INJURY CONCERNS

[astrodee 0]

My daughter is a close mate of Brock's cousin. She spoke to him about 3 hours ago. He reckons, no ligament problems, CT scan tomorrow, and he'll be back in 2-3 weeks - if they don't find anything on the scan that he doesn't know about.

Looks like this could turn out OK

I feared 8-10 weeks, if he had a break

I guess the CT scan will reveal all

very very good point. i couldn't understand for the life of me why that was the case.

whelan is GONE. early in the season, damage to the head, time for a tribunal statement .. minimum 2.

WHAT! Whelan is gone for LEGITIMATE SHEPHERDING with his back to the St Kilda player. Surely, the AFL aren't going to ban shepherding from our great game. This is not basketball! What rubbish.

A CT scan would be to look for a fracture. Worrying to me.

MIXED NEWS FOR INJURED DEMONS

Surely, the AFL aren't going to ban shepherding from our great game.

Well, they're doing their level best to remove just about everything else physical, so this unfortunately should not be surprising !!!

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.

This is great news, considering how bad it looked last night.

And thanks for the link Madness. Excellent news about Whelan :D !!!

Similar news to the other link really but good to have it confirmed!

If Wheels gets rubbed out for that bump then I will absolutely spew. It was a perfectly legitimate shepherd that just unfortunately resulted in a clash of heads. :angry:

All these onjuries are very disheartning to start the season, especally for the superstar in Brock Mclean. I hope the CT scan will clear him of major injury in the 'bones' and he will be out for only 2-3 weeks, not 10 weeks as some commentators have said

A clash of heads certainly does hurt, I have done it, but it does not deserve a suspension, because how could he get out of it He could not

phew thats good news on Brock that it be a month hopefully

[Guest dee'viator]

Is there any information on Whelan and Brock?

brock does worry me alot he is soo injruy prone its not funny.

there is better news on the fitness of key defender Jared Rivers and the experienced Byron Pickett, with Demons football operations manager Chris Fagan confident both will be fit for the Easter Monday clash with Hawthorn at the MCG.

Both will need to pass fitness tests later in the week after missing the season opener with hamstring soreness while defender Matthew Whelan, who suffered neck spasms against the Saints, is also expected to be fit to face the Hawks.
