Injury List 2024

[bornadog]

Never been so delighted with a 4-6 week injury. With the bye it takes him conservatively to the Carlton game (possibly the week before against Port).

As good a result as could possibly have been expected.

Thank god it is not an ACL, but 4 to 6 weeks is still a bummer

[BornInDroopSt'54]

In Naughton's absence Lobb must activate his best.

[angelopetraglia]

First 23 players who are injured for next week.

Richards
Naughton
Libba
JJ
Weightman
Baz
Coffield

Medical Room | Round 12

Bulldogs? forward Aaron Naughton will spend an extended period on the sidelines after scans revealed a moderate grade medial ligament injury.

The 24-year-old had his knee caught in a tackle and while avoiding ACL damage, will miss the next 4-6 weeks.

Ed Richards and Anthony Scott will both sit within the concussion protocols, with the pair to be monitored before a return to play guidelines is assessed.

James O?Donnell has turned a corner from his illness and returned to training today.

It is expected the young defender will be available for the Collingwood clash.

Geez there's some rolled gold in that list.

[GVGjr]

Coffield did a minor calf injury the other week.
Minor set back in the scheme of things.

[Bigdog]

What was wrong with Charlie Clarke?

Really hope Ed?s knock was minor and he is right.

Medical Room | Round 13

The Western Bulldogs could welcome back two midfield stars ahead of a Friday night clash against the Lions at Marvel Stadium.

Tom Liberatore and Ed Richards need to get through main training to be deemed available for the fixture, with the pair missing due to concussion.

?Tom has built some great continuity in his training in the last few weeks,? Head of Sports Medicine, Chris Bell said.

?He has progressed as well as we could have hoped and ticked every possible box to declare his availability.?

?If he gets through main training Wednesday like I expect, he will return to availability.?

Richards has progressed well through the post-concussion framework and will be assessed over the next 48-72 hours.

James Harmes is set for a stint on the sidelines after damaging his hamstring in the win over Collingwood.

?Scans have confirmed that James has suffered a low-grade hamstring injury,? Bell said.

?I expect him to miss the next 3-4 weeks of footy.?

While Laith Vandermeer exited the game in the second quarter, the small forward is a chance to face last year?s grand finalists.

?Scans have confirmed a pocket of fluid surrounding his hamstring muscle that is related to a corky that has bled,? Bell said.

This explains his hamstring muscle not working properly.?

?We will work through a process with Laitham this week to restore his hamstring function which will determine his availability.?

Jason Johannisen has suffered a further setback, injuring his calf over the weekend, with his return date set for a fortnight after the bye.
