Did Darren Lockyer injure his vocal chords playing rugby and is he completely mad? (proposing to play on w/e). Someone who is familiar with this code pls assist.

    He injured his throat a few years back and didn't get it fixed for some reason.

    No doubt those rugby blokes are tough as nails. They don't seem to feel pain like normal people. Possibly because they've had all the sense punched out of them.

    A captain wanting to lead his team to a premiership in his final year despite injury isn't mad. Ballsy, passionate, short-sighted maybe... but not mad.

    Hopefully the Broncos smash Manly.

    It's possibly his last game before retirement and he intends to go out playing regardless of having a fractured cheek bone. His throat was a legacy of an injury early in his League (never call it Rugby) career. He is tough and he is not stupid.... just extremely dedicated. Hats of to him... I wish we had one or two more like him - I put Jones in that category after his desire to retake the field following his back/neck injury at the end of season 2010.

    Apparently he can get it fixed (or attempt it) but won't bother until he finished playing.

    Is he mad this week? Well that depends on the potential for his injury to get worse and in particular any potential damage to his eye or into something else like a sinus. The plates are strong so maybe it's a minimal risk.

    I'm not a surgeon or a radiologist so I can't answer that.

    It is apparently a 6 week recovery injury, so despite plates he has a real risk of blindness (due to optic nerve injury) if he cops a blow on same spot

    In 6 weeks the inflammation and swelling would be reduced

    Again only what I've read

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
