Sucks for Tom, we've got a very handy replacement all the same.

Time to shine Marc.

So much respect for TDK. Fractured foot in the first quarter which he struggled with clearly. But he rallied hard in the third quarter under duress, got on top of Xerri and won some crucial clearances for us that started our surge. He's not a huge tap winner but his follow up work is amazing, he's like another mid in that regard.

Pitto has a huge role to play both now and in finals. Suspect in finals we will roll with both rucks to protect TDK returning from injury.

Really hope the Blake Acres

scans turn out ok. He's absolutely crucial to us holding our structure. He does so much running especially covering holes defensively. The other sore boys should pull up ok fingers crossed.

TDK tough luck, warrior to have continued playing, and my gosh if the medical team had an inkling with his lung they should be taken to the back shed, but could be an X-factor in a finals run if he makes it.

Fortunately we have a fit and healthy Pitto who he and the mids have an existing connection and experience with. I think it might actually be a good thing for our mids to force them now to focus on the inside work and using Pitto's strength in the run to finals.

 

[Stamos]

and my gosh if the medical team had an inkling with his lung they should be taken to the back shed

It happened late, he took 2 more contests then went off.

 

[Dramoth]

It happened when Xerri went straight into his ribs with his shoulder. Just after Tom had kicked it into our forward line.

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Well we’ll…

I heard the news before coming on here & expected to see nuclear melts.

Has the CFC following finally grown up?

can’t wait to see how Pitto makes this his time

 

[Dramoth]

After that hit which was off the ball I believe he was talking to the doc pointing at his chest indicating he had trouble breathing. Thought he was just winded.

That's what I thought when I saw it. Tom had already kicked the ball and Xerri went into Tom's ribs with his shoulder.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Fractured foot and a busted lung.

Jesus that's a rough day.

A.Dont think we can win finals without TDK.

B.What about if Pitto gets injured?

Mirkov/Hudson/Lemmey is who we have left.

Quite the gutsy performance by TDK.

 

[carlton_99]

 

[RAPPA]

Calamitous. Sheizen luck for TDK. 7 weeks until the first final. Without knowing the severity of both injuries he has sustained, that looks like a short timeframe to return. With injuries again mounting, we have to return to the next man up mantra.

Wouldn't this be every club in the Afl ? Have some faith

Tell those ****s down at the league office to ****ing do one.

One injury at a time ffs. We’ll cross that bridge if we come to it.

 

[Rustica]

Thank god we have a very handy replacement in Pitto

Makes sense though

TDK can barely chase or jump after coming back on but he ****ing soldiered on like a champion

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Tends to bring out the best in us

 

[agro]

Typically engineered filth from the consummate sniper and football field coward in Alistair Clarkson- Ian Aitken says hello as well.

 

[Revenant1965]

Looks Intentional, Medium to High impact, Body = 1 week at least.
MRO = probably crickets...

 

[SurreyBlue]

That is one hell of one tough display by TdK in the 2nd half.
Also, the sniper got one of his men. Maybe another to come soon.

 

[Opium]

That didn't look like much. Don't think that's the one that did the damage

West Coast won a flag without Nic Nat and had Nathan Vardy as their ruckman. I am sure Pitto will do a good enough job

 

[bigblueboy]

Carnage ahead. We will find out a lot about our club through the remainder of this season.

Nah, looks like there was nothing in it from a malice / intent perspective. TDK was either hit flush so that even the most innocuous contact would've caused or significantly contributed to the outcome, or he was already ginger in that area. Either way, kudos to the King for fighting on!
