I've still got the X-Rays from Dick Whittington Hospital. Travel Insurance came through and got her onto the earliest QANTUS flight they could. The hospital put her into a temporary cast with a big split down the middle. This allowed her to fly, as it allowed expansion of the foot; mostly due to the lower air pressure. When she got home she got a monstrous screw and a heap of wire in the foot, which then went into a moonboot. She was not allowed to put any pressure on it for three months. The doctor said that, if she followed instructions, she would make a 100% recovery, and she did. She has gone back to London again. She will probably be home in a couple of years and she can come to the footy with me again.

Flying back with broken bones is quite common. My daughter once broke her foot in London and had to fly back to get it treated here rather than run the gauntlet of the public health system in the UK. The fact that we could get her treated here under our system was not the main issue, the real problem is that you are not allowed to travel on planes for some time after you have plaster attached.

In the Footscray game, they put the ice pack high up on his right thigh.

Didn't he get four in the first quarter?

Four players on four votes means that at least one of them was 4-0. The others could be 2-2, 3-1, 1-3 or 0-4. This gives Oliver a better than 50% chance to have been given votes by both coaches.

As soon as I saw we had Nichols, I knew we would lose.

Statistics say that when it is 22 V 21, the 22 wins. When it is 22 V 20, you have very little chance. We are a better side than Richmond, and I don't know who is going to play in the ruck next week.

Hannan was a very good contributor today. He will not be dropped.

This was a game we could have, should have, won. Had that happened, it would have papered over the abysmal third quarter, and got the players ahead of themselves. Whilst I, as a supporter who goes to the footy, would have liked to win, it is, methinks, a good game to have lost. That third quarter and the misses by Viney and Weideman, in particular, need to stick in the craw.

Frost - I prefer Oscar
