Injury Report - Season 2023

Did you see the incident ?

He stumbled at training awkwardly and hyperextended his knee when his foot got stuck and ripped the hamstring off the bone. It required surgery to reattach the hamstring tendon. Players have missed a year with this kind of injury. It's was a one in a thousand type event. Nothing to do with his age and certainly wasn't just a "hammy"

Hope that solves the puzzle.
Plus the wound got infected and delayed his re-hab.

My point was to pick a non Cat B. Another rookie.
We couldn't have done that. Cat B rookies don't come at the expense of ordinary rookies, they essentially sit outside the standard list. By taking Colina, it didn't cost us an extra ordinary rookie pick. List sizes are 36-38 main list, 4-6 rookies and then up to two Cat B rookies. That is, you can have 44 main list + rookies, and then additionally up to two Cat B rookies.

I must admit I am puzzled by the time frame Gibcus will be out. 14 plus weeks for a 20 year olds hammy seems very strange.

It's not a soft tissue injury, like a strained hamstring where you miss 3-6 weeks waiting for the muscle to heal.

He has ruptured the tendon that connects the hamstring to the bone. Think of it more like snapping an achilles tendon.

Surgery to reattach, then the tendon has to heal and that takes time as tendons have low blood flow, then you have to repair all the strength and conditioning the leg has lost, then you have to regain the conditioning to play again. It's a long process.

On injury crisitunity, StKilda has been on top of the AFL Injury ladder all year. Destroyed, it would seem. But they're on top of the real ladder.
Yeah Jack but they've played Freo, Bulldogs, Essendon and the Suns. Credit to them but in racing parlance that is mid week bush form. Not even Saturday class.

Let's see how they go in the black type.

Add to that the fact that he had an infection in the wound which may have severely compromised his recovery time.

Like I previously reported, there’s only about 3 surgeons in Melbourne who can perform the repair work on those types of injuries. Apparently the tendon rolls back up towards the buttock and has to be pulled down and reattached. A very specialised area ( like the limited amount of surgeons who would perform Lars a couple of years back )
Unfortunately there was an internal infection which attacks the repaired tendon and the supporting muscles around it.
Would have set him back 6 weeks minimum.

Yep, it's a significant injury, with a return in months rather than weeks.

As I said when he did it, the thinking needs to be anything he does this year is a bonus, and that was before the infection.
 
We have a perfectly balanced ruck roster right now. No other club has two AFL rucks and two cusp rucks. And a Cat B.

The talent of the individuals is yet to be established.
