[Lefti93]

****.

 

[El_Scorcho]

We just aren't allowed to have any joy at this club. Hopefully he's back quickly.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Getting Polect even more than Polect got Polected

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Is it a navicular?

 

[Rash]

Is it a navicular?

we dont know, but based on the timeframe it seems like it is

club has not put a official injury update out yet.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Its gout.

 

[jac147]

There will possibly be two players - Todd and Tom - on the long-termed injury list. We may be able to at least snag Jack Watkins on the MSD.

getting Watkins would add to our midfield depth

(I think he would jump Mead in the midfield Depth)

and I am sure Butters will enjoy playing in the same footy team as his mate

I think to get a mid season pick, the long term injury has to be ruled as season ending.

Todd's achilles isnt officially season ending yet, but will be near impossible to play this year. Not sure if Tom's injury is season ending.

Can't think of any examples of the AFL refusing an application for Inactive List. So long as the player agrees, you're ok. There's even a process for a player to come off the Inactive List and play again same season.

I believe this is correct. Although I'm not sure about coming off the list and playing again in the same season. But if Marshall agrees, he can be put on LTI list.

I'm not sure about coming off the list and playing again in the same season

Rule 26.5
Bottom line is you need another player to replace them on the inactive list

That would make sense, has it ever been used? Never heard of it happening

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Not to my knowledge but I've never searched to confirm. Also the rules have changed over the years so even if there was something a while ago it could have been under different ones.

 

[Tibbs]

Is it a navicular?

Club has said it is "midfoot," and Goldsack said yesterday that his foot is "flattening." So the combination of those two indicates that it is a Lisfranc injury.

Not good at all!

it wouldnt be lisfrank, because they said 'stress fracture'

 

[Tibbs]

You are misinformed!

"Lisfranc" refers to injuries in the Lisfranc group of bones in the midfoot, and refers not to ONE injury, but to a range of injuries that can occur in that area. So a Lisfranc injury can involve soft tissue damage, ligament tears or strains, and bone fractures or even dislocations.

I suffered a bad Lisfranc injury in my years playing soccer as young fella. It was a real bugger, and would reoccur over the years, causing real pain in the foot arch, making it hard to push off into a run.

Tom has had this on the past too they say, so will see. I can't be dogmatic, but what they describe here fits with Lisfranc.

 

[all seeing eye]

If it needs surgery and pinning then might as well put him in cotton wool for the rest of year. Even with a minor stress fracture , his previous history would suggest 4 plus months with a very graduated return to training. Being a kid, Id just write the year off, needs extended time if he is a chance to get it right for the longer term.

 

[Doctor Feel]

How good is AI

 

[Doctor Feel]

THE RED RIDER

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

At least he’s got something to fall back on when his afl career ends

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Where is Big League - AI?

 

[TeeKray]

THE RED RIDER

RED RATTLER

 

[theouthouse]

Can't wait to hear life is a highway blaring through the PA system after he kicks a goal.
