Title: Injury update
Post by: one-eyed on February 06, 2008, 03:09:37 AM
Richmond is in an excellent position on the injury front, with only No. 2 draft pick Trent Cotchin out long-term.

The midfielder is still recovering from a broken ankle suffered in the TAC Cup finals.

Link (http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/common/story_page/0,8033,23166845%255E19742,00.html)

On BF they are saying Cotch is 9 weeks away.

Trent is yet to fully run, end of this week, and is expected to spend 4 weeks running before contact and is expected to spend another 5 weeks of contact before being considered available for AFL selection.

9 weeks still?!

Sheesh that's some injury to the young lad.

Hope he doesn't have ongoing concerns.

As long as Cotchin is 100% right when he finally plays then it doesn't matter if that's 9 weeks away. Mid-April still gives him most of the season to play.

From the Age

Trent Cotchin is recovering from the broken ankle that ruined his pre-season, while Angus Graham (ankle) also is likely to miss the start of the pre-season competition. Luke McGuane, according to Bowden, is also in doubt to line up against St Kilda next week.

"Trent's had a little bit of trouble with his ankle (and) subsequently with his Achilles, so not going great," Bowden said.

"He has good days and bad days, so I'd say he won't play (in the NAB Cup), barring a miracle."

as he is an investment in the future no need to rush him into the action, unlike some other club who shelled out millions for his signature.

Yes, though he must have done bugger all in pre-season, so he'd be a chance to play some senior games late in the season at best.

yes ... no need to rush Cotchin at all ... just get his ankle 100% ...

i don't think he needs to do any skills or ball work ...

already made player ... just needs to put on the muscle like all 17 year olds ...

Cotchin won't be risked in NAB Cup
2:55 PM Wed 6 February, 2008
By Catherine Murphy
richmondfc.com.au

RICHMOND’S first pick in the2007 NAB AFL National Draft, Trent Cotchin, will not feature during the club’s NAB Cup campaign.

The 17-year-old, who underwent ankle surgery before the draft, has suffered achilles soreness and assistant coach David King says the club won’t be risking him.

“He’s so young so we’re taking a careful approach with him. He’s the youngest player at the club and we just don’t want to regress with him at all,” King said.

“He won’t feature early in our games and he certainly won’t play through the NAB Cup. We just want him completely free of any issues before we push him.”

exactly, why risk injurying him in a season that won't really mean much in the end. Would much prefer to see him play fewer games but at 100% rather than all the season but with an injury cloud

Exactly. 2009 and beyond is when we'll need Cotchin. There's no rush.

Connors played in the intra-club so he's fine.

First I've heard about Luke having a shoulder. I thought it was him still recovering from the OP he carried last year. Hopefully another goalpost didn't fall and land on him again lol.

That's as obvious they can be after the Nathan Brown (or Simmo) debacle last year.

Pretty sure it was one of those.  Was 2 weeks away for about 9 weeks.  ;D :rollin

McGuane is a little behind in his pre-season as he chose to play with Coburg in the finals last year which in turn put off his post season opp.

I believe he may be playing this weekend in Coburg's practise match which will be played on Saturday at Geelong as a curtain raiser for the NAB cup game down there.

From training today:

Rance - ankle done in the Coburg practice match. He said he'll be fine so I don't think it's too serious. Basically stood on the boundary and encouraged his teammates training then stuck his right foot in a bucket of ice water.

Edwards has a minor quad. Still trained fully today but iced up his thigh afterwards.

Thursty copped a minor cut to his leg in a marking contest with Richo so he should be okay.

Kingy hardly trained today but there wasn't anything noticably wrong.

Cotchin is still the only long-term injury according to the trainers.

http://www.injuryupdate.com.au/afl.php

Did I miss something or is this the first time it's been publicly stated Cotchin has stress fracture(s) of the foot  ???. I notice this was also mentioned in Karen Lyon's Age article.
Title: Re: Injury update
Post by: mightytiges on February 26, 2008, 04:34:48 PM
Spoke to a Richmond trainer today at training. He said the report in the paper about Cotchin having foot stress fractures was crap. He's only a couple of weeks away and will be right by round 3. He said Cotchin was having shots at goal with his right foot today whereas before it was only his left foot.

Meyer may be close to playing either this weekend or if not then next weekend. I presume starting at Coburg.

Rance thinks he is a chance to play for Coburg this week. He trained for a large part of today but finished off sticking his foot and ankle in a bucket of ice water for 20 minutes. They think he'll be right by Thursday.

Petts looked like he picked up a niggle. Nothing serious as he was still able to run a lap with a trainer but he pulled out of main training.

The impression I got bluey was Cotchin will be back training in 2-3 weeks and will play for Coburg come round 3.

We got talking amongst ourselves about Cotch spending most of the year at Coburg due to him lacking a full preseason and one of the trainers chipped in and said he's got the talent so why not use him as a pinchhitter off the bench for 10 minutes at a time so he doesn't tire out. He could be the difference in some games.

Boy that's a big call for an injured first year player who hasn't played a game yet. I hope that trainer is right, wouldn't it be nice to have recruited a youngster capable of that. Personally I'd be happy if he just showed something this year and settled in, I don't expect him to be a match winner.
Title: Re: Injury update
Post by: bluey_21 on February 28, 2008, 05:33:37 PM
I actually quite like this idea, as long as he is not carrying any injuries. If match fitness is the only prob then I think it is a brilliant idea to give Trent a pinch-hitting role.
Title: Re: Injury update
Post by: mightytiges on February 28, 2008, 05:45:01 PM
It is a big call but if Cotch's ankle/achilles gets right then IMO he could still show some value as a pinch-hitter this year. He was a freak at U18 level.

Injury update from training today:

Alex Rance seems to have re-hurt his ankle. Went to ground holding his ankle which didn't look too good initially. He walked off and then with the trainers did a run up and back saying the problem is when he changes direction.

(http://www.gspimages.com.au/images/thumbs/150/67279.jpg) (http://www.gspimages.com.au/images/thumbs/150/67278.jpg) (http://www.gspimages.com.au/images/thumbs/150/67277.jpg)

Jordy only did laps. Wouldn't kick the footy either. Not sure if it was here or on Y&B but I remember someone giving us game updates saying they thought Jordy had strained a hammy. Perhaps it that.

Also in rehab were Simmo, Kingy, Polak, Collard, Cotchin and Meyer. Cotchin was kicking the footy on both feet so the round 3 return prognosis seems right. Not sure what's wrong with Collard. He joined the rehab group about halfway through training. Polak was still limping so I'd doubt he'll play against Geelong. Why risk him.
Title: Re: Injury update
Post by: mightytiges on March 06, 2008, 04:33:51 PM
Rance trained fully today although he was still discussing his ankle with the trainers after training had finished.

On the other hand Danny looked to be limping again so I guess his hip is still giving him trouble :(.

Polak still looks to be limping too from that bruised heel so he must be doubtful for tomorrow.

Cotchin was kicking again today with his right foot so fingers crossed he is on schedule for a round 3 start.

McMahon, Collard and Kingy, who all didn't train on Tuesday, trained fully today.

Send him to germany for treament or at least get someone who knows WTF they're doing !!!

You know we expect so much from our cubs, its sad really. I was looking at this list and thinking how good it would be for Cotchin to play but then pulled myself up. We already desperately expect so much of our this kid, like the rest of our new recruits and even all the way up to our 21/22 year old developing players and it is unrealistic.

I think the reason for this is because we don't have any senior stars to rely upon so we look to our young promising and 'potential' players to compete with other teams seasoned players and beat them barely a heartbeat after they have moved from the TAC Cup. I do it too. When there is no hope with what you have then you look for a miracle.

Cogs is the only player who could come in and make an impact but I just don't hink his fitness, confidence or skills are up to it as yet otherwise they would have played him or a least taked him up.

Meyer is a potentially good player but he is always injured. I don't hink he will every don the yellow and black again.  :'(

Graham will play again and I expect him tostep into our senior line up soon. we need a ruckman with height to compete against the other monsters of the league.

Raines has been missed. His attack on the ball in the first two games had me believing he may well have remembered what made him a good football in 2006!

I hope we don't see any of this years draft picks this season. They need time to develop in the reserves just like Gellong has done with their young players in the past. Whether we can afford to do this is the biggest question of all...

I don't have a problem with them playing as you don't hold back a kid if he's ready to go but you're right Stripes we expect these cubs to walk in and star because we are so desperate for hope for the future.

Danny is still "TBA". It doesn't sound too good for him.

Well he would want to play in 4-5 weeks.

Start and then star at Coburg which should take 3-5 weeks and then play at Richmond in decent form for the rest of year to stay on our list.

We cant wait for him forever and he's right in the firing line to be considered for the trash unless the club actually has the balls to make the delistments of Tivendale and Hyde in which he might be saved.

True 90% of possessions are uncontested these days but if you watched the Showdown there wasn't much weakness. Crows players going down left right and centre lol.

I spoke with Rainesy on Saturday at Coburg. He said that his knee was feeling pretty good and he had ran a few laps in the morning.

From what he said, 2 weeks sounds about right.

Having Gus back at Coburg will make a big difference also, Cartledge has been doing a great job in the ruck but once he goes off the Burgers have really struggled.

Don't know what you think TFL but I reckon Gus would probably come back through the Coburg ressies ??? Ditto Cogs

I would say Gus may play ones, it really depends on what the RFC conditioning staff think they are up to.

Cogs would be pretty underdone and will most likely play twos. i dont know that Gus had been upto.

I will be happy if they play two's!!!

Imagine the starting line up in the two's of Gus in the ruck with Cogs ruck rover and Cotchin rover. Pretty handy!!

Hope Danny gets fit, see some similarities between him and Schulz. Has an underperforming body that always seems to fail on him. Danny has all the tools to be a very very good footballer. Would be top 5 at the club in terms of kicking, fantastic athletic ability and a sharp footy brain. Yes, needs to be put on the Nathan Foley program and work harder. But needs a healthy body before any of this can eventuate. :pray

And yes please MT, anything on where is he training-wise?

Without wanting or intending to re-ignite the Cogs debate, my gut feeling says that he will be available at around the same time as Cotchin - maybe rounds 10 - 12 mid season.  I think he was more forward than Cotchin early on but had the hamstring tightness slow his recovery while Cotchin has been catching up unhindered since his ankle mended.  Even though they are coming off 2 vastly different fitness bases, I believe that circumstances will fall so that they are both available at around the same time.

Thanks MT.  I actually thought Meyer was going to be the least likely to play again this year (and in his case that would have been almost certainly the end) so for his sake that's good news.  At least he might get a last crack at the title.

They will both have to wait atleast a week possibly 2.

Coburg arent playing this week and the week after only the seniors are playing which poses a bit of a selection issue with two guys coming back from long injury breaks.

Do they risk them in the seniors of Coburg or in the reserves?

Not sure julz. Richo didn't train on Tuesday but often the senior players have light weeks. Last week Browny and Sugar didn't train before the Geelong game yet they still played. Hopefully the big fella is fine. There's been no talk of him being in doubt.

We might have to send Cass to that German sports doctor too if he does another hammy. The poor kid can't take a trick with soft tissue injuries.
It is a fair thought but the club would have a different view on potential ROI when spending the ~$20k it did on Coughlan - untried draftee vs Jack Dyer medallist.
The club still rates Cass pretty highly for someone who hasn't yet made his debut after 3 years on our list and Cogs' B&F was a whole 5 years ago and he hasn't played a game in 2 years. The club probably thinks with Cogs they had no alternative whereas Cass is still young and his body still developing so like Moore they might think he'll eventually come good.

Yeah, probably right MT.  FWIW I was quite impressed with Casserley in the pre-season game this year and was looking forward to seeing him this year.  He looked like he was someone ready and able to step up and cope.

Andrew Raines is close to returning from his knee injury, a dislocated patella suffered in round two.

"He's coming along well. If there was a VFL game, which there isn't, this weekend he would have been a chance. But obviously with no game, he's likely to be one more week."

Interesting I'm sure they all won't get up but could potential have three strong 'Ins' this week.

Cogs is a contant enigma. Did he play anywhere on the weekend? Why didn't they put him on the long term injury list an elevate someone like Collard or Cartledge? My guess is money but Collard would have benefited greatly from a small stint into the AFL. Look what happened when the TW did a similiar thing with Kingy.

Just wish I had more information about Mark as all this guessing and hoping is starting to become frustrating for all involved.

Good news on Tiger’s injury front
richmondfc.com.au
By Mic Cullen
5:30 PM Tue 22 July, 2008

WILL Thursfield was back last weekend, Matthew Richardson is due back this weekend and Mark Coughlan is going well in the VFL.

Finally, some good-news injury stories out of Punt Rd to counter the bad-news ones of Graham Polak and Kane Pettifer.

And even the Polak story is moving in the right direction.
Thursfield has pulled up well from his first game since the round 11 clash with Adelaide, and fellow hamstring complainant Matthew Richardson (who also added knee troubles into the mix) – is a good chance to be back for this weekend's clash with Brisbane.

"He [Richardson] trained yesterday and he got through that session pretty well, had a bit of a kick around today in what was basically a skills-based session, but he's got through a couple of solid sessions," coach Terry Wallace said on Tuesday.

"He's been out for probably over-and-above the time of a normal hamstring – it'll be nearly four weeks before he'll step back on to the ground, so timing says that he should play.

"But he's got to get through the week."
Following his trip to Germany for treatment, Coughlan is progressing well in his recovery from hamstring issues.

"Mark's back playing footy now, he's played for a couple of weeks and played at senior VFL level on the weekend and got through the game okay.

"He needs to get a continuity of five or six games running, just to find out exactly where he's at, and until you can do that, and until you can trust your body to that degree, you don't know where it takes you.

"Look, he's still a fair way off playing form at the moment, but that can come to hand pretty quick once you start playing regular footy."

Injured tall Polak continues to improve after being struck by a tram last month.

"Graham's slowly coming along. He's spent a little bit of time at home on the weekend. I got a text message from him before the game saying he was able to go home and watch the game on Saturday, and that's another pleasing step.

"I'm not quite sure where some of the media comments come that he was running around kicking a footy, which certainly wasn't the case.

"He's growing and developing in each thing he's been asked to do, and he's able to now do some mechanical exercise and keep himself a little bit fit just from a wellbeing point-of-view, but that's about where it stands."

Let's hope it's not an ACL as that would basically wipe out 2009 for Putty as well. It's not as though we are blessed with a lot of talls and with Polak's future up in the air we can't afford to have any more talls going down.

Putt reported as 4-6 weeks on PRE
Sounds like a PCL
Title: Re: Injury update
Post by: mightytiges on August 07, 2008, 06:47:59 PM
A PCL would be 8-10 weeks out. Putt must have done his medial ligament if it's 4-6 weeks. It ends his season anyway but on the positive side a medial will mean he'll be fine for the start of preseason. If Coburg can gain some consistency and go deep into the finals he may even have a chance to make it back for a VFL PF/GF.
