Part of the problem is that injuries to players are poorly communicated to the supporters.  I don't think that is the medico's fault.  Th club needs to be more truthful when it talks about injuries or we become disillusioned.  Why the secrecy?  If they are going to miss 6 weeks, they are going to miss 6 weeks. By telling us it's a 2 week injury and then extending it twice over doesn't help anyone.  It is still a 6 week injury.......

I have sympathy in that regard because there are plenty of times where full disclosure of an injury will provide an opponent with knowledge of an advantage.

Some injuries and processes to treat injuries will have a significant effect on the overall physiology of a player and if an opponent was equipped with the knowledge they would be in a position to exploit that player.

Richmond ruckman Ivan Maric will miss the start of the 2014 season after undergoing surgery on an injured ankle today.

Maric is expected to miss the next 6-8 weeks after having bone spurs removed, with surgery the preferred option for the Club’s medical staff.

“It’s good to get that done now, and start moving into his rehab phase, and hopefully get him back on track soon,” said Richmond’s Elite Performance Manager, Peter Burge.
