The Collingwood injury discussion thread

[princem007]

Was thinking about our trades, delisting and retirements I think we have cleared out the dead wood TBH. Our injury list should be ahelluvah lot less busy touch wood next year.

Trealoar- dodgy hamstrings
Stephenson- heart condition
Phillips - starting to have hammy problems
Reid - always injured
Shaz - dodgy feet and knees
Broomhead - leg issues
Dunn - dodgy knees
Beams - mental and hips
Varcoe - leg and shoulder issues
Langdon - dodgy knee
Appleby - dodgy legs

I think if you look back at our injury problems over last 3-4 years I’m sure there’s not too many weeks where you wouldnt see one of these names on there.

Maybe it wasn’t an injury curse ... just recruited wrong players whos bodies couldn’t cope with demands of AFL football. Harsh or reality?

Staggering how half of those players were kept on for 2020

Don't jinx us!!

Im only half joking when i say, it seems like the last time we had a fully fit and healthy side was about 2010. We can only pray that for once, the injury Gods leave us alone, at long, long, last.

What we would not want is those pure accidental during a game injury

Like Will Kelly who started off a game and showed promise then breaks an arm

[Rd10.1998_11.1#36]

I blame that injury on our rock hard training track

[BazBoy]

Two unfit. Seems weird so few!!!!!

[BazBoy]

We must be boyed by the player availability this season in contrast to years past

With the possible exemption of Tom Langdon other retired players were aging with injuries history

The youth is our future

[BazBoy]

Wow my own thread

My gratitude is boundless ✔️✔️✔️

[The General]

Was there a change of fitness staff over the off season?

[Ronnie McKeowns boots]

That Bianco injury is a concern

[RudeBoy]

This is the healthiest I can ever remember our list being, with Elliott the only senior player out injured.
