Doctors missed a bone growing out of the crack in is heel... 

BIG miss and has cost him the season

What does this actually mean? I assume the crack you are referring to is in the bone which makes up the heel. So is it a bit of bone growing in the wrong place?

By the end of this season he will have played 14 games out of the past 49 (plus any finals we play). Perhaps he stays because we have too many others to delist, but he is teetering on the precipice.

He'll also be 26 by the start of next season - that's not particularly old, but at some point you have to weigh up the value of putting games into an injury prone fringe player versus giving them to a young draftee.

yes he was a great point of difference being a big bodied midfielder. As Commetti once said about Vanders, He doesn't do anything great, but does everything well.

 

He is worth persisting with if we think he won't turn into a trengove situation and lose his pace.

Nice combination pun and ambiguity. Either you want us to get doctors who can perform at a higher standard or you believe we have unwell doctors...which is kind of funny, yet disturbing (that you care) at the same time.

Correct... If the doctors picked it up earlier they could have operated earlier and not cost him the season.

Do you mean a calcaneal spur, or something related to a fracture?

IF that is the case here is a link.  https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/heel-spur

It seems that initial treatment is conservative i.e. rest which has been done.  Surgery (assuming that is what is happening) seems to be reserved for when conservative treatment fails.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
