According to the MFC website LJ will miss another 3-4 weeks and won't play any NAB Cup. Continues to battle a wrist injury. Hasn't been a good pre season for LJ

Edited February 28, 201214 yr by J-Riv

How often does an injury start at a couple of weeks, and then keeps blowing out as the weeks roll on. Very frustrating, but it is obviously difficult to accurately predict injury lengths. Would almost rather them give more of a worst case scenario at the start.

Originally it was two weeks and he did return to full training but his wrist flared up again.

My mate is cousins with Liam and he will be back either round 3 nab cub or round 3 of season.

That's a big difference!

so if he doesnt get up for next weeks game is just having a kip til april 14 for the tiges is he?

There's a lot of reasons to be hopeful going into season 2012 but it seems LJ is not going to be one of them.

Still some weeks away from handling the ball and then he's gone have to find touch in the magoos before cracking it for a senior berth.. it's gonna take some hard work to get back in the caper.

I really hope he is a part of Neeld's plans, he is beautiful to watch at his best

I know its wiki but read this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaphoid_bone

"The scaphoid can be slow to heal because of the limited circulation to the bone. It receives its blood supply primarily from lateral and distal branches of the radial artery"

LJ headed home for the time being.

even if LJ does take a while to get himself right he's still a gun. came back from a serious shoulder injury to be our leading goal kicker and lets face it he boosts MFC membership and for good reason. He's electric and watch him fire up second half of this year:) go LJ

You might have seen that olisik didn't just say Charles had a bad wrist, olsik also said Charles was a great player.

Charles was a great player. I read the comment and this is why I am Q?? Still don't get why the chuckle and the bad wrist analogy? Did I miss the joke??

A great player? Really?

I liked Sean Charles but he was far from an AFL great IMO.

Wayne Carey, James Hird, Sean Charles..?

That said, I bandy around phrases like 'great player' less easily than some; it's all relative.

Better clear this one up. slight misunderstanding here. I simply repeated Olisek.'s comment as follows " I think Sean Charles was a great player. With a very bad Wrist"

I can remember Sean Charles was very very fast and a beautiful kick. Not really a "great player" but a good one all the same. Did beautifully long torps though. The tone of "great" is what counts here

I just didn't understand the "Sean Charles had a bad wrist" comment in the general context of the LJ Topic. Then the subsequent "chuckles". What is so funny that one needs to chuckle?

so everytime an Aboriginal player gets an injury we'll look up another Aboriginal player that may have suffered the same or similar injury and have a group chuckle??

They mentioned before the GW$ v Swans game that Jurrah has had the pin removed from his wrist, is feeling a lot better (injury-wise), and has been given the all-clear to train with the main group..

[censored] yeah!! cmon liam prove to everyone you still have life in the afl and mean business!

JURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAH!

... has been given the all-clear to train with the main group..

Think it's the main rehabilitation group. As opposed to training apart from the group, presumably as part of his sanction for drinking etc.

This is good news but none of it really matters unless he can somehow avoid jail time.

not helpful. might as well say it'll all be wasted if he - or anyone else - falls under a truck tomorrow.

Where does your "somehow" come from? He denies the charges, and is released on minimal bail, but you would rush to speculating on sentencing?

Strange thinking for a "supporter"...

Hold your nerve, and don't talk silly talk

Excuse my ignorance, but how do trials work where Jurrah comes from?

Tremendous to have him back in the full rehab group.

This is good news but none of it really matters unless he can somehow avoid jail time.

LJ claims he didn't touch him.If so, will not have any issue re jail.Getting back in the team, is his first priority and succeeding.He owes that to himself, family, great friends such as Bruce etc..

i can
