A mental eye short term, and work on your flexibility longer term.

Hahaha

Keep an eye on your lower back, if it starts getting sore particularly in bed then give your groin a good stretch

Just say the word and we'll have 1/2 a dozen BigFooty experts round your place laying healing hands on at mates rates. What could go wrong?

I didn't realise how filthy it sounded until right now.

Adductors, instead of saying groin

Yep really opened a can of worms there. I could respond but I didn’t.

I am still trying to understand how this sounded filthy, but maybe I am just too dense when it comes to such things or the mental sense of lower back problems are just too awful/painful to conjure up dirty imagery?

Spoke to someone who spoke to NOD last week i’m just passing the info on hopefully it’s not true and there’s another reason he didn’t play today.

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Never play again? Did he have a leg amputated?

Might not play again for freo - true, but not footy again?

He played a game two weeks ago. Surely if his latest injury was so severe we would've heard something about it?

Yeah sorry it actually is Aiden he’s been told by his Neurosurgeon he may not play again sorry if i caused any stress.

God that is awful for him.

 

[pK75]

God that is awful for him.

Just horrendous luck for the kid.

On another note, what’s up with Darcy? He almost looked like he was playing with a walking boot on, he had so much strapping around that calf/knee. Haven’t seen that much… stuff around a player’s limb outside of NFL where they were actual braces while playing

AOD suffered a nasty head clash in late Jan 2024 pre-season match sim. He is still listed on the WB injury list as concussion - TBA.

Its crazy how some severe and wacky injuries to fringe players like Aiden and Nathan O'Driscoll don't get media headlines or even reported properly by the club's they play for.

Both those boys aren't going through the run of the mill injuries you'd expect as an AFL player - it makes me wonder how much similar stuff clubs keep under wraps.

What is happening with NOD that we aren't being told? I figured there must be something as it has taken a long time.

The severity of both their injuries are being underreported. A quick google search and I can only find the following AFL players who have had blood clots:

• James Hird - missed 5 games
• Troy Simmonds - 4 games in 2008 and the recurred in 2009 where he missed the rest of the season
• Shane Mumford - 4 weeks
• Colin Sylvia - 3 weeks
• Tom De Koning - seemingly the only one without time missed on this list however it happened in early February
• Keegan Brooksby - season ending
• Sam Martyn - season ending
• Tom Rockliff - career ending
• Daniel Wells - career ending

Doesn't paint a pretty picture. I'm well aware the majority of the serious ones are for players who have had issues with clots in their lungs but nonetheless it's incredibly odd for an elite athlete to develop a blood clot in their joint without an apparent injury to cause it.
