Tom McDonald re-injures foot

[jnrmac 20,276]

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere but I searched and couldn't find it.

 

I read somewhere that TMac has re-injured his foot and won't play today? Anyone shed some light? This doesn't sound very good for Tom who has had a history of toe/foot related injuries..

 

Can't help thinking of Trengove, Mitch Clark etc.....

He got a premiership 

[Pennant St Dee 13,389]

Apparently having surgery tomorrow

[censored]! Shouldn’t have tried to rush him back so hard. 3 months for a 6 month injury? Jesus

[dees189227 12,453]

So he wouldn't have been available Friday night anyway if we did get through.

Well at least they can take time over the pre season to get it right.

I hope they do because we really missed him

When he played in the Prelim for Casey after our season was done, I thought to myself ‘why?’

It may be a sign of the respect between clubs and the playing group but the risk did not outweigh that benefit.

And here we are.

The fact we are chasing Gunston is probably a result of this. Incredibly poor decision making from the football dept. Reeks of desperation.

Where has it confirmed that we're chasing Gunston?

He does reek of desperation.  It would have been left in T Macs hands if he wanted to have a crack at it and he choose to do so

It’s still the FD call. They would have to tick it off.

Maybe he was going to have surgery anyway to remove the metal?

Demonland. Obviously.

[deanox 10,045]

I thought they said during coverage last week that someone stepped on his foot?

If so, it might be a bad luck situation rather than poor management.

I assume you're a doctor/physio and you can definitively confirm that the speed of TMac's rehab contributed to the re-injury?

[Roost it far 9,531]

Has he reinjured the same foot/previous injury?

Had his foot stomped on last week which could very likely be what has caused the re-injury.

I remember asking myself "Why" when watching Schwarz run around like a man possessed in a pre-season game starring in the 2s at Lavington after his 1st or 2nd knee reco.
Popped it again early in the 3rd qtr.
 
In the 2s, playing like it was a final during pre-season.
Could not believe what I was watching.

I believe The Charlatan mentioned this in between moaning about being victimised or some nonsense.

Yeah that was a GNF super supreme special

Pretty sure they said on the broadcast after interviewing him that it wasn't that but a kick to the calf..

Its a 6 month injury - one that some don’t ever come back from and he was playing back at 3 months. Now he’s out injured. 

I don’t have to be a medic to question wtf they thought they were doing. It’s shambolic. 

[SPC 3,571]

Might be ‘fork in it’ time for Tom.

[picket fence 17,973]

Hnmmm is it the end for him?
