I am a doctor and I can tell you that that decision wouldn't have come unilaterally from the surgeon. He or she would have discussed the risks and benefits of a variety of paths, and Fyfe would have made the final decision, which would have been discussed with the club if Fyfe gave his consent to do so.

I'd like a second opinion thanks. ;)

BTW, anyone know what Fyfe's TOG has been? That might have something to do with it.

It didn't work like that at the Saints from the experience I had unless maybe around finals time and it might be worth the punt. My experience come from probably 6 or 7 players I know very well and at least at the saints back in Lyon's and Thomas day the doctor would take the advise off the surgeon and then said to the player that he would miss or play. If it was solely up to players then no one would ever hardly miss for concussion for a start but now many miss because the club so there is no way you are playing.

My guess is in this case if Fyffe had pain they would have xrayed it and the surgeon would have said to the club doctor and the player what the risks are. The club doctor would then make a decision in consultation with the player and the coaches who basically wouldn't have much say at all. If the specialist said the rod must come out before he plays again then the rod would come out no matter what the club doctor or player thought because they are the experts. hat is how it worked under Lyon at the Saints anyway.

All good, admittedly neither Orthopaedics nor Sports Medicine are my speciality.

Is there a bigger downhill skier in the league than Alex Fasolo?

Making a play for Bryce Gibbs' title today!

Probably unfair on Squibbs. Your club has to occasionally be in front for you to be a good frontrunner.

Most disrespectful little shit in the afl.

I actually rate the two of them...
Yes, Bugg may not be the greatest of all time but it's good to see someone with some **** in the AFL.
Viney, wow wee, the blokes hit another level this year and he has the best ticker in the AFL.

I never said i didnt rate them.
Viney is a gun. And i would have loved to see some of their attitude from our players yesterday.

I reckon if the hype about Sam Petrovski Seton is correct then they will want to help him stay in WA. There are plenty saying he's the best talent ever out of WA. That's a big call and possibly all hype but imagine if they had him Hill, Walters and Bennell all in there. They would look as fast as the clappers all of a sudden.

This article is about Mason Cox, and the great story of an American outsider played well in one of the biggest games of the year...

But according to Ashley Browne, the story is really about Travis Cloke losing his spot and facing a downturn in his career and hahaha.

I found it a bit mean-spirited in what should have been a nice positive story to mention or allude to Clokes position at least twice.

ROFL almost all the freo posters think their rebuild will take "max 2 years" and they will def be contending by 2019

I think they made some good choices in the last 2 drafts but no, they are heading over the cliff. It started with McPharlin and Crowley and will continue with Pav, Sandilands, Mundy, Johnson. Some of the mediocre or average would have been covered up by some of the stars they've had but with Fyfe injured long term as well it's going to be a tough year this year and next I think.
