He's spending the night in hospital. We'll probably know more after they've had another look at him tomorrow.

Depends - but given what we know at the moment I would think it unlikely...

 

[WCE57]

Good to heard that he is okay! Love watching the kid play.

Good Luck against the Blues!

 

[Good Win]

Thank god he's ok. Feeling less sick now.

great news, if anyone can bounce back its dangerfield

not a slur at melbourne fans just one tool in particular, people like this are scum anyone who thrives on the injury of opposition players is a complete flog.

How sad that the only thought on this guys mind is his dream team. Time to leave Bulby.

 

[SA HAWK]

One of best young players going around.

Happy to hear he is doing ok

 

[bus24]

What a relief.

Delighted there's no fractures. All the best with the recovery Pat, you absolute star.

 

[mitchzz]

Great news!

Love watching him play, he's got class written all over him. Hopefully he'll be back soon.

 

[Crow-mo]

thank the lord for small mercies.

 

[Butane]

Looked terrible. Good to hear the young fella has avoided any serious damage.

 

[Gets!]

I'm just concerned as to why he needs more scans...and what on?

Re: Dangerfield - rotator cuff?

He's referring to the bump on a blindsided Porplyzia whose shoulder was injured. The impact knocked Porps out for a split second, and he was unable to protect himself, landing on his head. It was an ugly incident, I think the player who bumped him got a week from recollection.

I don't think anyone got weeks.

I don't think any of the melbourne pricks will either.

Seeing as they scanned for vertibre cracks/fractures, it's probably a muscular scan to look for tears etc.

Hopefully no scans of the head.

Great to hear his spine is fine.

 

[jackster83]

Great to hear that he is going to be okay. Let's not rush him back too soon though.

Any updates on how the scans went today?

Hopefully its alright

 

[Sublime]

Fantastic news that he appears to be ok. Looked not good at all when it first happened, definitely hard to watch thats for sure.

In defence of the Melbourne players, i don't think there was any ill intent on their behalf. In the heat of battle these things sometimes happen unfortunately.

Was it reckless? Definitely.

Was it malice? I'd highly doubt it.

Just glad that Patrick is ok, as he's a very special player.

 

[oaks]

sorry to be a nussence. but can someone explain hwo the injury happened in detail? i have not seen footage of it and kind of unclear on how bad it was.

thanks

 

[Smoooothy]

he was rammed head first into the turf, which had an adverse effect on his neck

(by rammed, i certainly don't want to lay blame, i think this was just a football incident)

 

[sbenno]

Three melbourne players tackled him, pinning both of Danger's arms, and their momentum drove all of them into the ground with Pat at the bottom. Initially his head hit the ground, then his neck flexed (rather gut-wrenchingly i might add) to the left, and most of the force would have been felt through his right shoulder and neck.

Nasty tackle, not really malicious though. The way his nexy flexes under 3 blokes, it's pretty sickenning to watch in replay.

Danger update:

http://www.afc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/4417/newsid/92155/default.aspx

Patrick Dangerfield’s latest MRI scans have cleared him of any serious damage to his neck.

He has a soft tissue sprain and will be assessed by the club doctor when he returns to the club on Wednesday.

http://www.afc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/4417/newsid/92155/default.aspx

The MRP have not taken any action towards the three Melbourne players that tackeld him:

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/92147/default.aspx

Contact between three Melbourne players and Adelaide’s Patrick Dangerfield from the third quarter of Sunday’s match was assessed. The panel said that Dangerfield had the ball in a contested situation and was attempting to move through a pack when he was gang-tackled by three players and taken to ground. The tackle by the Melbourne players was one action only, with the momentum of the players taking Dangerfield forward. The Melbourne players did not sling Dangerfield to the ground in the tackle. No further action was taken.
