He didn't have a hip replacement. He had what's known as a pelvic osteotomy to correct hip dysplasia. Hip dysplasia is when you are born with weird angles of the acetabulum (socket) in relation to the head of femur (ball). The break the pelvis in a few spots to change the angle which allows the ball to sit more snug in the socket.

Without the surgery the hip is notoriously unstable and the risk of total degenerative osteoarthritis by 35 year of age and THEN a total hip replacement is huge.

Another preseason and his kicking will return.

Would've expected Keys to be across correcting any hip replacement misunderstandings.

One of the other posters on here seemingly with a medical background suggested he’d be lucky to get to 100 games with the hip issue he’s got. I take it you don’t share that view?

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Anyone got thoughts on Boxhall after the season he’s had? Might be on our radar as an option pick 23 or if we got the Hawks pick 30?

I know none of the Eastern state’s experts are putting him in the top 30 but he’s right here under our noses. Had an excellent state champs and best on in the grand final in my opinion on the weekend.

187cm and an accumulator.

I’d be happy with a R4 for him

 

[mat11]

I preferred Urquhart's state games to Allan's tbh

 

[THE A5]

Is Allan related to the kent the pies took?

 

[new breed]

Is Allan related to the kent the pies took?

No ....but looked pretty good playing midfield against SD in the WAFL preliminary final , was impressive .

 

[WA footy mad]

Baker is not coming to WCE unless we get him for pick ,

 

[WA footy mad]

If WC used pick 13 to get Baker, which pick/s would we need to get back from Richmond?
Another Richmond supporter

 

[Broken_Chairs]

I'd be comfortable trading 23 for Baker. Don't love the idea of trading anything earlier.

 

[plays tall 1]

Here’s one of Noobermensch’s video on Hannaford in the Coates League GF. There are videos of his 5 and 6 goal hauls earlier in the season on Youtube.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

I can't believe people are writing off Sheed already.

Sheed is done he is slower than an Amish drag race

 

[THE A5]

Any relation to the Eagles captain?

I hate the idea of giving up F1, F2, and F3 picks. That's what we did last year with Clay Hall. it hamstrings us and means we keep cannibalising the next draft to deal with the current draft. The only trade I'd consider is Hawks F1 for a decent first this year, but even that hurts the idea of Warner.

Pick 64 might be useful in a deep draft, but banking on that to actually return a reliable AFL player is wishful thinking.

Just my opinion, but your F2 is going to be pushed back a lot, like possibly 10 odd places.

And that’s before anyone has any idea of how many compo picks will be handed out next year.

Right now, the depth of next year’s draft looks to be club tied through NGA’s and father son kids.

WCE_phil might be able to confirm from what he’s heard from recruiters.

 

[briztoon]

There are going to be some surprises this draft in the second and third rounds that people don’t see coming.

I tend agree that he’s probably later than in the middle but he (Boxhall)is one for instance that could surprise.

Urquhart and Artemis are two others. It will largely depend on how clubs view them.

Urquhart for instance has had a hip replacement

An actual hip replacement or surgery to repair something in his hip?

Both will affect his quality of life going forward, but gees I wouldn’t want my kid playing AFL if he/she has had a hip replacement.

*not a medical opion.

and has affected his kicking. Clubs may stay well away from him but also could say he’s got lots of room for improvement. At 190cm and a ball pig let’s roll the dice. Let’s back in that we can improve his kicking seeing he’s had to adjust late in his development. A little how Cripps had to adjust through a major growth spurt. It will be an interesting draft.

 

[KERRPOW]

If WC used pick 13 to get Baker, which pick/s would we need to get back from Richmond?

bricks will be anonymously thrown through windows at MRP if we gave up pick 13 for baker.

I believe he has already confirmed this in a previous comment and as such F2/3 picks holding **** all value in trade conversations

Unless you have a couple of second round picks that can be packaged up to buy a first round pick.

There’s going to be a few first round picks up for trade for points next year.

Don't we have potential academy kids next year as well though? With the changes in points we might need that second rounder.

 

[THE A5]

No

Never seen such interest in an average player like with Peatling

Yeah it wasn’t a hip replacement. Woosha replied as to what it was above. Was some form of hip surgery.
