Just saw on 7 news former Port Adelaide and Brisbane player Aaron Shattock is fighting for his life after being crushed under an excavator.
Devastating news, I'm sure all our wishes are with him for a full recovery.

Former Brisbane Lions player Aaron Shattock was admitted to hospital in a critical condition on Sunday after he was pinned under an excavator on his Gold Coast property for an unknown period.
Emergency services arrived at the Worongary property about 1.30pm to find the 44-year-old trapped under the heavy machine.
A Queensland Police spokesman said Shattock was working on the property when the digger rolled and trapped him underneath “for a while”.
Paramedics said Shattock suffered major life-threatening injuries to his chest, and was taken to Gold Coast University Hospital in a critical condition mid-afternoon.
Shattock, a midfielder who made his AFL debut with the Brisbane Lions in 2000, was part of the team that won the 2002 grand final. He spent four years with the Lions followed by two at Port Adelaide before his 2006 retirement.

Sad news indeed. Aaron played 57 games for Brisbane and 11 for Port in a seven year career.
Hopefully he makes full recovery.

I'm hoping no news is good news and Aaron is on the way to a full recovery, but does anyone have any updates on the situation?

The most recent update I saw was a couple of days ago where Aaron was still in a critical but stable condition.
