OH oh ... See the boys went surfing yesterday ... don't they know that they could cut their feet on rocks ... get a surfboard flying into the back of their heads ... get taken by sharks ... pull muscles getting on the boards ... break their necks getting dumped by the waves

Oh it's ok ... club sanctioned ... JUST DON'T PLAY BASKETBALL IN YOUR SPARE TIME ... far too dangerous.

or drown, who's the bright spark that organised this ?????? !!!!!!!

cotton wool quick, & overcoats for all, to stop any cold

I've had his posts blocked for months, his bumping of the Trengove thread is lifetime ban worthy.

Folks ... can we stay on topic please?

This is about Christian Petracca and his toe.

And an important one it is.

Ok, I'll toe the line.

If it's a six week injury, that means he should be half way towards full recovery by now, yeah?

Not sure if it's the angle or not, but his legs looks very skinny. 

I picked that up aswell. Looked like he had no calf muscle at all. 

[Gorgoroth 12,443]

I'll start to feel better about this only when he has completed two weeks of full training. Until then I can't help but fear a set back with this injury.

All very well, but we don't actually know what he was doing when it happened.  It could have been a freakish accident in a situation where only the most helicoptoring parent (or footy team/demonland member) would have said 'don't do that'. 

The only indirect evidence we have that he was in fact stupid is Roos' comments. And even that may have been borne more out of frustration than with anger at bad behaviour. I guess that is motivating many posters as well since I reckon we'd have hardly heard a peep on the subject if it had happened to a player in whom we have no hopes of great things.

Surely he's still on Trac for a round 1 debut?

I had to double check it was actually his right foot pinky toe... looking good. Happy days!

Just jogging laps this morning, looked a bit forlorn to me, barely raising a sweat. Either it his day off or he is well off round 1 pace. Not sure which.

That exercise where he jumps over the yellow bars looks a hell of a lot more dangerous than playing basketball.

Gotta test his toe out somehow..

I thought the one leg hopping will be to strengthen the inured knee/leg from muscle wastage/loss of strength from inactivity during recovery.   not so much the toe, but shows the toes healed, as he can hop & land it on a hard surface.

Just be thankful he is wearing shoes over the yellow bars.

Hey Dazzle, this is why Saty is the best poster on the site.  We get information nobody else provides. Just rumble over the stuff you don't like.

BTW, no issue with the way you've responded recently to Saty.  First class.

Maybe a chance at a late NAB Challenge game. Would love to see him out on the G for round 1 if he's fit.
