News Charlie Dixon signs for West Broken Hill

[Portwon]

Houston was on the stretcher

No disrespect and not aimed at you Justwork.

There would be more than one stretcher (but then again there is only one camera apparently....)

Not good enough. Not good enough by the club in man and injury management.

There should be, but wouldn’t suprise me one bit of there was only the one stretcher

We've made his ankles so strong his leg breaks instead. Typical Ports.

There may have been only one motorized stretcher and that had to go to the player who had to be taken off with as little movement as possible. But surely Dixon could have been carried off by four men carrying a stretcher? Why didn't the blokes with Dicko ask for a stretcher, even from West Coast if it was necessary.

Broken Fibula

F***! Said straight away he snapped it.

just rub the salt in the wound even more!

Surely the motorized cart would have it's own stretcher in the 1st place, and one on the bench. Laughable to think otherwise.

What would happen if 2 players smash heads and they both get ko'd as a result?, would one have to wait until the other is taken off?

Amateurish league!!

Thats bad news that he needs surgery. Either it is around the base of foot or its a bad break and needs to be pinned to assist the healing process.

 

[OneGreatClub]

In a perverse way, the fibula is the lesser (evil) of the two. A broken tibula can be career ending. Let's hope there is little if any signifcant ligament damage.

Tibia

Too heavy. Our trainers are too unfit to carry big dix

Tibia

Yeah, I know.

He probably chose to.

So it's not the glass ankles as we feared years ago, that's a positive.

Is he likely to play Round 1 or a significantly interrupted pre season?

Likely to be a 6 to 8 week recovery time. So unless things go wrong in surgery or the fracture is worse than what the club is letting on he'll be right to go for start of pre-season.

That's a relief.

 

[Willsy10]

At least he can focus on his main passion for the rest of the year, it hasn't been footy this year.

 

[RookiePick]

Shit news. Hope the recovery goes smoothly for the big fella.

****ing hell..no wonder it snapped!

 

[Ford Fairlane]

What's that wrapped in the blanket hanging off the side of the bed?

So disappointed we won't have the Big Dix and the Big Cox facing off. The commentary team would have been reduced to a giggling mess.

Don’t blame him

 

[PowerBaz]

I’ve got theee screws in my leg.

Stopped me from playing AFL.

Actually I was not much good but I still have three screws!
