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.

No worries here either. The back half has been in more trouble than the early settlers and I think it's held up okay under the conditions. Some midfield pressure will help Frawley and co significantly,

Scans on his foot, been managing an inuury and is only precautionary, but this is our biggest fear, we will be shot without Chip

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?

Has this been cited elsewhere?

It's in the James Frawley topic in the Locker Room

had scans today apparently and is in doubt this week not sure how serious it is

good point looking for similar threads would have paid off!!!

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

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.

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.

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.

You paint a very ugly picture there Jose

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.

yeah i edit my post, so that wasnt his season ending injury?

Not according to the article.

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

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.

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

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.

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..)

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.
