Oh ****. aCL confirmed. Poor fella.
There was a centre square bounce 5-10 mins before he came off the first time where he was feeling his hammy area. As others have suggested he most likely tweaked it but thought it was a cramp.
What do you mean it was hard to determine? Watch the footage again, he grabbed his hammy immediately after kicking the ball in a pack situation.
No wonder half the list is in the medical rooms when our fitness department can’t get the basics right.

Rubbish! I watched him carefully for 5min before the injury was first spotted, and he moves well, has some long kicks, and never shows any signs of an issue. He first grabs at his thigh after the sideline contest below, when he lands awkwardly - 10.08min mark. After that he comes off, remonstrates with the medics, does some sideline running, then lays down for some more assessment, all the while talking with the doc. You can clearly see he is downplaying it, perhaps calling it a light corky.
Then we see him come back on at the 6.26min mark. He is seen jogging around after that, following the play. but he actually doesnt get another touch after that. He doesnt really push his hammy, but never touches it again or shows discomfort. Then we see him come off for the final time around the 1min to go mark in the 3rd.
Stop with this stupid blaming of the club for everything, and inventing "facts" that aren't true! Unless they are certain, the medics will always give the player the benefit of the doubt.
No he doesn’t. If you watch his previous disposal (kick) before this period of play you will see him pull up short after kicking the ball. The camera does pan out quickly, but the vision is there. When he goes to the bench you can clearly see him demonstrating with the club medico that it was the kicking action itself. The damage had already taken place before the awkward landing on the boundary line.
I don’t even understand why people are even trying to debate this when the hamstring strain has already been confirmed by a medical scan.

You are joking arent you?
That kick might have been the action that injured his hammy. But that kick was literally 10 seconds before the boundary incident that sees him grab at the leg, then come off.
I really dont know what point you are arguing! The argument is not whether we know NOW that he has a minor hammy injury, its about whether they knew it at the time!
He doesnt grab his leg after that kick. He just seems to do a skip, which could indicate something at the time, but Rozee actually often does a skip after completing a kick. The boundary action sees him wince & grab the leg, realizing something is up. He didnt think it was a hammy though, and he moved freely enough to convince the medics he was ok.
No blame can be put on the club medics for this ... It falls squarely on the captain. He does a few minutes of light jogging after that, and doesnt even get a touch before being pulled off. No way does he do any further damage by that.
My issue is the constant flagellating of the club & it's medical handling in circumstances where they have no blame. It has become the number 1 sport on Bigfooty.
Pretty common thing for someone that has never done a hammy before, especially when it is quite minor to not think too much of it until they run around for a bit more and realise something isn't quite right. I doubt it would've made it worse testing it out a bit. Not a big deal.

Yeah you think this is bad but if we get 3/4 out of him then inject Jedhad and declare the fatwah, it'll be a marvelous gambit.
How many games does Lord get for the magpies before he is seriously considered?
2?
