Player Watch #33: Brayden 'Sausage' George - re-signed until end of 2026

[The acurate one]

Yall need to be patient is all. And does anyone remember the acid rain that hit the Kyvalley area around 19 years ago? Am sure it made the WIN news.

Put 2 and 2 together you lot.

George will be worth the wait

 

[King Corey]

Our streak of young prospects getting injured is a sight to behold.

 

[Krakouer Bonar]

Done. I am so sick and tired of this club picking up injury prone players hoping it will turn, for every Tarrant there is an Ahern, Perez and George, its ******* putrid list management and an indictment of where we are as a club. * off Brady.

Another stupid pot shot from the cheap seats.

 

[Roostorm]

Gutted…..crossing fingers for length of time…but I’ll back him in..just means pause …..
This year is just full of spanners ….

 

[scottywiper]

If we didn't have bad luck...we'd have no luck at all.

Don’t know whether to laugh or cry …

 

[Rampaging roos]

Another season gone for the young kid.

* this sport - any chance of a tiny bit of luck

Apparently it popped back in straight away so it could be on the minor side let's hope so

He’ll look like a mummy with knee, elbow and shoulder bandages.
Hope ffs it’s not that bad.

Went back and checked the childhood song and can confirm that the knee bone is NOT connected to the shoulder bone. These two incidents are completely unrelated.

 

[Retiredbattler]

I just spoke to him and he said he’ll know / find out on Monday.

He is 20 years of age I’ve said on here they draft players to play for 10 years. His a genuine gun

I feel for him and his family, they’ve been massive in supporting him.

 

[andana]

his family, they’ve been massive in supporting him.

The family were ecstatic when we drafted George

Yeah my ugly head was in that video. Yeah Sue (mother) is full on but gee she’s a ripper!

Keep us posted mate .

 

[RightWingRoo]

Hopefully nothing too serious for young Brayden.
A big part of our future and has a lot of what we need. Can't wait to see those 60m roosts in the 1's

Boy oh boy, surely we're due a change of luck soon.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Stupid comment. Bit of a doom scrolling mentality going on with some posters around here.
Miller Bergman had no injuries I'm aware of when we picked him up and he did his shoulder game 2. It happens.
Hope Brayden is doing ok and it's on the minor scale.

 

[Horizons_00]

Jeez he’s had some back luck

 

[ansonholt]

I've done both shoulders over the years playing footy and other sports. A dislocation is not an automatic reconstruction.

Once my left went out mid game, I put it back in and kept playing. Got it reconstructed months later when it went out again and I was sick of it happening.

Season not necessarily over. Depends on how they assess it.

EDIT: From the VFL thread...

"Brayden will get scans over the weekend or Monday to show the extent of the damage, but he seemed in good spirits so hopefully it's on the minor end," Lynch said.

 

[kirbonavich]

I've not been more excited in recent history to see a player debut for North.

Footy in 2024 has been bloody hard to stomach.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

It's not the going in that causes the damage. It's how bad it was coming out.

We won't know the extent til he has his scans.

 

[shinboner magic]

Let’s face it - he’ll be out for a while either way.
Young player isn’t going to get strapped up to get through the season.
We will take the conservative approach

Especially this season.

Although finals is still a possibility…

Had about 250 shoulder dislocations and a shoulder reco on either end of those. Had a standard reco in the beginning and at the time there was a thing called a latarjet procedure which is a shoulder reco with a bone graft but due to where medicine was, Greg Hoy only did about 6 a year, fast forward 12 years, he was doing that amount a day, so when I had the second one, we went with the Latarjet.

By god does a latarjet fix the problem, the bone graft literally locks your shoulder in the socket, but boy, if poor sausage has to have one of them, it’s a 6-8 month recovery. Never, ever had such a long, slow painful rehabilitation after any surgery, reco, break or dislocation as that particular operation.

Shoulders and knees are the worst

 

[archerboy]

Wasn’t there someone who wore number 18 who had dodgy shoulders early in his career? From memory he turned out ok
