It appears that Goose has another stress frcture of the foot. Not sure it is the same one but it has happened again.

gee no fitness base, will be tough for him. lets pray it isn't too serious

Saints Premiers 2008 · Thu 22 Nov 2007 7:55pm

its going to take him another season or most of it until he gets completely through his issues with his leg...

look at naaaaafan brown...

is it the same foot though???

cause if its not thats just poor luck

If it's the same foot, that's concerning.

Some people can have chronic problems with stress fractures.

Having had a couple myself, they are mainly caused by an increase in training load too quickly for an area that is not adapted to such work.

Normally 6 weeks rest followed by gradual increase in running over 8 weeks until you are at full speed and can do a reasonable amount.

Diet plays an important factor as well.

From my perspective I think in these sort of chronic injuries that the controlled use of otherwise banned substances may be able to aid in the recovery process.

If you or I had this then we'd have access to a much larger range of substances that can encourage quicker healing etc.

It disappoints me that because of supposed drug cheats etc, that AFL sports players arent' afforded the same luxury!

Mind you the AFL is soooooo good at picking up drug cheats I suppose its strict stance in this regard is 100% justified.

Get well Goose,

Lots of Milk for you! (also get on a multivitamin if not already)

Dal_Santos_Gal · Thu 22 Nov 2007 9:02pm

Ah shtye, please lets not start another year of this bad news on injuries...

I don't think the club and the supporters can take much more of it.
Thanks for letting us know plugger.

Damn you Grant Thomas!!!!

Damn you to hell!!!

Armoooo · Post: # 493496Post **Armoooo** » Thu 22 Nov 2007 9:52pm

This is some sort of sick joke right?

If not I would be shattered.... As for having no fitness base I have never had stress fractures (one of the few injuries I've avoided) but could he still swim? because he could increase his aerobic capacity in this time and do situps etc.... weights aswell.... I just hope he doesn't waste his time, we really need him.

St Fidelius · Thu 22 Nov 2007 10:20pm

I've heard that there's another great player out for a while (about another 6 weeks)

about an 8cm tear in his calf muscle.

Should be right though as he has a great fitness base

Swimming is THE recovery from a stress fracture in the leg/foot region.

Just shoot em all its beytond a joke.

We need Gehrig now, as I'd expect Kosi to be playing CHB for the first part of the year.

If we wanna play an extra tall in the forward line then we'll be looking for possibly Gardner (charlie) to step up,

or rotate King/Gardiner (Michael) through forward line.
