Schulz and Simmo injuries

[mightytiges]

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  . 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  .

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  .

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

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.

[Jackstar]

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

[Rodgerramjet]

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!
