Injury update 2009

[Chuck17]

Give them a week off.

Spot on. Give both Axel and Kel as long as they need to get 100% right. Axel has been carrying an ankle all year and Kel's shoulder has been stuffed since the Brisbane game. No point risking them. Not in our interests to.

Yep put JON in for Axel

Notice that the Blues only really have one bad injury and that is Waite, bearing in mind that they never had Warnock in the first place. We have had a large number of rather bad long term injuries this year including the retirement of Johnson through injury. I believe we have better cattle than the Blues and that will come to fruition next year.

Axel's "assess" sounds like we've put him in cotton wool.

The Blues have much better senior players in their prime - Judd, Fev, Waite, Simpson, Betts, etc - which we don't have thanks to the age gap in the middle of our list. Kreuzer, Gibbs, Murphy are top quality youngsters and potential future A-graders while the likes of Griggs, Bower and Jamieson are underrated. The problem with the Blues is the gap between their top 6 or so and their bottom 6 is in their 22 is huge. Sadly they'll be better than us for the next 2-3 years  until our list starts to mature.

Injury list at July 27, 2009:

Kelvin Moore (calf) Available
Troy Simmonds (groin) Available
Andrew Collins (hip) Test
Matthew Richardson (hamstring tendon) Test
Jarrod Silvester (knee) Test
Nathan Foley (ankle/achilles) Assess
Kayne Pettifer (knee fracture) Season



Richmond skipper Chris Newman has emerged as a likely starter for next Sunday’s Round 18 clash with Melbourne after finishing last Sunday’s match against Essendon on the interchange bench with a knock to the knee.
 
The Tigers also have Troy Simmonds (groin) and Kelvin Moore (calf) available for selection after overcoming their injuries, while Andrew Collins will face a fitness test later in the week to determine whether he has recovered from a hip complaint.
 
Matthew Richardson is on track to return to the park this weekend following his continuing rehabilitation from a serious hamstring tendon injury, but a decision on whether he plays at Richmond or Coburg is not likely until later in the week.

Andrew Collins (hip) Assess

Shame about Collo. We might as well put him in cotton wool and get him right for preseason training. He's played 10 games too so he's missed out on a rising star nomination (not that it matters if he becomes a good player for us anyway).

Concussed Cuz a chance to return
richmondfc.com.au
By Jennifer Witham 11:48 PM Sat 22 August, 2009

RICHMOND is optimistic Brownlow medallist Ben Cousins will recover from the concussion he sustained against Hawthorn in time to travel to Perth next week to meet his former side West Coast.

Cousins received a heavy knock from Hawthorn forward Lance Franklin late in the third quarter of Saturday night's game.

He left the field aided by trainers, and sat out the final term after receiving treatment in the rooms.

Caretaker coach Jade Rawlings said Cousins remained a chance to make his second trip back to Subiaco, but would be assessed further during the week.

"It's hard to say, but the feedback I had just before I walked in was he will be fine, but we'll make those calls on Monday and Tuesday," Rawlings said after the game.

"He looked a bit groggy still after the game, but he sat through the meeting and seemed to be engaging reasonably well. I haven't had a full debrief on him yet.

"It was a pretty big hit and he looked like he was pretty keen to stay on, but with the way he walked, he was heading in a totally different direction to where the interchange bench was, which suggested he was in a bad way.

"The way he walked off, he walked in a completely different direction to the interchange bench, which suggested he was in a pretty bad way, but there was a no-risk policy of even considering putting him back on in the last quarter.

"The feedback I got when he walked in is that he will be fine (to play on Friday night), but we will work that out."

Rawlings is also expecting Daniel Jackson (ankle) and Shane Edwards (eye) to be available, but is unsure about Will Thursfield (shoulder) or Chris Newman (knee).

"Newman has a minor knee and we're not sure what the outcome will be for next week, but Jackson said he was fine," he said.

"[Thursfield] was an AC joint, we think, and I'm not sure if it's going to be operable yet."

Poor Thursty cops another shocker of an injury  . You could see the shoulder was out as soon as the collision happened .

How bad is Thursty does anyone know? Will he, Connors, Cotchin, Foley and Collins be right to start the pre-season??

Lets hope no one gets injured in the last game for God's sake..
