Ollie Wines “significant” injury

[Bunk Moreland]

Hearing he took an awkward heavy fall and dislocated his shoulder. Could be a shoulder reconstruction.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

BTW, he’s from Echuca, I assume this would be water skiing?

Sad for him if true.

Skiing though? It’s pre-season surely? I’d be surprised if Adelaide was seeing a lot of snow at the moment.

Edit: Ah - water skiing. Gotcha.

 

[Gralin]

You'd think water skiing unless he took the long weekend to go to the snow in Japan

 

[Carl Spackler]

Normally professional sports contracts have "no dangerous activities" clauses. I'm surprised he was water skiing, or anything like that.

Wines must like Skiing and ****

Ah yes, someone gets hurt, must be first to make a joke

He's a big enough player for a main board thread

Water skiing is extremely dangerous... shocking injuries take place, and worse.

Ron James.
Played seniors for Williamstown in the VFA at 14. Played in a VFA flag at 15. Then played 3 seasons for the Bulldogs, but was killed waterskiing at only 19 years of age.

Don't make fun of any player who has an injury ... geez you should know better.

It must shit coaches no end losing players to ridiculous crap like this before the season has even started.

Seriously, your $600k+ a year job depends on your body being in good condition. Maybe don’t ski/waterski/play cricket/play frisbee with dog/jump off pier/slide down a Hong Long street on an esky lid etc and just focus on footy a bit.

Does the AFL sanction water boarding?

Yeah lock yourself in a cage and make sure you have no life outside footy.

Water skiing hey? Sounds sensible.

 

[juss]

Port were already in trouble even with him in. Not looking good.

 

[Obeanie1]

Not what you want to read no matter the player or the team.

But really, water skiing? WTF do any of these kids think before they do sh!t these days!

Que SPP to have a big year.

 

[master bate]

I'd be filthy if I were a Port fan but I probably lean to the side that if you recruit a kid from Echuca you know he's going to go water skiing. Just as a Mansfield kid is going to go snow skiing. Or a kid from Torquay/Margaret River/Gold Coast is going to surf?

Is water skiing more dangerous than surfing? Far less sharks in the Murray!

Shocking news for Wines, hopefully the scans are positive.

I seriously doubt clubs can require players to wrap themselves in cotton wool during their breaks. They're not slaves.

They are fit and active young men who are likely to pursue active pastimes.

Motorboating only
