Just back from training.
Simmo injured his ankle and it looks like Sarge has done another hammy or some upper leg injury.
Not sure how Simmo did his or how badly but he had his right foot/ankle all iced up and the trainers fetched crutches for him. Hopefully it's only a sprain and nothing is broken.
Schulz pulled a muscle while McGuane tackled/pushed him right in front of me. Left thigh is bandaged.
-
Does Schultz wear those thigh supports like some of the other players wear? If not, he should. Hope Simmo's ankle's not too bad.

I haven't paid much attention if Sarge does but most of them do wear those supports.

Reported on SEN that Simmon has fractured his ankle to have an op today. :(

Just bloody great :(. Right near the end of the session too :banghead. Six weeks gone plus probably another month on top of that to get match fit again. There goes any thoughts of doing well in the NAB Cup :P.
Simmo was grimiscing while three trainers worked on his ankle and he couldn't put any weight on it when he stood up which is why the trainers fetched the crutches.
This will mean he still should be okay for round 1 but he'll have hardly any more preseason preparation. Wonder if this will affect his season? :-\

LOL I wish I was even half as fit as them. Running flat out for 2 hours in 30+ degree heat :P.
I was hard at it leaning against the fence rail watching lol when the ball came near the boundary line where I was and McGuane tackled Schulz heavily to the ground. McGuane asked Schulz if he was okay and Sarge said yep. As he was getting up off the ground he realised he had done something.

According to the news, he's had surgery to insert a pin into his ankle. He broke his ankle while in a marking contest at training yesterday. He'll miss all of NAB cup but should be back for round 1.

Looks like Julz will be busy nursing Simmo back to health for the next month or 2 :cuddles :shh

Mail is that he will miss 8 weeks at least. His pre season is down the drain. Will be underdone IF plays round 1 which is a BIG if ;)

The Age is saying Simmo aggravated an old injury when he landed heavily in a marking contest at training on Monday.

Agree Jack. We don't want to rush him back for round 1 and then have struggling for the rest of the season. It will take at least 6 weeks for the bone to just heal itself especially as it is one that bears the body's weight. We're going to have to go to plan B with Knobel, Patto and Polak sharing the ruck duties while Simmo is given time to get fully right.
-
Nearly every player that has an interupted pre season has struggled during the course of the year. Being a big player in this instance makes matters even worse.
Irrevelvant of what positive spin the club puts on it and it will find a positive spin no doubt, he will struggle
-
Don't like the sound of it being an old aggravated injury either, he might have recurring troubles with this right through the season. Without Simmo we will struggle to make finals.

Correct!

Didn't Sarge cop a similar injury a couple of years ago?

Richmond football operations manager Paul Armstrong said Simmonds fractured his ankle in a marking contest at training on Monday.
"It was just a simple thing but he landed awkwardly and knew straight away that it wasn't good," Armstrong said. "He was taken for X-rays which confirmed a fracture. He's had a similar injury before. I think during his time at Melbourne."
Simmonds has been told he should be able to resume running in about six weeks.

I was hoping our broken bone curse of last year was over!!

I can do that!
Definitely will be out for 8 weeks. My son broke his wrist last year and he was out of action for 8 weeks and he didn't have a pin in it or anything. Simmo will probably wear an ankle brace for a while as well. Knobel and Patto better start getting their acts together. Wonder if we could pull Staff out of retirement?
-
Don't know if it's practical but it would handy if the Club could make use of that harness Browny and Newy used in some way to help Simmo reduce as best as possible any drop in fitness or leg muscle strength.
-
Id keep him out until round 6 or 7. start him on a 2nd phase preseason and let him rip from r6 onwards.

Opportunity in pre-season now for our rookie Gus Graham as well

Yep opportunity knocks although Gus is still light on size-wise to ruck at AFL level.

True - but I reckon the experience would be invaluable for him - will give him and us a indication of where he is at as they say
Actually my view is it will probably show he's got a lot to learn but you've got to start somewhere :thumbsup

Agree he should be given a go WP but just sparingly off the extended bench so he doesn't get smashed by the bigger body ruckmen like Stephen King or dare I say Otto :D.

LOL.
He might be a injury-prone lug whose tapwork goes to the opposition more than his teammates but Otto is still bigger and stronger than Gus at this stage ;). Let Patto ruck with Meyer at his feet against Otto. Remind Geelong what they coughed up :stupid.

Tiger ruckman's good news for Round 1
18 January 2007 Herald-Sun
Rebecca Williams
RICHMOND ruckman Troy Simmonds yesterday received encouraging news after surgery on his broken ankle.
Simmonds, who injured himself at training on Monday, had a pin inserted in his right ankle on Tuesday night.
"They were pleased with the way that it came out and there were no complications," Richmond football manager Paul Armstrong said yesterday.
"He's still on track to be running in six weeks and playing in Round 1."
Simmonds will wear a special cam-walker boot for about a month.

The old positive spin on things, lets see where he is come round 1

True he'll still be doubtful or at least well underdone by round 1 but the main thing to get out of that article is there weren't any complications. The last thing we need to hear is it had some long-term effect of his footy career.
-
I still reckon he shouldnt be rushed, give him a 2nd mini preseason and get him ready for round 5 or 6 or 7. They wont do it but Id rather get 15 or 16 good games out of Simmo than 8 or 9 good ones and 12 or 13 average ones coz hes not fit enough.

Here's a pic of Simmo at Friday's training
