Re: Injury update

No where. Considering he has hasn't played in the last month would make him doubtful.

Is a partially fit/underdone Lake > Tiller?

We have the whole season, so we should play Lake only if fit.

Definately.

The only question would be Lake's ability to make it through the game without hurting himself any more.

Re: Injury update

Have a feeling Everitt will be longer than Williams.
My father went to training today and says he is still in a leg brace.

He mentioned on Saturday that he would be out of it next week.

are we talking the full metal type brace?


it took me a good 16 weeks to be back to playing after doing my mcl late last year.

granted i didn't have the benefit of daily physio and medical attention, and i didn't rush back either. I was running again after about 8 weeks but putting that ligament and the quad muscle under stress by changing direction was a problem for a while.

For a footballer, without surgery i've heard them get back 7-8 weeks for a mcl.

there can also be complications. He's not particularly strong looking in the quads, he may be succeptable to patella dislocation. Being stuck in a brace he may not of been using his quad muscles at all therefore he will get a bit of muscle loss, which is where the above problem occurs.

it will all depend on andrejs powers of healing. I would of thought by now he would be walking and running in straight lines anyway.

Yes the metal above and below the knee with the supportive straps etc. It obviously really inhibited his walking.

Re: Injury update

IIRC we now have the following out injured:

Draft pick #4, 2003

Draft pick #6, 2004

Our first round pick, 2005

Our first round pick, 2006

A fair bit of talent albeit undeveloped on the sidelines there.

Also the scope for this team to be a lot better later in the year.
