Injury Walker - Broken Arm

[zeeCFC]

any word?
Terrible news for Tex

 

[Sin City]

Would rather it was a broken arm than a shoulder injury

 

[BlueSnake]

Well, if that's the case at least it's not his shoulder! Still terrible luck though.

 

[dirk pitt]

His spot will be waiting for him when he gets back, don't you worry.

 

[Ytoojae]

Damn, he was dominating too and looking like the player we drafted years ago.

Hopefully it isn't as bad as his shoulder injuries.

Get well soon Tex.

 

[Chism]

Terrible news after fighting so hard to come back.

It is not much consolation but at least the shoulder is o.k.

 

[Thurlo]

where has it been said its a broken arm?
I really hope it is. Poor bloke

 

[Silvagnis]

Any truth to the rumour that thylacine was seen driving a tractor in the vicinity of the MCG?

PooMonkey can give us an update from his physio...

Sorry for the black humour, but I'd be gutted for Walker if it's another shoulder injury.

 

[zeeCFC]

MMM reported a broken arm but may very well be his shoulder...taken to hospital

 

[Dramoth]

It could be a broken arm... the way he landed suggested a shoulder, but getting rolled the way he was could have broken his upper arm

 

[as0l0]

Terrible / great news. if it were his shoulder...who knows. see you soon Walker.

 

[Ytoojae]

Rats had nothing on his channel 10 interview -- said what has already been said here.

 

[Scared Scotland]

F*ck

 

[FRUMPY]

the fact it was in a swing suggested to me more of a broken bone than shoulder problem. Broken arm probably best outcome, miss 4-5 weeks.

Just reported on AW coller bone.

Just reported on AW coller bone.

I know nothing about medicine but I assume that means no shoulder joint?

Good point... if it was a shoulder, they would have had the arm strapped to the torso to prevent movement in the shoulder.

 

[CUG81]

disaster for him! finally back and playing well.

waite comes in now...hopefully walker comes back in several weeks.

 

[Dramoth]

Just reported on AW coller bone.

collar bone is still 6-8 weeks I think

 

[zeeCFC]

Just as he finally finds his posi...F*CK!!

Lucky Bower and possibly Waite can come back in.

 

[Sin City]

At least a collar bone is not career ending. Thank god.

 

[Thurlo]

I did collarbone and lower arm years ago in a bike crash. Few interesting things.

I got told, lower arm is the fastest bone to recover,
Collarbone is the slowest

Mine kept me off the bike for ages, (4 months) however I did all mine at once and some other stuff

Im pretty sure with the options of putting things like pins in it and the fact that Walker would be on a specific plan for ultimate recovery it would be a rather short stint on the sidelines,1 month sort of thing.

Perhaps/hopefully. Im no medical professional. just me thoughts.

 

[The Coach]

Just reported on AW coller bone.

looked like one to me and the sling was right for such an injury

At least a collar bone is not career ending. Thank god.

 

[gbatman]

small crack would be nice.

Me too, busted a collarbone in a bike crash. Mine needed surgery, cos of where it was, but most of them heal ok by themselves.
If it's a pin or something it'll be quick, but a plate has min 4 months on the collarbone. A pin is fiddly though. Fingers crossed for him
