Injuries

[Dave]

Having just busted my hand (again!) on the training track, and realising that most of the bad injuries I've had over the years haven't come in game I got curious as to the experience of the other here who have played the game.

Where have you copped the most injuries, on the track or in a game?

i got most of mine of the field, both footy and cricket

but i got my worst injury at preseason training, i played a game of cricket and then went to train straight after and tore my groin pretty much off the bone

Ouch! Thanks Walshy. Obviously not too many other players out there

Beats tearing the bone off your groin.

injuries, HA

right knee reconstruction
stress fractures in the lower spine
dislocated elbow
fractured and double dislocated right thumb
broken right ankle
dislocated wrist
torn right hammy

all playing footy except the stress fractures in the spine, that was from playing cricket

and I do not regret for one second all my time playing team sports, I have some great friends at the clubs I played for, and special memories from the couple of premierships I was involved with

ROFLMAO!!!! In tears...you're a classic Ripper.


DC, all I can say is OUCH! But I agree, it's a great sport with many terrific people giving of their time.

Isn't that what Mrs Bobbitt did to Mr Bobbit.

I've had injuries both on the track and the game. I sprained both my ankles when I was about 12 and playing netball on concrete.....good move that one. The ankles then helped me develop shin splints in both legs with my left worse off with the possibility of a stress fracture around the corner. I thought I had a stress fracture in my left foot but I was lucky there, i was just putting too much pressure on it when i walked. I've sprained my thumb playing volleyball, my middle finger a dozen times playing basketball (stupid rebounding!!). My little fingers are permanently bent and nobody will give me any indication as to what is actually wrong with them. That's about it, my career is over at the old age of 18 due to my stupid legs that developed through training and playing on hard surfaces.

I never got a run, so the only injury I could have received was getting splinters up my arse!
