Longest quad injury recovery in history.

Yep bad habits can spread easily. Martin becomes a Connors and there goes the franchise.

Where has Dan Connors gone? (Herald-Sun)

WHERE HAS DAN CONNORS GONE?

Just like Brad Ottens spend four months on the sidelines due to a two-to-three-week injury, Dan Connors is a perennial on the Richmond injury list with a seemingly minor calf strain.

As it turns out Connors had tendon problems in one calf, then finally returned and had the same issue on the other side.

He would be mighty handy right now with the club's defensive issues.

Captain Chris Newman might seem a lost cause this year with a PCL injury to his knee, but the club is keen to get him back playing in the last round or two.

The reverse could also be argued.

Connors on the comeback trail

By Tony Greenberg
Wed 10 Aug, 2011


Richmond hasn’t given up hope that another of its ‘forgotten’ men - Daniel Connors - can yet salvage something out of a season wrecked by injury.

“Dan’s really frustrated with it, as we all are internally.  It’s the nature of tendon-related injuries . . . notoriously, they’re slow to heal,” Richmond’s Elite Performance Manager Matthew Hornsby told the Roar Vision Medical Room.

“He’s quite good up to 90%, but just seems to struggle at that top end.
“We obviously don’t want to push it and cause a bigger problem, which means we have to be fairly conservative with it and allow it to heal and strengthen.
“But he’s pretty close . . . he had a really good session today, he felt really good.  So, we’re hopeful that he’ll still see some good game time in the next couple of weeks.”
