Injuries - 2019

[graystar1]

Pretty sobering report I thought. Some of our very best are some time away from playing

 

[French Tiger]

Gutted.
Best player on our list and I have to wait another month

He has looked impressive in his games so far, but best player on the list ?

Ok I’ve gone too far. How about automatic first 18?

Yep, and many have missed a lot of footy so when they do come back they will need some time to find form and we definitely don't have the luxury of dropping too many games on the run home.

Last year 13 wins got Geelong into 8th position with the worst percentage of those on equal points, if we work on a similar scenario we will need to win 6 from 9. Taking a look i have put my own chance percentages for both wins and losses which i am sure is up for debate with the masses:

Win Categories
Lock in wins: Saints/Suns/Carlton
70/30 us: Brisbane/Melbourne
60/40 us: Port Adelaide

Loss
30/70 us: GWS
20/80 us: Pies/Eagles

We’ll win at least 7 of 9.

The AFL site now aligns with what Peter Burge said in his report so posting below so we can now track against expectations, (sure beats short, short-medium, medium, medium-long, long term):

Player	Injury	Estimated Return
David Astbury	Hamstring	Available
Trent Cotchin	Hamstring	Test
Shane Edwards	Hamstring	Test
Luke English	Shoulder	1 week
Kane Lambert	Achilles	Test
Oleg Markov	Suspension	Round 16
Callum Moore	Ankle	5-6 weeks
Toby Nankervis	Adductor	3-4 weeks
Marlion Pickett	Finger	4-5 weeks
Alex Rance	Knee	Season
Jack Riewoldt	PCL	2-3 weeks
Jack Ross	Ankle	4-5 weeks
Jayden Short	Elbow	Test
Ivan Soldo	Illness	Available
Fraser Turner	Leg	4-5 weeks
Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Fancy table!

Loss

20/80 us: Pies/Eagles

From your above estimations, my opinion would be as follows:

80/20 us: Saints, Suns
65/35 us: Carlton
60/40 us: Brisbane
55/45 us: GWS, Melbourne, Port
50/50: WCE
40/60 us: Coll

Above takes into account the likely strength of the oppositions lineups; ie; Melbourne have started to play more like last year and getting alot of players back, ditto with Port & WCE (Barrass for the Eagles been a massive out, due back this week or next, Natanui also back), they are all getting back to full strength and good form.

It's gonna be harder than people think to make the 8 from here, we do have our last 7 at the G but most are against very good opposition who look likely to field near full strength teams.

Lol that's a bit better.

The AFL has just released the 2018 official Injury Report which has shown a significant spike in injuries. It will likely be worse again this year.
At what stage does common sense come into play & they reduce the interchange bench substantially to take some of the speed out of the game? It's clear players bodies just aren't coping.
High speed equals soft tissue & collision injuries. Slow the game down by fatiguing the participants. Less contests, less burst speed, less injuries..
Dangerfield & the AFLPA standing in the way of this is madness.

Limiting interchanges will 100% increase injuries not decrease them

How do you know that?

 

[Tigerfan]

If Rance
Riewoldt
Nankervis
Ross were available.
Then who misses out?

It would be an interesting team night.

Nankervis for Soldo would be obvious.
Maybe short & Ross come back through the vfl.
And Butler out Riewoldt in.

Interesting: I heard Fraser Turner telling a friend of his at 1/4 time huddle in the VFL that he was probably 2 weeks away, apparently he repeated this at the pre-game 3121 function?.
Above Fraser is listed as (medium term) yet Marlion is listed as (short term), does that mean 1 week for Marlion?, i think not as he has yet to join in a main training session. Will look forward to seeing if he joins in Thursday's main training session

I would get down to training just to get a look at Marlion.

Intruiging.
