Looked like a pretty bad break, it was weird his leg just collapsed under him.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Ouch. Landed on it, then the weight of his body really finished the snap.

Might not have been as bad if he didn't fall on it

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Reports are saying that he was taken away by an Ambulance to the Epworth Hospital

 

[golazo]

Nasty!

 

[alfy!]

Oh dear, that is terrible. Melbourne's week gets worse.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Shocking, really feel for him. Good luck with the recovery Strauss.

 

[Purplrrr]

poor poor bloke. that was just sickening to look at leg just sorta crumpled. weird and horribly horribly unlucky. fingers crossed for best recovery.

 

[Torpedo12]

When did it happen in the match?

Really, I thought he'd just have a pie on the bench whilst the bone protruded from the skin

The morphine would be popping overtime

 

[SSSSSS]

That doesn't look good at all. Really feel sorry for him and Melbourne. Wish him well on a long recovery and hope the dees stick with him.

Atleast he gets a go on the white whistle.

Bad, but Jaymie Grahams this year was worse

Poor guy, the bottom half of the leg just went the opposite way from his top half...........sickening injury

 

[HawkMongrel]

I felt sick watching that, more angles in his leg than fed square.

Poor kid, really feel for him.

Couldn't bring myself to watch it.

Heard it on Triple M and had to cover the eyes with the newspaper when I started watching the Ch. 10 telecast.

Horrible news, but, if you have to break your leg, this is probably the best time to do it. He'll miss 2012, maybe get back for the last game and then try and get a full preseason and be right to go 2013.

 

[Magma]

apparently broken the fibula and tibia, the same bones barlow broke last year.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

The kid is young, he'll return.

 

[Dan Moody]

Horrible luck for the lad
On the positive side, nice blind turn and goal by Watts

 

[XFactor1979]

The kid is young, he'll return.

At least its not a Jamie Lawson/ Jason Snell career ender

 

[GoldenHodge]

It was a horrible incident to a player who has all the makings to be a quality player. All the best towards his recovery.

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Poor guy, hopefully he recovers from it.

 

[raven echo]

Just horrible

 

[Forward Press]

Oh god that was horrible.

All the best in his recovery.
