I'll wait until there is more info on this before commenting too much.

For now suffice to say that it is very rare for non-family visitors to be allowed into ICU especially post covid. 

Not sure that's exactly what he meant. Also pointed to the fact that Trac announced his season over via his Instagram as opposed to Melbourne doing it first. Know doubt Morris is bringing up [censored], but I believe he's got a source inside the club judging off some of the previous stories leaked.

As Christian was in ICU for the first 2-3 days I don't know what other 'lack of care' or contact from the club Morris could allude to. 

Alluding is just another way of throwing mud at the club with no facts to back it up.

He is a lowlife.

Apologies all round from the keyboard doctors both here and in the media would be welcome. But unlikely to be forthcoming from the latter at least.

Having a high pain threshold has its dangers and when they operate sans anaethesia, its advantages.

Much is made of any and all evaluations . Ive been one..  and some are saying even with the best scans and protocols ...  how was it missed.

In all of this the the "blindingly obvious" ( correct jnr ) seems just as blindindly overlooked and/or disregarded.   He couldn't move properly and was in pain.

You could see it....I could see it....I know others here could..   The Collingwood players could and seemed more concerned.

How bizarre ..  .  Among any questions and evals did it occur to anyone to do the one "bleeding obvious" test..    throw a ball high to Trac......   The result should have been again....bleeding obvious and he would never have been sent out on the field and most likely ambo'd to hospital for scans there and then.

Why wasnt this the case.? 

 

I agree I was sitting in my hotel room screaming what the hell are doing letting him back on.     Bleeden obviously should have been straight and sent to hospital asap like may was earlier in year.   Heads have to roll over this.  My daughter is a doctor   she agrees terrible decision

Our docs didn't have high-tech scanning equipment but even the hospital which did have them got it wrong initially.  

Why should you in your hotel room know better?  Does your daughter often diagnose without seeing the patient?  Of course it looked very bad, but we've seen that sort of thing before, and while the player may not end up playing out the game, they don't often end up in ICU.

I foolishly though the report about what initially happened at the hospital would have quietened the keyboard doctors on here. Seems I was wrong.

 

Seems a lot of Demonlanders are still obsessed or fixated with Maynard over the Brayshaw incident & now Moore over the Petracca injury.

I'm much more worried that we have been $h!those for over a month and that our brains trust has run out of ideas.

Agree but Maynard is still a country member

According to Tracc, no visitors allowed for a week or so, bar the other half with food & supplies, due to the spleen being associated with the immune system.

Pies [censored] already on the socials with the 'bring him home' message. [censored] off, and also [censored] off media for the continued destabilising campaign.

Here we go..

 


I keep going to our Website expecting to see something, anything regarding Tracc’s situation but no all we are getting is AFL or some media person rabitting on. I would have liked to have seen this story unfold via our club, even an interview at the hospital telling us how he is faring. Where is our new Media manager, wtf.!!

Typical Wilson story..trying to drum a story off the back of Tom Morris dribble…Morris used to get the scoop on Melbourne stories but no longer really does. The family doesn’t want to make a statement..this is just bulls..t but it requires a statement from the Club immediately. The philosophy to not entertain these stories has not worked well for us lately. Earn ya keep Roffey

Still no excuse for sending him back on
