Has been a disastrous pickup for Carlton
Going from a player crueled by injuries to a genuine hard luck story. Just can't get on the park and it's getting to the point where an impressive player may fail to reach his peak potential. Bloody harsh result for him tonight.

Very disappointing. Very good footballer when he is up and about.

I liked to watch him play when he was at his peak, but it was a bad decision for Carlton to get him to start with and only getting worse.
He reached it for us IMO - that 2011 H/A season was something to behold from Daisy. Injuries since then, both at us and the Blues, have really ruined any chance he had of getting back to that level.
After five months of pre season, you wouldn't wish it on anyone to be shot after five minutes.
Just can't catch a break now. Hopefully this isn't going to spell the end for him. His recent track record is pretty worrying. He'll come back, but he might struggle to play to his standards.
Oddly enough, it's probably the best worst long-term injury for him to get. Shouldn't impact on his fitness too much, he isn't an in-and-under contested player who gets crunched 200 times a game either. Nowhere near a career-ending type injury for him I would've thought.

Feel bad for the bloke, having a child next week aswell and he wont be able to cradle his own son/daughter for a few weeks you would think.
That's what I meant. That season seemed like it could have been a launching pad for him to become a very good, possibly elite, player in the league. Since then it's been one injury after another. Very unfortunate.

Where did you get that info from, is there a link? Given he spent the whole game on the bench means there was no break so only a scan will reveal if surgery is needed from a dislocation.

Should o protected himself for impact with the earth rather than frail his arms about to seek a cheap free kick
hopfully he has a good recovery

However you combine that with the other endless list of injuries and it paints a bad picture.

Unbelievable bad luck for both him and Carlton. He should be bulked up by this time next year. If he hasn't put on 5kg minimum it means he doesn't care.
