That's what I thought. I could've sworn I saw the number 45 running around after the clash.

If that's what happened to Brock, then that's up there as the most disastrous start imaginable...

Im 100% that Wheels came back on...but i only saw him running once after the hit. At least he came back on. The Saintsational site say he broke his jaw but that is unconfirmed and no reports like that have been made. As for McLean...i definatly heard he did his foot and he was on the bench in crutches however the source on MMM is questionable and im sure Dr Larkins will make a comment come tomorrow or Sunday footy Show. McLean is definatly injured tho. Unknown how long, i took a guess cause it takes around that time for fixing it and getting some prac game time. Who knows but crutches look bad

10 weeks.... great.... this night really couldn't get much worse :(

Urrgh......

Good grief I hope not, this was, and is, bad enough :angry:

Whelan came back on, then straight off again. Some sort of neck injury apperantly.

Well, hopefully he will be ok (and I am trying to find something to make glass is a little full here......)

And thanks for the updates guys, such as they are :( !!!

Yeah, just watched the replay :o

It looked to me like Brock dropped and kicked the ball oddly as a result of the bump. The ball drifted further forward on his foot than it would normally, and from what little I can tell, it put too much pressure on too little area around the toe part of his foot. It looked like it hyperextended a little, and when he was on the bench with the physio poking around, it seemed he was inspecting that part of his foot. It sounds like a silly little thing, but that's all I could see that might have caused it. Once it happened he was enourmously distressed and still tried to run to CHB to contest the next opposition thrust into their forward 50. When he finally made his way to the bench he was in as bad a way as I can remember him being.

Tough.

My hope is that there's little or no structural damage, and perhaps it was just a tendon/sprain thing. Honestly though, I'm preparing for the worst.

As for reports, Davey smacked Baker in the head and apologised afterwards. Umpire siad it was a free and nothing else, so that's some hope, and he did do it more or less with his forearm.

Whelan may get something ONLY because there was damage to the head of Ball. It was totally fair, and an accident, but that's never stopped the panel from rubbing guys out. Apparently it was whiplash that had Whelan off the ground.

Montagna was being hassled by Trav in the last and turned with a clenched fist and thumped Trav as hard as he could in the chest. Could be worth a look. But who knows?

I'm hoping for some sort of small miracle, and hoping it's only a sprain.

Having sprained my hand quite badly on Wednesday, it certainly feels like a break and is just as painful.

I didn't see the accident, but if his foot slipped as you say, he may not have had enough force there to actually break it. I'm not a doctor though, and knowing our luck, he's probably smashed it to bits and will be out for 3 months. :(

Heaven help us if it's as bad as they think.

They were icing the injury so it may not actually be a break.... but if he has torn the ligaments then he looking at a fairly lengthy lay off anyway. This injury will certainly test the depth of our midfield group.

well if he has ruptured the ligaments, he is still looking at atleast 4 weeks on the sidelines. It has happened to myself and I could not even wiggle my toes for 6 weeks, let alone walk, let alone run.

If he can get fit quick and stay that way.....this may be Sylvia's chance....

I agree.

It was a clash of heads.

The fact that Whelan had a cut to his head proves this.

Surely they can't suspend someone over a clash of heads.

the tribunal have categorically said that gia's bump on kossi last year where they clashed heads would result in a suspension ... draw from that what you will

FWIW i agree with you, but looking at it objectively, it doesn't look good

Dr Smooth from MMM has stated that Brock has been cleared of any ligiment damage. He will have a CT on monday and may only be out for 3-4 weeks.

WOW!

So what does that mean? Obviously there's no break in the bones.

Does this equate to a sprain?

Great news. Crutches worried me and hopefully this is the extent of it. Mononey to fill in his shoes. Any news on Wheels and duration out?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
