That’s where he trained last pre season and started the year too, only to be switched forward mid season after poor performances. Until he consistency performs in a role, there will be discussion. Within the club tooCan we put the discussion of DGB and his playing position to bed. He is training in defence. That is where he will lineup
Hard to imagine how this could have come at a worse time for DGB. Our tall defensive stocks are depleted which would have created opportunities and he was coming into a season that was already shaping-up as make-or-break for him. Now he is likely to lose any gains he made during the pre-season while Phillips, Serong and McCabe will be developing his absence. Really bad luck for him.Geez, that really stings. For a guy with such huge knocks on his fitness, it’ll be extremely difficult for him to maintain a strong base, let alone improve on it, with this kind of injury.
Hard to say definitively. Would say that while footy shoes are bad for the feet due to constriction over the long term, to my mind they're less likely to contribute to injuries like turf toe because the shoe is more solid, engineered to provide spring and absorb shock.Can someone with a physiotherapy / biomechanics background ( sven_inc perhaps) tell me if this injury is likely to be related to the tight toed boots footballers have to wear?
From an amateur's perspective, we get a lot of problems with that region from poor footwear.
Happy to be educated. Cheers.

Scrimmers definitely did. Not sure about Frosty?Didn't Scrim and Frost have turf toe last year?
Sounds like a classic case of a 12-14 week strength program to me
Didn't someone do an analysis on all top 10 picks over the last 30 years (not just the Hawks top ten picks) and pick number 6 has a very poor hit rate for all clubs?We have a curse on the No. 36 jumper and a curse on the No. 6 in the draft... Dowler, Thorp and DGB all pick 6's.
