Can’t believe this.. we must be cursed feel for Trac

 

 

Melbourne star Christian Petracca has sustained a cracked rib following a knock at training on Friday at Casey Fields.

AFL Performance Manager, Selwyn Griffith, provided an update on the midfielder’s injury.

“During today’s training session, Christian received a knock to the rib area in a contest,” Griffith said.

“We sent Christian for scans this afternoon, which unfortunately showed a crack in his rib. 

“This is frustrating news for Christian, who was progressing well and had recovered from the rib and spleen issues he sustained during the 2024 season.

“A timeline for his recovery will be determined in due course.”

Coming up on ch10 sport next.

What an earth are they doing at training? First Max with his laryx and now Trac with a broken rib. 

Anyone know it’s the same ones as the QB game ?

Disappointing but he'll be back running in a few weeks and still plenty of time until round 1. He'll be fine.

A pretty common injury that won't effect round one.

No biggie.

Let’s train non contact, that’ll help us for round 1

Might not do his confidence a lot of good.

these things happen. he'll be right for rd 1. not ideal but rather now than in season.

Either he has done too many ab crunches (likely), or he hasn’t done enough (a scary thought).

Max'll be able to share a thing or two with him about not losing, or at least regaining, confidence after a repeat injury.

Hope they didn't send him to the Epworth

Was Moore in the vicinity?

This is a disappointing setback for all of us, but I commend our Club for communicating the news immediately.  This probably wouldn’t have happened a few months ago.

Fake news

could be worse

No contact for a couple of weeks, then light training through Feb. Thats probable for tracc.

The thing is we have had a very good pre-season otherwise.

Might help.

He'll be fine. Is in ripping nick so the run is in the legs.

This really would be almost a non-issue if he didn’t have the huge hit last year. Obviously the main concern is his mental capacity after this, but I guess it could go one of two ways, 1. It impacts him negatively mentally or, 2. He took a big hit, went to hospital and this strengthens his confidence. Time will tell.

i guess the main concern outside of that is if his rib area is compromised as a result of the hit last year

I wonder if he actually sustained it on his honeymoon?

They have their own problems it seems with Nick Daicos dealing with plantar fasciitis….
