I used to put on a Jabba voice and say "Fa-Solo, ho-ho-ho" to annoy my Collingwood supporting mate during Carlton-Collingwood games. I can't do that any more. :(

Or, you could wait until he kicks a bag against our team when we beat them next year, and you could do it again!

Probably have about the same effect.

Seeing Alex at the club right after the trade went through, wearing the jumper and saying all the right things, I'm sold. Wright out, Fasolo in, could work out nicely.

Won't be calling him Faz though.
 
Welcome Fas. :thumbsu:

Has some serious talent, obviously things haven't gone well the past few years, but a fresh start may be exactly what he needs. Hope he grabs this second chance with both hands.

Adds another layer to our developing forward line. Very keen to see how he goes.
 
Hey guys, just wanna say good luck to Fas and you guys (in all honesty, seeing Carlton in it's current state is just not good for the rivalry or the comp in general). I hope that with a fresh start he can finally clear his head from all the depression he's been having for the past few years and become the player we all hope he can become. Imo, all he needs is to get his head and his body right and I think he'll be a good asset for you guys. I think that he just simply didn't fit the team anymore, with Bucks preferring to go with a more fast forward line with the likes of Stephenson, WHE, De Goey etc. I think he would be well-suited to a taller forwardline like Carlton. Good luck, and hopefully this works out the best for all parties.
 
cocky young cove - "looking forward to playing alongside charlie curnow" - none of this "just want to earn my place in the side" rubbish.....

Anyone in here know much about syndesmosis ?
Apparently it was reason for majority of his absence in 2018.
Is it a lingering condition?

A syndesmosis injury is commonly referred to as a "high ankle sprain", essentially the syndesmosis is connective tissue between the tibia and fibula in the lower leg. It is commonly injured in athletes during rotational force whilst the foot is planted.

They commonly have a longer recovery time compared to normal ankle sprains. If the injury is deemed stable it is approximately a 6ish week injury with monitored weight bearing activity. If it is deemed unstable (meaning the connection between the 2 bones is comprimised) then commonly surgery is undertaken and hence a more tedious recovery and potentially lingering pain or issues.

Ultimately Fas is in an elite program with the best diagnosis, treatment and management available. The issues generally arise in the general public or in more severe cases where bony injury is involved.

Hope that gives a bit of insight to the injury

Thanks
That's very informative.
The main message I gathered from that is that being in a professional environment, and given the length of time since he suffered it, he is unlikely to be overly restricted next season; am I right?

Without knowing the individual extent of his injury I'd guess he should be all good, yes.

He made it back for the last part of the VFL season, kicked 24 from 12 games and was doing well enough by those numbers, so I suspect he is right for day 1.
