James Strauss

Pretty much the same story as Nathan Brown and Mick Barlow for those who weren't at the game today. Sickening stuff.

Let's hope he gets back to his good form. He'll be a gem. :)

Don't watch if you're squeamish.

 

Shocking luck for the lad, always thought he would turn out to be a good player. Let's just hope that everything goes well for him over the next 6-12 months, at least he has age on his side.

This is so sick. Really felt for him. He is going to have a huge challenge to get back up again. Hope he makes it. There was nothing in it, just landed funny after making a great spoil.

 

Yeah a really really bad break, they way it folds under him I would not be surprised to hear more than one break for each bone.

Just awful. He finally found his place in the team too.

All the best to him. Hopefully he makes a full and quick recovery.

[censored] incident to top off another miserable day.


Good luck James, i saw it live, i don't need to ever see it again.

6 months at best for recovery says Dr. Peter Larkin.

Strauss was starting to really show a bit.

The MFC curse rolls on...Hang in there people. We will beat this rotten luck.

Poor bugger, bad to see this happen to any player, but even worse when it one of our own!

All the best for a quick recovery Straussy!

Terrible luck for Straussy. I will remain optimistic he can come back from this, but we should keep in mind just how hard it is going to be for him to get back to AFL level. Huge setback for player and club.

Wishing for a speedy recovery for Straussy.

I saw it live too and I felt very sick. Poor bugger. I hope he makes it back to play. He's a talented young fella.

I really feel for him, was just finding his way at the top level and did really well to keep with his opponent and make a great spoil. Unfortunately, he will most likely find it really tough to get back going at the required level within the next 2 years at least. I really wish him the best.

Yes i know, It was James who started that Jack Watts Goal.....just such bad luck.

Well, he has time on his side. Speedy recovery to ya !!

whats his contractual status ?

I was there watching it and straight after the Watts goal and giving Mclean sh*t for being a slow c*nt I immediately turned and looked at our defense minus Strauss, and i said broken leg 4 sure. Then when the replay came on the big screen the first thought that popped into my head was career over. He was all over Garlett and Garland was killing Betts. I hate to say it but just as he was finding his way and looking good, he cops this sh*t. This year has to be the worst year ever for the MFC on field and off. Wow, next year is gonna be a whole new type of animal....

I hate seeing these sorts of injuries for anyone, let alone a Dee! Good luck for a speedy and complete recovery Straussy!

bad luck young fella, take your time getting back. all the best with your recovery

6 months for that. Larkins is dreaming. He will struggle to back before 2013 if at all.

Rotten luck for player just starting to find his feet.

And tacky add by Tasplan about going hard and retirement when a player is injured like that.

Get well quick James. Deserve better than that.

Poor bastard. I watched that once, couldn't watch it again, and felt sick every time they had to show it on tele. Hope for his sake that he can battle it out and make it back into the squad.

Couldn't be worse timing, given he'd strung together a decent spell in the seniors.

Hopefully he can do a Barlow and get back from this injury.

OK lets not pack his bags for him shall we......

But you're right when you say it's rotten luck, especially for a kid just starting to kind his way.

I saw it on the TV and it just looked, well horrible doesn't really cover it.

And tacky add by Tasplan about going hard and retirement when a player is injured like that.

Get well quick James. Deserve better than that.

Yes get well soon James, we all are pulling for a strong recovery.....

But what was the tacky bit Rhino?


I did say if.....

His battle will be psychological as much as its physical.

The Tasplan ad seemed tacky when you have a player down with a career threatening sickening injury and Tasplan trumpet "going in hard" and preparing for your "retirement"

Guess I hate ads anyway.

Good luck Straussy. Horrible injury but plenty of time for you to get back...

Got it, cheers mate.....

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
