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.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
