Last week the numbers were lower on the Tuesday due to soreness and niggles, but a lot of those guys got through ok yesterday.
It’s not just soft tissue though - we seem to be copping all sorts.
Speaking with Gepps yesterday they seemed to be in a similar position, and reckon they may have picked up a couple more yesterday also.
That's annoying then.
So apparently the data from AFL and SANFL clubs is that most soft tissue injuries are happening around week 3 of when that have started playing. We have been pretty lucky at Henley that we have only had a couple of soft tissue injuries. More ankle injuries than soft tissue
It's pretty hard to make a comparison between AFL/SANFL and ammo clubs in general, let alone in a season like this.
We've had a situation where we've had a full pre-season, most played one game and then did no footy specific training for almost 3 months, had another 3 week pre-season which would've concentrated upon skills moreso than fitness .
AFL and SANFL players were given their own specific training routines to either do alone, or with a training partner, when it was allowed.
Add in the wettest season that I can remember in almost 20 years for softer grounds too (and hence your ankle injuries)
