Head of Physiotherapy and Medical Services Damian Raper chats through our injury update ahead of our Round 8 match against Gold Coast at the SCG on Saturday. 

General Overview

We had a couple of incidents of concern from the game over the weekend. In the VFL, Joel Amartey felt some tightness in his calf before the game and we made a decision for him to not play. He will be a test for this weekend.

Nick Blakey had a mild foot sprain which was very low grade. He was strapped and played out the remainder of the game. We are happy with how he has recovered and don't expect any concerns for him for the rest of the week. 

We had to active our medi-sub for Harry Cunningham to come off the field. He had some pain in his hip and abdomen when going into a contest. At the moment we're just working through some tests to determine the diagnosis for that injury and how long Harry may be out for.

Tom Hickey

Tom Hickey is going really well. He is going to be a test for this weekend and hopefully will get through our Thursday session with no concerns. 

Angus Sheldrick 

Angus Sheldrick is now two-weeks post his knee surgery and is just working through some introductory rehabilitation before being reviewed by a specialist.

Paddy McCartin and Logan McDonald 

Both players are progressing as per the AFL concussion guidelines.

Robbie Fox

Robbie Fox is progressing well from his hamstring rehabilitation and will test to train in our Thursday session. He will also need to complete some match play.

Lachlan McAndrew

Lachlan McAndrew will be a test for the weekend. He will need to complete some match play and some sprint work before we determine his return to play.
