Coach Chris Scott and Jeremy Cameron's broken arm incident.

[TigerTime88]

That's a ridiculous take. A broken arm can't get any worse? You don't have a medical background do you?

I'm sure the DOCTOR who sent him back on does so I'll just back that one thanks pal.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

You seem ok with creating unnecessary threads telling consenting adults what they can and can’t do based on an irrational hatred for a football team even after they’ve just had their arse fed to them in a grand final so why can’t he be ok with his own stance

My post was not riduculous at all so I am challenging him on that.

 

[Daka]

Should not have played once it happened, massive negligence by the Cats medical team.

I don't blame Cameron or Scott for that.

Scott wants to win and Cameron would be wanting to play on because he is a warrior.

Doctors used to send concussed players back on until recently.

Yeah it is and the responses to it highlight it.

There are medical professionals employed by each club and the league to make sure players are safe. The night before across the road at AAMI Park Jahrome Hughes guided Melbourne into a grand final with a wrist that was still broken. Shane Webcke played a grand final with a broken arm. Cooper Cronk played a grand final with a broken shoulder. Sam Burgess played one with a fractured cheekbone/eye socket.

You do what it takes and that’s the end of it and you know as well as everyone else in this forum that if a player from another club was in Cameron’s position yesterday you wouldn’t say a word. You have a major problem

So make a thread about the hawthorn doctors from 1989 then if it’s cutting you to pieces es so much.

 

[Freshwater]

At our place with about 16 people we were all saying this could be a WorkSafe issue. He was clearly hampered, a good coach saves the player from himself.

Doctors can get it wrong like the Petracca incident.
Cameron is in hospital at the moment.

That's a stupid unrelated statement. You've got absolutely minimal to no info on how bad it was the risks ect and so you're throwing shade at a medical professional who had all that info and deemed it ok. On top of that Cameron himself would of been told the info and no doubt said to get himself back on. He's decision making wasn't impaired with a broken arm.

You don't seem like the type of person who can listen to a different point of view so I'll leave it at that.

Ok then in that case let’s never listen to them.

‘you have cancer.’
‘no I don’t.’
‘Sorry what?’
‘Christian Petracca got let back on the field incorrectly once. Ergo I don’t have cancer. ‘

Neale shouldn’t have played because it was a risk. The doctor got it wrong because he’s probably sore today

 

[gandaal]

This really needs to be made into a bigger deal. Crazy that a player with an obvious broken arm was left out to play.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Just waiting for you to bump the thread you created for Nat Fyfe playing with a broken fibula for almost an entire match or wondering why it happened in the first place

That said fibula isn’t weight bearing (assuming not near ankle where that can be unstable)

 

[tropicaltiger]

Ii'd like to see the explanation from the medical team.

Steve Hocking will assemble a team of experts and we will all get the results of the incident very soon
and it will be as clear as sewerage mud

 

[Hawthorn United]

Ii'd like to see the explanation from the medical team.

"His vitals look fine. He's not dying. Get him out there"

 

[PetterdHoisted]

You don't have a medical degree (or any university knowledge) for that matter to demand such a request.
You are are a middle aged nobody who feels entitled.

Just move along and try and enjoy the remaining decades of your life.

age-ism has no place in modern Australia

 

[Hawthorn United]

We need to start looking at AFL Club Doctors like Corporate HR. They're not there for the players/employees. They're there for the clubs.

They just mend the player and get them back on the field.

Not sure how I'm entitled . I was a nurse for ten years and have a Bachelor of Health Science so I'm tipping I've got you covered mate.

 

[Rotayjay]

Footy culture lionises players pushing through serious injuries, especially in finals and grand finals.

I can understand why Cameron and Scott wanted him to play on. You're the best forward in your team during a grand final. Of course you'd want to play on - who wouldn't? You can't be expected to act 100% rationally in such circumstances.

Then it's on the doctors to give objective medical advice. If they truly thought he was right to play, there's nothing to see here.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Nah, you are a troll of the highest order who relentlessly posts absurdities and false claims.

Self entitled no body who believes he is above others.

You're wrong. Leave the thread if you're just going to take pot shots.
Another impact injury on that arm could cause nerve damage, ligament and muscle damage and perforation of the skin.

 

[Ralll]

I heard Cameron say this season something along the lines he won't be honest with medico's and will play at all costs.
I assume he was of the same mindset here.

 

[My Tilly]

I was a nurse for ten years and have a Bachelor of Health Science so I'm tipping I've got you covered mate.

So an ATAR of 60? Bar is set fairly low for a valid reason.
And I'm not stupid enough to disclose my profession to a bunch of social media nuffies.

By all means, keep on pumping up your over-inflated ego!

(I'm a nurse mate )

saying that the wellbeing of his players was number 1 priority and he wouldn't hesitate to bring player offif need be. Pretty poor look yesterday.

 

[Toump Ass]

I was appalled

 

[Whit3y]

Surely Worksafe will be investigating this.

 

[demondavey]

Yes I am. Players play through pain all the time...it's broken it can't get any worse.

Concussion a different issue.

It can get a lot worse. Fractured again in a different position due to weakened bone structure, risk of a compound fracture. Could be terrible.
