2018 Rd 4: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs North Melbourne

[Thryleon]

LP, I'm not a physio but what exactly are Kreuzer's and Murph's injuries?

I had a groin tear and missed a season, could run in a straight line but couldn't move laterally.  Lost pace and power and it took 18 months to improve. 

Murph's injury sounds serious, is it related to an achilles strain?  I can see him missing a lot of football as well.

Murphy has done his plantar fascia in some way.  It's got good and bad points.

The good, it's a tendonitis type injury, and once damaged repairs quickly if surgery is required.

The bad: surgery won't help unless it's snapped.

Robert Harvey snapped his by repeatedly jumping off a chair.  Was back playing within a week.

I watched Murphy warm up in runners recently.  I'd say this has been bothering him for quite some time.
