[Bleeding Tiger]

Sorry to be putting alarm bells through the tiger army. but I was wondering if anyone else read the article in the Herald Sun yesterday mentioning that Tom Lonegan and two Richmond Footballers have the condition......

If anyone has any further information...... please let us know

i did read that, not bloody good at all!
just speculation here but it would not suprise me at all if it was cogs..i mean he was never officially listed on the injury report and the club never put it out there that he had hammy soreness they waited for all of us and the media to go where the &%$@ is cogs?
lets hope whoever it is that its not a serious case.

I'd say it was detected very early and is nothing more than a highly contagious rash. Bit of a none event

I read it, I am thinking maybe Daniel Jackson could have had it, I have heard it can come from open gashes, which Jacko had the last two weeks against Kangas he split his head open and before the Magpies match he split it again, then was named this week but was a late withdrawel without explaination.

Its generally picked up by people in hospitals was my understanding. Brown? Cogs?

Browny played, he couldn't have it.

Cogs would be one candidate though, maybe Cogs and Jacko, or my thought would be Danny Meyer and Jacko.

http://www.healthinsite.gov.au/topics/Golden_Staph

Golden staph (Staphylococcus aureus) is a type of bacterium that can cause a range of mild to severe infections. It is a normal bacteria found in the nose and on the skin of up to 50 percent of all healthy adults and children. Antibiotic-resistant strains of golden staph evolved in the 1970s and have troubled hospitals world-wide with persistent infections in their patients ever since.

There is more info on the website.

My Dad was kept in hospital for over 3 months after getting golden staff in his leg, so I am hoping this is all just a bit of a false alarm
