Player Watch #4: Aidan Corr

[Sillygit]

This is a weird, and really dumb, hill to die on.

 

[Ligma]

How is it not respectful? That I think it could have been something else given the lack of information by the club and zero interest by the media to ask any questions about it? Given clubs usually make a statement when something is of a private matter and our club hasn't, then why should we assume it is or should be treated any differently?

Whatever the injury it doesn't really matter, an injury is an injury be it a broken bone, a ligament, bacteria or whatever. The only thing i care about is how long someone is out for and when they are available to play next. I just don't want us to be incompetent in player management, because he got injured in round 1, we put him back on the park, then played him again the week after and he has been down ever since.

Injuries and the recovery process is generally a public interest thing. We put out a video on a two game player who did his first treadmill run post ACL recovery. We have interviewed/had videos of players in hospital before. Dealing with injuries is part of the game.

It should be of public interest to supporters what kind of bacteria knocked Corr around so badly and what, if any, risks there are for other players, how we manage the health and safety of our players. Our supporters should have genuine concerns about our player management, we are top of the ladder for games missed and we have been on top of the ladder for a number of years. We are either the unluckiest club in history of the game or we are doing things badly and it is hard to assess how badly we handle things when we don't know if we are managing player injuries as well as other clubs or not.

The reason we have got to the point we are because it has been a running joke for years when it comes to what our club says about our players injuries, and how long it will take to recover, and the actual results. But, it is not a laughing matter for players who have their career killed off due to their inability to stay on the park. What players suffer from and how they are managed matters a lot in this sport.

Everyone here literally cares, don’t make it out like you’re the only one who wants to know, I’m sure nearly everyone here does. But the one thing they don’t to is just continuously ramble on about it.

Everyone has literally acknowledged that our medical staff hasn’t been one of the greatest and it wouldn’t surprise me if we had a review on it.

Literally we have had a freaking injury update today, that confirms he is tracking well and recovering. It’s best to end it here.

The truth is Aidan Corr was working as Dan Andrews' bodyguard. The "woke brigade" that have clamped onto the club rent out all our players to green/left politicians like this.

Aidan was at Lindsay Fox's house when Andrews was busted raping one of Lindsay's prize chihuahuas. Aidan was actually killed in the shootout with Fox's people.

Any "Aidan Corr" you see on North vids is a clone.

Brilliant.

The latest instalment of “The Clone’s Progress”:-

“Aidan Corr has taken a large step forward in his recovery from a toe infection, entering into an over ground running program as he looks to return to the field.

After picking the infection up following the Round 2 clash with Gold Coast, getting rid of it proved to be troublesome for the defender, however he looks to be well on the mend.

Rawlings says the club has always taken a health mentality while rehabilitating Corr from the issue.

“The infection is clearing up really well. From a health point of view that’s a really good sign,” he said.

“We’re just starting to progress him to running over the ground at the moment. He completed a running session yesterday at training and seems to have pulled up really well from that.

“It’ll just be a gradual progression given how much he’s missed, but from a health and movement point of view he’s ticking a few boxes which is really good.””

Yet you feel it is important enough to make a post about me. What a peanut.

That's how crucial I think the topic of avoiding your posts is, yes.

That isn't the perception I see from responses.

Everyone has literally acknowledged that our medical staff hasn’t been one of the greatest and it wouldn’t surprise me if we had a review on it.

We've already reviewed it and replaced people, perhaps we need to review the people doing the reviewing and making decisions?

I only take posting advice from moderators or Chief. If you don't like my posts, ignore them or put me on ignore.

Or you can be a bitter campaigner like Heaps of fun and make posts about me while claiming you don't read my posts.

LMFAO or I can just be a mature adult and move on? I suggested a good resolution and you declined.

Have a great evening

I log in to see five unread pages on this thread and frantically scroll through them all thinking something really bad has happened...

Very interesting read the last few pages...

yeah it has, the treating practitioners, the club and aiden himself have all taken no notice of the collective medical expertise of this board

Unbelievable when you consider the amount of infectious disease specialists we have, comfortably the highest ratio of doctor per capita of any club

I don't know how people live up north, it is like landing on a foreign planet, that wants to kill you.

A bit like clicking on this thread.

The last few pages have had that effect on my brain cells.

Golden staph is resistant or uncommonly immune to methicillin based remedies, which is most of the modern bacterial treatments we have. But, we found a recipe from a 1,000 year old Anglo Saxon book of medical remedies on how to kill golde staph. When they tested it in a lab it killed about 90% of the staph in lab conditions, so there was a significant amount of bacteria used in the trials. A bit of bovine bile salts (usually used to treat people who have had their gall bladder removed), some garlic, leek, organic vintage wine and some copper. Don't even need sterile ingredients as the concoction kills any bacteria in the process.

Masks, social distancing and lockdowns are I believe the only cure for Golden Staph, in saying that not the worse name for a restaurant

 

[Hazey1977]

It really wouldn't. Serious long lasting infections happen all the time. Less so to people with access to instant and high quality healthcare, but it still happens.

Depends what organism is causing the infection. The Infectious Dx scientist in me was dreaming of some strange sort of Actinomyces/Nocardia/weird fungus only found in the hot tub of elite sorting environments.....

But you're probably right, it's highly likely it's just Staph.

Once I got an infected hair follicle next to a coral cut in Fiji and I am was like you beauty, this will be great!!! Get back home to the lab, excise the core of the cyst/abscess and just grew a boring old Staph.

Still took months to get rid of fully as it tracked up my lymph with 3 weeks of antibacterial showers/hot washing sheets everyday.

EDIT - just made the journey from your reply to my original post.... Geez, that escalated quickly!"

For the infection theory, a course of antibiotics is 7-14 days, lets say it is the full 14 days because it didn't work...

He got injured round 1, he played round 2 but missed after that. He was diagnosed with turf toe, which is like a sprain. You typically can't get an infection from a sprain because it required an open wound, a lot of people have some really funky forms of bacteria in their groin region, under their arm, etc. These can live their for a long period of time, only become problematic when the skin breaks. Club said he got the infection from cracked skin on his foot and is not related to the toe. So the toe is off the hook.

Was first reported by the club on April 1st that he has an infection, club said it was healing well on 1st of April.
Club reported on 18th May that new medication that the first treatment wasn't working. So with anything that has become resistant they would have gone to one of the heavy-hitting antibacterial treatments, depending on which bacteria he allegedly has.

This sh*t either works or it doesn't, there is no point being on it for 3 months, if it isn't done in two weeks you are never going to treat it with what you are giving them.

For it to be almost the end of June and no complete recovery is bullshit. After this period of time he would probably be in hospital, if not missing a leg by now.

The club is more than likely lying to us and the AFL would know about it. They still have him down as a toe injury and we can write that off as some early piece of bullshit.

Wow. Not sure how you can jump to that (and other conclusions in this thread). Unless you are the world's leading infectious diseases expert, you are like me, not in a position to indulge in rather dubious speculation.

 

[Horace]

That sounds equally as dodgy, they first claimed that it was an infection related to his hip surgery. Infections happen due to surgery, it is called malpractice because the theatre is meant to be sterile, the instruments sterile and they sterilise the area around where they operate. If it was a procedure at a public hospital I wouldn't be surprised, they stuffed up my mum's broken arm so badly she had to have a second surgery and the doctor had to apologise for the hatchet job done the first time, as the screws came out and she needed a bone graft from her hip to fix it.

I get it, they are understaffed, overworked. Mistakes happen. But, not at a high-end private practice. I am guessing the doctor involved didn't want his reputation ruined by some bullshit so they ended up dropping that hip surgery infection narrative and went for a mystery infection from a possible blister on his foot. Although, they didn't really explain how the bacteria went from his foot into an open wound on his hip.

I think it would be newsworthy if there was some foot-based bacteria going around football circles that was extremely resistant to modern antibiotics. Seems odd that this hasn't been covered in the media. Again, nobody has asked Essendon which bacteria it is. Nobody curious? Just "general bacteria" or "mystery bacteria". People must be as dumb as they think they are.

Really?

Take a look at him. I wouldn't want to be as unwell as he looks.

I don't want to be a dick Horace, but 3/4 of what happens on here is speculation of one variety or another. I'm pretty sure I understand his gripes, and while I don't feel as strongly about them I also don't see any harm in what he's saying. The topic is arguably a bit more sensitive than most, yes, but I think a lot of us would indeed prefer if there had been more communication regarding this long running injury/illness saga.

Personally I think clubs lie, to varying degrees, all the time to the public. I don't think it is the case right now, but I'd bet hard money that at some stage or another the club has lied to us about a player's injury. Whether that be how it (or a setback) was suffered, the severity of it, or even just outright fabricating an injury to cover for something else.

At the end of the day, all we can ask for is the club's best estimate on when a player will be back. We don't need the nitty gritty.

So you met Aiden at Tender Touch??

 

[hilly]

Not true. As a member and therefore the person paying Corr's wages I have a right to know. If the club can ring me up and disturb me from a nap I should be able to ring up the club and be patched directly through to Corr. Even those that were on corona centrelink had to search for jobs...what's Corr doing? Sitting at home watching season 2 of Black Summer on Netflix and looking at Amazon Prime deals on our dime.

Lucky Saunder isn't still there. RIP Corr.
