The Association Football AFL thread

Yeah it's a great stadium.

Yep, Melbourne could do with one that size. Only thing it lacks is a second big screen, only having one is ridiculous.

 

[chef]

And carn the Scray. Lets do the double

 

[chef]

Geez. What a third quarter.

If Roughies not right Campbell looks red hot to fill his spot.

 

[chef]

8 goals to zip. Stunning 3rd quarter.

 

[chef]

Woo.

Go Dogs. VFL premiers for the second time in 3 years. What a cracking 24 hours. Theres half a dozen boys who could easily walk into our seniors if needed, our depth is crazy.

Want Hannan on our list next year and Ben Long should be in demand in the draft too.

You Blues! Brought home our 14th flag in style in the end. At least one of my footy teams brought me joy.

The future is very bright for you guys no matter what the result is next weekend. You guys really do remind me of us in 07-08.

Lin Jong BOG 2 weeks after breaking his collar bone.

Jason McCartney and Simon Dalrymple have done an amazing job.

Andy McGrath won the medal for the TAC Cup grand final. Good news for us if the rumours that GWS want to trade for pick 1 to get him are true.

A mate just told me this -

Lin Jong hurt his left shoulder against West Coast. They taped his right shoulder and Casey kept bumping into that one thinking it was the sore one. Great strategy by Dogs.

Yeah i was thinking the wrong shoulder had tape on it watching the game

 

[BluesMan]

Ive broken my clavicle before and took me every bit of 8-10 weeks to get back. 2 weeks is unreal, I couldnt even move my shoulder in the slightest at that stage. Great rehab

 

[Bojan KantKick]

2 weeks for a broken collarbone? That's as bad as Joe Ledley's 'recovery' from a broken leg during the euros......not wanting to piss on the bullies parade but cmon!

He had a plate inserted 2 weeks ago.

Sounds pretty painful. Does having a plate inserted allow you to play straightaway? Or is he sacrificing a lot to play in 1-2 games?

 

[chef]

I guess he wants the chance to play in an AFL grand final. Not sure what the big issue is.

just that I have never heard of someone being able to break their collarbone and play sport, let alone footy, two weeks later. Similar situation with Ledley. Even if he did a minor break then he'd need a month at least.

Can you see why it would raise suspicion?

Sorry mate, im not sure i get why it'd be suspicious. He injured his collar bone, had surgery and came back early. I dont think there's any conspiracy to it.

Those plates, screws and bolts are very strong steel iirc. Like an internal splint really. After it is inserted the bone structure is rather solid, it's just the pain for which you can reduce with an injection. Does depend on where though. Shoulder/arm/torso would be a quicker earliest return time than lower leg or foot.

[Magma]

2 players for wwt had plates in, one their arm and one for a broken collarbone too.

they lost

Where abouts were you sitting, chef?

This was my "restricted" view:

Tell he clown to take his hat off at night and it's a perfect view

So good to have Foot-a-scray in the Grand Final
