Apparently severe enough to immediately have it scanned for fear of a break.

A severely sprained ankle could keep him sidelined for 4-6 weeks, so let's hope it really is much worse than feared and one game is all he misses.
And while I'm linking the afl.com.au website, I'd like to b i t c h about the Hawks-Dockers game being the only match on page one at afl.com.au that did not have a preview posted on Tuesday. (As far as I know, it's still not posted there.)
Telstra - those p e n i s-brained knobs that run both the Hawks and the AFL's websites seem to delight in doing a poor job on anything Hawthorn-related. For example, last week the Hawks membership thermometer took a dip down to 11,000 for four or five days.
My suspicion is that one or two of those p e n i s-brained knobs went home from more than one or two finals in the 80s with tears in their eyes and a soiled nappie after the Hawks spanked their beloved heroes on the paddock at the MCG or Waverley. I suspect that the incompetence they show with anything Hawthorn on a Telstra-run website is the closest they can ever hope to getting even!
Or maybe I'm sitting in a dark room and listening to conspiracy theories echo thru my head from an invisible friend sitting across the room who also complains that I haven't bathed in 37 days.
No...I think it's really the p e n i s-brained knobs at Telstra this time!!!
