Whelan's Injury?

[Bartram_Class]

Any idea on how severe?

Would be devastating if he couldn't play next week and get the swansong he deserves.

Just sit him on the bench and give him the last 5 minutes of the game if need be. Get the 45 out there.

The word was he was stuffed (I see he even got the Fan Footy tombstone - the most underrated icon in sports) but he walked back onto the ground afterwards and there was no big fuss.

Bailey said it was back related hamstring in the press conference. Agree that who gives a shit how rooted he is, I want him to play next week.

 

[Dez!]

Doc Larkins thinks he's gone.

It'd be great if he was able to get up but I doubt it, just get him on the field after the game with the 45 in hand and chair the man off with Robbo and Wheatley if he plays.

Was it better or worse than Adam Simpson's injury before his farewell game?

 

[Headless]

Play the little bugger in a wheelchair if need be.

 

[omit]

play him at all costs. if he dies during the week carry his coffin onto the field and place it on the forward flank by the members stand as a tribute to his wonderful hit on Hird

it's not like we're going to win next week anyway

 

[Headless]

Perhaps all of the players could wear Matthew Whelan masks also?

 

[CM Sean]

Get every player to wear a number 45 guernsey.
That'll confuse em

Hirdy will have a ****ing panic attack in the commentary box, pack his things and go interstate

 

[Goobernutty]

To the rest of us, a hamstring injury is a month off the field, but in Whelan's world he has what he himself would call "a boo-boo on his leg".

 

[master bate]

Surely he can manage 5 minutes a quarter in the forward pocket. The ball won't be coming down anyway. Wheatley can join him up there. If Jamar can kick 5 then anyone can.

 

[efcboy]

surely they'd be better off giving a young bloke like zomer an opportunity and just having whelan out on the ground at the end.

whats the point of him playing really if he can't run?

Don't be scared, Hird doesn't even play any more, he won't hit him again.

People said the same about one Dean Rioli, but your mob managed to pick him so if and i mean if , he had male children they would qualify.
However, in Wrecker's case its more a matter of him getting 150 games= life membership.

Wheels will play, Doc Larkins didn't realise it will be 150 for him next week... I've also seen the injury reported as hamstring sorness, not an actual hamstring... Maybe he got a bit tight, so they took him off so he could get up for his 150th and final game...

Even if it is torn i think Wheels will play, that's the type of bloke he is...
