Fev on crutches again

[Fastcrew]

I hope it's not the weight of the shoulders affecting the heel but wouldn't it be better to just give him a 1-2 week break.

 

[Fastcrew]

On the bright side of things Tambling will be brilliant in 2018.

I'm sure it's nothing other than the same precautions that the club took two weeks ago before the Richmond game. You can never be too careful.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

definitely rest him.

It's a long season; feet can be a real bitch when they go wrong (just ask Hirdy); he's a crucial player; and let's face it, you're only playing Essendon

All very valid points (especially the last) we will think on it and let you know our decision Saturday .

Hurley definetly wont play, but they have a bloke called Fletcher who ive heard goes ok.

Fletcher.....

Yea I suppose, if you'd rather Fev kick 8 rather than 7.

 

[Jezza U Beauty]

Let's try not to panic too much at every little thing people.

Fev is fine. An 80% fit Fev is still better than any other FF in the world.

The only real treatment for the heel is to keep his weight off it, so he's obviously doing that at every opportunity. Then give her the old needle on game day and send him out to kick bags and flatten people.

Fev is still in obvious pain with his heel..he started limping after the game saturdya night when high 5ing the crowd

Last night at the player sponsor function he could barely move around the room, and at one stage nearly collapsed and did scream when he knocked it.

With injections he will easily get through game, but i see no point at all in him training.. why persist with him training!!

play him during the first half and at half time if were up by 30+ (big if) then rest him for the 2nd half unless we really need him

We know your an Essenbog supporter stirring up trouble

 

[blue gunslinger]

Missed that - move on or be red carded (or join the Blues)

 

[efcboy]

which foot is it? would be a shame if one of our young defenders accidentally stomped on it...this is the risk...just rest him!

 

[blue gunslinger]

the middle one. Lloyd will be able to see it up close when he is prostrate crying for a free

 

[Cruiser23]

He's just lazy, can't bother walking.

 

[HBF]

Will certainly be something that he carries for most of the season, as it can take up to 3 months for it to mend. If we do happen to get out to an early lead against Essendon this week, we might think about giving him a rest at some stage during the game.

All the mids get a rest during the game, so why not Fevola?

 

[Blues_FC]

i say let him rest this weekend.

with our form at the moment, we don't need him to beat essendon.

seems like unless he actually gets a couple of weeks to stay off his foot, it will be a persistent problem for weeks (hopefully not months) to come.

 

[Bluebear]

A couple of things.
According to Fev post match Saturday:
It only started to get sore towards the end of the game, as opposed to quarter time in the Tiges game. He is on oral pain killers and not injections.

If it isn't getting worse, and gradually improving (assuming it is just bruised) then I have no issue with him playing.....being sore as hell for a few days after, using crutches to maximise the recovery and doing some light training towards the end of the week.

Look at how he played the Lions game. When he needed to he hit the after burners and chased and tackled. His leads are not at fulll steam yet, but this is bringing Cloke and Betts into the game a lot more.

Hopefully in a couple of weeks he'll be back to 100%.

Yeah.....like any of your young defenders would get near enough to him to do it.
Shame Hurley is out. Would have been a decent match up.

 

[blue gunslinger]

Rumour amongst the club has it he has the crutches only when cameras are around and throws them away straight after.

i hope this is the arrogant attitude of the playing group...but i know it won't be.

Z ill save you

Have another think about what you just wrote.
