Injury Dane Swan

[Saintly Viewed]

Great Shane.
Great player.
Tough.
Resilient.
Funny.
But it's far from over, he'll be back.
He's more resilient than some on these boards.
Gets up off the floor and defeats adversity.
Doesn't panic and go all weak at the knees at the first sign of set backs....
But that's why he is a real winner

This will be the end of Dane Swan, unfortunately.

I really, really hope thats not the case but I find it difficult to believe he has the will/drive/desire (as odd as that sounds) to spend 10-15 weeks in rehab.

Great post.I don't think we've seen the end of him either.

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.

Was thinking that when he injured himself and they said broken foot!

 

[Unknown Identity]

Requires surgery.

3-4 months you'd think at best but we'll never see another great game from him.

What a shitty night.

Especially when he can't do anything at all for the first 6-7 weeks minimum - it's a real shit of a double whammy as each injury really interferes with rehabbing the other.

Swanny out for half a season....we've hardly played without him for the last decade! No wonder we looked rudderless.
If its the end for the great man...we can at least look forward to his humour and positive outlook on life. Now is the time for a young player to step up and take on Swanny's mantle. I'm looking at you Steele!

Broken fibula will heal ok. It's the multiple fractures in the foot that is a bigger concern.

 

[Temploar]

Clearly hasn't been drinking his milk in the off-season.

 

[SteeleBeams]

The agony on his face is hard to watch. Poor Swanny

 

[anshell]

Isn't this-a fracture fibula- the same sort of injury that Greenwood had last year?How long was he out for?

 

[The_Anvil]

Absolutely shattering, especially games like these when Bucks goes **** it, Swanny get in the middle and save us.

Now he has months on end of nothing but rehab, I hope he doesn't fall off the cliff. Would love to see the great man off where he belongs, on the field.

 

[Sea Bird]

This is very selfish I know, but just praying we get to see swanny run round the at least one more time - would hate for a champion to go out that way. When he does hang it up, it should be out where he belongs: in front of a huge crowd at the 'g where he's dominated so many times, and we can thank him one last time

Get well soon champ, and sneak in a few extra eggs tomorrow - you've earned them!

 

[Harlequin]

Really sorry to hear about Swan's injury tonight.

Hope he'll be ok

That's what ultimately ended Craig Boltons career

 

[esc0bar]

This guy is tough as nails. He will be back.

This guy is tough as nails. He will be back.

He can be the midfield coach next year!
Can you imagine Swanny with a clipboard? lol

Injured on March 21st. Returned June 14th.

Levi didn't have fractures in his actual foot to deal with, though...

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

So sad for Swanny . Just been through a fractured tib and fib + foot myself ......plates and screws in ankle and knee (so a degree worse than what I expect Swanny has ) but still - nasty injury regardless.

Classic Swanny that he managed to get a tweet out though.

I really hope that wasn't his last game.

And to make matters worse it's the first time in my career I've had donuts (on the field, I eat real ones all the time).
Classic swanny even after a bad injury, got to love the bloke.

 

[sirlothie]

Called it in the match day thread! Also must have been one of the first outside club officials to know he was off to hospital because they drove him around the back of Allianz Stadium in a golf cart straight past me when I was out there having a ciggie!

Terrible news for Swanny, I thought immediately when I saw it shit that looks like a broken ankle, then they showed the replay on the screen and I saw his leg contort and I thought shit that was well above the ankle! Broken foot as well compounds the issue, this will test him to come back from at 32 unfortunately and I think we may not see him again this season, it's not a fractured leg, he snapped it...

What a shitty night.

He will be getting a steel rod and screws because I reckon he snapped his tibia and perhaps his fibula in half...

Rubbish that's all guess work

 

[100volt1]

This is the WORST possible outcome in terms of the drugs "saga". Swanny's going to lose it now and call it a day.

Mate I was there, I saw it with my own eyes, his leg collapsed, the bottom quarter of his leg went on a 30 degree angle.
