A fair few repeat offenders are on this forum that are literally 99% negative.According to the story in the Hun today, Walsh said the club has been monitoring Elliotts ankle since the season finished, recommendation from the specialist was rest should allow it to heal. Again, you just seem desperate to find a negative.
In this circumstance they shouldn't have said anything until the scan results came back, which was only a few hours after the story broke. When a popular player has a mishap in a very public training session, you can't pretend like it was all part of the plan as the club tried to do.
The specialist was wrong so let's change specialists.According to the story in the Hun today, Walsh said the club has been monitoring Elliotts ankle since the season finished, recommendation from the specialist was rest should allow it to heal. Again, you just seem desperate to find a negative.
Do you seriously think Collingwood fans hope something will go wrong with a star player so they can point an accusing finger? I would much prefer that nothing goes wrong so that I don't have to think about accusing anyone of anything, and I reckon 99.9% of posters would feel the same.The issue isn't the response, it's that people are sitting back analyzing every syllable looking for flaws, desperate for something to go wrong so they can point an accusing finger. As I say, no matter what they'd said, somebody would take issue with it.

The club should not need the likes of me to make recommendations about specialists. They should have a thorough knowledge of everyone in the business and should be very selective with who they use. The guy who ****ed up with Elliott this time should not be the specialist consulted next time. I can only hope that the club learns from experience and acts accordingly.Specialist would only be making recommendations based on learnings from previous cases, who knows what % cases do/don't respond to rest. It's an in-exact science. Happy for you to contact the club with recommendations though.

??????? Que?With the comment, not the player.

Thanks for that. I have arranged a change of specialists for Jamie and told the current one in no uncertain terms that he is a bumbling fool with zero credibility. He accepted his inadequacies and has agreed to hand Jamie's treatment over to someone more competent and decisive. I will keep you posted on his progress.Well given you were obviously at the consultation and heard word for word what he said in terms of recommended treatment and likely outcomes, I'll defer to your greater knowledge.
No it isn’t.That’s definitely the case for some of the vocal minority.
Even Tony Jones callled out the club yesterday. Why can’t you do it?According to the story in the Hun today, Walsh said the club has been monitoring Elliotts ankle since the season finished, recommendation from the specialist was rest should allow it to heal.

Fair enough, but I don't consider this to be 'slight'.Without the benefit of first hand knowledge or other concrete evidence I wouldn't be throwing the club's medical professionals under a bus.
I share the disappointment about Jamie, but this is simply a case of him not responding well enough to conservative treatment. It is not clear to me how his recovery was mismanaged (perhaps a person with more knowledge that I have can help me understand). Firstly people need to understand that surgery carries risk, and secondly (and most importantly) that it is not always the best option.
Perhaps The Royal Sampler or Gone Critical can help us understand how long after surgery Jamie's ankle joint can be flexed/extended so that we can get a better handle on when he can start low impact work swimming/cycling/rowing etc to regain fitness and of course joint rehab. Running will be the last thing in his program.
On another note, we all know that the club has under-performed in the last few years but it would seem that the slightest issue is now proof of our incompetence.

A key player played largely meaningless, late season games with an issue this serious?
We don’t have to agree with Tony Jones.Even Tony Jones callled out the club yesterday. Why can’t you do it?
So how would you connect that sacking with Elliott's injury?Have we sacked our Physio as part of the recent cleanout? If not they should be next on the chopping block
Tony Jones, you say wow but who are you exactly?Gee, Tony Jones, wow.
By the way, I'm happy to call out the club when I believe they've done something wrong, but giving what has subsequently been shown as a less than accurate comment to a media outlet is hardly cause to rally the lynch mob. By all means don't let that stop you throwing a little tanty though and demand heads to roll.
