With the news on Roughie, reminds me of sitting in the first tier on the wing for the Melbourne-Richmond game where you could hear Nathan Brown's leg crack. Gotta wonder whether players ever come back the same from that sort of injury.

His achilles went.

Nothing at all like Nathan Brown's broken leg.

Very strange comparison.

Yeah some of them are just nasty.

It wasn't as bad as Brown's, but I remember hearing Steven King's leg smack into Jeff White's face in the final of 2005. It's a creepy thing to hear when you're in the stands.

12-18months out of the game is as bad as, if not worse really, than Brown's leg break.

Achilles takes forever to heal. Especially if you want it to stand up to a game like Aussie Rules. Even with the best doctors, this is probably a longer layoff than an ACL. Very harsh on the big guy, especially since it popped in such an innocuous way. Not even in a contest.

Well if it's only 3 or 4 months I wouldn't think his Achilles tendon is ruptured ( that would be the season surely?) - but that is what it looked like.

Or maybe it's a torn calf muscle.

12 to 16 weeks is the season... Hawks Medico just confirmed it is a ruptured Achilles. You are right though I expect it to take a lot longer that 12 to 16 to heal properly.

I think 3 to 4 months was said after the game.

and matthew lloyd said it, but i think robbo did something similar and was out for about 12 months?

with the recovery and technology as it is nowdays roughie will be back, but it will be a lengthy process, and i definitely feel for the bloke.

Achilles means he is definitely out for the season. Should be right for the start of next year though.

Still can hear the collective groan to this day,when Ox went down for the third time.

Did he ever play as well again.No,the knees cost him and MFC dearly.

Wonder if him moving into the ruck and having to leap and run more has anything to do with it?

Shows just how crucial player management is, but saying that it is most probably just a freak event!

Poor guy

Easy to say in hindsight, but i did wonder whether he should play in the Ruck for long periods of time. You wonder whether the leg muscles are ready for that position.

It is such a specialized position.

Too late now. It's done.

Yeah, I was about to post that.

As much as I hate Hawthorn, I don't mind Roughie. Hope the poor bloke is able to come back and be his best. Going to be a long lay-off.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
