Concerning wording used by Carlton of Walsh being out for 'at least' the first month

 

Gun player and can be a nasty injury to recover from.

  • Whispering_Jack changed the title to Sam Walsh - syndesmosis injury

What type of injury is it?

 

Busted ankle. Basically a fracture and tear of the tissue between the tibia and fibula. Generally 4-8 weeks in a moonboot. They suck. 

 

Edit- Sounds like his is even more serious requiring surgery. He'll get a wire or a couple of screws in there. Not fun.

* checks to see when we play Carlton ... and it's not until round 22.  Oh well. 

They will be tanking by then.


Pre 2021 i would have thought, well at least that helps us to claim a spot in the 8.

Post 2021, that sucks seeing a young champ get seriously injured.

The premiership has made me into a much nicer person

He should have prepared himself like a professional athlete.

 


But the cost of insurance 

not to be sneezed at,

Unfortunately for a player with this type of injury the mental side of twisting and turning may become a problem long term because they may not have the confidance to do things they did before the injury.

He is a sensational player and Carlton will feel the loss during the 4 matches he may be out and along with the loss of Jones it may effect their chances of a place in the 8?.

My brother-in-law grandson and son-in-law support the Blues and they hoped they could get a injury free run this year after losing players like Doherty, Curnow and a resticted Cripps last year.

More potential carnage for the Blues

 

Great to see The Blues in Tip Top Condition at the start of a new Season. 
As someone who is old enough to have known their sheer arrogance from 1965-2000 I observe their pains with a quiet smile

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
