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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

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.

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
