Not really, if the shoulder is put back correctly without delay and no nerves have been damaged then a return to sport can happen after a few weeks. That's unheard of for a broken bone/fracture though.

I’d rather take the risk of a collarbone which is a usually a 4-6 week injury, than a dislocated shoulder. Which always seems to be a shoulder reco these days.

This is Essendon we're talking about

 

[windyhill]

Whatever the worst case scenario is, it will be that

I’ll go 8-10.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Cal Twomey is running with a dislocated shoulder.

 

[citizen-erased]

Jones and Weideman guaranteed now you would think.

Question is whether we bring in Phillips to 2nd ruck or someone like Voss so Weid can 2nd ruck instead.

Jones, Voss and Weid could be interesting to watch

If we finished bottom and get pick 1 we won’t get pick 2 for Parish.

There’s no actual system, they make it up as they go along.

Picks 1 and 2 wouldn’t “smell right”

They’d find a way to give us something shittier

i dunno. i think the league is over us being garbage. we bring the $$$. they'd love the prospect of the pies, tigers, dons and blues all being up there with blockbuster MCG games 16 times a year.

2 for Parish is no less "smellier" 3 for Frawley.
If we were North, maybe it'd be some garbage 2nd rd pick. but we're not.

We’re back baby!

 

[thebigboy]

Harley Reid era incoming...

 

[MiguelM]

Probably did it signing the new contract!

 

[bennyg12]

Bring String in

If we were Carlton however...

 

[Zach Package]

I take my copium rectally, I’ll have you know

 

[andleanback]

Well we know this will be a shoulder reco. This club

 

[DonsRule]

Cal saying dislocated shoulder so maybe not as bad but not ideas?

Like they did when we finally "qualified" for a priority pick. No first round for you!

This is way worse. Either it’s a Joey daniher situation where you ease him through the year with a bung shoulder and can hardly mark above your head or 4-5 months for a shoulder reco.

5 months is essentially the year for us.

 

[andleanback]

5 months is essentially the year for us.

Yep can’t imagine they’d rush him back to play the last couple rounds if we are down the bottom.

So is it a broken collarbone or a dislocated shoulder?

 

[Lore]

Usually a dislocation would be put back in place and strapped, surgery would be if the damage is more severe and/or the shoulder keeps coming out coz ligaments are loose or something so they’d operate then to clean and stabilise the joint. If it’s his first dislocation then it could just be put back in, ice it for a week and then play strapped until it fully heals.

I’m sure people have played with broken collarbones before too… they’ve certainly played with broken legs, broken fingers and broken ribs. Surgery can pin it back together and then you get on with it even if it does rule him out, 4-6 weeks sounds more reasonable. As long as it’s just a bone fracture and not affecting the joints at either end (the more common one is the AC joint we’ve heard so much about, but that bone is jointed at both ends).

Depends how bad the dislocation is, they don't just send them straight in for a reconstruction if there's no major damage as noted above. It's when it starts slipping out more easily due to stretched ligaments and such that it causes issues. I assume when they say dislocation it's because it was a full dislocation and not a subluxation as well, but might be waiting on scans to confirm that one.

Not really the case anymore. Most shoulder dislocations tend to lead to surgery straight away these days.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

So is it a broken collarbone or a dislocated shoulder?

probably both

 

[Mr Sasquatch]

So is it a broken collarbone or a dislocated shoulder?

It's a brokated shollarbone

 

[crackers65]

Don’t hold your breath on him returning fit and sound. This is Essendon, historically
the club with the worst medical/recovery departments in afl/vfl history.

 

[windyhill]

St.Essendon, we are like St.Kilda but with flags.
