Someone would have had to have leaked it

media would contact hospitals media manager

media manager asks patient if they consent to some information (ie they were admitted )

if no consent media manager says not much at all, certainly does not confirm

if yes, some info confirmed

depends on pt consent

it would be very serious if a hospital staff member leaked it and punishable by hospital

of course someone else in the know might have leaked it

 

CH7 picked it up on tuesdays night coverage. They showed it tonight on the news. Stevo or Tommy Browne probably made a call. I guess maybe it got worse. But gee its not great timing.

If it was treated... fine ... say so... otherwise the football public and the media is  just left looking at another unprofessional example of a struggling football club.

Think of how Sydney handle Buddy and Hanners missing this week.

That is how we should do it.

Standard GP treatment for a dog bite asap after a bite

-dress the wound

-antibiotic injection 

-often a splint

-no exercise for one week

Unless properly treated the infection can infect the finger bone. Worse case scenario tge finger requires amputation. So potentially serious.  There is no way he should have played against Richmond. 

The player should have seen a GP or club doctor. If the club doc was consulted and did nothing, it would be a very basic omission that would be hard to explain. 

Never forget that a Saints  MO sutured a contaminated wound on some player’s leg and he was out for an extended period.

How about awaiting the facts (should they ever come out) before condemning either the club or the player.

(Even with optimal treatment sometimes things don’t turn out well) 

I'm an ex Postie. I hate dogs.

So why does he need surgery and why won't antibiotics be enough?

An infected finger can get pretty big pretty fast, and be extremely painful. Because of bloodflow issues, if untreated can lead to the risk of having the finger amputated.

The docs cut it open, let the pus out, stitch it up, THEN give antibiotics.

Routine these days, once upon a time a very serious ailment which could lead to septicaemia or gangrene. Life threatening.

Let the threatened lives be those of St Kilda droogs who get between him and the ball.

Is it not possible for us to just be able to say “s*** happens” and not get outraged or feel the need to blame someone?

Spot on Nasher. After I’d given up on blaming the umpires on Tuesday night for some howler decisions, and totally lost my voice, I just thought to myself “[censored] happens” for the rest of the night.

Correct. So once they know (which would be prior to the surgery) get on the front foot. It's 100% in the clubs control. They are just very very poor at managing it.

Yet another communication fail. really they have to fix their external communications.

Not condemning anyone. The fact is that it is a serious injury that has required hospitalisation because it was not treated immediately.

Terrific band. Great live

The dog will gain super-pupper strengths after biting Trac.

if the dog was radioactive, then we will have a superhero on our hands.

otherwise, I hope he gets well soon.

i don't know about where all you guys live, but a bit of the sky just fell down over burwood

we are rooted.....

i'm just about to adopt the foetal position and start rocking

Brings back memories. I copped an infection after a shoulder operation. Couldn't get rid of it after a lengthy course of strong antibiotics. Ended up back in hospital on a drip for 5 days. Then had to carry around a portable drip (which I was attached to) for 2 weeks. 

As for Trac, 4 - 6 weeks ... obviously.

It's a bummer, but his influence has waned. His first 3 weeks were very good, but his last couple not as much. Have a week off, freshen up, and come back fit and firing off a longer break.

In his defense, the entire team's influence has waned.

I miss them @binman they don't tour anymore.

Name a another band where someone plays a chain with a claw hammer.

Hopefully Trac comes back thinking he's a dog!

My guess: dog gets 2 to 3.

The dog is believed by the experts to be in contention for the brownlow, so will get off with a fine

He needs a minder.

Is there a more cursed club in World Sport!! 

This post is not just in response to you, Jibroni, but more a reminder that we should keep things in perspective. So, a couple of answers to your rhetorical question:

Chapeonse

Manchester United

Let's hope Petracca gets better quickly and when he returns plays better than ever.
