Corkies are nothing to be worried about aren't they?

So, in other words?

Exact location of Sammy Mitchell is required.

They hurt like **** at the time and might linger for 4 or 5 days if they are bad but it's basically just an internal bruise (from my limited knowledge) so nothing to worry about

Knowing the clubs reporting on injures his corkie might soon need surgery and suddenly he's out for an indefinite period.

It's when he doesn't train for a couple of weeks and the club is dead silent that you start to worry.

They can bleed for a couple of weeks though, but no player should miss more than 2-3 weeks at worst. The bigger the thigh, the potentially bigger the cork. MOST are back within a week.

No big deal... He'll be flying by round 1.

Fyfe v Dangerfield should be another ripper match up.

Corkies have the potential to turn into compartment syndrome. That can be pretty bad. I can't recall an AFL player having that happening, though.
