    Congratulations Trent Cotchin - AFLPA captain of the year

    The list of previous winners is quite impressive. For all those commenting on Tex winning in 2016/2017 - this award is voted on at the end of the H&A season; before the Crows' loss on GF day, before Lever left, before Tex had a poor, injury riddled 2018, and before McGovern decided to leave the...

    McGovern (ADE) officially requests trade

    It is a huge concern the amount of players who have left the AFC in recent years but there have been some factors: Bock went to the Suns on big $. Phil Davis went to the Giants on big $ (over double what he could get at the Crows). Tippet went to Sydney as he was unhappy and for big $. I think...

    McGovern (ADE) officially requests trade

    POWER TO CROWS Brad Symes was drafted by Port in 2003 (pick 30) and traded to the Crows after the 2007 Grand Final loss for pick 28. Matthew Bode (pick 3 pre-season draft 1997) played with Port from 1998-2000 before requesting a trade to the Crows. Ian Downsborough was a wildcard recruit (1 of...

    Should Cotchin and Ellis get off because it is grand final next week?

    I'm really glad the match committee determined that Cotchin and Sloane had no case to answer for. IMO it was the right decision in both cases. I have really admired Cotchin's performances this finals series and the Grand Final would be a worse spectacle if he wasn't there. I was surprised that...

    Injury Sloane appendicitis

    This graph shows recovery from uncomplicated appendicitis. The line we're interested in is the top one (strenuous activity). It shows that about 3-5% of people from this study were able to return to strenuous activity 9 days after surgery. Taken from Kleif, J, Vilandt, J & Gögenur, I 2016...

    Injury Sloane appendicitis

    If the game was played on Saturday night (or Sunday) I'd be more confident. At this stage I wouldn't rule him out but it would be touch and go assuming no complications from the surgery and he recovers well.

    Injury Sloane appendicitis

    From another 2016 article 'Recovery and convalescence after laparoscopic surgery for appendicitis: A longitudinal cohort study' specifically looking at recovery time until resuming normal recreational and occupational activities: The median duration of convalescence (defined as the resumption...

    Injury Sloane appendicitis

    The article goes on to compare different methods of laparoscopic appendectomy and didn't really give specific recovery times. It concluded that: The minimally invasive single incision laparoscopic (SIL) and needlescopic approaches did not improve recovery, nor did the regional anaesthetic...

    Injury Sloane appendicitis

    Just did some research into laparoscopic appendectomy recovery times. A journal article Interventions to optimize recovery after laparoscopic appendectomy: a scoping review from 2017 states: Appendicitis affects one in seven individuals at some point during their lifetime, and usually in late...

    1st Qualifying Final - Adelaide vs GWS - Thursday 7/9 @ 7.20 ACST (The waiting is the hardest part)

    I actually hadn't thought of that (using someones barcode for the prelim). Valid point. I wouldn't do it but I acknowledge that it is a risk for those that don't know me (and I doubt anyone would remember me from when the Club gave BF members tickets to games at Football Park many years ago)...

    1st Qualifying Final - Adelaide vs GWS - Thursday 7/9 @ 7.20 ACST (The waiting is the hardest part)

    Anyone with a member's barcode they aren't using? I want to get 2x concession tickets - one for me (student) and one for mum (pensioner).
