Injury Updates (Part 1002)

Perhaps some of the posts on here did psychosocial harm.

Are we the most injury cursed club in history?

We aren’t even on the receiving end of reoccuring endless soft tissues any more. It’s now transformed into stress fractures and impact injuries.

I’ve never seen anything close to our strongest side take the field in 20 years. Ever. Let that sink in. Hawthorn select a side resembling their best every week.

It’s pure EFC curse. We’ll never improve unitl our best players play and our young guys build chemistry with one another. 3 or 4 forced changes every week is just nonsense…

Injuries are just one of our curses.

I think it goes along with having a young and inexperienced list.

We had a really good injury run in 2017.

Mrs reckons she heard on radio last night May is going in for surgery, anyone hear this?

Last week I heard he was having ā€œa surgical consultationā€ so very possible.

Archie May - Shoulder - SEASON!!! :slightly_frowning_face:

good to see so many only a week away, might make selection hard for Solomon.

Really looking forward to seeing Angus Clarke back in action. Was expecting him to play before the bye but they’ve clearly held him back. Assuming he’s back in full training now?

Burgess left Juve just quietly

It’s gonna take at least two years of this fitness regime with Innes and Regan to get our players to the appropriate conditioning required.

Think with Innes when he was at the Eagles, in his second year there they didn’t have as many muscular injuries.

Fake article.

Any Essendon supporter knows that there is no such thing as an unusual setback at Essendon.

3 ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  dislocated shoulders this season.

You usually wouldn’t expect to have more than 1 in a season.

A huge majority of our injuries have been impact injuries as opposed to soft tissue. Really quite unlucky
