Injury 2020 injury thread

[JZedd]

I think we play another intra club tomorrow. There's a chance Gunston plays. Touch and go.

 

[threesixpio]

Remember thinking Pop was definitely injured during the game. Those post game injury reports are hopeless

 

[threesixpio]

“Good thing” we have COVID19 with no small forwards at the ready

PS - not a good thing at all but you catch my drift

When will this Hawthorn jet return from his ACL?

Jarman Impey ruptured his ACL in round 18 last year. Here's his plan to return.

If and when the season resumes Lewis and Scrimshaw should be fit, Hardwick will also be close to selection. That leaves Impey as the only player unavailable.

How some of the injured young players like Morris, Walker, Moore and Koschitzke are tracking I have no idea.

 

[WWSD]

Looks a bit out of date. Dimma should be less by now shouldn’t he?

From what I have heard Hardwick is just about ready to go, and will certainly be by June 11.

Interesting is that june 11 is nearly 11 months for impy so he should be able to play 10 games before finals.

Who comes out for Hardwick?

Who comes out for Hardwick?

morrison. Prob have to fit scrimshaw and Lewis in also. Although I think Lewis might have to wait. Have to play scrimshaw, he's unreal

 

[PT Bar None]

I thought we were quite tall in round 1, so squeezing Lewis in would be very much a squeeze.

The real intangible here (not just for us) is the variance in conditioning the players return in, re: isolation training. I know they would've used tech to try and manage and support that, but personality type likely playing a bigger role here than usual in levels. Might see the odd smokey selected around the league?

Agree Gerry19. Scrimshaw is a gun. I’m worried about his susceptibility to injury though. Lewis is a wild card for me. At times last year he looked ready to grab a game by the throat and kick a bag. I would persist in his development if he is fit. So I would add O’Brien to the outs to make way for Lewis. Our depth in talent is starting to create selection headaches. This is very good problem to have.

Walker now with a hip.

I feel for the poor bugger, his body just doesn't seem to want to hold up.

Ahh geez. How dissapointing for him and us Hawk fans.

 

[kirbatron]

great to have dimma back.

hopefully scrim is fit... looks to be thicker around legs/core area

Yeah but there was a post this morning talking about a hip injury

I’m also thicker around the core area since isolation.

Probs not ready for Round 2 though...

Scrimma and Dimma will kick it to Wingerz

I’m also thicker around the core area since isolation.

It’s the new polite way of saying fat

Hawks reported on players on the 11th of May

The lack of opportunity to train with a group has held Mat Walker back from getting the all clear on his hip.


“The next step for Mat is about three weeks of skills-based work, so again, once we’re able to train in groups we expect to see some solid progression in his recovery.”

Think he will be right to go by the time the season gets back underway. The bigger issue is going to be what happens with the guys who don't get a game.

Scratch matches with other clubs yeah?

 

[Gralin]

Scratch matches with other clubs yeah?

But no VFL players yeah? So what happens when you cant field enough for a second team due to injuries?
Or its a bunch of kids and not everyone can play in position?
Going to be tough

Yeah could be a 14 v 14 scratch match or something. More like match sim at training, but against another club. Not great preparation, but that's all they've got at present.
