No idea whether or not he's broken his foot, but Colin Garland broke his navicular bone, spent a year out of footy, and is now playing some awesome footy. Not necessarily career ending

I hope you arent stupid enough to think that just because a person has not been a member of this online forum for long means they are not reliable or that their posts have no crediblity.

No just an interesting observation. If you make such a claim you should be able to back it up with evidence. We'll hear from the club soon.

All i'm saying is my sources have reported a broken foot - for most of you that know anything about anatomy, a broken foot almost always means the navicular as it is kind of a wedged bone, can't move under pressure and often takes a lot of stress at it's skinniest point. So it's not anything different to a 'normal' broken foot.

And most of the time, a broken foot isn't all that bad, similar to a broken arm or something, wait for the bone to heal, which doesnt take long as it's a very small (but vital) bone. The only issue is the inability to perform any weight bearing tasks.

EDIT: completely understand the mis-trust, been on this thing for not long compared to most of you lot, however love the dees and i wouldn't go around making up [censored] and bull stories just to [censored] off my fellow supporters.

So basically because someone? said he has a broken foot you are guessing it is a navicular done.

Even if it is true you don't make a post like this unless you have some reliable information to back it up.

Interestingly, in Rod Nicholson's article to be published in the HUN tomorrow he writes -

"3.)  Melbourne's win was even more impressive given young gun Jack Grimes injured an ankle and was substituted within the opening 20 minutes, forcing the Demons to be more asture with rotations. He will have precautionary scans today."

If I remember correctly, we banned a poster for 12 for spreading misinformation about an injury allegedly sustained by Jack Grimes a couple of years ago.

I would suggest that our moderators will be consistent on this issue if the information turns out to be incorrect again this time (as I hope is the case).

Twelve months is a long time but in that instance the poster was given the opportunity to 'fess up and show remorse but that didn't happen on that occasion.

Have a look at the video of the team singing the song post match.

Grimes joins in, and I can't really tell if he's on crutches. He is definitely not on two crutches, possibly just one.

Can't have a broken foot if he's up singing the song. Anyone who has broken anything from the hip down before would tell you that standing up singing is not top of your priority list. Unless you are really high on Morphine. So fingers crossed!

He is leaning on something....

it'll be hard to cover the losses of Trengove and Grimes if they actually are rubbed out with suspension and serious injury as per the roumours...

crutches.

Thanks for the clarification. I actually thought Grimes travelled to and from games in a zimmer frame. Fortunately you were here to let me know that Grimes wasn't actually using a zimmer frame when the players were singing the song.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
