Injury Update 2025

[Diocletian]

Taking an injury prone player at pick 1 is now looking very dicey…  😬

Add an incompetent fitness staff and it's a perfect storm.

Yeah Jagga wasn’t injury prone but did his knee, total crap shoot.

I would imagine our draftees this year are feeling a bit down.

Hope it all turns around

The Jagga situation is one thing, but Lalor had hamstring issues in his draft year and has now had multiple this year… that is concerning.

I agree Willy. I thought it was coming together a bit better this year but here we are with a very similar situation to last year but with our younger players

yep 100%. To throw smith in that convo is odd. It is not like he had an acl pre draft unlike others who have just had a second

We really need to be looking beyond what Serpell. He is out of his depth IMO.

These guys are still kids and their bodies are still growing and adapting to a higher physical workload than they’ve ever experienced. I’d prefer they get their injuries out of the way early so that they get their bodies right now with a view to playing 12-14 years injury free.

Bingo and thank you

Not what people want to hear (read) but the above is spot on the money

Is there any evidence that you can actually get your injuries out of the way early, like having kids in your late teens as well?

I want them all to do a Dylan Grimes but not aware there's any correlation.
