Hunter Clark injured
Poor guy, another facial fracture at training in match sim (on AFL website).
Orbital bone (just under the eye).
Hopeful it is not too serious and for a speedy recovery.

Re: Hunter Clark injured
Geeez that sucks. Not meaning to be cheeky but he just can’t get a break.
Pbly the single player on the list that would take us up a grade with him if he got close to his potential.
Any idea how long the recovery is?

Re: Hunter Clark injured
On Saints.com that he is undertaking the concussion protocol - the fracture they say is ok.
Monitoring him at present likely 2 weeks

Re: Hunter Clark injured
Makes me now wonder if he may end up having his career shortened if he continues getting head knocks/concussions.
Wouldn’t wish it on anyone , and agree he can’t get a good run

Re: Hunter Clark injured
Tough luck
I always felt that he needs to set his posture and position which protects his head. I felt that he always leans in which exposes his head more during in-close situations.
The club really needs to do some work on this.

Crouch adding aggression to his repertoire?Unfortunate dress rehersal.
Clark is a special player and as fair dinkum as they come. Wish him well.

Re: Hunter Clark injured
Time for Hunter to wear some sort of face mask like I saw the Australian goalkeeper wearing during the recent Asian cup
In red white and black from 73

Re: Hunter Clark injured
Didn't this happen last week (or even the week before)?
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Hunter Clark injured
Took awhile for the club to release an injury update.
The list changes for 2025 have begun, always an interesting time for an avid supporter.

Re: Hunter Clark injured
What else could multiple impact injuries be apart from bad luck or coincidence? Weak bones?

Re: Hunter Clark injured
This one actually does seem like proper bad luck. Not much you can do about a stray elbow.amusingname wrote: ↑Thu 15 Feb 2024 4:15pmWhat else could multiple impact injuries be apart from bad luck or coincidence? Weak bones?

I’ve wondered at times RE some of the other head injuries if technique plays a part e.g. is he protecting himself well enough. Not suggesting… just wondering

You all know the person who has been in 5+ car crashes, none of them their fault. It's always another driver.
Sometimes just doing what's lawful and written isn't enough, you need an instinct for avoiding trouble.

Re: Hunter Clark injured
The Mackay one is nothing to do with technique, he broke his nose in a head clash with butler which could have been from leading with the head but this weeks is a stray elbow, can’t see how that is a technique issue.NickyDal wrote: ↑Thu 15 Feb 2024 5:02pmHave you ever thought it may be a technique problem?amusingname wrote: ↑Thu 15 Feb 2024 4:15pmWhat else could multiple impact injuries be apart from bad luck or coincidence?
