to the herald sun website Judd has a hamstring injury

We've had quite a few players this year and last year with infections... maybe worth keeping some betadine in the change room and reminding the boys about the value of a soapy shower!

Does a session in seawater help avoid this sort of infection.

Used to be a regular report of players shivering in the water as it helped muscle recovery or something

(Help its obvious  Im out of my pay grade  here).

Would a  training base closer to the sea facilitate this.

I was advised that Spas are the ideal site for spreading infections.

(Hoping for someone with idea of reality)

Anyone else like me and waiting patiently for the McVee injury update?!

Yes for sure. I’ve broken it into 3 categories given the hammy didn’t look like a micky mouse one.

GOOD NEWS - 4 week and will miss just round 1.

MEH/ MODERATE NEWS - 8-10 weeks and will be back about round 6

BAD NEWS - tore the string off the born. Surgery and won’t be seen until after the bye.

Anyone else like me wonder why other clubs get the results of player scans and make them public a lot quicker than MFC (or is this just a case of MFCSS)?

Scans were yesterday afternoon. I suspect the radiologist would have only had a chance to look at it today. They will then have to speak to the Specialist doctor around prognosis and recovery time. I doubt we will hear anything until tomorrow.

i'm now suspecting that if it was (relatively) good news we would have heard by now 🤒

[Roost it far 9,666]

8-12 weeks is my guess

Big Loss

Fullarton played in yesterday's match sim, so just Kentfield, McVee and Tholstrup out for Round 1 (with Kosi of course) and still a big question mark over Charlie Spargo - still no match sim for him yesterday, although encouragingly he took part in other drills, pre match-sim.

Case Study was Max's knee in 2022 against Brisbane. I think it was almost a full week before we found out the recovery time AND that was good news considering what the potential was.

It was round 2 2023 on a Friday night and the good news that it wasn't serious came through on Sunday afternoon. I only remember because the news came through during the last qtr of the Casey game and everyone in the crowd was talking about it.

Yeah same vibes

[Roost it far 9,666]

McVee gets 6-8 weeks. On the website

that truly sucks

[adonski 12,949]

Might have Judd and Kozzie enter the side at the same time

[Demonland 73,549]

6-8 weeks

 

 

[whatwhat say what 23,484]

Well that’s a shame, for him and the club

[dees189227 12,453]

Dam, not judd. Ugh

[Roost it far 9,666]

With Salem and Windsor fit we should be ok. What we don’t need is any more best 22 going down. I hate injuries.

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,289]

6-8 weeks is smack back in the middle of the of the good to bad news spectrum. He’ll probably back in the side around the round 6 game against Freo.

AMW seems the logical replacement while Howes and Hore might be asked to play on smaller defenders if either of those guys has a good practice match series.

Please no more injuries given Kozzie’s also out for a while.

[Demon Jack 7,145]

Juddy hasn't missed since he debuted and has had a pretty good track record with injuries so this really sucks.

Really hope this means that AMW gets another go in the senior side. I thought he showed a lot of promise late last year.
