That doesn’t surprise me so much, but it is amazing to think he played so well without being able to train. Would he have played for longer or kicked more goals had he been able to? Special footballer, Nick.Didn't Nick Reiwoldt stop training about 4 years before he retired and still managed to play every week and run blokes off their feet?
Even still, it's their choice to play and they know footy will cause injury. You don't get to turn around and sue later on because your knee's sore, like no sh*t. You're telling me a removalist or tiler will have a bad back later in life? Colour me shocked
Special footballer, Nick.
Given the heightened emphasis on duty of care and lawsuits flying about I'm surprised there was nothing (at least that I saw) about Dunkley going back out after dislocating his shoulder on the weekend.
Taken down to the rooms, shoulder put back into place and sent back out without any strapping.
Lo and behold dislocated it again and now to undergo shoulder surgery and out for months.
Remember a few years back a Bulldogs player (Clay Smith) was sent back out with a ruptured ACL, according to to the same doctor (Dr Zimmerman) because he couldn't do any more damage.
Shortly after going back out, Smith collapsed and had to be stretchered off.
Western Bulldogs launched their own investigation after the incident, Zimmerman given the all clear.

So many have the talent but not the application to take that next step. Riewoldt was not one of those.As much as I hated him for his diving - each summer I wanted our KPF's to go and train with him to see just what it takes to become successful in the modern game. A great role model for getting every single bit out of himself through hard work and training....

It’s partly the reason He’s one of the ex players in the media who’s opinion I do pay attention to. He left no stone unturned in his career to get the best out of himself. He knows what he is talking about.
If anything, a better rig to pick up girls with, that’s for sure!Imagine if someone like Stringer worked as hard as Nick did ???

So that explains this from Zantuck. He was absolutely smacked.
Maybe it was Benny Gale’s story and/or car then. Dave Honeybun was a classic bloke - if ever the footy public was deprived of a genuine media superstar who never happened, it was Dave. His post-match interviews, although few and far between, we’re always hilarious. Shame no footy media outlet grabbed him.

Or Jack Darling !!!Imagine if someone like Stringer worked as hard as Nick did ???
My left leg has become incredibly weak after the procedures. For a while I had a droopy foot (it dragged and I didn't have feeling in it) but that improved after multiple surgeries. Still have to do exercises with a Physio every week and my disability support workers every day. Obviously I'm in a much worse position than him, but those epidurals didn't help me the way they are supposed to. It got to the point where the only time I wasn't in pain was while I was in the recovery room still under anesthetic... but even then, once they moved me on the bed, the root nerve pain from kicked in. I actually remember the last time I was pain free... in a recovery room in about 2012. Even though I've had maybe 15 surgeries under general anesthesia since then, that was the only time I wasn't feeling pain.
It's not the second dislocation that causes the need for surgery. If the shoulder pops out again it just confirms that surgery is required. Dunkley needed surgery after the first dislocation - they just didn't know it yet. Sending them back out is basically the test.Given the heightened emphasis on duty of care and lawsuits flying about I'm surprised there was nothing (at least that I saw) about Dunkley going back out after dislocating his shoulder on the weekend.

The part that most surprised me was that he was sent out virtually straight away without any strapping.It's not the second dislocation that causes the need for surgery. If the shoulder pops out again it just confirms that surgery is required. Dunkley needed surgery after the first dislocation - they just didn't know it yet. Sending them back out is basically the test.
Some players dislocate their shoulder, have it popped back in, and go out and finish the game without needing surgery.
Others damage the ligaments too much during the first dislocation - the joint becomes too loose and no amount of rest will heal it.

Or John Daly worked as hard as Tiger Woods did. On his golf, I mean.Imagine if someone like Stringer worked as hard as Nick did ???
I feel really bad for you.
Do you have a pain management plan in place?
I also had series of epidural steroid injections and every time it felt like instant relief.
There was a few at the time, remember hearing rumours he was a bouncer for a club the Carlton crew ran?Ty Zantuck was the guy who Richmond officials told other players not to live with because of his rife drug use, thats why Richmond flicked him
There seems to be a few of these type of cases popping up for the AFL, and a few seem to be lodged by absolute dickhead blokes
