Player Watch #2: Finn 'The Finn-isher' O’Sullivan - broken jaw after GF game - 2-3 weeks out

[GoNorth]

On SEN this morning, King and Cornes have mentioned that they've heard a whisper that FOS might have an injury to his jaw. Tom Morris (I think it was) just said that he's contacted two people to check if that's correct but they haven't heard anything and he is waiting on a third person to get back to him. I hope it's not true.

Texter said FOS is going in for surgery tomorrow on his jaw due to the Hayward hit. The club is fuming.

Let's see, if true, if the AFL does anything about it. It seems the AFL makes a lot of noise about protecting the head, but when three of our players were concussed last year by deliberate actions of opponents, there was no case to answer.

In this case Hayward chose to bump, made late and high contact, which appears to have had a high impact. Should be 3 weeks.

And thus continues the long line of injuries to our most promising youngsters.

if was April 1 would assume this was a bad joke. Pls be nothing serious FoS

 

[itchyscratch]

The fact that it happened early in the game and he didn’t have to come off hopefully means it isn’t horrendously bad.

 

[Possession]

Hayward is a spineless mercenary

[Only Forwards]

So twice in two weeks our player was taken high and with a level of force that 1)drew blood or 2) potentially broke their jaw and yet neither opposition player was cited for it.

Head is sacrosanct…..

 

[GoNorth]

Tom Morris just said on SEN that it wasn't the Hayward bump that caused it.

I was having a great Easter up until now. Cannot believe this…

We can't have anything nice

Weeks.

 

[zoomba23]

Admittedly dodgy footage of the bump doesn't even look high. Did he hit it when he fell?

 

[Passmore]

He's not dead.

Massive loss, 4-6 weeks if surgery on the jaw.

Is it confirmed going in for surgery?

 

[Shinboner Supremacy]

I think his going under the knife today. Shit news

At the least the banner at the top of this thread cheers me up for 1 second whilst the page reloads waiting for updates.

How is it 4-6 weeks players have had jaw surgery and played that week.
