Injury Jamie Elliott leaves training on crutches

[Stoods]

Lucky. Don't care if he doesn't play until round 1 now.

Nah he needs to play a full game in the JLT imo. I can see him being rested for the Freo game but i expect him to play a full game or at least 3 quarters v Richmond

Loved the humour in this thread. Loved the good news too. I was devastated for a bit there.

A bit more info here. Doesn't sound too serious but fingers crossed!

I'm appreciative of the use of 'mishap' in that headline. Implies a lack of ongoing consquences. Certainly better than 'ankle misalignment' or 'ankle catastrophe'.

Thank God!! Now dear lord how about granting us a great INJURY FREE year......please

 

[Maggie5]

Managed to nick Wells' too from what I hear.

Nah, it was Reid.

 

[Vicky Park]

Still awaiting confirmation on that, Davoren was seen slinking away from the scene though.

I'm always bemused by this. Is 'preventing accidents' one of Davoren's KPIs?

He's a curse.

 

[Robroy22]

Was a frisbee involved in this mishap?

 

[Soaring Magpie]

It's a compound fracture of the ankle, the bone went through his skin and into Ben Reids calf.

But it's only minor the club would tell us!

One to two.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Blame daveron, I heard he was seen ankle tapping Elliott as he ran past.
And then laughed about it!
In all seriousness, best possible outcome and should be right for the Richmond game.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

One to two.

Short to medium term.
We'll just see how he goes

Despite that, since they've been prepared to amend the story to point out that it's only a minor injury, it's interesting that they haven't bothered to alter the headline to something much more appropriate like "Pies' Elliott in the clear after scare at training"!

This Nick Wells bloke related to Daniel Wells? Little brother? Father son? #winning!

Test.

Howe's dog was seen fleeing from the scene

Howe's dog was found in the book depository.

The ankle was seen to move back, and to the left.

Back, and to the left...

Howe's dog was seen fleeing from the scene

Then the dog ran into Sharenberg's knee leaving the scene.

So I hear...

 

[left at home]

what a mess, glad l missed it

 

[DaVe86]

Still over a month until round 1. Hopefully he
is right.

 

[WakeUpPies]

I suggest we all bake cookies in the shape of footballs to appease the injury gods.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Spoilers FFS...

 

[Kappa]

The positive is it's not a soft tissue so Devoran can't rush him back and reinjure it.

Eddie said on radio this morning that the scans were all clear.

He will most likely miss the Freo clash but should be right for the Richmond game.

 

[Bad Horse]

A second woofer!
