I am more relaxed now. The scans are complete and waiting for the specialist to review the films but correct if I am wrong (webber - this is your area of expertise) - I would have thought the club medico's would have looked at them and if it was something season ending they would have noticed it already ? You would think that they wouldn't be filtering out the message of "minor" if the scans didn't look reasonable.

Unsurprising, there are definitely players that masquerade as the good guys of the game, but would happily down the opposition's gun players at the earliest opportunity.

Never forget Hodge on Wingard. Hasn't stopped the boys-club media from gushing over the guy at every opportunity, naturally.

the hypocrisy is that if Jack Viney does something similar we all just get stuck into saying what a legend he is

Seems a reasonable assumption to me nutbean.

Just watched it again. I didn't notice it initially but it is quite a deliberate attempt to jump on him isn't it. Crude at the least.

Very deliberate and not simply accidental. Dog act for mine

Both easy to clinically diagnose so it ain't either, although the drive of the knee into the ground is classic PCL injury mechanism. All impatient armchair speculation really, I'm sure he'll be fine with a scope and a couple of weeks on the bike ?

thanks Webber,  thats why I mentioned it,  & to pass it by pickets nose,,,  but I don't understand the techniques of diagnosis for it,  or difficulty.

Pretty sure it was Hartlett later in the game who dragged Tyson backwards while he was on his knees, causing him to grab his knee & have to go off for a while. Again, a deliberate & unnecessary movement that could have caused a serious injury (or aggravated an existing one, given Tyson's history of knee injuries) by hyperflexing the knee. Have to keep a closer eye on Hartlett. As Nutbeam pointed out originally, this sort of thing doesn't get the attention that sling tackles do, but could involve just as much risk of serious injury.

[nutbean 8,838]

I am sure that players want to tackle hard to knock the stuffing out of the opponent and take them out of the contest

I am not sure any of these tackles are deliberately aimed to cause injury.

With the breakneck pace of our game I also think it is a split second thing without malicious intent and tackles go horribly wrong.

( the days of a Grinter lining up a player to elbow his front teeth out or send him into the grandstand are gone in my opinion )

[DeeSpencer 24,752]

Sounds like almost best case scenario. 

Casey practice game in 3 weeks time in to round 1 in 4 weeks time still possible. If not, then he misses a round or two.

thank god for that, hopefully he comes up for round 1 but i'd assume they won't be risking anything

Correct but there are rules against driving players into the ground. I have watched it a number of times now and Hartlett jumped off the ground and into Brayshaw's back, driving him into the ground. He also pinned Brayshaw's right arm, as he took him down, with his weight on Brayshaw's back. Could easily have knocked Brayshaw out, if he landed head first, or led to a neck or collarbone injury.

I thought it was worse than the Oliver incident.

Then again I am only a whinging Dees supporter, who in the past has been outraged at a broken jaw suffered by Sylvia, off the ball and yet the Eagle player responsible walked free.

agreed, it was an extremely dangerous tackle, and Brayshaw is lucky he didn't get far more seriously injured, i am baffled that it wasn't looked at, especially after Oliver's was

About as good a news as we could hope for, out for the rest of the Whogivesas*** Challenge and to be honest I would very comfortable with the club waiting until Round 2 before he returns just to make sure he's cherry ripe. The kid's a key figure in our future, if there is any lingering doubt just take it easy with him. I can picture him not being happy about that prospect though!

4 weeks.......could have been 6

Telling when you consider a 4 week injury as 'luck' as the season commences.

Such has been our reality...

My thoughts exactly. I might consider it luck when Gus is actually back out on the field in 4 weeks, but till then I won't hold my breath.
