how [censored] off would you be , busting your guts all summer then getting hurt in the first 10 seconds of the first praccy match

Can't believe they have to wait 24 hours for an MRI result- usually available almost straight away 

Yes I do feel I would like a scan, however, the club medics will have a certain amount of equipment to assess the injury. They may have their own ultrasound equipment or something like that which could provide information. Yes in the past the club has had some issues with injuries - whether theyre mis-management issues is probably only known by the club - we can make assumptions. This is a new batch of medics since those days, they are professionals, they work with Paul Roos,  Im sure he and they know what they need to do. If he needs a scan he will get one. 

Anyone else bracing themselves for the worst? 

Or am I alone..

There's always an increased risk of hamstring related issues, but in the case of high hamstring like Kent's, ironically less so. Max Gawn is way past any issues with his reconstructed ACL. If he did it again, it would be a circumstance that would rupture an original ACL, or as close to it as doesn't matter. You have to remember binman, that any injury suffered by any player makes that area less than perfect, and in theory more at risk. No player is immune, and mostly it's situations beyond control, substantially inherited (genes). Think Geelong's Menzel vs. Michael Tuck.

Ta Webber. 

Inherited injury risks is an interesting one. I wonder how long it will be before professional football clubs (gridiron, AFL, soccer etc) start exploring using family injury history and even DNA testing as part of their recruiting tools. 

I seem to remember some talk of TheOx having genetically poor collagen which contributed to his initial injury, and his second recurrence.

You are not alone. I fully expect it to be announced that he will miss half the season, if not more.

If that is the case, we still got more out of him on the park this year than Richmond did with Yarran

really confident on this one, i think he'll be fine, god i hope i am right.

Desperate to hear the news. Fingers crossed!!

That he won't be back until 2018 and by that time Hogan will be playing for Fremantle and Goodwin will be sacked?

You left out Petracca retiring to pursue a basketball career.

Bit of a fluff piece, but it's some "news" nonetheless.

I don't think,  a comment saying 'it doesn't require a scan',  says that,  a precautionary scan won't be carried out.

I think the statement is meant to convey there is little to worry about.  & Not,  that any requirements,  will not be done.

 

I always thought some sort of scan would be done as he was on crutches,  just as a checkup.

I'm calling it. That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on here. Read my lips "Will never happen."

The longer it takes the club to release the results of Angus' injury, the more concerned I become.
