Strauss - Broken Hand


Dee Fan

Recommended Posts

Well if you're going to break a hand, this may just be the time to do it. The bulk of the fitness training can still be completed, therefore preventing a loss of fitness. Plus our players will be having a longer Chrissy break due to starting pre-season training earlier (I think that's the deal the made with the FD), so he won't miss as much as he would had it been sustained in the new year. The main loss will be in the weights room. A shame, but I'm looking at the positives :D .

im curious as to how is broke it!!!

if he is found to be doing something the FD would not like him doing this could be a bad sign for him and the club, but if it was in a training mishap i would be a lot happier to heat it

From my tommy sauce:

Broken wrist, no touching a footy for 6 weeks.

Also rear ended his car today, only minor.

Editorial: Very dedicated to his footy, was nice and fit after surgery etc. But certainly isn't the brightest tool in the shed.

You mean he's out for 4 - 6? :wub:

Stop it. Just stop it RIGHT now.

He can still [censored] himself on the track.

He just can't...well...I'd be repeating myself.

What else can we do but crack jokes eh?

Lets not jump to conclusions on the state of the player or the player's behaviour.

His shoulder injury was a collision injury not a soft tissue or body problem. What was the cause of the broken wrist?

We don"t definately know because the MFC will not tell us re their website. We are guessing or listenening to possible rumours

take it as a definate, unless that was someone else who looked alot like strauss with a bandage on his wrist explaining to me how he went to double fist a ball and broke that ball part on the outside of the wrist ..........and yes that is the medical term :unsure:

I am not questioning that he is injured , but the original post states - broken hand- if that was correct surely he would be in plaster not having his wrist bandaged. Therefore we do not accurately know his injury for sure ! However accept your explanation as a fractured wrist.

i was at training yesrerday and hes not in plaster, the trainer was hitting a tennisball to him, he was moving pretty well, obviously he was only catching the ball with his good hand.

Hitting a punching bag, not a footy.

It's very minor. No cast, will be back in action soon enough.

Bum luck, but eh, he'll be right.

i did have a few so i may have heard that wrong, but i was sure he said ball and then used both hands to indicate a 2 fisted punch.

anyhoo, you're right about it being minor.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.
