Sweating on AP and Jackson scans !

Haven't seen the match - what happened?

 

[wakojako]

What did Jackson do?

Jackson had his knee strapped with ice. After the game the ice was removed and was running freely to the boundary so shouldn't be too serious.

Looked like a cut maybe. Not too worried about LJ

Jackson minor cork, Johnson a hot spot caught early, two weeks, Pearce just a knock, sore and wait for scans. Feeling better now than he did at 3 qtr time.

JLO confirmed corky and precautionary for Jako but he is nervous about Pearce.

I mean worst case if it's re-broken then it's the same 3-4 week injury right?

Would still be good for finals.

I call bullshit on Jacko, he said knee on knee which is the mechanism for PCL. They were icing the front of his knee, they’ll scan him to assess PCL. They’d be negligent not too.

The break would be in a different place and a piece of bone floating is very different to a break between two halves.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Chill bro, he was fine. Saw him jogging around with my own eyes after the game.

You near the interchange bench too

I'm sure you would have decent vision of him running

Yes, saw him meaning about 3m away. Was watching Pearce gesturing at his arm to Serong pointing to a saw spot on the back just up from the wrist.
Hope it's nothing cause Pearce showed just how important he is, thought he only got beaten a couple of times all day. Great to have such an attacking key defender.

Tbh I thought Darcy copped some pretty strong head knocks in the last quarter - that concerns me more than Jackson.

Icing the Tibialis Anterior. There was a marking contest just before he went off and he copped a hit in that fleshy bit below the kneecap. The second picture below is of Jackson.

More likely bursa/patella tendon/fat pad if that was the location.

Either way not something I'd expect to keep him out of next week.

I hope afl.com.au is correct

, who finished the match under a cloud but had suffered a corked calf that won't keep him sidelined for next Saturday's Western Derby.

 

[StingBitten]

JL sounded incredibly worried. I can deal with 3-4 weeks I can't deal with season out.

Everyone seemed so confident that the plate was strong enough to keep structural integrity and that it was just risk of wound infection that stopped him from coming back earlier. Now one knock to the arm and he’s looking at missing again? Sounds like a bit of negligence from the medicos

 

[Big Flappy]

The way i understood it was that the original fracture was solid and wont break again. the concern was that the edges of the plate create a lever point for the bone to possibly break. this was a risk if they waited a week or a month.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

I haven't heard the presser but the quotes I read JL says he'll need a scan but hopefully he's good for next week.

That's somewhat optimistic.

Is there a limit to how many plates he can have in his arm?

 

[G Mus]

Scan would most likely to check the screws for any trauma
