Preview Tom Mitchell out for 2019 with broken leg

[Mofra]

Would be horrible if we had the Brownlow medallist out for an extended period of time.

 

[Virgin Dog]

10 weeks until season starts, unless it's a compound fracture he should be OK for start of season or at least very early?

His fitness base would be very strong already.

Very much depends on the severity of the break.

Look at how long it took Mitch Wallis to return to playing after his leg break (which is on the higher end of severity). And even then, he took at least a year to return to an output comparable to pre-break

 

[Pykie]

Ambulance had to come straight onto the ground.

Trainers had to stabilize his leg.

Players pictured in a huddle following him leaving.

I imagine it's not just a fracture.

Sounds like a 3-6 month job as a minimum.

Yeah, I guess just none of the reports are indicating it was a 'sickening injury' or 'players looked distraught', which is the usual journalistic fanfare that comes from snapped legs.

Hopefully it means it's a little break and he's back soon.

I'm expecting that to be the case given the circumstances, hoping not, but expecting it

The Hawks poster who saw it at training saying he was rolling around in pain and had the green whistle. Not sounding good.

Hmm, is that because the injury was bad, or getting instructions on next training drill?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Yuck. Hopefully that's just ch 7 sensationalist stuff.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Farqing hell, that's our season down the toilet

 

[dcutter]

He played out the game and it wasn't diagnosed until days later. This sounds visceral and not leaving much to the imagination

I think you're referring to the 15' prelim. Hobbled around everywhere. was some effort in fairness, still had an impact too

 

[00Stinger]

Is it a Nathan Brown broken leg? Or a Nat fyfe - technically broken but I'll still play - broken leg?

You would think having an ambulance come onto the field to rush him to hospital would mean more Nathan Brown than Fyfe

Fyfe is a machine.

 

[Milux]

still had 35 touches on the way to hospital

Comment of the year.


Ps. Speedy recovery Titch.

 

[Giant Pete]

Season over apparently - according to Nat Edwards.

 

[Rusty Brookes]

Hawthorn FC twitter reporting mostly likely out for the year. Sounds very nasty

Tom Mitchell with Suspected Broken Leg. How will this Impact Hawthorns Line Up?

How do you think champ?

Certainly looks that way.

Though in general, Players will take more precautions with injury in January than they will in September.

Who laid the tackle?

 

[HawkMongrel]

God fu*king damn it.

 

[DapperJong]

Ouch. Damn...

 

[Socrates2]

Hawthorn just said he's out for the whole year.
