You're right, his right elbow is fricking huge. Hopefully it's just swelling!!

So just the toe?

Or the entire left side of his body has had surgery as well

Brad: "To Jack, our captain ... there were times that we wanted to rest him because of a broken collarbone, cracked ribs or a broken toe."

I hate being that guy... But we should have rested him more.

 

[Donkey Chop]

So I'll just leave this here for anyone who thinks he's not the best captain

I can't even imagine how you play with a broken collarbone.

 

[Devington]

I can't even imagine how you play with a broken collarbone.

Pretty badly to be fair Those would have been the games where he was hunched over 5 minutes in and couldn't bend any lower if he tried. Ripping effort by him to get up game after game, but I do worry about the implications and flow on effects.

Or ribs. That's bloody nuts

Flow on effects? Like not having a soft playing group?

Like him being underdone next year. Or not being able to physically play by 30.

He's been in the wars his whole career. It has to catch up with him eventually.

 

[Donkey Chop]

A BROKEN ******* COLLARBONE!

Yeah I agree with that. The best thing for him is to play forward. He'll still get hurt but he'll have less opportunity to hurt himself.


I honestly don't know how this guy isn't everyone's favourite player. #shinbonner

Yep, I'm all for him playing predominantly forward too. Matches his strengths better and helps our team balance more, especially as we have a lot of small/medium forwards looking for more rotations.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Save jack from jack. Play him forward

 

[darko]

A BROKEN ******* COLLARBONE!

It's just a scratch.

 

[Donkey Chop]

It's just a scratch.

Imagine what he'd play through in a Granny

Or get out of bed at 49 years and 1 month without feeling like a truck ran you over...and thats me everday minus my Afl career

Amputation

 

[Harris 10]

Amazing effort but geez he must have chalky bones.

I'd love to see a list of his career injuries.
