If he's having his leg held in place, then he's ****ed for the year.

 

[gokangas]

Will miss the season - that's a decent break.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

How does that happen at training?

 

[giantroo]

 

[GarnerSmash]

Sounds like one of those breaks where he gets pulled down from behind in a tackle, the leg gets caught under the tackler coming through, twist and snap. Probs just above the ankle and if so, could be some ligament and joint damage there too.

Channel Seven, first with the dramatic overhead vision of a bloke who hurt himself at footy training in January

 

[The Warlord]

He was on the magic green whistle, which indicates really really bad break.

 

[Moti]

Should watch the NFL break from last week .... ouch

 

[Shermanator]

Should watch the NFL break from last week .... ouch

Half time or full time?..

 

[gokangas]

Tibia and tibia broken. Ouch.

 

[Waussie]

Tibia and tibia broken. Ouch.

Surgery usually means plates in and months down the track plates out, poor bugger. This is why I don't try predicting stuff, anything can happen.

He could be ****ed permanently.

Terrible for the kid.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Tibia and tibia broken. Ouch.

He broke both legs?

Holy hell.

 

[Snake_Baker]

I'll call it now. He will never reach his 2018 heights again. He probably won't return until he's 27.

 

[Firestarter]

Not the biggest call in history.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Not the biggest call in history.

Not even claimed to be.

 

[Twinkletoes]

It sounded a lot like Nathan Brown’s break when he was playing for Western. Came back, moved to the Tiggers, but never regained that explosiveness. s**t luck for the bloke.

yes it was

Spoiler

I'll call it now. He will never reach his 2018 heights again. He probably won't return until he's 27.

He has a shitload of weapons as a player, but they're all held together by his gut running and occasional explosiveness when extracting. He is in his prime right now and without this would have been expected to stay there for several years. He absolutely won't get back to this form ever again if the injury is as bad as people think. Even if they were two clean breaks he is pretty ****ed, it will take far too long to regain strength in the leg let alone match fitness. Really feel for the bloke, Hawthorn not so much though.

 

[gokangas]

Tibia and tibia broken. Ouch.

You idiot. Tibia and fibula.

 

[Firestarter]

You idiot. Tibia and fibula.

Yeah he said labia minora.

Wait it means what?!

 

[king of the road]

Newspapers/mainstream television need to outrage idiots in order to have relevance

You seem to get outraged by a lot things. Seems to be working.

I'm outraged by criticising ridiculous outrage?

You may as well never have an opinion about anything if that's how you rationalise the world.

I don’t know you, but judging by your posting on here, there are a lot of issues you aggressively push against and post incessantly about - in lots of different threads - sometimes when the issue you are outraged about has no bearing on the thread title.

Also, having an opinion does not necessarily infer outrage.

A heap of McSuns recruits milling around docklands this morning in their club kit. Strangely Bailey Smith in his dogs gear was with them.

Not sure about Smith but can only assume the Gold Coast kids have already had enough and are camping out early for trade week.
