Looks like a fracture for Bailey

Is it just me or does it seem as a team we tend to sustain more foot/ankle injuries than most teams at the moment? Not sure if it is just because of supporter bias or not, but is it some part of their training that is putting more strain and increasing the likelihood of injury?

Last year I would have considered it an age thing, but this year, I dont know

  I'm wondering if the playing surface has anything to do with it, they're all occurring at Commbank.

    Or the training surfaces?
    
    Damage could be done during sessions then during the games it just goes over the edge from aggrivated to full-blown injury
    
    It'd be something an exercise physiologist would be able to narrow down

      Good point, that's probably the more likely scenario. TBH I have no idea it just seems very specific to us and is more than a coincidence.
      
      Watching games at Commbank it's like the grass isn't even secured to the soil like the roots haven't penetrated. The moment someone changes direction or whatever the grass is disturbed.

Very dissapointing if true as Bailey was one of our best every time he has been on the field this season. Hopefully it's not too bad and he can get back and play some consitent footy as the side is better when he is playing. I would go as far as to say he is our best option at wing at the moment outisde of Lomax.

I asked this question before but are our players all wearing the same brand foot?, we seem to have an unusually high number of foot fractures/Injuries.

  potentially HKF, there seems to be too many to be just coincidence, especially because it is across the whole squad, not just certain positions. It could be anything - increased training to get fitness up, new training methods the guys aren't used to. We have to remember that this year we are trying to play with more lateral movement as opposed to the decade of bash the front door down

    The foot injuries started last year with moses and paulo.

Perhaps the club's new footwear sponsor Oxen sport can help us here
