I didn't think it was a broken leg...

It's what they're saying on 3aw.

Re: Dempsey - broken leg

Didn't actually see the injury occur, only saw him as he was being taken off the ground.

I was under the impression he'd tweaked his hammy again.

Either way it's bloody shattering news.

Poor bastard is cursed

Broken leg????

How the **** do you break your leg by running?

Triple M are not saying anything and don't seem to think that it's to serious.
I mean he's on crutches but nothing about a broken leg?

Hope you're right. Scott Cummings said they heard a snap. Wonder where he got his info.

Probably when he sat back in his chair.

Re: Dempsey - broken leg

Triple m said that it was his calf that copped a knock and are suspecting a crack in the bone. They also said the Essendon doctors were considering to send Dempsey for Xrays.

Re: Dempsey - broken leg

you get a crack noise when you tear your achilles tendon.

thats my suspicion - terrible injury.

Re: Dempsey - broken leg

Fox Sports think its his calf

Poor Dempsey just cant take a trick

 

[Charliebrow16]

Re: Dempsey - broken leg

Fletcher with a groin, Slattery with a groin and Demsey with a possible cracked fibula bone or something to that effect according to MMM.

I think Slats is alright.

yeah slats is alright, but to add to that laycock was having some issues with his back earlier i think..

quick question to everyone if dempsey cannot play more then 1 or 2 games next year due to injury do we cut our losses and trade/delist him?

if that happens it will be 4 years on the list for barely any games. it would have to be considered

Whatever the injury is, bad luck Dempsey.
This will give another rookie a chance.
But our injuries this season have been:

Re: Dempsey - broken leg

I even heard achilles tendon possibilty..

Re: Dempsey - broken leg

This is becoming a joke.

For all his talent (and he has bucket loads), unless he can get his body right, he is just a wasted spot on our list.

We really need to look at the types of players we draft. Too many injuries to younger players.

Agree totally! We cant afford to keep having Courtney on our list anymore. His body will never get right. Getting injured every 2nd game! He runs & just breaks! Time to cut our losses.

Re: Dempsey - broken leg

If the same happens next year you've got to wonder if he has the body to play AFL football.

He reminds me of Paul Lynch who played for Geelong. He had similar smarts and skills to Mercs, but could never ever stay fit.

A real shame as players like that are what we need in the game- exciting skillful and smart.

No Doubt! I love Coutney's silky skills & his pace but his body is like a match stick. Countless hammy's, stress fractures, now this fractured fibula just from chasing an opponent! After today it could be the end of Courtney.

He didn't look in the pain for it to be a torn achilles.

Fractured fibula would be my guess.

... If we get rid of him another team pick him up and he starts to be consistent and gets 25 touches a game. Glad you aren't on the comittee.. Be patient guys. I promise he is worth waiting for. Just like Gumbie and Neagle.
