Injury 2024 St.Kilda Injury information

[Otiman]

If you work so hard on preventing injuries, your whole list will be unfit.

There's a fine balance between a hardened team that's got some injuries, and a weak team that's injury free.

The trick is to have the depth to cover for those injuries.

 

[Hubnester]

Alrighty just tidying up here. Apologies if any posts got swept up with the rest of them.
Let's try and keep on topic and please be considerate in how we talk to each other.
If you have questions regarding moderating actions keep it to a PM and not in a thread.

Thanks

I’d think the trick is balance the training loads with injury management personally.

Nobody in the league has the depth to cover their 3/4 of their best 10 out. We don’t have that obviously but just saying “have depth” isn’t particularly helpful

Is anyone training the house down in South Australia?

Clark still 2+ away. Very frustrating.

Dow at least has progressed a week. Will need at least one VFL game though. Sandringam have another bye next week though. The VFL fixturing is completely ridiculous. Hard to see what purpose the league is fulfilling now. Probably means we won't see him until the North game in round 8, unless we bring him in without a VFL game.

Howard back this week, presumably in the VFL. Be interesting to see how we go with Cordy vs Howard once he is available.

Hope he's in the VFL. Dougal was a bit rusty before his injury, and i've never seen Cordy as good as he is right now.

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
James Van Es	Ankle	2 weeks

This is the one we should be watching.

 

[Parkysp]

This is the one we should be watching.

Yeah I'm very keen to see how Van Es goes too. Can we please have a drafted key defender finally demand his spot and kick out a solid but not a star player to drive us up the ladder? Pretty please footy gods. I'm not asking for too much...

 

[stfan]

This is the one we should be watching.

In terms of the future maybe, but in terms of winning more senior games this season he is pretty irrelevant.

 

[Miha]

This is the one we should be watching.

Yup he really needs a run of games

 

[beside the seaside]

It's amazing when you have a couple of weeks without injuries how it starts to look hopeful. Fingers crossed it continues.

Think we currently need a gorilla full-back, nuggety small back-pocket & another decent Ruckman.

Not many gorilla full forwards left and those that are are not as effective as they used to be. The new generation is tall, agile, and also good at ground level.

Looks like Collard has done a calf or a hammy in the VFL.

Can this be corroborated at all for those not watching the VFL? Did anyone see the event, have a chat/hear the chats about such? Not intimating anything, just wanting additional context for those that are less fortunate on VFL matters.

No one else is talking about this

 

[Rogue Warrior]

I very much hope I’m wrong but I did see him icing his leg at 3 quarter time on the telecast and he didn’t get back onto the ground in the 4th.

Ice is precautionary for pretty much most injuries. Doesn’t indicate anything serious.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Good that Henry's timeline hasn't blown out if that's the case but not really ahead of schedule when it was listed at 6-8 from the time of injury. Regardless, it'll be great once he is back. We need his spark.

It’s about a week ahead.

King getting scans this afternoon. They are confident it’s on the minor side but the club still aren’t ruling out an ACL. (According to Josh Gabelich SEN)
