He has been good. Doesn't help when the ball is pumped in 60 times plus and he is generally playing on teh oppositions focal point. Plus every second half this year our midfield has struggled resulting in less pressure on those delivering the ball into the 50. Least of Neelds worries atm.

Agree. Unfortunately has been responsible for a few clangers as well.... Most likely due to poor communication.

Vital to our team.

It is one of the most pain in the arse painful injuries you can have. Now it is cold every morning his first couple of steps will be painful, once warmed up you function OK.

Since you seem to know about this injury, is it one that will require offseason surgery? Or will it heal itself if he keeps of it for a while?

A pain in the foot is a pain in the arse? I demand a second opinion.

Aaaaaaargh. Not good.

Not experienced it myself, but heard a lot of stories.

Get's more and more painful, and the only real solution is to break your foot.

I recall reading about Josh Kennedy at the eagles doing it earlier this season in the age.

http://www.watoday.com.au/afl/afl-news/how-kennedy-broke-in-his-foot-20120401-1w6h8.html

IT IS part of football lore that Robert Harvey jumped from a table to make sure he finally snapped a weakened and painful plantar fascia in a foot, so it could finally repair itself.

Three weeks ago, West Coast's Josh Kennedy did a variation on the same theme, jabbing up his foot with painkillers and running until the foot broke.

Yesterday, less than a month later, he booted seven goals in round one - the first competitive game he has played all year.

Read the article though - Kennedy got to the point where he needed to break his foot, numbed it up and did it, then kicked 7 goals in a match less than a month later.

Not according to the article.

I haven't followed Kennedy's injury history closely, so I don't recall any season-ending injury.

I hate the locker room - I only ever check the main board. Surely things like this can have their own thread instead of being shunted away on a board few venture to.

I agree. We have about 100 thread dedicated to criticizing Jack Watts which would all be condensed into one Jack Watts criticism thread so this one surely does deserve a thread of its own. I was just answering Mr Morton's question.

I was of the belief that when you post in a thread in the locker room it comes onto the main board, mine does this anyway, and the locker room is just a means of organising these threads on players to obtain them when needed.

I remember Harvey talking about this in an interview years ago, IIRC..

-Jumped off the table, think it was the morning of the match.. (or the morning before..) excruciating to do apparantly..

-numbed it up for the game and went on to play as usual.. against us too, again, IIFC..

-everyone was amazed.. etc..

Over to you Frawls.

He broke the tendon as did Harvey. Not the foot per se.

I don't agree. I like that we can discuss individual players and this way it is all in one place.

And it also should keep awful threads like that Jack Watts one off the main board - the mods should have moved that.

That story made me feel sick. The things footballers have to do sometimes!

Ha..

Sticks in your mind doesnt it..

He had a half dozen attempts too! (Like the guy from 127 hours, trying to get thru his arm bones..)

He broke the tendon as did Harvey. Not the foot per se.

Yeah.. i think its how monkeys swing from branches using their feet, the tendon kinda giving them 4 hands.. (maybe thats how some people get to be total w@nkers?)

Now we dont live in trees anymore its obsolete..

It's not possible for me to agree with you more wholeheartedly than I do about the 'Locker Room' sub-forum.

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
