Sorry to have to break it to you. True story as it was told to me.

Anyhoo - Stabby's given it the 'move along folks' so:

You reckon the AFL is terrified of lawsuits coming from Essendon players about doping? How about when players start suing for mismanagement of their injuries?

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-08-26/excat-egan-sues-over-injury

FORMER Geelong player Matthew Egan is suing over the treatment of a foot injury that ended his career in 2007.

Egan filed a writ in the Supreme Court on Tuesday claiming damages and costs for alleged negligent treatment by Geelong doctor Chris Bradshaw and orthopedic surgeon Mark Blackney.
I find it incredibly hard to believe that the doctor/surgeon left Egan with any impression that he could start an aggressive rehab program less than a fortnight after the surgery that he had.

seem to remember Crows players pissing on a patch of Alberton oval turf laid onto Football park playing arena by state legend and football hall of famer Fos Williams, absolutely disgraceful and disrespectful to a football immortal, stay classy Adelaide Crows:rolleyes:

any spectators urinating in public at the footy no matter who they support should be reported, fined and evicted, it's just not acceptable
Yeah that is disgraceful.

Can Crows fans please stop with the Bay 13 posts.

And can Port fans please stop responding to them.

And no more back seat moderating. Please message cmndstab, Allefgib and myself if you have a genuine issue or add it to the feedback thread.

Newcastle, Colorado Rockies.
As for Egan, why now? He retired quite a while ago.
Employed by Geelong as an Asst. Coach would have something to do with it. Could also finally have proof he has been mismanaged.

In the USA, maybe. In Australia it would probably get thrown out. Unless the docs actually did something wrong you have to take some responsibility for your own health and wellbeing.

Can you sue someone from actions of your own doing? That seems a little rough to be honest.
Supposedly the player will always want to play (or so says sando) but does the club have a duty of care to say to the player "enough is enough, time for a rest". There were stages where Porp was so injured he couldn't even protect himself.

My phone just went off because we have some updated injury information. Apparently VB is only 2-3 weeks away now :drunk:

Scrolling down further a lot of clubs seem to have a lot of season ending injuries, but for most clubs this week is the last week of the season so any injury 1 week or longer is season ending.

Then saw Collingwood's injury list :eek::eek::eek::
