Saw DGB up in the stands today. Was on crutches but seemed to be moving around ok and in good spirits.

Great to hear

Not ideal when you're trying to break into the team. Hope there's no real damage

"He's got a bit of a knee injury," Clarkson said.

"Once again, we'll get it scanned. They think that structurally it's sound, but I think he just landed awkwardly and hyperextended it a little bit. Once again, we'll get that scanned and see how it is."

By what reckoning was he "close to an AFL debut"?

Journo's taking a throwaway line from Clarko's presser the other day and making it a story really... gotta make the story spicier somehow!

Such a huge relief reading this

Hearing knee injury and not being able to see any footage of it you instantly worry.

The kid can take as long as he needs to get ready! We are in no rush

 

[Nuggets73]

Any news on the scan??

 

[DannyJ]

Nah we must get standard delivery whilst every other profession sporting organisation gets express.

Me waiting for news on DGB and Day.

 

[TylerDurden]

I love how quick NBA franchises release injury news and results of scans, the way we are in Aus is such 2nd rate.

That's because they can afford their own scanning equipment. AFL clubs can't and have to book it off site.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

I imagine they wouldn't scan until 48 hours after the injury so any swelling is down a bit? If that's the case it would be nice for the club to at least say this today so we can stop refreshing twitter every 5 mins.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Any word as yet?

 

[TheFourPillars]

Any word as yet?

Probably around 5pm today

Probably around 5pm today

Fingers crossed

Will probably come around 5ish today normally when the cub report comes out.

The fact they are not releasing an early and separate piece on it should hopefully means nothing major.

Given our track record on injury reporting this can be anywhere between 1-4 weeks. With 4 weeks = 4 to season

Do actually hope all is ok

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Fingers crossed for him and Day.

You'd like to think so, but this is an AFL club after all.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

This isn’t the NBA board guys. Take it elsewhere.

 

[Siri]

DGB is expected to miss a few weeks with bone bruising.

 

[daniel23]

Good news for Denver not so much for day . Denver likely to be back within a month , no time frame for days return .

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Good news for Denver, hopefully he can break into the side very soon after his return.

 

[TylerDurden]

Great news.
