Crows star breaks both hands

[Power Pete]

CROWS midfielder Brad Symes will be sidelined for eight weeks after having casts placed on both hands in the wake of a training mishap on Friday.

Symes hitched a ride back to the changerooms on the back of a small vehicle when he lost balance as it negotiated a speed hump.

Star?

The only place you'll find big tools are in an Adelaide shed. I wonder who'll wipe his arse now. Hopefully his girlfriend or mum can help him out or maybe Craigy...LOL.

No doubt their supporters will somehow blame it on the fact that Byron flew over from Lincoln and was driving the vehicle at the time.

'Training mishap'?

I can't wait to hear Neil Craig put a positive spin on poor Brad's latest "learning experience".

Symes injures hands after fall from vehicle;

.... The club issued a statement saying Symes was remorseful for the situation and would not put himself in that position’ if he had his time again.

Talk about stating the bleeding obvious

The obsession continues.

Star?

I reckon.

What a shame.

Hahaha.

Oh, i remember now, it's been a long 5 months of no bullshit.
All the memories are coming back.

Up there with Tim May and Glen McGrath stepping on a cricket ball and injuring themselves.

May in 1989 stepped on a ball just before the first test, pulled his hammy,Glen Campbell played as the 4th quick and then Trevor Hohns played the last 5 as the spinner. Both were average bowlers but May gave them their chance. May would have probably played all 6 tests in that historic series where we won back the ashes on English soil for the first time in 55 years.

Mcgrath only 1/2 hour or so before the test at Edgbaston steps on a ball, has to pull out with a crook ankle and we just lose the test by 2 runs after belting the poms in the first test, they get momentum, he plays the next test at Old Traford but isn't right, its a draw, pulls out of the 4th test at Trent Bridge with a bad elbow, and we lose again and the Ashes which we held since 1989.

Oh please God tell me.

You can't drop a nugget like this (excuse the pun) and not tell us.

 

[Power King]

This was a great learning experience for Brad Symes.

Craigey!

Are you still following Funky around?

 

[fryingpan]

Yep, and it seems like you're following me around as well

 

[finbarr]

Hmmmm. Yes. A Port supporter on the Port board. How curiously odd.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Hmmmm. Yes. A Port supporter on the Port board. How curiously odd.

If he offer's you a beer at his local, resist with all your might.

 

[fryingpan]

Hmmmm. Yes. A Port supporter on the Port board. How curiously odd.

A bit odd actually considering your first post in this thread was quoting me. Who woulda thought? You just can't resist can you.

I'll leave you & funky to it

 

[finbarr]

But wait. I didn't quote you. My post simply followed yours. I could've been responding to anyone. But no, it's always about fryingpan, isn't it.

FYI - Symes also happens to be an ex-Port player

and topic was rightly moved to the "General, non-footy talk for Port fans" board

 

[portentous]

If he had his time over again, he'd do things differently.

Ah you gotta love those crows. Talk about deep and meaningful press conferences.

Oh yeah, a thread about an ex-Port player coming to grief in bizarre fashion is much more 'obsessive' than this spectacularly stupid thread - coming out of nowhere on the Crows Board in January 2009 - which claimed we were deliberately tanking after Round 2, 2008.

Now that's obsession.
