Injury Dane Swan

[1892]

300 games looks ages off now, would need another 2 seasons. Not the most important thing, but he's one of my all times favourites and it would be a great and fitting milestone.

Broken foot and leg. His career is over. Only last week he was he's 50/50 on playing next year. I can't see the great man going through an extended period out and the other stuff that comes with it. Hope not, But has enough credits in the bank to walk away.


You've been awesome swanny. Hope it's not the last of you.

Swanny will be out for only 4-6 weeks. At worst his injury will be 8 weeks but he is tough and durable. Will be back in no time

Broken fibula and foot apparently. That's more than 10 weeks.

And he walked down the race to the rooms unassisted after breaking his leg and foot??? The man is tough!

 

[Magpie Girl]

Are we in the best 8 teams in the competition MG? Do you really believe that?

For Gods sake kappa it's round one!

Close to career over for Swan

Reported as broken leg and broken foot,

3-4 months best case scenario you would think at this point, then months to get back his touch and fitness.

Tragic for Swanny, I doubt he'll go on next year

So now he's out for most of the season?It's amazing how many medical experts there are on this board.

He broke his leg and foot you muppet

Even when he does get back in a few months it takes a long time to get form and fitness back from such a significant injury

Well since my last favourite in Buckley retired and became coach, can Eddie organize a succession plan for Swanny, since he is my idol now, and clearly we have made a habit of hiring past Brownlow medal winners? Just a thought and such

F.Y.I. Magpie Girl Swanny does the humour around here!

Not even Jack Bower is that tough!

It doesn't warrant a serious answer.
Anything is possible!

Well fingers crossed he goes again next year

Really sorry to hear of swannie's injury, Awful to happen in round 1, one of the opposition players I enjoy watching.

I do not intend any condescension, but your cynicism is actually hilarious, and is improving my night, so thank you. You remind me of a bloke I went to high school with, the type that keeps you laughing when you are utterly pissed off, but keeps that dark and sinister feeling deep inside, when you want to see every Sydney and visiting opposition supporter trolling this board, suddenly spontaneously combust.

And the injury curse continues.

**** I hate footy.

Condescension can be quite hard to pull off with the grammar ability of a 10 year old.

Yes,but how can you possibly state he's going to be out for three to four months when you don't even know the extent of his injuries?Channel 7 said he's looking at 8 to ten weeks out,not three to four months.You've just plucked out the worst possible case scenario as you always seem to do in these unfortunate circumstances.

 

[ThexderX]

Hate to say there is a Good Chance that was the Last Time we seen him in the Black and White

Agree..,sad end to a champ.

At best he'll be back for a farewell game and Swanny doesn't strike me as the sentimental type....he'll be off snorting coke in the Bahamas by mid June

Well I only included the word as a formality. You keep sticking it up them, and I will keep clicking "like"

 

[Mkcaptain]

I'm more shattered about this than the result

 

[Komrade_Tiger]

If he does decide to hang up the boots. Hopefully he's able to play one last game as a send off, never want to see a guy who's played a career like his end on a note like that. Always terrible to see players get hurt, especially one as big a "character" as Swanny

 

[Kappa]

Buckley just confirmed, broken leg and multiple fractures in the foot.

Edit* Will be having surgery.
