Injury Update from the club

They should have just listed Merrett as indefinite - that would no doubt appease the fans.

lets be honest…when it comes to injuries the club is full of ■■■■. hooker has done a 6 week hammy…who knows how bad Merrett really is and Joe D has gone from 4 weeks out to dead and buried.

They should list everyone as ‘indefinite’.

If he was cleared for full contact this week I doubt T-Bell has been in a sling for a while.
Plus there are ways around the sling if you’re inventive/keen enough.

A lot of the recovery process is limited by pain management. Something may be structurally sound, but hurt like hell. AFL players push through this pain far earlier than normal patients.

I remember asking my physio about return time for Zacka’s collar bone injury, verdict was he’d be right to play when he did, but it would be immensely painful.

These guys will be pushing hard to get back ASAP, and suffering a bit to do it.

Maybe that explains why he sometimes shirked going in hard. Same will go for JD and Tinkerbell I suppose.

Zak’s would have been right after a couple of jabs.

Oh wait…
