Just went back and watched the contest where Pearce hurt his arm. Didn't look like a huge amount of impact which hopefully means it's just a knock and nothing more.
Time will tell.
Part of me was worried though that Alex doesn't exactly have a typical history with fractures.
Time will tell.
Wouldn't personally say it was a good idea but definitely within the realms of an acceptable risk when it comes to what teams do across the competition. There's players out there with broken ribs, torn ligaments, small fractures etc. for every single team across the comp. That and we've seen multiple players successfully play with a forearm splint over the last 10 years after a fracture.

Fwiw Jack Darling had basically the same thing last season and played out the season, and I don't think his performance suffered.
Granted, it's not like it could get much worse.
And to be fair, our club doctors have really been amazing this season.

Whatever the reality is, it behooves us to imagine the worst, assume it’s the likely scenario and cast around for someone to start blaming.

Nah lower down. The main portion of ice is definitely around the tibialis anterior. In saying that who knows but I tend to believe the early reports of cork. Not uncommon to get corks in that region. Best we wait and see.
Not sure about the calf reference. They are just repeating what JLo said and to be honest he has no reason to lie about cork but not a calf from where the ice pack was located.

I think there's two different incidents with Pearce - not sure which one came first.
There was some vision on Footy Furnace tonight where it looks like he's copped a hip bump from Van Rooyen (I think) right on the outside of the guarded forearm and there's another one where he's gone up for a spoil and the underside of his arm has tangled and bent over another arm and someone's head.
Longmuir said something in the post-match about how he should have come off the ground earlier. So maybe he was in a bit of pain and stayed out for another contest while he was still in pain and then the second contest made it worse.

I just watched the replay and he looked uncomfortable in the first quarter and signalled that he would see how things went…

The two I'm mentioning were close to each other just before he went off, so maybe he was going off the ground earlier in the game to get it checked as a kind of "awareness" thing. Hopefully it's something like when he came back from his leg fracture for the first few games where he would go off the ground with a limp and get something checked out and we'd all get scared that he'd broken it again.

He got no sympathy from Luke Ryan after the game when he said he should be ok because he can be a bit of a sook sometimes

He copped a knock to the left leg…that was the discomfort

FWIW, I took 12 weeks with a nasty clavicle fracture some time ago and the bloody thing hurt like heck whenever it got a hit; fractures are pretty tender for the first few months as the healing process progresses. Hopefully Moose is just sore

Doesn’t sound positive for Pearce.

Luke Mac missed pretty much the entire 2nd half of the 2013 season but was back for finals footy.
At this point, that's all i ask for with AP.

Pearce can now be our Bob Murphy.
