Because the contact looks rather innocuous, yet some are wanting Xerri rubbed out..

Personally, I reckon it would not be unreasonable to assume nothing will happen from an MRO perspective. At the same time, I reckon AFL should be doing something about all this off the ball stuff. I know it's part of 'game play', but is it really necessary?

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Exactly!
What's with the 'no malice' comments? He had no reason to bump at all.

You want people rubbed out for that? Seriously?

I'd like it acknowledged with a hefty fine penalty. What part of 'punctured lung' did you miss?

You need to get a subscription for Gaelic football, do you really understand what you’re saying here?

There was nothing in that vision even remotely reportable

It depends on how you view it, I suppose.
I saw it as Xerri attempting to apply pressure on the kick & then attempting to pull up, rather than an off the ball shot.
Anyway, prob not the thread for it so I'll jog on.

He barely touched him, I highly doubt that is what caused the punctured lung, if it did there be dozens of players out for that injury every single week

You’ve been brainwashed by head office, completely outcome focused

Not a snowflakes chance in hell you’d be saying this if it was the other way around and Xerri was the one with a punctured lung

So if all news is bad news on the injury front we could have even leaving out any new injury arising during the week (aka the weekly training injury) the following unavailable for selection:
Definites
Jack Sivagni - season
Sam Docherty - season?
Tom de Koning - H&A season
Corey Durdin - continuing injury
Matt Carroll - continuing injury
Possibles
Caleb Marchbank - illness
Jordan Boyd - continuing injury
Sam Durdin - calf
Blake Acres - subbed off with general soreness
Jack Martin - continuing building after injury
Orazio Fantasia - continuing injury
Sam Walsh - back
Zac Williams - continuing injury
Billy Wilson - continuing illness
Mitch McGovern - continuing injury
Hudson O'Keeffe - continuing building after injury
That's 16 unavailable. Add Akuei, Mirkov, Moir and Monahan as being not (yet) ready for seniors and that is 20 of 45 unavailable. We have to select at least one of them as an emergency to make up a full list of emergencies, perhaps alongside uncapped Lemmey and Lord. That is with 1/4 gamer Binns in the 23 along with the recently dropped Kemp and the long-time dropped Young.
I realise several of the possible unavailables may be good to go, but all of a sudden our injury list is back to plague proportions.

Where has it been reported that all those players are unavailable?

 

[GoBlues!]

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

It looks to me he might’ve already had the injury and the bump would have been very painful.

Do we know of any previous body blows, the gutless bastards were dropping their knees into players while tackling them on the ground. I thought there was a rule about unduly rough contact Christian?

I'll rephrase the first sentence without the double negative: "Personally, I reckon it would be reasonable to assume nothing will happen from an MRO perspective."
I'd be surprised if Xerri is sanctioned, and if it was the other way around, would annoyed if a Carlton player got sanctioned.
At the same time, is it necessary? And what if that hit actually did cause the damage? (I actually think it's unlikely, as it looks innocuous).

 

[carlton_99]

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

What happened?

[teagueyubeauty]

Oh no

TDK was the good news story? Bad news out soon?

Pneumothorax - Symptoms and causes

www.mayoclinic.org

I had an operation for a pneumothorax over 15 years ago. I was back doing **** all within a week.

I was probably not too helpful.

 

[Revenant1965]

Footy gods hate us

Is there something else besides TDK?

 

[agro]

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!

North player could have pulled up well before he “accidentally stepped” on De Konings foot.

You keen for a run in the ruck this Friday?

 

[RPCB]

You keen for a run in the ruck this Friday?

I have been blessed with Corey Durdin height. So yes, definitely

 

[Revenant1965]

According to BT that's 199cm, and you'll be competing for #38...

Not Walsh is it ?

 

[carlton_99]

Footy gods hate us

what now

 

[sbwan]

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

TDK looks like he's telling the doctor about his troubles breathing in this, so I'd guess the damage was done earlier than the incident we're looking at.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Seems weird they were looking at the top of his foot though, one hell of a hamstring tendon

There’s quite a few in here that love to talk about the bleeding obvious, like they’re dying to do their best BT or Richo impersonations.
Everyone can see the injury list, why make statements about it

I believe in bad juju, more believable than any other fantasy book that’s been published

So if we scrap this thread, we'll never cop another injury?

We won’t know unless we try lol
