Dammit got in before i noticed.
Could do yep , as long as there is a force sufficient enough for the tendon to avulse the bone ...that is one such example , it doesn't happen everyday but it can happen .....the no news is likely bad news I'm thinking

Hope FIVEaa are wrong.... Bad news if true. Crouch has been so unlucky with injuries!
Agree, bad news if true. If there is a positive angle, it is better than the 12-14 weeks of a broken leg. Also with two weeks of pre-season still to run, it comes down to 4-6 weeks of season proper.
I hope this is premature - FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK

This is a much longer term problem. There is a much bigger issue here. We need to get him right and work out what is wrong. Getting him right long term is much more important than season 2015.
Would prefer we don't follow the same mistake as last year with Crouch. He had next to no preseason due to achilies surgery and then we played him for a half against Geelong and then in a full game against Port where he proceeded to break his leg and miss the next 12 rounds of football.
Feel so damn sorry for him. This is a bloke that mid last year was talking about just wishing to play every game this season after injury interrupted seasons. Really hope we get to eventually see him string a full pre-season + full season together. His potential is enormous.

2 months for Brad....he is cursed...there is a hex that says both cannot play together on the same ground...its because Sando never had that party he said he would.
while i agree it is a concern that he keeps getting injured suffering a broken leg and a fracture in your foot are not common football injuries and more down to just bad luck.
The Crouch injury just pisses me off. Just typical that one of our best young midfielders and one of the ONLY decent picks we've gotten in the last few years happens to be injury prone. I don't usually waste my time getting angry over injuries but I'm fuming. Not at anyone in particular. It's just one of those 'shake your fist at the sky' type moments.
You think we will ever get through a preseason without losing a gun player to injury? Seriously just ******* once would be nice.
Wish people would stop using this terminology. Clearly Brad Crouch has no issues catching a break. That's the whole damned problem!

Don't think I've ever seen a person be injury prone for broken bones before, he could just be very unlucky.

6 bad leg injuries in 5 years is just bad luck? His two breaks - both against port - looked like very minor when they occurred. Seems like he has some real weakness in his legs. Not sure if it is an issue/weakness that is compounded through previous injuries.

Lots of bad luck there really. I think he should get some good luck soon so he won't miss out on our 2016 Premiership.

Had an experimental operation to try and give him one last shot at a career. Unlikely to play until later this year.
