I am a bit confused though. Has he also got a broken rib or something? The article said a punctured lung.

I heard an exerpt of an interview with Ricky's dad, he credited the Melbourne medical staff with doing everything right when he came off. But one thing that was interesting was that the doctors said it might not have even happened during the game, it could've been a bubble inside his lungs that developed last week.

said quick thinking by the doctors saved his life, lets all give the doctors a big hand, they deserve it

Yeah same- i would also like to thank the doctors for their quick thinking and actions.

Keep up the good work Melbourne Doctors :)

He'll be alright! I've had collapsed a lung before... it hurts like you would not believe, and at the time it feels like youre going to die until they reinflate your lung... But he'll be alright.

It sounded a little bit more serious than that, if you believe the newspaper reports.

You know the thing I worry about? I play WRFL and there's if this were to happen to me or one od my team mates (as rare occurance as it is), we'd probably die because they don't have the treatment. :blink:

I understood this condition was not a result of playing football and more a pre-existing problem.

The fact that a cyst caused the collapsed lung is much better news than had it been caused by a football injury. eg crushed ribs etc,etc. This means that young Ricky will NOT LACK CONFIDENCE when he resumes playing next season. He has impressed me greatly with his football brain and his cool and creative play. Well done young man!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
