Listening to the radio coverage. Just heard that Jurrah is off with a shoulder, arm or collar bone injury. Not a lot of clarity form the Adelaide radio folks, but this is a very bad thing. Anyone able to give us more info?

[Cards13]

They have been saying Jurrah, Bell and Newton have all done shoulders. Bell and Jurrah really bad ones but seriously they don't really seem to know what they are on about so I'll wait for the club to say more on it.

They also said shoulder or elbow... I'll wait

[Rojik of the Arctic]

Yep I'll wait for the club rather than take the word of some sub par commentators.

You might want to watch out saying "I'll wait."

It starts arguments with some of the flogs around here.


I reckon the Jurrah one really hurts. You would assume that if they're mid-long term injuries, then it's LTI list for all of them. Let's say Jurrah and Bell are the long termers, that means Newton has to be promoted (if his injury isn't long term). Bell is depth, so not TOO much was going to be put on his shoulders this season.

We're already under siege on the injury list and the season hasn't even started.

[furious d]

Tapscott, Gawn, PJ, Morton, Jurrah and Bell all possible LTI's. Our entire rookie list could be promoted for round 1 if 2 of them weren't potentially LTI's as well (Newton and Meesen).

Saw on Channel 9 news a small update. Ding Dong looks like collar bone. Jurrah is either elbow or broken arm. The same arm he has had strapped.

[RudeBoy]

Channel 9 are tossers. I spoke to Liam, and it's a dislocated shoulder.

Bugger! Thanks for the update RB. Hope he takes it in his stride and the great man comes back even better!!!

[wonnabeeri]

Thanks RB. Fingers crossed for a quick recovery.

How many weeks is a dislocated shoulder?

Anyone know how long for a dislocated shoulder offhand?
Best and worst case scenario?
Cheers in advance.

[Dappa Dan]

Thanks rudeboy. You're an asset.

Ok. So along with a lot of steak and protein shakes for Watts and Morton, we need to throw in a lot of calcium for Belly's brittle bones.

More than likely 12 weeks if its dislocated

[TT's Demons]

Just said that Jurrah has a broken arm and Bell popped a shoulder...

Forearm, haven't said which bone.

[RalphiusMaximus]

Not sure I'd be putting much faith in this lot though.

[condemned 84]

I've dislocated my shoulder 3 times (left twice, right once)
First on left was 4 weeks, minimal damage to ligaments as it pretty much went straight back in, second on left 9 weeks and another 3 till I felt right in the game.
The right was about 6 weeks.

Really comes down to swelling on the joint, bruising on the joint and mainly the ligament damage done. (in my opinion which I ain't a doctor so probably means SFA )

[She Devil 64]

Cam Schwab on twitter just said Liam's shoulder popped out but went back in. Wait on scans.
Bell dislocated A/C - in trouble

Rudeboy has just emailed me to confirm what Cam stated. Does not know how long he will be out but very disappointed he will miss playing with his brother Wona for a while. He has been very much looking forward to play with Aussie.

The wait continues

[steveheals]

So what is it, a broken arm or a dislocated shoulder? or both?

[RalphiusMaximus]

According to twitter, it's a dislocated shoulder. They were waiting on scans to see how bad. Didn't sound bad from the language they used. However, they wouldn't be likely to play up the severity, so who knows?

[steveheals]

Ok, the commentators said it was definitely a broken arm on FiveAA, but then again, they're south australian

Unbelievable isn't it?

Rudeboy gave us the accurate news 20 minutes before the radio station did, and from a state away (presumably).

That caps off easily the most incompetent radio announcing I've ever heard.

And I've heard Andy Maher and Derwayne.

Rude Boy is a close mate of LJ`s. Read his earlier post and consider the matter closed. The good thing is that it popped out and straight back in so the ligament damage would be as minimal as a shoulder dislocation can get, although still incredibly painful. (I`ve popped mine more than half a dozen times!)

He`ll still spend quite a bit of time on the sidelines no matter how mild the `pop` was!

That really is quite an indictment on the station !!!
But there does tend to be a general injury hysteria among media folk.

That being said.....

Jurrah hurt as Crows edge Dees

[dees 1858]

papers reporting that it was only a dislocated shoulder! Schwab twitter also says only dislocated shoulder. Here's hoping it's not too bad!!

[titan_uranus]

So Jurrah has dislocated his broken shoulder?

Seriously, though, whatever the injury is it's terrible news, for Liam and for the club. Hopefully he'll come back from this is great shape.

[Wrathchild]

Jurrah being hurt is bad either way! We need games under his belt asap, not starting in 12 weeks time.

Gotta feel for Belly, cannot avoid getting hurt, and this is a last chance year for him.

[Deleted for player abuse - Poster warned]

Seriously, I wish Bell and Jurrah a speedy recovery, and wish Newton, Meesen and Hughes all the best to try and resurrect their careers with the Demons this season.

[IWAP]

They just mentioned on SEN that Bell would miss 8 weeks.

For Jurrah, they didn't give a timeframe, but said they were seeking further consultation - but summised that he was cleared of serious injury

I guess that's good news. 'Seeking futher consultation' doesn't sound too good though.

Edit: See http://www.afl.com.a...87/default.aspx for info. Says that Jones is OK, just soreness.

This is bad news all around. It's really disappointing we can't seem to have any

sort of luck with injuries. I'd like to see the stats over the last 3 years on how many total games were

missed by our list due to injury. I reckon we would go close to having the worst record in the

AFL. Wish Jurrah and Bell all the best hopefully the club get them right and Bell can give us a reason to back him

for another contract and Jurrah can ignite the MCG with his talent.

jones said on his twitter that he pulled up fine from the game...just the normal stiffness thats comes with it

[Dappa Dan]

8 weeks is actually better than I expected. but like the Morton one, is it 8 weeks from today? Or 8 H&A rounds?

[DeeZee]

Does anyone know anything yet?
The suspense is killing me!

[PNGeeDee]

Liam Jurrah will have surgery this week and its hoped a mid season return for the elusive second year player

[Roost It]

I thought Bell's injury was more serious
