Player Watch #40: Eddie Ford

[giantroo]

Is there vision?
This isn’t a Turner on Tarrant type incident is it?

No vision.

 

[Ligma]

Old mahony probably kicked his foot to ensure he didn’t replace him

Nope.

 

[Heaps of fun]

I can only bear so much.

 

[The Nostradamus]

In a tackle at training.

Do we know who the tackler was?

 

[TheBigHorne]

Do we know who the tackler was?

it was mahony

 

[the flying ham]

In a tackle at training.

Oh ffs. Someone has dropped a mirror onto a black cat surely

 

[giantroo]

Goldy shoring up his position in the team by taking out both a ruckman and a forward. Crafty ol' bugger.

Do we know who the tackler was?

Lmac this time.

 

[Themanbun]

It's a contact sport. The boys were training hard. Ed got injured. Tough luck, but it happens. Hope he recovers well and we see him back soon

 

[shinboner magic]

Lmac this time.

Drew Petrie make a cameo appearance at training

 

[Devington]

Lmac this time.

Is causing training injuries to team mates one of the things the leadership group is responsible for?

Turner has done it (twice?), Petrie, now silver.

The Turner one was crazy because it happened in the last few seconds of the session, Mckay was already out injured and he drove Robbie’s shoulder into the turf

Hurting each other and spoiling each other, the North Melbourne way

 

[ferball]

If they bring it against Carlton on Saturday night I'm all for it.

 

[tazaa]

Do we know how long he’ll be out for.

Curtis has sort of taken his place in the team as well.

It's a syndesmosis injury. Not sure on the exact time frame.

It's a syndesmosis injury. Not sure on the exact time frame.

Could be anywhere from 1 week or up to 4-6 weeks then GR?
Does he need surgery? Darcy Parish hurt himself but is right to go this weekend.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

An injury now for him is so frustrating because I actually think he’s been one of our form players so far this year. Has been excellent in the VFL and shown enough for me in seniors to keep his spot. Like practically all our kids he just needs an extended run at it.

The optimism on display thinking we'll get him back from a complex syndesmosis injury this season. You know who you support yeah

Today a syndesmosis injury. Tomorrow the wound is infected because Turner pissed in it while Fordy was sleeping and a week from now he's got Ross River Virus and a gangrenous foot

North will list him as two weeks away and we'll see him in 2024 for the first time in two years

Only at North is it better to hear news a player is out for 4-6 weeks and not 2 weeks as they’ll be back sooner.
No point explaining it just means a quicker recovery time.

Unless it's "4-8 weeks" for internal bruising, then the club decides that's actually three weeks. Convinced there's a big Wheel of Fortune style setup in our medical area at the club & they just spin it twice whenever someone gets injured

Great pick up though.
Spicer had a 2 week hammy in January and isn’t due back till June.
TT had 8 weeks for internal bruising but was back in 4.

I fully expect Hall to play next week then

Cunners odds on to beat Spicer back

Occasionally the wheel lands on "Have a Senior Game" and the shocked player who was only in there to get a diagnosis quietly mutters that they now feel fine and walks away.

Atu Bosenvulagi, Lachie Young, Max Warren and Will Sierakowski like this

I do believe there's been some concerns about the level of intensity at training? Club trains hard = players get injured = club is incompetent. Can't win
