Injury Ankle Surgery for Jamie Elliott

[jackcass]

I don’t think we know enough to say if he was mismanaged or not. But it sure is terrrible news. Our most important forward. Gah! I don’t expect to see him playing in the early rounds as others have suggested.

Yeah, surgery will always be the last option as it's not without it's own risks.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Sadly you're correct.

 

[Vicky Park]

Classic Collingwood

Couldn't get the scan done after the season.

Maybe the club did have the scan done st season’s end, and the verdict was to rest the ankle, and try to avoid surgery?

Maybe the club spent some considerable time weighing up what to do with the ankle after the season ended, and opted for rest?

Maybe this, or maybe that, but we have no idea what the medical assessment and advice was. We just know that the ankle has not healed well, and now surgery is needed.

That’s all we know.

Feel like every year we have this same debate about "We can't be sure Collingwood mismanaged him it was probably just bad luck".

Every
Year

Glad it happened now instead of During the Season as we be down the Shitter without Elliot

 

[Bad Horse]

Its the ponies. Always the ponies.

I'll just move over to the Buckley thread now to see how he has caused this

What I know is that there was no reason at all for the club to act coy about the injury earlier today. It's not like there is a game coming up requiring them to mask the injury yet they still put out obnoxious tweets to try and put out spot fires in the media. It's unnecessary and borderline pathological how they try to sell lies.

Why should they give the vultures anything? the only story they are ever interested in is some sensational scandal and if there isn't one they make it up... **** em

So that's who replaced our head doctor... spreading himself a bit thin but lets face it, the guy can do anything

Whether the media are vultures or not, why tell them it's a borderline routine scan, then a couple of hours later declare he needs surgery and 6 weeks rehab? We all knew there was more to this as did the media. Like Degoey's story last preseason, all the cover ups do is make the club look foolish.

Agree I was offline all day. Logged on, read a freebie article on the Hun saying "pies say nothing to see here".

Opened up BF, "Elliott in for surgery."

I don't care about whether he needed surgery off season or the wait & see approach was right or wrong because how could I know?

The bullshit from when it happened to the released statement by CFC is crap. So is the crap diagnosis about when he's able to be "back in full training."

 

[Stoods]

IF the club is telling the truth and he will be in full training by end of Jan, he should be ok by round 1 which is March 24th because thats what a month and a half of training/match sim, but let's face it. He probably wont be full training until mid Feb

 

[swoop42]

Are you taking the piss?

Oh wait.

The bin took that a while back.

Hopefully wasn't away surfing with Thomas when he should have been resting that ankle.

 

[spartan-magpie]

I wonder if our training surface has anything to do with constant injuries.

 

[jmac70]

Next time I need a medical opinion I’m coming here. Worlds best experts!

 

[jmac70]

Did he sprain it pissing in a bin?

He sprained his ankle, not his penis.

 

[regpies]

Our new doctor may as well be Dr Nick Riviera. He would be an improvement.

How many times has this happened now. Rest will fix this. 2mths later, oh it didn’t ok let’s do surgery now so you miss most of pre season.

The other question is why didn’t Jamie tell the club 2wks ago that it wasn’t getting any better.

 

[Black_White]

What?
I read earlier that the club said it was squat and scans were “precautionary”.
Raised the hair on the nape of my neck.
And it appears the bullshite detector that my neck is, has been proved correct.
Elliot not to be seen till 2019.

I appreciate your frustration, but I don’t feel as strongly as some about what the club chooses to make public, and the way they go about it. How and when they make these issues public is less of a concern for me.

My frustration is more about people getting upset over injury management. I cannot see that the club would ever knowingly or deliberately make an injury situation worse.

Being inept or irresponsible in terms of player injury is another matter, and I am still of the view that I don’t know enough to draw this conclusion.

 

[Finnishpie]

Exactly. I’m afraid we might have seen the last days of Jamie leaping thoug, with his back and his dodgy ankles... I know when I did my ankle, it as never the same.

 

[DraftBalta]

Because it's more diplomatic than telling them to go **** themselves

Just make sure you don't use the Collingwood medical staff
