Dylan Howard has reportedly discovered, through his association with Dr. Heinz Deissler, that Brock McLean actually sustained a career-threatening injury (fracture scaphoid) in the dust-up at Munich.

This is the same injury that ended Gerard Healy's career.

Advice from those medicos that assessed Steve Johnson's ankles, apparently advised "just bathe it in the Rhine, and start some strength work on it".

just wat i got from ology!

jeez plz i hope this isn't true!!

Yeh its true. True tragedy. Here is a little story following that.

Brock Mclean, Vin Diesel and Arnold Schwarzenegger have all died and are in Heaven. Each of them hope to occupy the seat next to God. God asks Vin Diesel why he thinks he should have the seat and Vin replies, "I believe... I should have the seat because of the virtuosity in my toughness and pride." Arnie says, "I believe... that I should be the one sitting next to you because of all my achievements." God then turns to Brock Mclean, who replies with, "I believe... you are sitting in my seat."

It's not true. The person who posted this on 'ology was quite obviously taking the wee. A few on there took the bait too.

People never cease to amaze me with their extreme gullibility.

Well thats a relief. I was looking at the team stats for 2006 and Brock was in nearly every top 5; hard ball gets, contested possisons, tackles, un-contested possesions and many others. He acheived this while only averaging 84mins per game now this is amazing. If Brock can regain this form I think he may disprove some of the doubts displayed on this site.

Lets not turn this into a Brock debate again.

A fractured scaphoid is no big injury anyway. Generally if it's identified straight away they heal. Unlike mine that was not identified quickly enough and never healed correctly and I feel no pain or have any limited movement.

Dare I ask where the 'scaphoid' can be found on the body?

In the wrist. It has a vein that runs through it and when it fractures there is a potential for one end of the bone not to get any blood. It doesn't show up in x-rays until a week after so it's sometimes missed and a bone graft is needed to heal the fracture and supply blood to the other end. It has the potential to put a player out for a while with bone grafts but rarely would it be career ending.

Just a little story....

I broke my scaphoid in 3 places during this season.... It was Rnd 7 and I did it in the 2nd Qtr after I spoilt the ball from HB and then the CHF fell on top of me.... I lost all movement in my wrist within 1 minute.... I then played the rest of the match (in unbelievable pain) in the ruck and had no use of my right hand.... Tapping with the left for a right handed bloke is more difficult than it sounds....

After the match, one of the opposition players came up and went to shake my hand.... Not thinking, I offered mine and the pain I felt was nothing short of krazy! I went straight to hospital after the match and it showed up straight away on X-Rays.... Full cast for 6 weeks.... Then bone grafts from my hip when it didn't heal.... Full cast for another 6 weeks.... Physio twice a week since....

I have retired.... At the ripe old age of 29.... I have been told that I can play next season as long as I wear a protective wrist guard....

I am glad the Brock story is false....

Can be a nasty little injury! Tiny bone... but apparently one of the more difficult ones to seriously break!

I guess I was just lucky! :(

I broke mine spoiling the ball on a thurs training, played the sat, in pain but played one of my better games, copped a hit to the kidneys, was pissing blood so went to the hospital where they x rayed my wrist (was still bandaged from the game) was in a cast for 6 weeks, 3 weeks after that i re broke it but they said i had just hurt tendons, 3 months later i had a pin inserted in there, its healed ok, i have lost movement in my wrist and retired at the ripe age of 23 :(

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
