Chip - Broken Toe?

Red Sox

Hopefully the Chip is ok as I was in the rooms after the game and he was on crutches. *GULP*

Would he be our most important player now? IMO he is very close. It is nice that we have Matt Warnock playing excellent footy at Casey and would be ready, but we would miss Chip no doubt.

Thanks to Don McLardy for the invite to the rooms yesterday, great to belt out the song with the boys!!

Go Dees!

    No idea what has happened, but crutches immediately after a game or even in the days after is not always the bad sign that many assume it is. Crutches take the weight off an injured leg, foot, whatever. Happens all the time that a player is on crutches after a game but plays the next week.

    Anyway, it's probably just a chip...

    How did you get from Chip on crutches to him having a broken toe?

    Broke my toe the day before playing in a grand final once. Strapped it, played and won. I was 12 at the time. Couldn't see a broken toe keepin Chip out

    That's what I heard from people in the room after seeing him on crutches.

    As per usual.. Cam Schwab uploads a couple of videos on his twitter of the players in the rooms after the game. I had a nother look to see if I could find Frawley...

    Video 1: After the game. Chip was walking around without crutches but had a slight hobble. Ice on his ankle and part of his leg which is the norm for most players.

    Video 2: The warm-down. Chip was lying on his back with no crutches near him.

    Just relaying what was on video, mate.

    Wasn't on crutches the whole time. Should be fine. No injuries mentioned in the Hun today also.

    Indeed!

    He is tough bugger, I'd imagine it would take a lot to keep him out.

    We have had Dunny on crutches for the last two weeks, seems to be able to leave them in the dressing room on game day,I think there is a lot of messing around going on, I was even amazed to see the players messing around with the numbers on the training tops at the training on Saturday morning, there were at least half a dozen in the wrong number.....Hawthorn would love Chip not to be there......he was standing ok roaring out the song

    Clubs are quite protective of any niggles that players may have and probably wouldn't appreciate this thread.

    Was mentioned on the radio after the game by the commentators that it was a rolled ankle. Not confirmed by the club though

    The 774ABC coverage said during the game that he was off for a period of time getting an ankle attended to. Came back on and finished out the game, obviously.

    Exactly.

    I don't want Buddy, or anyone else next week testing out his foot.

    So folks, nothing to see here. Our AA defender is raring to rip another forward a new one.

    Yep, sure the Hawks are all over this thread and wouldn't have a clue otherwise! :wacko:

    I am sure Alistair Clarkson when he was sitting in the stands on Sunday would have noticed Chip 'limp' off, gee guys we can discuss it, as long as we don't become alarmist......and the black clouds begin to descend

    Exactly. We support our club and support our players. We can DISCUSS what we like.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
