He's okay. Being extra cautious because it was a reoccurrence. Now about being fit for pre season.

look harder......
Back injuries are tricky at the best of times, let alone when you are an elite athlete in a contact sport. He spent all of last year struggling with it and made it back for one game and is now out for the season again. I don't think it's being toooo chicken little to think that it looks pretty bad for him. The fact that he only made it back for one game is the most concerning part.
Caveat: not a doctor and obvs hope not remotely near the mark.

Sat next to Willo’s player sponsors at a game and they told me his back was being “targeted” during Pies game, fwiw.
Willo will be fine. Still young and worth persisting with.

Nothing on Willo's Twitter.
I think it's moreso his insta. He more or less says footy's a tough game but he'll be back. The tone felt a bit morbid, so imo it backs up that his season is done.

Couldn't imagine him out there in a physical sport without a few weeks for the bone to heal.

Wouldn't surprise me if he spends a few weeks on the sidelines.
Think Dylan Grimes had a similar sort of injury and came back with a face mask.
We've got options. Either Goddard comes into the side or Casboult plays in defense. Helps that McKay should return next week too.

Weiterbots don't die.
If my son …. and I say this knowing some of you will ridicule ... came to me with a broken nose, not only would I correct it (and seek medical attention), I would send him back out.
Some of you may be relieved I am not a Carlton Physician, others will know that I do not tolerate lack of passion.

I've reset my own nose a few times. Breathing isn't great few awhile but you can run it off.
Concussion is probably the bigger risk

I'd rather him not play and they give Goddard some reward, also it will be good for us to see what he has at the top level as it could boost his trade value.

Spot on MC, you just grab the shnoz between your index and middle finger, pull it straight as you pull down and out, then ease it up.
Yank I know broke this poms nose, felt bad about it it so he fixed it that way and the pommy fella could keep on drinking with us.... life in China
Judd busted his, got strapped went back out, played the next week.. its more so the cut than anything. It was a decent gash

None of you have clearly run in to a wall with a hard on and broken your nose first

While I can respect that a typical nose break is a simple fix and then icing the bruising, this was Weiters caving his face in.
He'll have concussion, and may have fractured the frontal bone on his skull, or suffered a Le Fort fracture.

I've had my nose broken 5 times - 3/5 was a simple thing 2/5 was hospital complicated Weitering's looked like a nasty head collision involving nose but...could easy be more.
According to Teague in his presser, Cripps, Mckay & Cunners should all be ok for Sydney.

3 very good ins there..According to Teague in his presser, Cripps, Mckay & Cunners should all be ok for Sydney.
Why? Just a bit of pain, nothing life threatenning. Not like it can get broken worse, or will be affected when running. As long as the swelling is down so he can breath you'd play and if he got a knock on, get it jabbed up. Only issue is Weits does have a bit of a honker. Could get clipped easily.
Marchbank ruled out for season
Caleb Marchbank will miss the remainder of the 2019 season after suffering a neck injury.
You've got to be ******* kidding me
