De Goey going to Germany

[Bomberboyokay]

Really...usually takes me like a week to fully get over the jetlag going that far lol

There’s nothing better for a hamstring than 40+ hours in an airplane.

Hopefully the flight itself doesn't exacerbate the issues.

He probably didn't fly economy with Scotland and his crying kids.

Is this some stem cell treatment injecting into the damage to heal it or something?

Even if he popped his hammy again in the second quarter he will keep playing in a grand final anyway.

 

[dean33]

He will play. Put him in the goal square on one leg. He'll still kick 2-3

He’s one wood is he’s speed off the mark, creating space on his opponent. One on one in the goal square against grimes/vlaustin or McGovern? Don’t think so.

 

[dean33]

Good luck to him-hope it works- finals are more to fun to watch with players like him in them. Dr in Germany fixed Max Rooke’s hammy.

In 2 weeks?

 

[romeohwho]

In 2 weeks?

Haha yep- think he might have spent 2 weeks in Germany then it still took time. But that was back in 2007-maybe the technology is improved!

Chapman with the calves blood injection that is now a banned treatment?

Yes I mean how long did it take to get him back on the park, de gooey has less than 3 weeks. I think they’ll play him as a grand final makes people desperate however I also think he’ll most likely break down again.

Yep it took him a lot more than 3 weeks from memory. De Goey and rooke’s damage might be different levels of seriousness etc.
De Goey is up against it but worth a try -certainly improves the pie’s chances if he plays and we want these dynamic players in the finals.

Yeh, history is the best educator and when it comes to this particular sport, the risk very rarely pays off.

McGovern ribs, Morris back, Millane thumb.

 

[dean33]

McGovern ribs, Morris back, Millane thumb.

All of those are pain management injuries. Soft tissue ones are different.

All night hammy rehab at berghain

See this is the thing, if Pies were to make the GF with let’s say Richmond, I’d still prefer that the likes of Rance and De Goey took stage. Forget for a second that I support the Pies and obviously want De Goey on the park, but for all the neutrals out there, I’m sure they’d want to see Rance and De Goey doing their thing.

I hate to say this, but I believe the teams up against the Pies and Tigers in 2 weeks will be up to their eyeballs with dubious decisions against them. The AFL will do their best to get these 2 sides to play off in the GF.

It embarrasses me to say it, but that’s the reality of this corporation.

I wish for all the contenders to have a fair run with injuries and umpiring from here though.

 

[Rockford]

Does De Goey know that he’s two weeks early for Oktoberfest??

I read "De Goey going to Germany" and assumed, season done, off to Oktoberfest.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Germany, eh? Shades of Max Rooke in 2007. They're mixing up the calf-blood as we speak...

As recommended by foremost sports scientist, Mr S Dank

Would be no different to last year’s GF, the prick stays at FF while McGovern goes up and saves the day. This time around they’ll pay the free kick to Maynard for the block!

 

[Conca Cuddle]

Truly hope he fixes the issue in time, but if not look to Prestiagiacomo and don't risk your team being 1 man down if you're not confident in it holding up

 

[bigfatcorn]

He will still be the most overrated white trash in the league

Ok

 

[Andre the Giant]

Hopefully ASADA follow him there.

So hes De Goeying to Germany?

Yeh, history is the best educator and when it comes to this particular sport, the risk very rarely pays off.

Stevie J in 2011 is the only one that springs to mind.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Does he fly first class? What about the suite option? Does he get that?

Two seriously in-form and strong sides. It wouldn't be an unfair result at this point to see both in the GF. Richmond's late year fixtures have gifted them this chance, but now that they're there there's no doubting they're deserving of their finals spot.

GWS likely making up the numbers particularly if Greene goes on holiday. Brisbane will follow shortly thereafter.

The winner of the Eagles/Cats perhaps the only genuine chance at disturbing the 'dream' grand final at the moment.

eg: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/af...n/news-story/f4d995caacbf987efaa9553f5b8c6efa

There's no doubt the AFL will be rooting for that result. Media will certainly be swooning over it.

But on DeGoey, I wouldn't have thought there was anything in Germany that is that far beyond Australian doctors/facilities that would justify putting a guy on a plane ~ 30hrs each way with an injured hammy?

Silver lining, if they get knocked out he's ready to kickstart his offseason in the beer halls of Munich.

McGovern ribs, Morris back, Millane thumb.

Add How he's Ribs. Lots of players play banged up. We Goey is good enough to take the gamble.

Wikipedia states Dr. guru injection treatments very controversial.
