Mine was more like eddie's I could barely move for over a week, wouldn't have played footy for a month. Maybe I'm soft?
If Sloane's didn't burst and they did keyhole surgery could be ok

No problems mate, yeah would be a great effort by Sloaney to get up, given that Betts did it in 12-13 days and from the sound of it was worse, there is some hope. But I won't be planning on seeing him playNot trolling here - I had keyhole 2 yrs ago just before it was going to burst & missed 5 weeks of footy. Obviously this is a much different situation, i was surprised when Eddie lined up for the showdown, i'd be staggered if Sloane was fit enough in 9 days. He will likely be in hospital until Thursday and will be lucky to do much moving before Sat/Sunday

Has anyone had their appendix out? How long were you below 100% for?
Hard to picture him getting tackled by Mumford within 9 days. I once fell asleep on the remote control and needed a week off work.
jesus christ, don't even mention his name at a time like this, what a nightmare that would bePlease please please please don't bring Thommo back. Please Adelaide don't do it. Don't bring in a the lumbering man-arms against one of the fastest teams in the league.
Does anyone know if Eddie Betts had an Open Appendectomy or Laparoscopic Appendectomy,
I heard 3rd/4th hand it was Open Appendectomy,
And will/is/has Rory Sloane undergoing a Laparoscopic Appendectomy
Open appendectomy, a surgeon makes one incision in the lower right side of your abdomen. Your appendix is removed and the wound is closed with stiches. This procedure allows your doctor to clean the abdominal cavity if your appendix has burst
Laparoscopic appendectomy, a surgeon accesses the appendix through a few small incisions in your abdomen. A small, narrow tube called a cannula will then be inserted. The cannula is used to inflate your abdomen with carbon dioxide gas. This gas allows the surgeon to see your appendix more clearly
Laparoscopic appendectomy generally has a shorter recovery time.
Is this an informed opinion?Appendix is no biggie if it doesn't burst. Back on the running track/bike next day I reckon, and avoid doing anything that will blow out the stitches until it's started healing over. Surely he'll play next Thursday, would be half a chance of playing this weekend if it was a Sunday game.
It's the way things work. Mackay was about to be squeezed out.
Clearly it is written by the Football Gods that that is not allowed to happen.
So this pops up.
If Sloane does play, you'd imagine GWS will 'test out' his gut every opportunity
Will need protection from his teammates
It beggars belief that Port didn't seem to target Betts at all the other week

Betts burst his. From the sound of it sloane didnt. The surgery involved (amount of cutting) and the clean up (what comes out is extremely septic, can cause death, and all trace must be removed) is vastly different (from my limited knowledge)From what I recall, Betts was touch and go right up until the day of the game, so I wouldn't be too confident of Sloane being able to get up to play in only 9 days.
Just so you know, some studies have shown that bad things happen at more than the baseline frequency to people who are pessimistic. Which is to say, you may be attracting these negative events to yourself and, more importantly, to the crows! Grrr.and people wonder why I am so negative and doom and gloom.. its cos of crap like this!! unbelievable hey .. the crow curse strikes again!!!!!!!!
No Sloane no crows
He wasn't really. He'd done all the training that week and just had a strong competitive hit out on the Saturday morning. Also, Eddie had a burst appendix. If Sloane's wasn't burst, odds are he'll have the keyhole surgery.From what I recall, Betts was touch and go right up until the day of the game, so I wouldn't be too confident of Sloane being able to get up to play in only 9 days.
